Worth every penny.......2007-08-16

Anyone serious about improving the color in their paintings should own this book. The reproductions are clear and lucious. The work is done in palette knife so the color notes are clean. It takes you step by step through several still life settings and excercises and shows how the objects were first divided into shadow and light patterns and then breaks down to the finer nuances of color. It teaches the student how to look closer and see the subtle temperature shifts of color. There are also several reproductions of completed paintings in the back that utilize the approach. Fortunately I bought it while it was still in print and cheap, but, I'd pay $60 for it if I didn't own it already.

Waste no more time with flaky, new age egopainting. This is it........2007-07-18

Arthur Stern, student of the legacy of that almost-lost thread that has passed through Classical art, the Renaissance masters, the Baroque masters, into Chase, Hawthorne, Henri (and his students- Bellows, Hopper, Kent, etc.), the Bay Area artists (etc.), offers up the eye-clearing humility, without BS, that is necessary to see in order to paint what Cezanne called the "ensemble".

Akin to tuning a guitar, the method reveals that the harmony of the few notes ("spots" of value/hue/chroma) must be chorded before you learn how to glue an American flag and a photocopy of the Twin Towers to your 21st Century bombast. THE FUNDAMENTAL basis for painting. A pathway, not to be viewed as a fixed style or dogmatic cul-de-sac, but a route of initiation to Beauty.

Hawthorne/Hensche purists irk me with their holier-than-thou, plein air fascism (and some of their students with how-to books should be, with Thomas Kincaid, whipped), but I DO agree that THIS IS THE DOOR TO THE WAY. Beautiful, simple truth. Reprint Stern's book before the world ends.

How sad that this book is out of print. It is a wonderful book that deals with the process of isolating colors. First it starts you with a simple project and then progresses within each study exercise that you do. My gray view finder from class has now seen better days, however, I will always carry one with me and used it even to capture items for my journaling.

This book uncovers the mystery of painting. For anyone who wants to grasp the basic concepts of color in a very visual manner. A CLASSIC! If I had found this book sooner, I would not have paid so much for art instruction.

An unwanted baby.......2007-09-25

LIGHT ON SNOW by Anita Shreve
September 25, 2007

Amazon Rating: 4/5 stars

Another winner from Anita Shreve, LIGHT ON SNOW centers on an incident that changes the lives of a mourning father and his twelve-year-old daughter. The story is told through the eyes of an adult Nicky Dillon, regarding events that took place when she was twelve. She had just lost her mother and baby sister Clara to a tragic car accident. She and her father, who was once a successful architect, live in a remote part of town where they are practically cut off from society. It is his choice. He can no longer deal with people because his grief is so great. He now makes a living making furniture, spending his time crafting beautiful pieces of art with his hands.

One snowy afternoon while the two of them are walking their daily hike, they hear a noise, and then realize it's a baby. They find the newborn lying in the snow, wrapped up in a blanket with the umbilical cord still attached. The baby is no more than a day old if that. They report this to the sheriff, and the baby is taken away. They keep tabs on the status of the baby, feeling caring towards it but knowing that with the baby's parents out of the picture, the infant will eventually end up in a foster home.

Shortly thereafter, they receive a visitor to their home, the baby's mother. Nicky begins a friendship with the nineteen-year-old woman, a woman who was forced to give up her baby, partly pressured by her boyfriend, but also worried at how her family will react. She tells Nicky that she had never wanted her baby to die. Nicky's father knows that the woman is a fugitive, and will be tried for murder. Keeping silent about her makes him an accomplice, but Nicky is against the idea of turning in the young woman who is sorry for what had happened with her baby. The appearance of this woman makes a big impact on both Nicky and her father, to a point where their lives will be changed forever.

LIGHT ON SNOW is really two stories. It is a story of a young woman's plight and her responsibility in the act of disposing of her baby, but also how this event changes the lives of two people who are drifting along in life, living apart from society, and mourning two deaths and cannot let them go. Nicky connects with the woman, a mother figure that Nicky hopes will remain in their lives forever along with the new baby. But her father wants nothing to do with this woman, a woman who he feels is the lowest form of human life, someone that would dare to throw away a precious baby. He wants to forget they ever met her, and continue the lives they were leading, alone and apart from the rest of the world.

LIGHT ON SNOW was yet another wonderfully written book by Anita Shreve and as usual I am looking forward to my next.

