This book is ideal for anyone who uses color in the design of publications, as well as for teachers and students of design and the graphic arts. "Eyes on the News" introduces the Color Theory for newspapers and magazines of the third millennium, all based on research conducted with the use of Gallup's EyeTrac equipment to test reader eye movement. Moreover it's an excellent reading.

I want to say that just everythink who is about Familie is Good... Mario Puzo is a good writer.

This book is very interesting! It shows how the Americans supported Flugencio Batista and his government! It also shows how Castro was not trusted by the American Businesses because they didn't feel he wouldn't be good to their profit scheming ways! This is a good book for anyone who is wanting to learn more about Fidel Castro and learn the truth about Flugencio Batista

"Fish in the Water" is a surprisingly honest book and therefore a very interesting autobiography. Split between his childhood and his failed bid for president, Vargas Llosa does more than give a personal chronology of his life: he presents a searing and critical examination of Peruvian society as a whole, from its ongoing political corruption to the complex levels of racism that plague everyone in this nation.

He details his escapades as a Bohemian, where he experimented with cocaine at the age of 14 and became a regular at several brothels. He talks about his first failed marriage and the brutality of his father. And he gives some very personal insights into some of his most famous books, like "The Green House" and "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter." Fans of his novels will find these sections very satisfying.

But also, he provides a detailed account of his three-year run for the Peruvian leadership, in which he was constantly attacked verbally by opposition forces and physically threatened by the opposition's cronies. He talks about his frustration and relief at losing the campaign to Fujimori, a virtual unknown in Peruvian politics. And he even predicts the downfall of Fujimori via Montesinos, who even in 1993 was a notoriously corrupt figure.

Rarely do we get such a clear, firsthand account of the politics in Latin America. This book is a real treat.

"A Fix Like This" is the fourth Mario Balzic mystery by the author known as K. C. Constantine, who has clearly settled on the simple approach that works for these tales of the problems solved by the Chief of Police in the fictional Western Pennsylvania town of Rocksburg. Balzic engages people in conversation. Actually, a lot of people in a lot of conversations, very few of which are actual police interrogations. The impulse to have those in power try to get in Balzic's way as he hunts down the truth has been totally controlled; there are only references to the obnoxious D.A. who was a constant thorn in the first novel and the equally idiotic local State Police lieutenant has retired early on disability. All Balzic has to worry about this time are people who will not talk to him or tell him lies when they do.

Armand "Fat Manny" Manditti has been stabbed repeatedly and is brought into the emergency room by his brother Tullio the Tub. Only his obesity saved Fat Manny from joining the choir of angels, but he refuses to tell Balzic what happened. The chief is suspicious and convinced that Tullio is going to take care of this himself. The Mandittis both work for Dom Muscotti, Manny as a runner and gofer, while Tullio runs Muscotti's dump. Just to make things even worse on the other side of the law in Rocksburg, Dom has been seeing a younger woman on the side and Balzic fears the worst should Mrs. Muscotti learn about what is going on. Meanwhile, Father Marrazo has received some very upsetting news about his good friend Father Sabatine.

Usually while Balzic is having his conversations around town he is trying to figure out who murdered the town's latest victim. But this time around he is trying to prevent at least one murder, probably more depending on whether he can get a break. What makes "A Fix Like This" the best of Constantine's mysteries to date (1975 in this case) is that clear thinking, good intentions, and quick action are not always enough to make things come out right. Fortunately Balzic has some people to talk to, not just when he is trying to find things out but also when he need to talk aloud to figure out how everything fits together.

My only real complaint about the Mario Balzic mysteries is that the title and/or the cover art tend to give too much away. Fortunately I have trained myself to avoid them when I read the book and that one I do not start thinking two far ahead wondering when the second murder will happen at the Rocksburg railroad or when the x-rated film is going to be discovered. But if you started reading this stories because of Stephen King's recommendation at the end of "From a Buick 8" and you have gotten this far, you know there is not reason to stop now. I have been devouring these mysteries at the rate of almost one a day so far this week and will only stop when I find a hole in the local library's collection.

The author did a wonderful job presenting the methods used in analyzing the diaphragms. It is easy to follow, and to apply the procedures to evaluate the behavior of diaphragms. I love the chapters that covers the material selections. If you need to design devices that use diaphragms, this is the best reference you can own.

I am a colleague of the authors' and have used the book in my own work. This book will be welcome to all who appreciate the great achievements of modern biological thought and practice, right along with the conceptual inadequacies and confusions that plague the field. The following are excerpts from various professional reviews:

"The authors have set the standards of biophilosophy" (Eörs Szathmáry, in Trends in Ecology & Evolution).

"Those who have no problems or see none do not need this book. But those who look for help in the partially inconclusive debates over meaning and truth, have much to gain by it" (Gerhard Vollmer, Naturwissenschaften).

Mario Maffi's book is full of useful and easy to read information about the settlement of immigrants in New York City. Unlike many other books on this subject, Maffi does not focus on one immigrant group, rather he intelligently discusses the social context and historical importance of the influx of Italian, Jewish, Chinese, Slavic, African and other races and ethnicities into New York.

The first half of the book is definitely stronger than the second which discusses theater life on the Lower East Side. While my dislike of this section may may be biased, this topic is not reflected in the title and comes as a bit of a suprise.

If you're looking for a comprehensive text about the lives, struggles and social ties of immigrants on the Lower East Side of Manattan, this book is for you.

It also has a comprehensive bibliography and list of archival sources -- a great find for the academic in you!
