Great Travel Companion..........2006-06-05
For those of you interested in the praticality of this as a travel companion, trust me, it works. The maps are not enough alone to find buildings in their respective cities but between knowing their general locations and addresses you can easily navigate your way to find them. I carried this book in my pocket around Europe and can say first hand that it was the best travel guide I had. A must for any Architect or student planning on traveling.
So Many Buildings In Such A Little Book.......2006-03-27
When the original Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture was released in My 2004, several reviews were more enticed with the size of the tome in contrast to its contents. Frankly, I was put off by the price tag (albeit well deserved).
However, the recently released Travel Edition of the tome has become one of the essential resources of my library.
First, don't be put off of the fact that the softcover book is referred to as a Travel Edition as it contains a wealth of projects (subdivided by continents then countries). For each project there is a single project photo, project address, and the project architect. With each building a sentence or two states the significance of the project to 'Contemporary World Architecture' (an overly broad subject in itself).
Second, there is a grand diversity to the projects profiled in the Travel Edition in terms of project types and locations. I haven't come across another book to date that offers such a variety of projects within the covers.
Lastly, the Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture Travel Edition provides project insights and narratives that are free of any bias or criticism. The lack of both is something that is rarely found in a subject as subjective as architecture, and is welcomed in this context.
The Atlas suffers from a minor foreseeable problems. The book limits itself to projects that were complete as of the time when the book went to press. Any building completed during its printing or afterwards suffers the fate of being excluded from the Atlas; perhaps it/they will be included in future editions.
Excellent resource for an Excellent Price.......2006-03-21
I think this is a book EVERY architect student should posses as a reference. It contains a large selection of references from all over the world. In comparison to the large version, which is rather costly for a student, this version contains brief descriptions and its a good size. I just wish there was a version on DISK!!!
So many buildings, so little time.......2006-01-30
Superb little book. The only problem is how to see all the buildings in it before you die.
A great little book, esp for European buildings.......2005-12-23
This compact travel guide is a good bet, especially for European buildings. For the US try the latest edition of The Architecture Traveler.

Musician in D&G.......2005-07-21
If you have Hollywood by Dolce & Gabbana, it's very similar. Pictures of musicians from magazines, concerts, and red carpet adorned in D&G. Pictures are ok, a lot of the same artists, however, could use more of a variety.

One of Japan's most popular manga.......2006-12-05
"Dr. Slump" is the kind of comic that is hugely popular in Japan, but not really well-known in the US. Probably because it doesn't fit people's image of what a "manga" is supposed to be. Its more like a newspaper-strip comic, full of short vignettes loaded with sharp jokes and puns. The humor is typically Japanese, full of body functions and naked girls.
Its kind of funny that Viz gives this a "Teen" rating, because "Dr. Slump" is targeted at the Elementary school level in Japan, which really shows the different level of body-comfort between the two societies. Even with the Teen rating, Viz has edited the series, removing most of the sexual references, nudity and alcohol humor.
This first volume sets up the series, with genius inventor Norimaki Senbei showing his skills by creating the perfect humanoid robot, Arale. But she isn't as perfect as he wanted. First off, she has bad vision and has to wear glasses. Second off, she has super strength, which isn't usually standard issue for little girls.
With the basic premise set up, they are off like a shot. A good example of the types of humor you will find is in the first story, when Arale takes a shower at school and notices that the other girls have something she doesn't. She instantly demands one from Senbei, who admits he didn't give her one because he has never seen one before, and didn't know what they look like. Off Senbei goes on a quest to see a naked woman for the first time, so he can perfect his robot girl.
The series is really devastatingly funny. Its too bad that Viz felt the need to edit the series, but I guess that's just the nature of the business. Pick up the first volume and you are going to find yourself hooked.
Funny, goofy and a littie insane........2006-08-29
Befor he created "Dragonball Z", Akira Toriyama did something much different. "Dr. Slump" is a silly comedy where you won't find big strong bruts ponding each other, insted you get a little girl ponding big strong bruts... and loving every minute!
Mad inventor Senbei Norimaki (the "Dr. Slump" of the title) builds a robot girl to show the world how great he is, yet he masquerades her as a real girl. His "Perfect Humanoid Robot" has a few flaws, however. Having
been literally born yesterday, the little robot (named Arale) does not understand the world, and the world just can't understand her! She has very weird ways of having fun (loves to poke poop on the grond!) She is also super strong, and does not know her own strength. The good doctor has his work cut out for him if he whants to keep her from blowing her cover! Also the perverted senbei falls in love with Arale's new teacher, Midori Yamabuki. Can he win her heart?