A grief mosaic.......2007-09-14

This novel is wonderful. The writing is fluid, calm and knowing and you have this quiet assurance that this author knows where she is going with her story. Her pace is deliciously unhurried and you walk gently, quietly and easily with her. The story isn't an easy one one but Anita Shreve makes the writing of it simple and natural.

The characters are unforgettable (especially our tween protagonist through whom the writer speaks) and have such a warmth. Their pain is so intimate and raw, you feel like a welcome intruder. I felt like I was reading through my lashes and with my heart.

The novel unfolds beautifully and there is so much grace in her prose, I even underlined quite a few sentences. And for the first time, winter has her own true beauty. It ends perfectly; no blame, no secrets, no questions...we move on.

It's also interesting to read the author's short list of her favourite fiction at the end of the book as well as a book study guide and preview of 'A Wedding in December'. I understand that this book was supposed to be narrated in hindsight by a grown up Nicky Dillon at age 30 but I didn't get that sense while I was reading. It all was in the present. In any case, I'll be reading more by this author.

I can't stop thinking about this story.......2007-09-06

This is a touching, funny, sad, wonderful book. Other reviewers have given great synopses so I won't get into that. If you love character development and enjoy reading while clutching a kleenex this book is for you. I can't stop thinking about this story. . . !

Yawn..........2007-08-06

This book is readable. It took me about three months to creep through this pointless novel. And I do mean pointless. I have put it down and picked up other novels in between trying to get through it. And for what? We never know what happened to Charlotte or James-but Nicky sees it fit to tell us what eventually happened to her father (on finding love again.) And the ending didn't make sense. Put it in gear? What the Detective left them? Whatever. I don't care. I agree with another reviewer in saying this should have been a short story. It was so obvious that the author was stretching this paper thin storyline as far as she could take it. Honestly, a junior high student could've written this book of simple proses.

A Good Book.......2007-06-12

This was an enjoyable and easy book to read. Anita Shreve always does such a wonderful job of bringing her characters to life.

This story is narrated by twelve year old Nicky Dillon. She and her father live in a secluded town in New Hampshire. One afternoon while they are snowshoeing they find a baby who has been abandoned in the freezing cold.

Nicky can't stop thinking about what if...What if we had never moved here? What if we had decided to stay home that afternoon? What if they had never found the baby?

I thought the story was good and realistic. The story was engaging with an element of suspense to it. The characters were real and the dialog believable.

This was a good book but not as developed as Fortune's Rocks and not as suspenseful as The Pilot's Wife.

Overall a good read.

This book is quite unique - not only does it offer descriptions of trails from Conn. to Maine down to the 10th of a mile, but it also provides insight into the railroads that once traveled on them. A must-have for any rail-trail rider or hiker who wondered about the railroads that once ruled the trail. Asphalt lovers note: only 11 of the 26 trails in the book are fully or partially paved.

Book Description

Abandoned New England focuses on five modern American visual artists and poets--Winslow Homer, Robert Frost, Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth, and Elizabeth Bishop--who portrayed the stark traditional beauty of New England landscape. Their paintings and poetry of abandoned terrain ask: what does a landscape represent and what meaning can it have when nature's power appears supplanted by urban or technological forces and when the observing eye is no longer emblematic of an enlightened viewer? Abandoned New England pursues these inquiries by discussing shifting and conflicting cultural attitudes toward the wild, rural, and domestic. In her readings of texts and images, Paton explores landscape as the synthesis of the human and nonhuman, as a place simultaneously reflecting and resisting desire, as the setting for social dilemmas, as encounters with otherness and a past both lost and inescapable, and as an integral part of creating and limiting identity.

Paton argues that although "landscape" seems to have lost some of its significance in the modern era, longings for its potential value persist. Landscape iconology, ecocriticism, green cultural studies, cultural geography, and aesthetics provide fresh perspectives on how iconic New England artists have depicted landscape, revised stale conventions, undermined biases surrounding nativism, and recharged our reception of the rustic pastoral. Ultimately, Paton's analysis of the works of these beloved New England artists demonstrates a postmodern yearning to reinvent nature and reimagine Eden.

