Book Description
Ambassador Richard Swett's groundbreaking new book investigates the unique civic leadership strengths of the architecture profession. Drawing upon the compelling history of the profession, both past and present, as well as from his own singular experience as the only architect to serve in Congress during the 20th century, Swett has produced an insightful volume that is both inspiring and instructive. He shares Mark Twain's view that "if the only tool you have is a hammer, after a while every problem begins to look like a nail." Leadership by Design is an eloquent plea to architects, leaders and citizens alike to expand the tool chest as we seek new leadership to design new solutions for the complex challenges facing our nation and the world.

This book is a veritable eye-opener.......2005-04-30
This is a wonderful, arresting book whose title immediately caught my eye. As someone who studied in Florence and received an MA in art history, I had been aware of the connection
between architecture, politics, and civic engagement. But I had abandoned the field for journalism, having found many of my colleagues to be hopelessly elitist and out of touch with the
reality of most people's lives. Leadership by Design, to my surprise and delight, not only addresses the disconnect between architects and the rest of us, but puts it in a historical context that allows us to see how architects were once vitally involved in politics (resisting slavery,fighting poverty, supporting civil rights) - and how they can regain their stature both as leaders and artists in an age that cries out for honesty and trust. Richard Swett writes convincingly because his professional life has been the embodiment of the architect-public servant. He was not only the only architect to have served in the U.S. Congress in the 20th century, but he also served abroad as a U.S. Ambassador. "I became painfully aware," he writes, "not only how underrepresented my profession was in the political arena but also of how dysfunctional the political environment on Capital Hill had become. There was little comity between the political parties and even less desire to cooperate during political negotiations....Both the world of
architecture and the world of politics, though inextricably intertwined, were suffering the effects
of disengagement from each other in the decision-making processes that affects both worlds."Swett gives architects, and for that matter, all of us, a road-map out of the quagmire, so
we can become more involved in our communities and more aware of the role architecture can play in improving our surroundings. I highly recommend it.
Nexus of Design, Leadership and Policy.......2005-04-01
Ambassador Swett has taken his experience as a designer-leader, and delivered a magnificent volume that tells stories and shares visions. This book should be the launching point for any designer who aspires toward leadership in the public or professional realm. It is the most relevant book exploring the public role of the architect I have read, and will prove to be a thought provoking source of revelation for non-designers.

Great, but not for novices!!.......2002-01-12
This is a really good book for the most part. The photos are great as are the drawings. It goes into strong detail about how the pieces are created. The artist bios are interesting as well.
This book is NOT for novices however. One would want to take atleast a couple college level jewelry classes (I'd suggest three) before trying out some of these designs. I'd also suggest working with less expensive materials (silver and copper) instead of gold. The instructions weren't quite as clear as I would have hoped, but once again they are geared towards professionals (or atleast someone with like knowledge).
Other than that, the book is quite good. I would suggest everyone to have this in their jewelry library.
Not what I was expecting... with some perks.......2001-04-04
As a beginning jewelry designer, I have been looking for books that explain technique and show examples of work. After reading others' review, this seemed like the perfect match for me. While this book is a showcase for "famous" jewelry designers, it didn't have the guts I was looking for. Bios and pictures of artists are nice to look at, but don't teach me anything about style and creation.
What WAS helpful was the step by step description of how the pieces were made, and drawn diagrams of how the pieces featured were put together. Also, there was a picture and description of use for more jewelrs tools than I knew existed. These sections made purchasing the book worthwhile.
Very helpful and insightful........2000-11-07
This is a great book for anyone interesed in the art of making jewelry. Lots of great tips are included, and it's written in a very easy-to-read and follow fashion.

A rare find and a constant companion.......2000-09-03
I bought Alan Revere's "The Art of Jewelry Making : Classic & Original Designs" to augment my study in jewelry design and fabrication. In it, Alan presents 25 highly accomplished jewelry artists, and detailed instructions to recreate signature projects from each artist. The book is filled with vibrant photographs and introduces readers to some of the biggest names in the business. So inspired by Michael Sugarman's 'Boulder Bracelet' on page 57, I designed and constructed an original bracelet of my own utilizing key concepts I learned from the book. Learning so many different techniques from a single volume makes this book a rare find and a constant companion through my studies.
Book Description
Photography has transformed the way we picture ourselves. Although photographs seem to "prove" our existence at a given point in time, they also demonstrate the impossibility of framing our multiple and fragmented selves. As Linda Haverty Rugg convincingly shows, photography's double take on self-image mirrors the concerns of autobiographers, who see the self as simultaneously divided (in observing/being) and unified by the autobiographical act.