Being the first book in the series, the art is a little different from later volumes (Arale looks older than she will later). Other than that this is a fun book with Looney Tunes like humer.
Toriyama's Best Series!!!.......2005-08-03
This is where it all started well before the whole world Dragonball was introduced, at the beginning there was Dr. Slump...
A story about a crack scientist, with many personal issues, happens to create a Robot: Arale. The series tells of their slapstick stories as the both cope with learning about their new surroundings (Living with each other and teaching Arale, what to do, etc, the initial stories are very similar to the way Dragonball started, with Goku being clueless and all) in the wacky town of Penguin Village.
The Second Book is just as good as the first and is filled with the wonderful dirty humor that Toriyama is famous for. The central theme of it (Possible Spoiler!!!!) is for Dr. Slump to see a certain woman's panties... How does he do it? You'll have to buy it to find out.
a riot!.......2005-08-02
Dr. Slump is centers around the adventures of Arale Norimaki, an extremely intelligent robot girl with superstrength created by idiotic inventor Dr. Senbei Norimaki, who continually pumps out strange inventions such as the Time Slipper(a time travelling device), Ponpoko Ray Gun (that transforms objects into whatever), Reality Machine (put a picture in the machine, and the machine makes it real!) that fuels Arale's tendency to get in trouble. Dr. Slump is basically a funny book with slapstick, sexual, and cartoon humor. The book is NEVER serious, but take my word for it; you'll love this book! There's 37 novels to collect, however.
Cute cartoon manga from the creator of "Dragon Ball".......2005-07-11
"Dr. Slump" is a collection of comic book gag stories about a slew of eccentric characters including a brilliant scientist with a severe case of arrested development (Dr. Norimaki, aka "Dr. Slump"), the mischievous, super-powered robot girl he invents (Arale), her junior high school classmates, and a host of neighbors and locals. This first volume involves Arale's attempts to fit in at school (or, rather, get her classmates to fit in with HER) and figure out her place in Dr. Norimaki's chaotic household and the larger world. Several of the stories revolve around new gadgets invented by Dr. N, including a ray gun that can make things large or small, a time machine that takes them all back to a prehistoric age of dinosaurs and cavemen, and a camera that can take pictures of people as they'll look in the future. One story involves Arale switching places with classmate Akane, with each one dressing up like the other. All the stories are funny and charming and a delight to read.
The closest equivalent to an American comic of this type would be the old Harvey Comics characters of the Baby Huey, Little Lotta and Casper the Friendly Ghost variety, or maybe the Sabrina series from Archie Comics. "Dr. Slump" is a little more wickedly imaginative and has a harder-edged sense of humor, including various sexual references that will be funny to adolescent and teen readers but will probably (hopefully) go over the heads of younger readers--who should not be deprived of the opportunity to read this, especially if they already have an interest in anime and manga.
"Dr. Slump" was first published in 1980 and has finally arrived in English thanks to the extraordinary popularity of "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon Ball Z," two later series by Slump's creator, Akira Toriyama. Like DB and DBZ, "Dr. Slump" was adapted into an animated TV series (1981-86), but has yet to be shown in the U.S. Aside from a cameo appearance by Arale in the third Dragon Ball movie, MYSTICAL ADVENTURE, the only glimpse American viewers previously had of any of the Slump characters in animated form was in the "Dragon Ball" animated TV series in episodes 54-57 (found on DB Volume 20: "General Blue: Lost in Penguin Village"), where Goku pays a visit to Penguin Village and the Dr. Slump universe.
I own a tape of "Megapolis the Dream City" (1985), a 38-minute Dr. Slump animated movie (in Japanese with no English subtitles) and while I missed a lot because of the lack of translation, I still enjoyed its visual imagination, slapstick humor, and abundance of movie references. Let's hope that the manga proves successful enough to induce an adventurous distributor to release the "Dr. Slump" anime TV series and movies in English as well.

Appealing.......2006-04-08
This small book is very appealing for youngsters from, say, age 4 to 12. The older kids can read it to the younger ones. There are about 25 words per page. It's a board book, which makes it sturdy. It will survive lots of young hands handling it. Good gift for a Sunday school class.
Book Description
The music of Frank Sinatra, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and many other artists provides the score to the reflections of a musician on the road in this memoir of Neil Peart's travels from Los Angeles to Big Bend National Park. The emotional associations and stories behind each album Peart plays guide his recollections of his childhood on Lake Ontario, the first bands that he performed with, and his travels with the band Rush. The evocative and resonant writing vividly captures the meanderings of a musical mind, leading rock enthusiasts to discover inside information about Rush and the musical inspirations of a rock legend.
