Magical Paths: Labyrinths & Mazes in the 21st Century

Book Description

Winding your way through a maze or a labyrinth: two symbolic journeys, both rooted in myth and mystery. After looking at the legends and evolution of the two kinds of complex, twisting paths, Jeff Saward considers how today’s land artists and garden designers have recreated labyrinths and the new “craze” for mazes—from maize mazes and mirror mazes to wood and water mazes and simple garden turf mazes. This overview captures their visual excitement, power to challenge, and unique inspiration.

Wet, Wet, Wet.......2002-06-02

I found this book at a Book Outlet store and thought "for the price, I should get it", so I did. I have to tell you that this is one of the best books to use to build up confidence and technical skills in wet into wet watercolor painting. Each chapter is fun to read and the examples (step by step) are so easy to follow that they help you become an "expert" by the end of the book. I have lots of watercolor books and have found this to be one of my favorites on wet into wet technique for the above reasons.

Wet-in-Wet Watercolor.......1999-11-25

Ms Speckman's book helped me break through to a new level of watercolor painting. She deals entirely with "wet-in-wet", breaking it down into three sections: The Saturated Approach, Painting by Sections and the Painterly Approach. Beginning with a practical and thorough discussion of paper and pigments as they apply specifically to wet-in-wet watercolor, she proceeds to original and effective step-by-step instruction. Although I have purchased and worked from many books on instructional watercolor, I found Ms. Speckmann's techniques to be unusual and exciting. I particularly enjoy her iconoclastic preference for opaque pigments and the way she showcases their unique qualities. Well written and lavishly illustrated, this book is a valuable reference work.

Good for a reference.......2007-09-19

This is a wonderful book on a subject that all new watercolorists need to master. What I really liked about this book above all was the authors discussion on saturation and the different levels of it. It is very informative with plenty of pictures and information.

great info--lousy writing.......2006-02-25

This is possibly the worst written book I have ever read. It is beautifully produced (particularly for the price), has wonderful illustrations, contains gorgeous paintings and is full of totally invaluable information for anyone wanting to learn wet-on-wet watercolor. The author is quite clearly a top exponent of the technique. Possibly the horrendously verbose and opaque writing is the fault of the translator, possibly not. It seems to have been originally written in Polish. This is not a book for a total beginner as you have to have some knowledge in order to decipher the jargon and puzzle out the obtuse sentences. I am still glad I bought it. It is a deal despite its short comings. If it was re-written in a clear and comprehensible style I would willingly fork out forty or forty-five bucks for it.

Book Description

Many thousands of people now own a digital camera. Many thousands more sell their personal items over the Internet everyday. Suddenly everyone is a photographer and all homes are studios. The second issue of Useful Photography is a collection of photos posted on www.ebay.com, images which display the surprising creativity of the amateur photographer. Hence a pair of blue slippers posed against a leopard print background, a picture of a fan that also reveals the feet of the photographer, and a speaker set, shot from both the front and back, shining with pride on a green billiard cloth. You may never look at an object, or a photograph of an object, or a virtual posting of a digital photograph of an object, the same way again.

sublime banality.......2004-11-23

Oddly compelling assemblage of photos used to sell items on eBay. The new "found" photography? A wry critique of consumerism? The artless simulacra of cultural detritus? All of the above and more. See also Useful Photography #1 and the Boring Postcards books.

Peckham Hits A Home Run!.......2007-04-02

I had the opportunity to preview this book just before its publication. If you are either running or starting a commercial real estate brokerage, this book is a must-have! I personally am using much of this book to take my relatively small real estate brokerage to a new level. Great ideas go along with many pragmatic and practical tips. I refer to this book often in my staff meetings.

Jack's Back with another Great Book.......2007-03-21

There is no doubt that Jack knows commercial real estate and Jack knows the Internet. So if you want to improve your knowledge about Income Property Brokerage and Online Marketing, do not hesitate to buy this resource. When you can learn from someone who has walked the path before, you know you are getting valuable information directly from the horse's mouth. This is one of those rare events. Jack's steps and tips worked for him and they can work for you.

Mr. Peckman methodically and clearly outlines the details and keys to make the move into Income Property Brokerage a success.

It's always nice when you learn from someone who has gone through the steps to reach success and isn't reluctant to share them with you and can do so in a mentoring kind of way.

Highly recommended.