Rugg tracks photography's impact on the formation of self-image through the study of four literary autobiographers concerned with the transformative power of photography. Obsessed with self-image, Mark Twain and August Strindberg both attempted (unsuccessfully) to integrate photographs into their autobiographies. While Twain encouraged photographers, he was wary of fakery and kept a fierce watch on the distribution of his photographic image. Strindberg, believing that photographs had occult power, preferred to photograph himself.
Because of their experiences under National Socialism, Walter Benjamin and Christa Wolf feared the dangerously objectifying power of photographs and omitted them from their autobiographical writings. Yet Benjamin used them in his photographic conception of history, which had its testing ground in his often-ignored Berliner Kindheit um 1900. And Christa Wolf's narrator in Patterns of Childhood attempts to reclaim her childhood from the Nazis by reconstructing mental images of lost family photographs.
Confronted with multiple and conflicting images of themselves, all four of these writers are torn between the knowledge that texts, photographs, and indeed selves are haunted by undecidability and the desire for the returned glance of a single self.

Doesn't Sink Like A Rock But Doesn't Swim Either.......2007-05-24
Sgt. Rock: Between Hell and a Hard Place is a passable graphic novel authored by Brian Azzarello and drawn by Joe Kubert.
Azzarello's writing is solid but doesn't give enough historical flavor. Garth Ennis' Enemy Ace: War In Heaven plunges the reader into the Second World War with memorable characters, fascinating facts and actual events. Azzarello's writing captures the cadence and lingo of the War but doesn't go far enough.
The plot here is interesting but ends disappointingly.
Joe Kubert's art is very good but not his best work. Joe is around 70 years old so I'm sure age has affected his art somewhat. His work is still pretty great but I'm spoiled by the classic Joe Kubert art.
This book will satisfy hardcore fans but let down casual buyers.
Kubert's Rock.......2006-05-13
Artist Joe Kubert doing Sgt Rock again...for most fans of the original Rock of Easy Company, that is all you need to say. And Between Hell and a hard place, it is a graphic delight.
War comics were a staple of DC and Marvels comic line (Rock, Haunted Tank, The Losers, Unknown Soldier for DC, Sgt Fury for Marvel)in the 1960-1990's. Then suddenly they (like the Westerns genre) vanished from the comic lines-to be overtaken by the Superheroes with their Crisis's, Secret Wars and now their Civil Wars
With writing talent of Brian Azzarello (from the comic 100 Bullets) and Kubert at the pen, This taut graphic novels is both a tribute to the DC war line and a great visual tale. It is also like it harkens back to the days of Bob Kanigher (writer) and Kubert (inks) in the orginal Our Army at War books.
It is a war story with a mystery thrown in and it works on many levels
If you haven't read Sgt Rock before, dont worry...you wont be lost-Azzarello reintroducers the reader to Rock and his Easy Company. The art seems almost like a movie flying outta the books. This isn't a KID's comic book, it is WAR with all the dirt and grit. It is not pretty, but it is great storytelling
Bennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD
Very good. Recomended........2006-02-25
It's not Kubert's best work, but it is still very funny. Although its a little bit like a rough, crude drawing, it fits this book very well. And what can I say about Azzarello's writing? He does a great job with this mistery war tale.
Awsome comic.......2006-02-25
A must have for any SGT. Rock fan, or anyone who is crazy about WW2.
OK Story, Weak Art..........2005-02-14
I've never seen a "Sgt. Rock" comic previous to this, but I am a casual fan of graphic novels and have a casual interest in World War II, so I figured it was worth checking out. After spending an hour reading it cover to cover, I have to admit to a certain level of disappointment. Azarello, whose writing I've liked in the "100 Bullets" series, has come up with a generally compelling story. Sgt. Rock's "Easy Company" is in the Hurtgen Forest (near the German/Belgian border) in late 1944, where the largely routed German Army was able to mount a surprisingly stiff resistance. Down to its core membership, the company has greenhorn replacement soldiers foisted upon it, much to Rock's displeasure. The storyline involves the capture of four SS officers, three of whom are murdered while being escorted back to headquarters. This sets up some tension among the company, since it's not clear who killed them, and some of the soldiers are of the opinion it was murder (since their hands were bound), and others don't. Meanwhile, there's a town that needs taking...
