entertaining.......2006-03-24
This book just puts a smile on my face everytime I open it. The bears are just wonderful and my grandkids just love sitting and looking at them. I also enjoyed reading about the history of Boyd's Bears and the founders, as a collector there were many things I didn't know. Great buy, very entertaining!

Book Description
Very often beautifully engraved designs on glass are spoiled by poor lettering because, though the artist knows how to draw, he does not know the fundamentals of producing good letters. In this book, Charmian Mocatta discusses the basics of lettering, significant properties of glass such as translucence and color, and the techniques such as engraving and sandblasting by which letters can be put on glass. This is a practical handbook which uses the artwork of internationally known glass artists to illustrate the text.

Engraving Glass: A Beginner's Guide
ASIN: 048625304X |
Book Description
Clear, illustrated introduction to diamond point, copper-wheel, drill engraving; also glass painting, mosaics, more.
Customer Reviews:
Older and still great!.......2004-06-19
This is the best book I have found on diamond-point engraving, which is what I do. I think it is better even than Boyd Graham's Engraving Glass:a Beginner's Guide. Barbara Norman, an English glass engraver herself, has a conversational style of writing that is also helpful and encouraging. I wish I had found this book when I was just getting started, it would have made things so much easier. Even so, I learned ideas for tools and methods I hadn't used, and it inspired me to do more with my work. Norman also includes historical information, somewhat English based, on glass decorating techniques included in the book, i.e. drill-engraving, cooper-wheel engraving, cold-painting, gold engraving under glass. I would love to see her do an updated edition of this book, because the photographic style of the book is dated as it was published in 1972; until then this is the best, especially on diamond-point engraving.

At this time, a definitive resource manual........1999-01-24
Mr. Graham has the unique approach to glass engraving that you do not see often. He describes the occupation in easy to understand language and the techniques seem easy to master. Because I read this book, I intend to pursue glass engraving as a hobby now and maybe something serious when I retire. Thanks Boyd.
The essential, must have, glass engraving book.......1998-12-22
The explanations are clear and concise, and it covers everything from the basic tools you need to get going, first lessons and the basic cuts, how to build a drip table for water cooling, more sophisticated cuts, and quite a bit on polishing and displaying, and where to find glass, equipment, and supplies. Plenty of drawings and photographs which complement the lessons.
This book is simply the most bang for the buck of any book I've ever bought on any subject. And the pictures are well done, which is a ture rarity in a glass book.

A well illustrated history of this rare art.......1998-12-22
This book covers the almost lost art of point engraving on glass. The history is quite thorough, from the Romans to the Renaisance, to modern times. The photographs of point engraved glass are just incredible (as a point engraver myself, it's an extremely hard subject to photograph well). The author has included photographs of his own work, which do not dominate the book, but rather serve to illustrate that this a subject of which Mr. Whistler has great personal mastery. The bowl on page 63 is incredible.
Beware, if you're looking to get started in teh field, this book is a history, not a how-to. Also, point engraving is an incredibly time consuming, thankless art.

Book Description
The substantial and growing interest in the monetary valuation of preferences for environmental improvement, and against environmental damage, has prompted a demand for case studies illustrating methodologies and applications of valuation techniques. In this book, the first of two volumes, the authors provide detailed case studies of valuation techniques that have been used in developing countries. They demonstrate that valuation works and that it can yield significant insights into policy-relevant issues regarding conservation and economic development.
The authors address a whole range of environmental issues under the broad themes of water and air quality, biological diversity and forest functions. The economic approaches covered include contingent valuation, hedonic property prices, travel cost methodologies and benefits transfer. They also go on to look at the idea of extending national accounts to reflect changes in environmental assets. Examples of the varied and interesting case studies include valuing improvements to sanitation in Malaysia, the value of visits to game parks in South Africa and tropical forest values in Mexico. They highlight how valuation techniques can be applied, often with limited resources, to critical development issues.
Academics and practitioners of environmental economics will draw great value from this unique and original work, as will the many multilateral and bilateral aid agencies. The book will also prove a valuable addition to graduate and undergraduate courses in environmental economics where there is a need for case material.

Susu Economics: The History of Pan-African (Black) Trade, Commerce, Money and Truth Part 1 (History of Pan-African Trade, Commerce, Money, and Wealth)
ASIN: 0595182461 |
Book Description
Susu and Susunomics: The Theory and Practice of Pan-African Economic, Racial and Cultural Self-Preservation is one of the most powerful and effective books ever written on one of the oldest economic systems practiced. The Book is the second part of the Susu series. It discusses the practical means of developing what is required for the building of strong economic, social and cultural power in African-America as well as the rest of the Black world and the world of those striving to improve their economic, social and cultural conditions. Susu and Susunomics shows how communities such as refugees from World War II Europe and Afro-Caribbean people have used susu and economic nationalism to build up collective and individual wealth through unity, cooperation and the pooling of their resources. Susu and Susunomics discuses the form of susu economics practiced by Koreans, Black West Indians and others. It also stresses the point that in many northern cities beginning as early as the 1620’s, Blacks were developing in parity with whites until slavery was officially established during the 1680’s, a move that was illegal. The use of susu in the Southern U.S. and the building of strong, thriving, economically stable Black communities is also part of the evidence in this text. This book deals with a number of very important issues of significant important to the Black communities worldwide. Some of the issues include: creating a tax and job base; the attitude needed to be successful; economic racism and stopping it; susu banking and building a susu economy; workers and the susu system; pooling money to buy banks, factories, lands and other assets; stopping population control and managing a strong, growing population; Susuism and independence; the Black male and rebuilding the Black family and a number of very important issues and solutions.

Book Description
As Japan's decade-long economic stagnation continues, there has been much analysis of the immediate macroeconomic problems that confront the Japanese economy. This book looks past the short-run challenges to the future of Japan and highlights the intermediate and longer-term issues that country faces.
In this, the first book-length academic treatment of this important issue, a team of notable contributors present nine papers, offering a comprehensive assessment of those economic difficulties and addressing a range of specific issues, from financial restructuring and the impact of the aging Japanese population to corporate behavior, public lending, employment practices, and innovative capacity. In each paper, contributors clearly identify and outline problems and concerns, carefully pose provocative questions, and in many instances present concrete suggestions for improvement.
The resulting volume is a timely and important examination of critical issues for Japan's stalling economy, packed with both telling data and expert analysis and offering valuable perspectives on Japan's current obstacles.