Description:
Numbers of abandoned vehicles in England have grown rapidly over the past 10 years. In 2001/2002, over 290000 vehicles were reported abandoned. This paper examines how the abandoned vehicle problem is likely to develop in the future with the introduction of new laws and initiatives, after first establishing the current situation and the causes of abandoned vehicles. There are four main factors which seem likely to have created the conditions for the problem to grow. These are: the substantial decline in the price of scrap metal; weaknesses in the vehicle licensing and registration system; growth in the pool of cheap, second-hand vehicles; and increased motoring costs. In the near future, implementation of the End of Life Vehicles Directive (ELVD) is likely to push up numbers of abandoned vehicles even further, since this will increase the cost of legitimate vehicle disposal. At the same time, initiatives introduced both by central government and by local authorities should help to slow the upward trend in numbers of abandoned vehicles. These initiatives include increased enforcement against untaxed vehicles, continuous registration, surrender schemes for end of life vehicles and rapid removal of abandoned vehicles. The current research suggests that if all measures to counter abandoned vehicles are effectively implemented, it is possible that the number of vehicles abandoned per annum will rise to approximately 400000 in 2007. However, a more realistic projection, based on the assumption that new loopholes will be found by motorists determined to dump their vehicles, suggests that the number of abandoned vehicles in 2007 could be around 560000 i.e. about double the current number. From 2007 onwards under the ELVD, vehicle manufacturers will become responsible for vehicle disposal costs. It is hoped that the problem of abandoned vehicles will start to decline from this date.

Book Description

It is not possible to understand the apparent stability of the Earth's climate and environment unless we can fully understand how the best possible environmental conditions may be maintained for life to exist. Human colonization of areas with natural biota, for industrial or agricultural activities, will lead to degradation of those natural communities and violation of the BRE (biotic regulation of the environment) principle.
Thus to maintain an environment on Earth that is suitable for life it is necessary to preserve and allow the natural recovery of natural biotic communities, both in the oceans and on land. This book is devoted to a quantitative version of the BRE concept, and is built on a foundation of modern scientific knowledge accumulated in the fields of physics and biology.

Book Description

"Just Generosity" calls Christians to examine their priorities and their pocketbooks in the face of a scandalous tendency to overlook those among us who suffer while we live in practical opulence. This holistic approach to helping the poor goes far beyond donating clothes or money, envisioning a world in which faith-based groups work with businesses, the media, and the government to help end poverty in the world's richest nation. This updated edition includes current statistics, policy recommendations, and discussions covering everything from welfare reform, changes to Medicade, and the Social Security debate.''Sider's most important book since Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger.''--Jim Wallis, author, God's Politics. ''Sider knows how to lift up people in need.. [An] important and challenging book.''--John Ashcroft, former Attorney General of the United States

Fair and Balanced.......2007-06-23

The debate over how best to help the poor seems to be polarized around the logical conclusions of two seemingly opposed assumptions. The conservative assumption is that most people are poor because of the personal choices they make. The liberal assumption is that people are poor because of bad environments and injustice.

The conservative point of view leads to public policies that reward personal initiative while allowing families to suffer the consequences of their bad decisions as a means of discipline.

The liberal point of view initiates policies that redistribute the wealth through entitlements and public projects while attempting to change the environment through the force of law.

The weakness of the liberal position is that it tends to enable poverty rather than eradicate it. The weakness of the conservative position is that it tends to ignore injustices and do nothing to remove the very real barriers to the upward mobility of the poor.

Ronald Sider in his book Just Generosity: A New Vision for Overcoming Poverty in America argues that these are not competing assumptions but complimentary ones. "I have lived and worshiped with he poor far too long to side either with the liberal who quickly dismisses the way personal choices contribute to poverty or with the conservative who ignores the way complicated structural barriers make it difficult for many hardworking people to escape poverty" (p. 35).

Sider's "Twelve Principles of a Just Society" is the foundation for his policy suggestions that make up over half of the book. While one may quibble with the details of the suggestions, on the whole they are a way out of the political rancor that characterizes the current debate.

I highly recommend this book to all. It educates. It makes reasonable suggestions to open the discussion on how best to address these problems. Most of all it is irenic and offered in the spirit of brotherly love as opposed to the power politics that have come to characterize our political discourse.

Do we care?.......2007-04-16

In 1995 the poverty level for a family of four in the United States was $19,806. 37 million people in the US live at or below this level. Ron Sider correctly asserts that it is morally unacceptable for 37 million people to live in poverty in this country while the wealthiest people are gaining a larger percentage of all wealth. In Just Generosity, Sider presents his vision for overcoming poverty in America. And it is a compelling vision.