This is all well and fine, but I just didn't find Kubert's art that compelling. Since he set the standard for the "Sgt. Rock" look, he obviously answers to no one when it comes to how the story should look. However, I found both the composition and coloring very weak. I suppose his style is best described as "classic", but I find it far too simplistic and lacking in detail and texture. Everything's very flat, and the washed-out color palate doesn't help. A story set in the Hurtgen ought to be dark, gloomy, scary (the characters even talk about how dark and hard to see it is), but everything is colored in really light shades and looks like it's been lit up with spotlights. Kubert's working in a very restrained paneling system, which is fine, but it really puts the onus on the composition, and most of these are dull as ditchwater. There are probably around 750 panels in the book, and only about 15-20 really arrest one's attention.
If this sounds a little harsh, well, it may be that the standard for depicting World War II combat has gotten very high. "Saving Private Ryan" started the ball rolling, and then there was "The Thin Red Line" and then the truly amazing "Band of Brothers" series. Each of these had their cheezy moments, but "Band of Brothers" especially showed that there was no glory to be won in war, and showed the fighting in the German forests in a much more evocative manner. Granted, it's unfair to compare different mediums, but the truth is that "Band of Brothers" hits you in the gut with its grittiness and this doesn't. Those looking for a for a very good novel on the same material should check out Twilight Zone maestro Richard Matheson's early novel, "The Beardless Warriors", which follows a raw recruit for two weeks as his unit pushes through the German woods.

Rock Steady........2006-01-23
I came of age during the 1960s, when the foreboding
glare of the previous decade's McCarthyism gave way
to both the hope of a new day's tolerance, and the
despair that Peace and Justice didn't come all at
once.
Vietnam was a deadly cancer of that despair, but
that misguided conflict was but a terrible symptom
of the larger conflict waged within our hearts
between ethical clarity and convenient viewpoints.
The names may be different from Nixon, Faubus,
Falwell and Hoover, and many of the places are a
distance from Southeast Asia, but make no mistake:
That conflict, as old as Creation, still wages as
hotly today within and without our minds and our
souls.
What, you may ask, does all this have to do with
a fresh tale about an Army Sergeant from World
War II? In the vertigo of 1960s comics, much fuss
was stirred over a war comic at Marvel, about a
bunch of superheroes in khakis who whooped it up
whenever they went into battle. Interesting band
that SGT. FURY AND HIS HOWLING COMMNADOS
were, they never quite came across as soldiers.
Even when the element of Death was introduced
into their narrative, it always came across as
an afterthought for the sake of plot, never as
the grim, steady product that War is so efficient
at producing.
A purely 1960s production, SGT. FURY would
be eclipsed by the looming landscape of
the very real, highly traumatic real-life
subject painting a deadlier drama on the
day's nightly news than anything the Howlers
breezed through.
Over at DC, however, War was depicted as the
nasty business that it has always been. No flag-
waving propaganda machine here, the War comics
which came from DC (ENEMY ACE, THE LOSERS, OUR
FIGHTING FORCES, etc.) always depicted the blunt
& ugly reality of what a dirty business War
is, and how the only good of War is in its
ending.
The tales of SGT. ROCK and EASY CO. rank as
pinnacles of this genre, its original tales by
author Robert Kanigher and illustrator Joe Kubert
a worthy complement to the 1940s chronicles of
master cartoonist Bill Maudlin, and his tireless
reporting of what was happening with ordinary
Joes sweating it out on the Front.
Laughter in the midst of despair, courage in the
crucibles of white-hot fear, compassion delivered
in tension-filled moments between blood to be
spilled and turf to be held. All this and more
spell the exploits of EASY CO. and its battle-
tested non-com; getting it done in the hope that,
maybe, they'll live to get home.
This is the powerful heart that beats through
BETWEEN HELL AND A HARD PLACE, the gripping
DC/Vertigo Sequential Novel which places ROCK
and EASY in the thick of even deeper conflict,
with burning questions about prisoner abuse and
combat honor which are as pertinent in days of
holy terror and oil-pimping as it was in the
days of "good wars".
Acclaimed Vertigo Editor Karen Berger brought
the legendary Joe Kubert aboard for a new project
on SGT. ROCK, some 45 years after co-creating
the character! It was Kubert who suggested a
hardcover graphic novel, as well as the choice
of Brian Azzarello to write this chronicle.
Kubert couldn't have picked a more versatile author
to upgrade the gritty exploits of EASY. Widely
renowned for his award-winning film noir-rooted
crime drama, 100 BULLETS, Azzarello is as at home
writing about the cosmos-spanning derring-do of
SUPERMAN as he is denoting the driven manipulations
of LEX LUTHOR, or spinning the gangbanging urban
blight confronted by LUKE CAGE.
