Book Description
As Robert Fishman writes of three of urban planning's greatest visionaries, Ebenezer Howard, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, they 'hated the cities of their time with an overwhelming passion. The metropolis was the counter-image of their ideal cities, the hell that inspired their heavens.'

Good subject matter, even better narrative.......2004-12-31
Although an interesting subject matter, the author does an amazing job using the narrative of the thinkers lives to cooincide with their belief system, the only problem is he probably could have done it in about 50 pages less, but overall its a good fast read

If you Love Miniatures..............2007-01-03
This is a wonderful book. There are lots of ideas for making beautiful rooms, the pictures are beautiful and clear enough to see each item, plus how to's and shopping lists. Many talented artists are pictured not just the author. I am enjoying this book very much.
A FANTASTIC BOOK ON MINIATURE ART.......2004-05-13
This is a book any beginner in miniature art should read. Its inspirational, informative and very interesting. There are many pictures in the book which also serves as a visual treat to stimulate and evoke the artist in anybody. The author, Jane Freeman of this book has not only elevated making miniatures as a pure art form but sanctified its stature with her amazing creations. While reading this book, I noticed one thing very special about this book, the author has a talent which lures us to look at everything in life with the creative eye.
Incredible art!.......2004-01-16
Even reading this book purely for inspiration and enjoyment, it's wonderful and fun. The ideas are imaginative and often breathtaking. I have given this book to many friends from all walks of life who are delighted with its spetacular prose and astonishing miniature worlds. Even for those who are "all thumbs," it's thumbs up, way up!
The Art is Obvious.......2003-12-23
I loved this book. I was inspired by the ideas of the author and her guest artists. Wow! A beautiful book, great photography, fabulous ideas! Creativity and imagination and just plain American know-how. A must read book for miniaturists (is that a word?) Wish I could have given it ten stars. Yes I loved this book.
Not your average dollshouse book..........2003-07-22
...and this is the true strength of the book. Jane Freeman's work reflects her classically trained background and does not sit well with the often twee world of miniature 'craft'. If anyone can bring miniatures out of its association with children's toys, Freeman can! This book showcases the work of Freeman and other artists who work in miniature form in brilliant photographic colour and quality on every page- not a single, irritating and pointless black and white among them. I turn to this book when I feel the need to be 'freed' from the conventions of miniatures, namely expense, scale, and realism in the traditional sense of the term. Freeman's talent for producing the essence of what is most important in life is second to none in the miniatures world, and her flair for finding alternative uses for rubbish is ingenious. My work took quite a different turn after the influence of Freeman, from heirloom creations of the Australian past, to scenes of my own life which actively engages the onlooker by requiring their interpretation. This was my most expensive miniatures book purchase, and one of the most valuable. Highly recommended.

Product Description
Cosmopolitan and sensitive, articulate and composed, Wohlauer is a master of the dramatic image, the framed landscape, the arrested instant. In this collection of fifty of his best images from his work over the past decade, the viewer is treated to dolmans from Ireland and standing stones from Scotland, the sweeping waves of the Big Sur and Oregon coast, and the majestic and dramatic vistas of the American desert. These landscapes, carefully crafted, beautifully printed, stand beside his quiet and unassuming still lives and his sculpted nudes with an assured authority. This is a photographer who feels no need to strain for effect, to manipulate techniques, material, or subject matter, or batter the viewer with proof of his virtuosity. The material is left to speak for itself, reflecting a talent that knows precisely what it is doing and is content to let the drama of the subjects at hand speaks more loudly than the man behind the camera. Beautifully printed in fine-line duotone, this is an extraordinary record of compelling vision of an artist working proudly in the footsteps of Adams, Weston, and Strand.

Networking on a Shoestring.......2002-02-18
I run a small business and don't have the largest bank account. When I read other books and starting applying their advise, I figured it would cost thousands of dollars to get my network setup and ready for use. This book saved me a substantial amount of money, made it easy for me to build a network from scratch, and helped me create a networking environment that really works for my business. No, it doesn't contain a lot of fancy solutions that cost a lot to implement, but that's the point, isn't it? If you want a no-nonsense book that tells you how to build a network without all of the expense, then this is the book to buy.
really simplistic.......2002-02-13
Nothing on routers,switches,broadband. Although the ccopyright
is 2001, this book could have been written 10 years ago.
HOWEVER, if all you have is a dial-up modem, this book will help you.
Good down to earth advice on home networking.......2002-02-04
If you want to connect two or more pc's to share a broadband internet connection or printer, or need to set up a small office network, this is the book for you. Covers a multitude of topics, including wireless, phoneline, 10BaseT Ethernet, etc. Written for the not-too-technical reader.
An excellent book for novice & intermediate users.......2001-11-17
If you are computer literate yet lack the fundamentals on assembling a small to medium size network, then this is the book for you. It is a very readable source of information that helps you determine your needs and then presents a variety of options--from common to sometimes bizarre. There is a lot of good advice on conserving costs while optimizing performance and chapters that explore the basics of network security, software, first aid and performance issues. The text has appropriately necessary diagrams & illustrations, an excellent glossary & appendix of tips, and generous references to online sources for further information. This is probably the best beginner to intermediate level book on the subjects covered, at a reasonable price.
Great book for companies that have remote workers!.......2001-10-26
Although this book is a great publication for the SOHO (Small Office Home Office) user community, it's a even greater buy for companies with any amount of remote workforce. I would go as saying that it should be recommended reading for remote workers or even giving it out as a part of the orientation package for new employees that will be working remotely. The book is easy to read and provides practical information for the novice and even the expert to polish on his/her skills.