Customer Reviews:
Indispensible for the Rush Fan or Musician.......2007-08-13
After having read all of Neil Peart's drumming and travel-related books, I have to say that this is my favorite. The book is divided into two main (but interspersed) sections. One deals with a particular car trip Peart took in 2002-03 and his thoughts on the music he chose to provide the soundtrack to this journey. It quickly became clear that Neil's tastes are a lot more diverse than my own (his include Madonna, Sinatra, and Linkin Park), and I had a tough time relating to this portion of the book -- although Peart's reflections on the industry were quite engaging.
The other half of the book details the influence of music on Peart's life from childhood, right up through shortly after he joined Rush. It is almost a partial autobiography, and if you are interested in a previously-undetailed account of the drummer's early career, you will find this portion of the book priceless.
If you are a Rush fan who found himself partly put off by the tone of some of Peart's other books (specifically "Roadshow"), I would still recommend giving this book a try. This is one of the industry's best sticking to two subjects he knows better than most -- music and drumming.
Disguised As a "Travel Book".......2007-08-04
This book is by far the best book Neil Peart has written. This book is more biographical, in a very musical sense, than a travel book. What I mean by this is that Neil writes about his travels to the Big Bend area in South West Texas, several excursions he took while on that trip, such as a bird watching tour, and a hike up Emory Peak, etc. But the bulk of the content in this work is about his life and how certain songs, musicians, and bands have affected his life.
Neil details his early childhood, how his father's music was something he ignored as a child but embraced it as his own later in life. Moreover, he describes how he eventually took up drumming, his earliest bands in his own hometown, and how he progressed as a drummer from childhood to the last current tour, Vapor Trails, at the time this book was published. He describes certain details from various bands he "passed through" for a certain time, his experiences in London, England as a young adult, and how touring with Rush and playing a typical 76 or so show stopping tour affected him; all these details are great, and make the book that much more interesting.
However, the underlining greatness of this work, I think anyway, is Neil's descriptions of the music he is listening to throughout all these other details mentioned above. The way Neil describes how his "radar music" or his play list that is contained in the back of his mind resurfaces on occasion is the most interesting aspect of this work, since this is where Neil gets more personal opening himself up more than merely describing events. He details songs like they are personal parts of his life, exposing these parts with a serious vulnerability that is quite opposite to his personality, which is introverted and a bit hidden.
What happens when you read Neil's descriptions of bands and their songs, is that you will find yourself searching for these bands, if you have not listened to them before, and sampling them for possible purchases. At least I found myself doing this. He should get paid for promoting these bands, since several of them gained a new listener and buyer of their music. All this being said, this is an excellent book, especially if you are a music lover, it is well worth the price, and if you are a Rush fan, then this book is a must to take a peak inside the life, mind, musical taste and musical influences of one of the greatest drummers in rock and roll history, I highly recommend this book.
So anyway...........2007-01-25
I find it particularly amusing that - not having read ANY of Neil Peart's works - that I would have such a strong opinion on something he wrote. I have been INTO Rush since Fly By Night, an album I bought new and nearly wore off the turntable. I was 14 at the time. No band, before or since had the effect on me that Rush had. I just HAD to learn to play bass BETTER than before. The bar was put THAT HIGH...
However, (and now we come to the somber part...) I don't even have to read this (or any other) book by Neil Peart - nor anyone in Rush - to know that these guys have LOST IT..... I mean, actually having DISDAIN for the fans that admire and adore the music you make, and that has made you FAMOUS?? How absolutely WRETCHED a person must you be? And you can tell by the interviews I've heard them give that they totally DON'T GET IT.... They have actually put themselves so high on pedestals that they don't realize that their music S**KS. I am totally not surprised to hear that people like Neil Peart have nothing good to say to fans that want to praise him and pay homage. This is, after all ,the ultimate form of dishonor. It must suit him and the other guys to a "T".
Especially when you consider the absolutely LOUSY excuse for music it is that they spew today. Last album I nearly broke my eardrums listening to - "Vapor Trails". All you have to do is listen to a few seconds of the opening tracks and you go, "WHO IS THIS??" This is certainly not a band deserving of calling themselves "Rush". Not in my wildest imagination anyway.
One could imagine that losing a wife and daughter could make somoeone wanna jump off a bridge or something, but this is a man who has enough money and resources at his disposal to FIND A WAY to get some help. Sounds like, unfortunately, that the therapy didn't make him a better person. Still a complete lack of humility, according to these reviews. What a shame. Some people just never get it, do they?
Just think of how un-self indulgent Neil Peart would get to be if he weren't a "star" and no one would even know who he was....hmm.... No one - outside of Rush fans - would even know who he is nor care. Therefore, all this book-writing would be completely in vain.
