little help
GREETINGS, My name is Robert Terlizzi, I am a graphic design student at New Paltz College in NY. I was assigned a project to research a designer and create a poster featuring a short bio of the designer and samples of his work. I chose the designer Wolgang Weingart and I have been having problems finding information on him and samples of his work. I would greatly appreciate if you could help me out in any way, maybe by sending me samples of his posters or any other. My email address is::

terliz36@matrix.newpaltz.edu ...Thank you so much for your time... Ill be waiting for your reply Sincerely, Robert

Visually Appealing
I am a student studying graphic design and found this book to be very helpful in my classes. There are many fully colored pictures of the actually art work and limited text. I enjoy this because I am a visual person and learn by seeing. This book is by far one of the best I have seen.


Degrees of Belief: Subjective Probability and Engineering Judgment

Comments on Degrees of Belief
The new book,DEGREES OF BELIEF. is much more than the subtitle, Subjective Probability and Engineering Judgment, would imply. The author presents a scholarly, sensible treatise that covers both theory and practice and, most importantly, builds a beautiful bridge between them.

The various quotes from lectures and writings of Karl Terzaghi, Ralph Peck and other giants of the engineering profession add much to the book. Moreover, the author's emphasis on the wholeness of theory and practice and that regardless of the paradigm, judgment is imperative,make this book so outstanding.

A superb history of American liberal arts colleges.
Distinctively America: The Residential Liberal Arts Colleges is a collection of critical and informative essays examining the American liberal arts college as an institution, from its role in the lives of students, to its value as a form of education. The contributors also explore the threats faced by liberal arts colleges, their transformative role (both positive and negative), as well as the impact of information technology. Highly recommended reading for students of the sociology of American education, the relationship of liberal arts colleges to the humanities, as well as American education history and the future of the liberal arts college as an educational institution, Distinctively America is a superb educational history of the American liberal arts colleges from their early disdained reputations in comparison to European schools, to their slow rise to becoming accepted as "world-class" universities.

Dolce & Gabbana's 'Animal' Purrs like a kitten
D&G, as most people in the fashion world refer to the Italian design team of Dolce & Gabbana, show here the diversity within their work 'Animal', purring like a kitten in your lap.

D&G chose two of the best fashion photographers known today, Steven Meisel and Bruce Weber. With their unique talents, the two photographers showcase the designers latest fashions, including the Haute Couture that makes D&G irresistable to so many.

If cutting edge fashion and equally matched photography is something you would enjoy, then 'Animal' is in need of a serious attention. Can you say, "meow, kitty kitty" in Italiano? Dolce & Gabbana sure can.

Both entertaining and educational.
This well-conceived book truly reminds us that political cartooning has held a giant role in our nation's history -- and perhaps more than it has ever been given credit for. The authors make a stong case of cartooning's political vitality, past and present. The book is a very engaging and fun read not only because of its generous use of cartooning, but also because the authors take effort to put each cartoon they use into a fitting historical context. The reader is also on a guided tour of cartooning's historical phases, starting from the 18th century. The authors suggest that some six different phases (eras) of American political cartooning can be traced.

Well, of course it's good, it's Steven Heller.
As a design student, it is very important for me to have an understanding of design history. Heller, being one of the most prominent design writers, has produced many of my favorite books. Thia book not only discusses a period in design history, but is itself designed well. This book covers a fascinating period in Dutch design, and includes many beautiful color images. I have often recommended this book, as well as many others by Heller, to friends, who are also designers. If you find this book enjoyable, I would also recommend similar books by Heller, which cover nearly the same period in other countries. Try out German Modern and French Modern perhaps.

ET
This book was outstanding in my own mind. There was just not anything that turned me off and made put the book down. Yes, this is science fiction and actually loved it, because the characters were described so well. A person may feel as if they really knew or felt that they may be somewhat alike. I personally do not like science fiction but as much as I enjoyed this, I may just change and widen my reading variety. Considering some fairly difficult words I always stuck with and just tried to understand it. Kotzwinkle has put forth an extraudinary piece of literature and should be recommended for interested readers. To be honest with you this book is not easy and is a little long but in the end I promise that you will be feeling something. This has love, tragedy, and is quite suspensful. It is a wonderful book, and I personally recommend to everyone. joe gainer
