Overflowing with information
Arboriculture is a science and art that is made up of many different contributing factors. This book does a very good job of covering them all. Any one of the chapters could be expanded into a book in itself. This thoroughly researched and written book is for the person who wants all of their information in one place. It is a textbook for the technically minded arborist, tree surgeon, tree farmer, or hobbyist. Don't look for this book to be entertaining or philosophical. Instead, buy this book for the knowledge held within. There is a lot to be learned from it. Every single page is filled with facts, figures, methods, and recommendations. You will find yourself reading every page a second or third time in order to catch it all. I refer back to this book on a regular basis, because there is no way I can remember it all. If you have any questions about the management of trees or shrubs, you will likely find it in this book.

The Book
Harris wrote the first edition of this book when trees were "trimmed" by the same people who patched asphalt and repaired park benches. It was a breath of rationality in a field that relied mostly on anecdotal information.

The new edition reinforces this work as the compendium of current thinking about how to care for trees. Clark and Matheny build eloquently on Harris's solid foundation.

The public participates actively in caring for trees and demands to know information found in this book. Why not plant the biggest caliper tree you can find? Can't you do something about the tree roots "breaking" up my sewer? Open the book and show them the brief but definitive answer that is easily found here.

I wish more citizen tree advocates would read this book. For that matter, I wish more arborists would too.

A birder's guide to southeastern arizona
Taylor's updated version is an essential tool for anyone who is not familiar with s.e. arizona, and extremely helpful for those who are. It contains detailed descriptions of birding areas, maps, species to expect at different times of the year, and more. Rick takes you right to the hard-to-find Arizona specialties, as well as all the rest, and does it in an enjoyable manner. This book is fun to read even after leaving Arizona. You will not be disappointed with this one!

Where, what and when. THE book for birding SE Arizona!
This is a great resource for planning and executing a birding expedition to southeast Arizona. Excellent maps, detailed species accounts, and helpful directions and resource listings. This book tells you what specialties to look for at specific locations and when they are most likely to be found there. A great guide for birding southeast Arizona, from roadside birding to backcountry hiking. I especially appreciate the tear out maps of trails and inside cover maps of locations and ecoregions.


Brian Ferneyhough: Collected Writings (Contemporary Music Studies)
Published in Hardcover by Routledge (01 June, 1995)
Authors: James Boros and Richard Toop
Amazon base price: $105.00
Average review score:

rich, complex-yet-illuminating discourse. . .
Ferneyhough's writings are on music are some of the most rich and fascinating ever. This collection, which consists of articles, lectures, analysi, and interviews [which are exquisite!] give us insight into the views of a profound living composer -- with wonderful little brain tingles along the way! It's a shame that the book costs so much [check local university libraries], but I encourage people to get it any way they can. I cannot say enough about the integrity of these writings. . .

Articulate and as lucid as committment to complexity allows
Contemporary Music Studies, Harwood Academic Publishers have done an admirable job in publishing annual seminal works from a wide spectrum of contemporary musical thought,showing no proclivities. From Eisler, Peter Schat,,Bruno Maderna, Pierre Boulez and neglected Charles Koechlin. Here Ferneyhough brings us right to his writing desk and we learn how he constructs his multi-dimensional musical concoctions. Much of it has been material provided elsewhere,but who reads it or can recall its source,from program notes and seminal interviews with Paul Griffiths, James Boros and Richard Toop, those who have followed Mr. Ferneyhough's career, and were there at the birth. Well documented here are the four string Quartet. And since the quartet is, or has been considered as special creative preserve, Ferneyhough's thought is well focused, giving us, rendering his aesthetic battle-plans for each. Some like the Third Quartet was more lucid and facile,greater surface discourse relatively speaking. There are also grist kinds of analysis, of Webern, token objects on the way toward discovery,but analysis frequently point toward the labyrinth of creativity What you value one place is sought after in another. We also extend into a life beyond just placing musical loci, notes on paper, Walter Benjamin is a great inspiration, and Ferneyhough has followed the intellectual currents of Europe, philosophic, and cultural to be able to place his creations within that discourse. He frequently solicits the visual world of painting for an agenda.Also Musical excerpts abound the pages , and the impeccable draftsmanship is a sensuous pleasure a gaze almost pornographic in its seductiveness.

If you're looking for freedom, this is your book!
A wonderful book ~ eye-opening, and freeing! Reading this book helps to change lives in a most amazing way. Recommended to ALL! - especially to those who are sick of religion and church games. If you want the real thing - a deep, fulfilling, intimate relationship with God - this book is for you.

An excellent book with a powerful and freeing message
In an easy to read format, this book exposes some important and often undetected issues which have drastically penetrated into the Christian church, friendships, families and government.