Music is the Message.......2006-11-19
Many of the reviews I've read regarding Neil Peart's "Traveling Music" treatise seem to focus on either a) his seeming arrogance at not wanting to have regular interactions with fans, or b) a seeming lack of eloquence in this work. I think those reviews are missing a vital element here.
To be sure, Mr. Peart is not Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Steinbeck or any of the countless other revered novelists in history. I'm also pretty sure that he doesn't want to be any of them. I also don't think that people should hold him in low regard because he is so shy. No, I think the focus here should be on the central message of his book: That, whatever the genre...rock, country, jazz, classical...music helps us to understand the textures and feelings that pervade us as we live and breathe in this world. No matter what your mood, there is a song out there to describe it. No matter how fond your memories, there is a song out there that can engage those memories as if they just happened.
Mr. Peart probably shares more than he needs to about his shyness with people. I will never be famous, but I know that many famous people are far more animated about having their space invaded. Note that he is also very uncomfortable lying about who he is when "outed" by someone. It's clearly a difficult thing for him, and I admire his honesty and courage in how he addresses it, so give him his space, and give him a break.
Focus on the notion that music is the message here. The wonderful diversity that it provides us, and the many emotions and themes it elicits, whenever we plug in and listen.
Top 500 Drummer of All-Time.......2006-10-17
Not the God, but a god ... lowercase g. I would have to say he is the god of drumming. He's easily in my top 500 list of all-time drummer. He's somewhere between the drummer from Dexy's Midnight Runners whose name I cannot recall and the original Chris on The Partridge Family ... a/k/a "The Ugly Chris."
If you like your books written by someone who has a hard time writing coherently, then you are going to LOVE this book. I have a theory that Mr. Peart typed this book by using his drumsticks on the typewriter. Which goes to show that he's not as coordinated as he would have us believe. Be careful, Mr. Peart or you're going to find yourself off of my top 500 drummers list and on my Bottom 500 Typists List! LOL.
Just kidding Neal, Rush is as vibrant and vital today as it as ever been and just because young people don;t listen to it and it's not on the radio anymore does not mean that the music isn't still not great.
Book Description
Love has a way of making you sing. Songs like "I Only Have Eyes for You," "Stand by Your Man," "Love Me Tender," and "Livin' on a Prayer" come to mind. Three thousand years ago, King Solomon of Israel was inspired by his bride to write a love song. He considered it a masterpiece, and it is simply known as the Song of Solomon. The song is filled with passionate and insightful principles for relationships.
In today's changing culture, relationships can be incredibly challenging. That Crazy Little Thing Called Love provides relevant and encouraging reminders of God's plan for married living from the Song of Solomon. And, besides all that, it's just plain fun! The soundtrack of That Crazy Little Thing Called Love is divided into five playlists:
* Love is a crazy thing
* Thriving after "I do"
* Sex in marriage
* Fighting fair
* Making love last

Book Description
Newcomers as well as followers of the progressive rock band Rush will appreciate this fond and humorous parody of the times and travels of their famous drummer and lyricist Neil Peart.
Once a great and intrepid chronicler of his world travels, drummer Francis DiPietro is reduced to cramming his new book into the week his lovely young wife (half his age) goes on vacation to pamper herself at his expense.
Uprooted from his Canadian home in order to follow his wife's wishes, our drummer yearns to recapture the creative voice and vision which was his second nature in years past.
As he attempts to make the round-trip driving journey from the coast of California to a national park in Texas within his meager seven-day time allotment, DiPietro strives to reconcile his promising past with his uncertain future and dispel the fears which gnaw at his brain.
Aging, rueful of his diminishing prowess, he strikes up a bold friendship with a bizarre drifter whose lifestyle holds the key to a freedom he has lost.

Book Description
"...Music brightened the daytime and made me feel glad, And made the nights shorter when tough times got bad..."
I thought about the words I had written in a poem; and that's how the book was born. Then, my soundtracks, snippets of more than six hundred songs from my lifetime were recorded chronologically onto tape. In listening to the music, hearing the songs over and over again, the recollections began to flow; and my memoir, Soundtracks Of A Life, was penned. Music enhances memory because of the emotional attachments we make with a song. Yes, a song will take you there, conjuring up vivid images of time and place. Included between the chapters are stories submitted by celebrities you know, such as Quincy Jones, Doris Day, Bruce Jenner, Arnold Palmer, and others. Some storytellers will be strangers to you. One thing, however, is certain; you'll know many of their soundtracks.

This book will take you there!!!.......2001-05-14
As I read through the memoirs of this brilliant author I was reminded of many songs that had significance in my life. I found her story very compelling and the snippets added by celebrities such as Quincy Jones very interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes music, and loves life.