Anyone thinking that Azzarello's work with recognized
characters is a sell-out, a watering-down of his edgy
style needs to stop looking for trends to proclaim or
fall into, and read the man's work. All of it.
Kubert, one of the giants of Sequential literature,
displays the depth of his finely-chiseled pictorals
in his return to one of his most famous characters.
In the years since his last SGT. ROCK tale, the
creator of TOR, co-creator of WWI's RITTMEISTER
von HAMMER,and acclaimed interpreter of HAWKMAN
and TARZAN established a world-renowned school
for Cartoon and Graphic Art, conceived two
exceptional books on the horrors of Hate and
shapings of War (FAX FROM SARAJEVO and YOSSEL:
APRIL 19, 1943 ), and has witnessed two of his
children grow up to master the Sequential field
for which he has given so much over the long
decades.
Each man brandishes the full dynamic range of their
expressive wizardry to conceive a tough-minded,
heart-gripping tale of conflict, the camaraderie it
breeds, the wariness always at one's shoulder, and
the awful shock of what one moment can tear asunder.
Films such as Spielberg's SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and
Samuel Fuller's THE BIG RED ONE are aptly reflected
in this saga's earthy dialogue and sharp intrigues,
but BETWEEN HELL AND A HARD PLACE is far more than a
mirror of post-WWII cinematic recollection.
In BETWEEN HELL AND A HARD PLACE, we bear witness
to the communicative power that this idiom can command.
For longtime readers, you will see familiar
characters dealing with familiar horrors as never
before. For new readers, a more honest depiction of
conflict is at your grasp.
When a casual conversation takes place amidst a
freshly-discovered mine field, we lose the privilege
of taking any moment for granted. In an explosive
outburst of temper, we feel the madness that sane
people must court in surmounting insane situations.
In a pivotal exchange between a haughty aristocrat
and a weather-beaten grunt, a captured woman's
fate projects the true folly and utter pointlessness
of War as a bearer of Truth.
The only Truth about War, whether for the warrior,
the conquered, or the pacifist, is that it's raw
Hell. Once more, the exploits of EASY CO. bring
this brutal Truth home with rock-steady clarity.
If the earliest signs on Kubert's 2006 project,
SGT. ROCK: THE PROPHECY, are any indication,
the clarity which distinguished BETWEEN HELL
AND A HARD PLACE will become even more
dangerously crystal-clear.
For a world too often befuddled by peril
cloaked in comfortable catch-phrases, economic
spin doctoring, and murderously comforting
prejudices, such clarity has never been more
desperately needed than right now.
classic sgt rock.......2004-05-31
I used to love comics like sgt. rock and g.i. combat as a kid, and this hardcover novel really brought me back. A great story, great art, it had me holding my breath like i was a kid again! I wish they would do a graphic novel like this for the unknown soldier, jeb stuart, all of the old war comic greats...
Don't listen to that other guy.......2004-04-15
Simply put, if you love the art form and are a fan of movies like Kelly's Heroes, The Dirty Dozen, and especially recent outings like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, this is for you.
The art is great, as should be expected from a true master such as Kubert. Comparing this to his previous work on the characters (back in the 70's), you can see how much he has grown as an artist. It's classic Kubert through and through.
Give it a shot, especially at the price they're offering here.
A disappointing result from two talents that usually shine.......2004-04-08
Considering the talent and well-established (and well-deserved) reputations of Brian Azzarello and Joe Kubert I was eager to see this collaboration come about. Especially considering Joe Kubert's legacy on Sgt. Rock, I thought we would really be in for a treat. However, I found myself ultimately disappointed with the end result.
Kubert's art is inconsistent, with the majority being very loosely drawn and relying on colors making up for lack of line art. Those panels stand in sharp contrast to other detailed, cleanly illustrated panels that ARE scattered throughout the book. Considering Kubert's expansive portfolio of stunning art, I expected much better from him.
Fans of Azzarello's work on 100 Bullets, etc. will likely be disappointed by the simple, straightforward nature of this story. The plot twist(s) are minor and unsuprising, and like the art, it seems rushed and spotty. Perhaps it has something to do with the number of characters to explore over so short a time, but I never felt they had much depth like the characters in his other work. Considering Azzarello's fantastic work before now, I expected much better from him as well.
Being a huge fan of work by both men, I am very disappointed with this book. Even if you are a die-hard fan of Azzarello and Kubert, I would not recommend you purchase this book unless it is steeply discounted. If I had been able to see the contents in a bookstore, I would have never purchased it.