Neglected Classic.......2006-06-23
Sammy Rice is a low level scientist working for a government ministry in London at the beginning of the Second World War, when Hitler's bombs were raining down and carpeting the city, reducing large sections to rubble, and wounding, killing and maiming thousands of ordinary citizens. Rice's life has not been an easy one, among other things he has an artifical foot which doesn't fit very well, and when the pain becomes unbearable the only thing he can do is self-medicate with a bottle of whisky, while his long suffering girlfriend Susan, also an employee at the ministry, looks on aghast when he passes out night after night.
Rice's life is further complicated by an infiniately byzantine office structure in which the hierarchy is always mysterious and invariably counterproductive. Established by Professor Mair from Oxford, who had been asked to start up a department of working scientists, Rice's ministry has come under attack by an outside council which seems to resent its autonomy. Every day is a little slice of hell.
His expertise comes in handy when all over Britain a new, and deadly sort of bomb is spotted lying on the grass lawns of Derbyshire and the rocky beaches of Bath. Children think it it's a toy, they pick it up, and kablooey! So various are the pieces of the shrapnel that forensics trying to piece the bomb back together really has no idea of what one looks like and thus no idea of how to defuse it. Then one day, two bombs are found sitting side by side on the beach, and Sammy summons up his bottle to take the ultimate test of manhood.
Balchin thus invented, way back in 1942, both the novel of forensics like CSI, and the novel of backbiting office politics, which we see in shows like OFFICE SPACE or the BBC TV comedy series THE OFFICE by Ricky Gervais. People think of Nigel Balchin as a third rate Graham Greene but he's more of a stylist than Greene, and more adventurous too. It's one of those books that gets under your skin and takes you down with it.

Classic illustrations.......2007-09-28
I owned this book as a child in the 70s...when we didn't have a lot of money or a lot of books. The illustrations are classic circa 1970s pen and ink drawings with a little bit of color added...I think a lot of orange and black. (How 70s is that?) The book tells the tale of two sisters struggling to share a room. They resolve to each have a half, but their solution poses other problems. A delightful tale about sharing that still makes me wish I had a sister.

Best Kept Secret for Homeowner Associations.......2001-05-03
I think I have found the best kept secret in this growing circle of CA homeowner's associations - John Linford's "Planned Community Living." Whether it is deciphering foreign acronyms and terms (i.e. CID, CCR, appurtenant interests, indemnification), dealing with power-hungry board members, or trying to settle a seemingly simple dispute over the height of a fence - this book finally helped me understand the foundational issues surrounding the places where many of us live. Buying and settling into a home is agonizing enough. Dealing with escrow, title, loan managers and realtors will test our patience. Add on top of this the "association" with their dues, covenants, conditions and restrictions, and I soon wondered where my freedom went of owning my own home. There are many benefits, like privacy, golf courses and swimming pools, but this was like walking into a foreign country without my Berlitz. The best time to read this book is before you commit yourself to living in a planned community. But, buy it anyway, even if you have already started paying your dues. It will help you navigate the legal side so that you can understand the issues and stand on solid ground when presenting your concerns. I recommended this book to one friend who was thinking about becoming a member of a homeowner's association and another who was already a board member. Both thanked me! Another plus, is that the publisher provides an annual update, discussing all the new laws each year that affect property owners and homeowners association. This is a real estate textbook worth 5x the asking price. It should be included in the package for every new homeowner, board member or property manager. There is a downside to the author if this were to happen......the annual association's legal fees would probably decrease substantially! What can I say - buy it!
Excellent Reference-A Must Read for CA Homeowners Assns........2000-10-01
This is a must read for anyone who is a member of a homeowner association. Linford's explanations of how to successfully live within homowners associations are detailed yet simple enough for the layman. This is a great book to have on your bookshelf as a reference.
very helpful and informative.......1998-10-21
I recently purchased this book about the rights of homeowner association members. this is the greatest laymens book. All documented by case law so you know your rights and what to do about them.

