                        If you love photography or are a serious photgrapher - this book is a must. A very insightful book on photography. Coleman is at his best. You don't have to agree with him on every point, but he entices you to condsider the other side.

                        5 out of 5 stars From a review by Stephen Perloff, The Photo Review.......1999-07-18

                        "A. D. Coleman . . . has long been one of our most intelligent commentators on photography. And for clear, unencumbered, jargon-free writing that assumes the intelligence of the audience, he has no equal.. Critical Focus . . . illustrates the rich understanding that Coleman has brought to the medium. . . . His short pieces burst with energy, like an Andrei Codrescu commentary, and they are equally mordant, funny, and insightful. His longer works brim with ideas and clear explication. . . . [R]equired reading for anyone who values understanding photography in contemporary culture."

                        -- Stephen Perloff, The Photo Review, Summer 1995

                        5 out of 5 stars From a review by Margarett Loke, ARTnews.......1999-07-18

                        "At his best, photography critic A. D. Coleman is everything one would want. He draws not only from a wealth of knowledge about how photography is made and who makes it but also from his own extensive readings in subjects beyond photo graphy. He is a lucid thinker and an elegant writer.

                        "All this is evident in Coleman's new book of essays, Critical Focus. In the pieces, which first appeared in the San Francisco-based magazine Photo Metro, Coleman ruminates on the big issues and big names in photography of the last five years. In praise, Coleman's prose is transcendent; in reproof, he does not mince words. . . . One hopes that in future volumes there will be more of Coleman's dry, laconic prose. "

                        -- Margarett Loke, ARTnews, April 1996

                        5 out of 5 stars From a review in Library Journal.......1999-07-18

                        "Coleman is a rigorous critic with a deep, insightful knowledge of the method, theory, and history of photography. Unlike much contemporary criticism that often lapses into dense ideological analysis that is inaccessible to the uninitiated, Coleman's text delights with lucid, well-reasoned analyses of a variety of imagery. . . . Recommended for all collections."

                        -- Library Journal, September 1995

                        5 out of 5 stars From a review in Petersen's Photographic.......1999-07-18

                        " The book was recently awarded the I.C.P. Infinity Award for Writing on Photography -- and rightly so. Coleman beautifully uses his sly wit and social commentary to give us perspective on the artists and their work."

                            Book Description

                            Richard Longstreth is one of the few historians to focus on ordinary commercial buildings--buildings usually associated with commercial builders and real estate developers rather than architects and thus generally overlooked by historians of "high" architecture.

                            Here Longstreth explores the early development of two kinds of retail space that have become ubiquitous in the United States in the second half of the twentieth century. One, external, is devoted to the circulation and parking of automobiles on retail premises. Longstreth analyzes the origins of this development in the 1910s and 1920s, with the super service station and then the drive-in market. The other type of space, internal, was introduced soon thereafter with the single-story supermarket. The most innovative aspect of the supermarket was how its interior was designed for high-volume turnover of a large selection of goods with a minimum of staff assistance. Longstreth focuses on Los Angeles, the principal center for the development of both kinds of space, during the period from the mid-1910s to the early 1940s. This richly illustrated study integrates architectural, cultural, economic, and urban factors to describe the evolution of retailing and how it has affected the urban landscape.

                            5 out of 5 stars A great look at the cultural history of Los Angeles.......2000-06-19

                            A fascintating look at the cultural history of Los Angeles and the way in which commercial spaces played a part in developing it. A must for anyone that's seriously interested in more than the usual history lesson on Tinsletown.

                                  Current debates about the nature of international politics have centered on the clash between supporters and critics of realism. The Perils of Anarchy brings together a number of recent essays written in the realist tradition. It includes realist interpretations of the collapse of the Cold War order and of the emerging order that has replaced it, the sources of alignment and aggression, and the causes of peace. A final section provides a counterpoint by raising criticisms of and alternatives to the realist approach.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent book.......1999-09-02

                                  This International Security reader is a great collection of the recent work in the realist tradition in International Relations. Here you can read the "classic" authors (like Waltz and Walt) and the "new generation" (Schweller - excellent - and Zakaria). The introduction, written by the editors of the volume, is wonderful: it really "maps" realism and its authors. There is also two essays by John Mearsheimer, the "hardcore" realist and his gloomy "Back to the Future" article. Great book and certainly worth the money. This is the best book in the "International Security" readers series.

                                  Globalization effectively captures the growth of linkages across national boundaries, the global expansion of a market economy and the rise of a complex but integrated world society. The Globalization Reader makes sense of a term that has become an all-purpose catchword in contemporary debates. The editors have compiled the most relevant literature into a highly readable and accessible format. With its broad coverage of political, economic, cultural, and individual dimensions, this volume provides readers with a deeper understanding of the globalization process.This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, with thirty new essays and a new section on anti-globalization movements. The editors have replaced several abstract articles from the first edition with livelier, more accessible essays that reflect the current scholarship. With new case studies, and a more international focus, this second edition is an even better introduction to globalization studies.

                                  4 out of 5 stars thoughtful views from noted personages.......2005-09-22

                                  The editors put together an impressive pedigree of authors of the book's chapters. Foremost amongst these is Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations. He discusses how modern states still have a place in this era of increasing globalisation. Then Nobelist Amartya Sen asks how to judge its successes and failures. He suggests that it has much to offer. But also cautions that multinationals often prefer working in autocracies than in free wheeling democracies. And globalisation tends to deal in spreading capitalism rather than democracy.

                                  Historian Samuel Huntington, philosopher Hans Kung and many others also give variant takes. More optimistic, though with qualifications.

                                  You can ponder the essays as posing more thoughtful and measured views than many shrill screeds on the subject.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Best Anthology for College Writers.......2000-09-15

                                          This is the kind of reader desparately needed in the undergrad university writing class. It is savvy, hip, and knowledgeable. It is funny, with a few sharp, political cartoons slipped in for inspiration. Any university professor of writing should jump on this one immediately. It will certainly take the place of the fuddy-duddy, over-priced dullsville reader you have been using. The editors have taken special care to make certain each essay carries social awareness and creative energy. These are the topics which will provoke a class into a free-flowing conversational session. Yes, it is a provocative reader by a great little press that will not cost an arm and a leg. Today, the liberal arts classroom gets a bashing from corporate influences which would kind of like to take over the universities and influence the way classes are taught. This is a reader that throws a few punches back, and it hits right on target. So if you are a college student, suggest this reader to your prof. If you are a professor, make sure your next semester students get the opportunity to read and respond to these knock-out pieces of poignant writing. This is a collection that takes a few risks, and any writing professor worth a syllable should be doing that much--and a whole lot more, to promote critical thinking. This is a reader which illustrates that the latest generation is not brain-dead. Amen.