The author does not set out to criticize anyone in this book. Rather, he reveals valuable truths which can set a person free from many behavioral disorders and addictive tendencies and also which can help a person prevent others from falling into the same.

Each chapter is written as a self-contained unit dealing with some aspect of codependent tendencies which we all share. It is written in very clear, concise and understandable English. It is a practical book dealing with real-life issues, not a collection of ineffective theories.

I highly recommend this book! A must-read for every new Christian, as well as for pastors, youth group leaders and anyone involved in ministry. This is one of the most liberating, freeing books you will probably ever read!

Plunges you into chess trivia in a very enjoyable way!
You'll meet some up with some fascinating info including Robert Maxwell and the phoney brilliancy, the Urinal opening, the dream match of Fischer v Kasparov, the horrible fate of Jeffrey Archer, the Beatle who ate the pieces, Gazza's draw against a grandmother, the rudest chess pieces, and the man who was British Ladies Champion. Also a chapter on Nigel Short, Fischer, Judith Polgar, Kasparov, Karpov, and others. Fader & Fader 1987 London

It's a pity ...
... that this book has gone out of print, for it's great fun. Personalities (from Jacob Bronowski to Aleister Crowley), history, records (worst result in a blindfold simul?), chess variants and more. If you can find a used copy of this (or of its predecessor, "The Complete Chess Addict"), grab it!

Wonderful Text, Brilliant Writing
I needed a text to teach an economics class with and searched for weeks with little satisfaction. Then I ran across this under utilized text. The writing is "brilliant" and the authors, especially Mr. Myers seem to have a very firm and realistic grasp of the essential concepts of "Economics"

Outstanding Economics Narrative
This is an outstanding economics textbook. Can be used as a quick primer on what the basics of the field are all about. I believe that the author of this book is a truly remarkable and extraordinary individual and everyone should listen to him closely.

Powerful!!!
This book changed the way I see God. I saw that the "Gospel" of Peace or the "Good News" of Peace is that God has made peace with human beings through His Son. We don't have to be afraid of the one who went to so much trouble to have relationship with us. I loved this book, and it caused me to fall in love with God all over again. Don't miss it!

awesome
This book isn't as normal as it looks--the theology is backwards from what many of us have learned in church, but it is completely consistent with the Bible and really ministers a gospel of PEACE and not of guilt. It has really opened my eyes to what the scriptures really mean. I recommend this to absolutely everybody--it has completely changed the way I see God and my walk with Him. If you have the opportunity to get this book, do it and you'll know why you did in the first chapter. It says what my heart knew but was afraid to say. It's incredible.

Mark Gruhin Chapter Fantastic!
This is an excellent book with an extremely insightful and fascinating chapter written by Mark I. Gruhin. He is a very skilled writer and lawyer, and I look forward to his future writings.

Great Book-Very Interesting....
Being a lawyer in NYC, I was very impressed with some Inside the Minds: Interne Lawyers. Although it is impossible to cover every Internet related topic, the book does a good job at covering some very interesting topics. In addition, the individuals portrayed in the book represent a good cross sampling of different talents related to Internet law. I particularly enjoyed the interview with Mark Fischer at Palmer & Dodge. If you are a woman, make sure to also check out Inside the Minds: Leading Women.

excellent
While not the 1st artist to take on the conceptions of light and its practical uses in art, now Flagstff, AZ. artist James Turrell has brought the perception of light in art to creative and fantastic new levels through his conceptions such as his famous "skyspaces" to "darkspaces," "blue rooms," etc. Many of his pieces offer low light level environments, some almost no light at all, still others brilliant hues of red and blue.

Like most artists, Turrell shies away from giving detailed explinations of his works so that each individual can surmise the piece for themselves. This is not necessarly the case in this work. Turrell wanted, (and did) to build a specific "skyscape" in order to view an eclipse that occurred in England. Like his other "skyscapes," Turrell took the environment and all of its factors, as well as very specific geometry, into account, so that he could construct the perfect medium through which to not just observe the eclipse, but to better magnify the light, or lack thereof, of the eclipse.

The book is a wonderful look at this process, complete with analysis and pictures of the eclipse, the "skyscape," etc. An added bonus is the cd by German composer Paul Schulze, who's approach to his music (a minimalist ambient style, normally) is a perfect match to Turrell's art.

Fans of Turrell, or those who are interested in the interplay between light, our senses, and the reality they both help us create, will find this rather short treatsie to be of invaluable use to them. A wonderfully intriguing work.

Outstanding play with light
James Turrell has long been a major player in the field of light art, and visitors to the Matress Factory museum in Pittsburgh are well aware of his outstanding way of playing with art and images. This amusing meditation on an eclipse is an excellent addition to his body of work