Another excellent updated guide.......2007-04-07
DEEDS FOR CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE by Mary Randolph, J.D. is another excellent updated guide: this to choosing the right kind of deed, creating it, then filing it with a county recorder. Step-by-step instructions for so doing have been updated in this latest 7th edition to include the latest forms and reflect the most recent legal changes.
Factual, acurate and in layman terms.......2001-08-17
I am experiencing some Deed problems in California and to try and get detailed information from the clerks office is impossible. This book has all the info you need. I highly recommend it!
An unbelievable bargain.......2001-05-22
If you need to change a deed on your house or other real property -- changed your name, separated, married, adding a survivor to inherit -- don't pay a lawyer or title company hundreds of dollars to do it. Buy this book. Read the instructions carefully, fill out the forms and then go to the county recorder's office and file it yourself. Even if you have to pay for parking.
If I can do it, anyone can do it. After finding this book such a great help, I have turned to Nolo Press time and again for self-help legal books. Written my will, created powers of attorney for my domestic partner, even helped my folks set up living trusts. If you read the book and decide you do need legal help, you'll be better prepared to ask questions and direct the professional to do what you want, and to do what you can yourself to save dollars. Just shaving a half hour off a lawyer's time spent more than pays for the book.

Hot Notes and Sample Questions.......2007-04-04
Prepare for your California Real Estate Exam by practicing with the sample questions in this book. The Hot Notes are helpful too.
Acceptable, I guess.......2007-02-25
Here's the deal scoop on this. Lots of repeated questions, at least one blatantly wrong answer, and some ambiguous questions that will make you feel stupid for not getting it when in fact it's just a stupid question. A lot of times the author gets lazy and will provide the following explanation as to why the answer is correct: "statement of fact". Gee that doesn't help too much.
I guess you can get this book if you like tough love, meaning, it MAY teach you by abusing you.
Not a book for you if you don't already know the material. Only get it if you need sample questions.
Not perfect but pretty darn good!.......2006-10-09
I agree with a little of what each person has written below. The Hot Notes are super helpful. Memorize them. The practice tests are VERY helpful. Do them! And there will probably be some of those questions on your real exam, because there were on mine.
That being said, some of the practice questions are worded vaguely or seem to contain conflicting info with the Real Estate Principles book (the basis for the CA exam). However, I tried using another book (How to Pass the CA Real Estate Exam and Dramatically Improve Your Score by Huber) and was almost in tears of relief when I realized I had also bought this book by Lush. The other book's exams were so convoluted and NOT related to the material, that it made me appreciate Lush's book all the more.
The only thing I will say is that the math section in this book is weak. The other book I just referred to had a really strong math section, which gave me confidence when taking the test. But, had I not used this (Minnie Lush's) book, I wouldn't have passed my exam on the first try.... which I did!!
Finally, about the exam, it's NOT easy. But it's NOT unreasonably difficult either. I knew the Principles book backwards and forwards, but there were still 11 questions on the test on material that I'd never heard of. But, since you can miss 45 questions and still pass, that's not a big deal. I worked steadily and did the math questions as they came up. On my scratch paper, I made a list of the Qs I wasn't sure about and/or didn't answer, then went back and looked at those when I had finished with all the questions. That way, I was able to gauge how many questions I had thought I'd answered correctly. All told, I was out of there in 2 hours' time. I give credit to knowing the Principles book really well (I read it twice and outlined it on my own) and having used this study book. I did self-study, no schools or seminars, so it CAN be done!
Harder than it needs to be.......2006-08-14
I passed the California Sales Exam on my first try using this book and the Learning Express Exam Guide. The sample tests in this book were so difficult that I only got over 70% on one of them. I was really worried. I read the Hot Tips twice but was concerned that I hadn't thoroughly memorized them. The most intimidating part was the math. Some of the answers were two paragraphs long and contained several steps. My other exam guide was so much easier that it confused me. I really didn't know what to expect. When I took the exam, I didn't encounter any math that was more than two to three steps. I think this guide is useful if you want to really challenge your brain. But, it seems much more complicated than the actual exam it's preparing you for. I also spent $47 on the California Real Estate Exam Guide Software disc by Minnie Lush (Dearborn) that has the same material. I would take a test in the book, read the answers, then take the same sample test again on disc.
The most important for me when taking the sales exam was to go through it once and answer everything I knew for sure. I saved all the math questions and did them at once. I went through the exam a second time and answered everything else. Don't leave any questions unanswered. Good luck!
Used it, Passed the exam. What more can I say?.......2004-09-19
Book is only good as the reader. If you find this book to be a waste of time and money, then so be it. Find another book. Good luck with your exam.
As for me, I used it along with 2 different exam guide books and found this one from Minnie Lush to be the most helpful. In fact, there were about 25 problems in the actual exam that were exactly the same as the ones I solved in this book. When you purchase this book, go through all 10 prep exams and memorize all the problems you answered WRONG. Those that you answered wrong will most likely to be in the actual exam. Actual exam is NOT a piece of cake. You actually have to work at it to pass it. Furthermore, HOT NOTES in the book are very helpful. Memorize them all.
Advice to all the examinees..... When taking the exam, don't worry about all the problems you are not sure about. Exam is set up so that you will lose confidence and even doubt yourself from the START. That's right... FROM THE START!!! Just remember this.. "Make sure to find 100 questions you can answer without any shred of doubt what so ever. As for the balance 45 problems, even if you choose "C" or "D" on all of them, you should at least get 10-15 of them right, which means you pass.
I hope this helps.