Sider's vision is distinctive because he acknowledges that poverty is caused by both systemic injustice in society's structures and by poor moral decisions by impoverished individuals. Both must be addressed in order to stop cycles of poverty.

Drawing upon biblical study, Sider presents the goal of an economy of justice: "Every person or family has access to productive resources (land, money, knowledge) so they have the opportunity to earn a generous sufficiency of material necessities and be dignified participating members of their community" (81). Sider deals with a vast array of programs and issues like welfare, minimum wage, tax credits, health care, and education reform, showing how each could be employed in ways that encourage work, empower the poor, and strengthen families.

Sider ends with this troubling question: Do enough Christians really care? This book should be required reading for any that do.

A Wealth of Ideas.......2007-04-16

Ronald J. Sider's, Just Generosity: A New Vision for Overcoming Poverty in America, is a book about solutions. The solutions to overcoming poverty that Sider offers are both broad-ranging as well as full of depth. They are not band-aid solutions that only deal with surface-level symptoms. Instead, Sider targets understanding and overcoming the causes of poverty in America.

The breadth of his approach to overcoming poverty is seen in the number and variety of organizations he suggests mobilizing together for the sake of the poor. Sider envisions faith-based organizations doing all that they do best in the battle against poverty. Likewise, businesses will bring what they have to offer; the media will do its part; while the government (though not expected to carry the full weight of the problems or the solutions) will also be expected to work towards empowering the poor of the society. Together, these forces comprise a "holistic, comprehensive approach" (137) to overcoming poverty.

The depth of his approach can be seen in the various levels of positive-change that he suggests these organizations work together to offer. Sider enlists the creative energies and resources of these varied organizations for the purposes of not only removing barriers that keep members of society from making a reasonable living, but also for such purposes as "character formation, spiritual renewal, and caring communities" (185). It is at this point that I find Sider's work most compelling. He, in other words, cares equally about providing for the very real and pressing needs of individuals and communities (hunger, safe housing and streets, etc.) as well as longer-range needs (such as quality education for all: education that includes the character as well as the mind - that is, spiritual development as well as mental development) that, as they are met with equal excellence, will work steadily to eradicate poverty in the coming days and generations.

Sider's books are thorough. Just Generosity is no exception. At times, in fact, it is easy to get lost in the details. Yet the details concerning poverty are what many of us are lacking. We know there is a problem. We even recognize that the problem is multi-faceted. Yet without the aid of someone like Sider who brings together "sophisticated socioeconomic analysis with normative biblical principles of justice" (14), we are left with our limited awareness of the issues (mixed, possibly, with a measure of guilt and a heap of good intentions) that often lead to us do very little to actually work towards effecting solutions to the problem of poverty in our own neighborhoods - much less all over America.

A Covenant of Compassion.......2007-04-15

Just Generosity
Ron Sider

Ron Sider is a writer committed to several agendas. He is a strong advocate for the word of God, an unconditional submission to Jesus Christ, and a deep desire to see poverty in America eliminated. Sider begins chapter four with a question that seems to drive his passion for the subject this book addresses. "If a person works fulltime all year, can that person earn enough so that his or her family can escape poverty? For millions of Americans today, the answer is no."
The closing chapter offers the hope for America's poor. Sider says we can end the scandal. He offers what he call a Generous Christian Pledge. He proposes that all believers adhere to the pledge. He says, Generous Christians and other people of good will can transform our country. We can end the scandal of widespread poverty in the richest nation in history.

Christians should read this.......2001-04-03

I agree with the review by Jean-Luc for the most part, but I also wanted to add a few of my own thoughts.

As Sider says early in the book, he's not a policy wonk, so that is his weakest point. Trust him on that one. As a more policy oriented person, I agree that some of those things would be great, if implemented, but that's the hard part of all policy - getting it passed and implemented. Some of his suggestions are not politically feasible (yet).

Some of his other policy ideas are, IMHO, just questionable. Not just politically difficult, but I'm not convinced that all the ideas are that great.

His Biblical framework is wonderful. I enjoyed reading his perspective on that, as he exegetes quite well. I also was biased to begin with, in that I had already done some thinking on my own about this issue, and was finding myself just saying "Wow, that's kinda what I was thinking."

yeah. so good book. read it. don't take the policy stuff to seriously. but take the Biblical stuff seriously. He does a good job there. and the principles of the more holistic view of things, too. Those are good.