Book Description
Whether talking on the phone to LaToya Jackson about Michael, being upbraided by Cindy Crawford at a party, or sharing a joint with jack Nicholson, A.J.s unorthodox methods compelled celebs to call him with tips, and brought heat from his editors. Fame: Aint it a Bitch tells the stories behind the stories about the actors, rock stars, models, moguls, and society bad girls that comprimise Manhattans infamous night life. In nightclubs and in newsrooms, readers are shown the trading, deals, threats and cajoling that are involved in creating a hot gossip column. With the edge and energy that completely captures both the glitter and the gutter of show business, A.J. Benza has the real inside scoop yet again.

Thank you Amazon reviewers for saving me "one penny"!.......2007-10-05
... Thank you Amazon customers for reviewing this piece of trash. You saved me from buying it for a penny. I've been eyeing this book since it came out... I remember AJ's spot on E and thought it would be a fun read... I was obviously very wrong. Now that I think about it... I have'nt seen AJ in YEARS!!!
We All Agree.......2006-03-14
It seems everyone here all agrees that this is a lousy book and that A.J. Benza's life is rather disgusting or at least unimpressive. "Z" in the review 'Tedious Reading' says it all best. I had all I could do to finish it and did so quickly. He sure likes to talk about drinking and popping pills. The one real reason I spent the one penny it cost me for the book was in the hopes that there would be some photos of him which there were. I will give him this much credit. He is a handsome man.
People: Ain't They A B*tch.......2005-08-28
It's amazing to read some people weren't satisfied with this book because it didn't deliver enough gossip. This is the guy's memoir. He's telling the story of his life, and these dopes want to be dunked further into the "fishbowl."
The only thing I expected was to hear how he became disenchanted with the business. And rightly so..
The sub-title: "confessions of a REFORMED gossip columnist.
Granted, I came away thinking he wasn't the most talented writer in the world, but he never claimed to be anyone other than the guy who finally made it past the velvet ropes. The same velvet ropes that he and his friends used to be denied entrance.
Don't feel sorry for his demise. He got the game twisted.
The best advice he got came from Pete Hamill, reminding him that he was writing too inside, that he should be writing for the people not in the loop, giving them a taste of what that's like. Instead of being worried about putting his celebrity "friend's" lives on blast, with the knowledge he had he could have scraped the bare surface and continued his job.
That's gotta be the only reason that a Cindy Adams or Liz Smith still exists - although Liz Smith's column rarely breaks any news.
Gossip reporters being no-talent hacks?
What kind of literary skills are required to write the scoop on a drunk actress who passes out in a bar? The only skills a gossip columnist needs are the means to get the information and a sense of humor.
Where did I learn that? From the book.. but more on that f*ckin story later.
The last chapters fill in those blanks .. *skim readers*
Brag Fest - Don't waste your time..........2004-03-01
... I was hoping for some good reading from this fairly personable, talkative guy.
After reading his book I must say my impression of him has changed completely. He spends every chapter talking about himself and not really contributing any gossip at all. I mean, who doesn't know Mickey Rourke is a mess?
AJ is merely massaging his own ego, endlessly bragging about his sexual conquests, and his limited friendships with has-been stars. To add insult to injury, he's trying hard to come across as a macho man. Well, he fails miserably. Real men don't kiss and tell. I was hoping this book would be a lot more entertaining, but it's merely a vehicle for the author to brag, brag brag about himself the silly way teenage boys do. What a disappointment.
Don't bother.......2003-08-30
I bought this book on a reduced for quick sale table for 99 cents. Hard to believe, but I think I overpaid. AJ Benza is a good example of the modern celebrity who is famous without having a talent. For awhile, he filled a niche in the gossip world as the macho gossip columnist. But he had bigger aspirations and left gossip behind and apparently the Peter Principle caught up with him (see my last paragraph).
In AJ's world, image is everything. He acts like a gangster cause he thinks it makes him look cool. He dates super models cause he thinks it makes him look cool. He hangs out at hasbeen producer Robert Evans' house because he thinks it makes him look cool. He even sees being punched out by Chuck Zito as some kind of honor. In the book, AJ also recalls an incident in Paris where he found someone else's credit card and tried to use it in a restaurant after running up a bill of several hundred dollars. That he sees nothing wrong with this says a lot about his complete lack of morality.
Since the book's publishing, AJ had his ultra-boring talk show AJ After Dark on the E! Network canceled after just a couple of episodes. He was also kicked off the Howard Stern radio show for suckerpunching Stuttering John. Not sure what AJ is doing now, but it probably involves receiving food stamps (and from the enclosed photos I would gather that it doesn't involve washing his hair).
