no pictures.......2003-05-27
I was expecting alot o clearf pictures of his works, and got none. If a text book is what you are looking for, I recomend it but since I wanted mostly pictures, I was very much dissapointed.
Book Description
Functional Pottery, the best-selling pottery reference first published in 1986, has been extensively revised and updated to include more than 250 color photos as well as hundreds of black and white photos and illustrations. Covering historical as well as contemporary pottery, this acclaimed and inspirational book presents both philosophical and practical experiences from the 43-year pottery-making career of Robin Hopper, one of North America's most recognized ceramic artists.
Perusing this book is like having a ceramic museum, art gallery, encyclopedia, and master potter at hand, teaching and inspiring at the same time. Beginning with a view of the historical development of pottery, the book presents a wide discussion on the aesthetics of form and design. Also addressed are the mechanics of making and the practical solutions to functional design in pots for eating, drinking, storage, pouring, cooking, serving, and pots for rituals and contemplation. The recent work and short biographies of 16 internationally recognized ceramic artists are showcased in the Portfolio section.
Customer Reviews:
Functional Pottery; Form and Aesthetic in Pots of Purpose.......2000-07-04
I found Functional Pottery to be a pleasant surprise for the most part, although I was mildly disappointed by the more practical sections of the book. Roughly the first half of the book provides an interesting historical and cultural review of functional pottery, which went beyond what I had anticipated from the title and general description. A portion of the second half of the book focused on the mechanics of particular forms of functional pottery. This portion, which was my particular interest in buying the book, was a little less thorough and extensive than I had hoped. For the beginner/intermediate potter specifically interested in practical advice and detail regarding the mechanics of functional pottery forms, the material in the book, while useful, may not go far enough. I recommend this book as a general overview, keeping in mind that the scope of the book covers a broader range of topics than implied by its title, and that only sixty pages of the book are dedicated to the practical considerations and mechanics of designing and creating functional pottery.
For potters concerned about form and function.......2000-07-04
This book is an excellent addition to my collection of pottery books. This book deals with the more technical side of pottery. This book is for people who have accomplished throwing but want to take it to the next level. The book covers everyhting from history of pottery, to correct proportions, and also has artist bio's. Excellent book, i rate it 12 out of 10.

Great card to help an OpenOffice.org newbie.......2007-03-31
Although I had been told that OpenOffice.org was very similar to MS Word, I was still having some problems finding common commands. After using this card and reading the easy-to-follow instructions, I was able to find the commands I needed to do the same things in OpenOffice.org that I used to do in Word. Awesome reference!
Book Description
Meeting instructors' needs for "a shorter Zettl," this text distills video basics so that they can be covered in a single semester. The book moves students from video concepts and processes to production tools and techniques, and finally, to the production environment (studio or field, inside or outside) and how it affects what is done.
Customer Reviews:
A Great Start.......2006-03-02
This book is a must for anyone getting into video production. Full of basic information that is conveyed in an intuitive and concise way, plus there is plenty of advanced knowledge to keep you referring back for years to come. Definitely a staple for all video people.
Very Good.......2004-01-24
My boss told me to buy this book, and it is one of the best available book.
great book!!.......2002-08-09
i am an electronic media communications major and this book has been used for a number of years in my school's communications program. video basics 3 has everything you need to know and everything is explained in much detail, yet not too complicated. there are great illustrations throughout the book that are very helpful as well.
i bought this book used from my campus bookstore and i gotta wonder, why would someone return this book at the end of the semester? i still have mine and have re-read it through quite a few times, most definately something worth holding on to!
Superlative.......2002-04-24
This book gives a broad overview of the field of video. It is intended as a textbook for students in a university video course, however, the information that it contains will be valuable for anyone interested in improving their video skills, especially in professional contexts. Since the book is a textbook, each chapter begins with a list of key terms and definitions, and key concepts are highlighted in the text and repeated at the end of the chapter. Each chapter also contains instructions for a lesson in Zettl's Video Lab on CD (not included). The book covers many topics related to professional video production, including the video production process, the video team, video cameras, lighting, sound, editing, and the studio. I found the language to be very straightforward and highly informative.
Bad Copies.......2002-01-30
My copy of the book did not have chapters 3 and 4. I had a chapters 1 and 2 repeated. Check your copy of the book.

Book Description
Crusaders, Scoundrels, Journalists traces the lives and times of nearly 300 American newspeople, from the colonial printer who wrote about the sex life of the king of France to the Global Village anchor who as a young man stood up dates in order to listen to Edward R. Murrow.
Great journalism has a rich past. So does lousy journalism. This entertaining book introduces readers to the inside story of news, as told by journalistic sleuths and sloths, martyrs and moguls, First Amendment heroes and notorious scandalmongers.
Hear them talk about how and why they do what they do:
"Telegraph fully all news...and when there is no news send rumors."
--Wilbur Storey
"If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough."
--Robert Capa
"Even more than the words, the way the words are said colors the telling."
--Susan Stamberg
"You just use pictures when you have them and words when you don't."
--David Brinkley
"There were virtually no Negro role models in communications in 1946... So what was I doing on this journey?"
--Carl Rowan
"I didn't wave the flag and
didn't burn my bra. I just kept on working and stayed close to women on and off the camera."
--Barbara Walters
"We are better off showing people everything instead of managing what people see."
--Brian Lamb
"Journalism is actually the last unexplored literary frontier."
--Truman Capote
With the help of some of the nation's leading journalism historians, Crusaders, Scoundrels, Journalists profiles intriguing American newspeople from the 1690s to the 1990s. What we love and hate about them is what we love and hate about our culture. Knowing them and where they've been is a first step toward better understanding where we are today. The Newseum and The Freedom Forum
The Newseum, the only interactive museum of news, opened in April 1997 to popular and critical acclaim. The 72,000-square-foot Newseum is the largest operating program of The Freedom Forum, a nonpartisan, international foundation dedicated to free press, free speech, and free spirit for all people. Other operating programs are the Media Studies Center in New York City and the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. The Freedom Forum was established in 1991 under the direction of founder Allen H. Neuharth as successor to the Gannett Foundation. That foundation had been established by Frank E. Gannett in 1935.

Where's Charles Kuralt?.......2000-01-18
I was in bliss, paging through these journalism greats when I suddenly realized the author left out Charles Kuralt. As a journalism student, I'd so much rather read about beloved people like Kuralt than 15-minutes of famers like Matt Drudge. The authors even included his replacement, Charles Osgood. What gives, editors? Shunning him because of his affair?
Perfect for teaching journalism, history, media, criticism.......1999-06-13
I've been lucky enough to see the uncorrected proof of this work: It's excellent -- by the editor of the Newseum, a truly amazing news museum in the DC area -- his previous work, The News History Gazette, is used by professors in some of the best journalism schools in the country, like Missouri. Includes great essay by Tim Russert. Loads of "corrected history," and "did you know."

Book Description
Dux Schneider was drawn to mountains, and he recognized that in a rapidly modernising country the traditional life of mountain peoples would undergo inevitable and irreversible change. His trek through the Bolkar range was a dream come true, the culmination of his Turkish explorations. He got there before television and mobile phones, when the Y?r?k nomads and Tahtac?s were still a people apart. This book is a rare picture of that time, place and people, a valuable cultural record that's as insightful as it is entertaining. -Tom Brosnahan
