A brilliant tour through the world of Dallas.......2006-08-31
Robert Dallas en Provence is a very exceptional journey through his work and architecture. It tells us about his thoughts, ideas and way of seeing houses build in with the nature. I know his own house because I was au-pair there some years ago. The photos doesn't lie, it is just like being there my self.
Not just is it at book telling the story of an architect, but at story about the French way of living, about what to enjoy.
Ending with a little appetizer of southern French recepts gives the book a touch of everything the region offers you.
All in all a book of dream and reality, a perfect gift for those who enjoy Cote D'Azur, luxurious way of living and excellent photos better than postcards.
ROBERT DALLAS EN PROVENCE.......2004-08-22
Excellent!! Wonderful overview of a style of it's own. Mr. Dallas is to be commended for rediscovering a not a style of home but what seems to be way of living.

Dear John.......2005-04-01
Your book and the series of videos you produced to go with it are magnificent.
However your focus on only young artists making a living is too narrow. There are plenty of mid aged painters who are breaking out of the studio rut and taking their fresh art to the public.
Now I think you should make it clear that there is room for serious and committed artists of all ages to "Live The Artists Life"
Tthis book is a must for any and all pleine aire painters. Even with the rhetoric it is stunning and inspirational.
The videos better come out on DVD soon or I'll pine away waitning for them.

A trip to the Salons of Paris.......2002-11-08
A catalogue/book of a 1986 exhibition organised by the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco with the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
An invaluable resource for anyone interested in the Impressionist period in modern art. The book begins with essays entitled: ` The Impressionists and Edouard Manet'; `The New Painting:Concerning the Group of Artists Exhibiting at the Durand-Ruel Galleries'; `The Intransigent Artist or How The Impressionists Got Their Name'; `The End of Impressionism';
The works are arranged around the catalogues of each of the Impressionist exhibitions in Paris (1974, 1876, 1877, 1879, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1886). Each section includes readable essays on the particular exhibition, and reproductions of and notes on the paintings represented in the San Francisco/ Washington exhibition , as well as reproductions of the catalogs of the original Impressionist exhibitions.
The quality of reproductions is very high, given the limitations of still enabling the book to remain affordable to the generalist reader.
There is a wealth of detail in this comprehensive work. The book would be a valuable addiditon to any secondary school, college or public library collection.
Highly recommended.

Book Description
This succinct manuscript has proven a workable mechanism in the classroom for providing students with a sound understanding of the economics toolkit. The focus is on developing the ability to apply economic reasoning to policy issues. The text can be completely read and understood in one term by the typical US college sophomore. Applications to straightforward policy issues are included throughout the text, including sections on applications in each chapter as well as chapters that deal strictly with critical policy issues. The text grew from a course in political economy stressing policy issues such as environmental regulation, taxes, price controls, electricity deregulation, free trade, antitrust, special interest politics, lobbying, and labor issues. It addresses policy issues with only the minimal sufficient economic theory. There is sufficient economic theory to give students solid grounding in principles while maintaining the focus on policy issues.
Customer Reviews:
Non Profits you need this book.......2007-05-24
Highly recommend reading this book. It has great real-life examples and useful tips. Very easy to read and follow. I love how it allows you to be creative and realistic at the same time.
Social Enterprise and Donor Partners for nonprofits.......2007-04-23
This guide to fundraising for non profits covers the newest strategy and grand writing plans that are needed in the future.
Good Book for Start-Up Non-Profits.......2007-04-10
I found this book VERY helpful. In fact, I was so fascinated with it, I couldn't put it down. It was like a good novel. I immediately changed some of my thank you letters and re-did my Corporate request for funding letter. I will continue to use it's suggestions. The book is well written and not full of 'filler info', but very solid recommendations that one can put to use right away.
A fundraising book for the small nonprofit, or one that is not well organized!.......2006-09-06
This is a great book for the small nonprofit that does not know much about fundraising. If it were for a more established nonprofit, then it would not have referred to major gifts as those starting at $500. I'm used to major gifts starting at $10,000 and going up well into the 6 figures.
This book explains how to do the following:
1. Work with individual donors
2. Plan special events
3. Solicit grants from foundations and corporations
4. Get media coverage (publicity)
5. Use the Internet to help in the fundraising process
6. Create print marketing materials like brochures, newsletters, and annual reports
All the above are important parts of a fundraising plan. One has to set goals, strategize how to attain the goals. Then attract individual donors and develop a rapport with those donors so they give more and more each year. Eventually those donors will become major donors, but that topic is best left for another book.
The book includes a good list of Web sites for prospect research. But the appendix materials didn't seem to be up to par.
All in all, this book provides grassroots strategies for struggling nonprofits. It is no-nonsense and well organized. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the basics about nonprofit fundraising. Topics beyond the scope of this book are planned giving, major gifts, capital campaigns, and endowments. But if you read this book and understand it, then you will be ready to learn about the other topics just mentioned. 5 stars!
Clear and Simple Explanations of What Works.......2005-06-01
There are a tremendous number of non-profits around. There are also a tremendous number of funding organizations. Your job as the fundraising manager (whatever your exact job title may be) is to put your particular non-profit together with one or more funding organizations to raise the money you need.
There is a basic set of fundraising skills and technologies that you can use to fund nearly any non-profit. Gone are the days (in most places) where you can put together some simply fund raising activity and gain enough money to get you through the year.
Here in one simple book is an excellent summary of all of the most modern techniques. It includes:
Developing a Plan that will include your goal, the assets you have to do fundraising, and a strategy to use these assets in the most profitable manner.
Attracting Individual Supporters, which means making your organization look wupport-worthy, understanding your supporters and attracting new ones.
Your best supporters are those that have given you money before. Here are the techniques to keep them giving.
These techniques and many more are discused here by an expert in the field. It should be required reading for anyone responsible for fund-raising in a worthy organization.
