Book Description
A complete course in oil, acrylic and gouache painting techniques, from getting started to advanced levels.
Book Description
In words, color photos, and art renditions these guides provide detailed explanations of art materials and how accomplished artists use them to achieve desired effects in the various media. The emphasis in these books is not on completing a finished painting -- a subject covered in other Barron's art series -- but on how to select and use the right materials for the right project, along with practical solutions to common artists' problems. Topics are treated in the form of easy-to-follow step-by-step directions. These volumes are valuable reference sources, both for the art classroom and for use by self-teaching hobbyists. Twenty-six concise sections describe oil paints, canvases, brushes, palettes, palette knives, easels, paint boxes, and related tools. Other topics covered in these sections include paint mixing and thinning, use of different brushes to achieve various effects, selecting pigments for a balanced palette, blending colors on the canvas, as well as controlling line and shape with brushwork.

Book Description
Winner of the Charles C. Eldredge Prize.
In this book, Alan Trachtenberg reinterprets some of America's most significant photographs, presenting them not as static images but rather as rich cultural texts suffused with meaning and historical content. Reading American Photographs is lavishly illustrated with the work of such luminaries as Mathew Brady, Timothy O'Sullivan, and Walker Evans--pictures that document the American experience from 1839 to 1938. In an outstanding analysis, Trachtenberg eloquently articulates how the art of photography has both followed and shaped the course of American history, and how images captured decades ago provocatively illuminate the present.
Book Description
Are their ways to improve small-scale market gardening in and around the city of Jos, Central Nigeria, in order to raise its productivity and income-generating capacity? This question, the relevance of which extends to many other urban areas in sub-Saharan Africa, runs as a common thread through this book.
The study demonstrates that the Jos metropolitan area is well endowed with suitable gardening land, irrigation water, human resources and other conditions favourable to the market-oriented production of fruits and vegetables. Nevertheless, many constraints hinder the performance of the horticultural industry. To overcome problems like insecure tenure, inequitable marketing patterns, lack of managerial and technical skills, pollution and inadequate support, requires a multi-facetted and concurrent approach. The authors emphasize the need for small-scale gardeners to mobilize and organize in order to facilitate collective action and effective advocacy;and the need for considerable governmental and institutional support and social engineering. The experience of some Israeli Arabs has demonstrated, however, that under these conditions, achieving a successful transition is not easy.
Book Description
This book both argues for, and demonstrates, a new turn to dialectic. Marx's Capital was clearly influenced by Hegel's dialectical figures: here, case by case, the significance of these is clarified. More, it is argued that, instead of the dialectic of the rise and fall of social systems, what is needed is a method of articulating the dialectical relations characterising a given social whole. Marx learnt from Hegel the necessity for a systematic development, and integration, of categories; for example, the category of 'value' can be fully comprehended only in the context of the totality of capitalist relations. These studies thus shed new light on Marx's great work, while going beyond it in many respects.

Book Description
Many of the leading thinkers on dialectics in the Marxian tradition have collaborated here to put forward and debate challenging new perspectives on the nature and importance of dialectics. The issues dealt with range from the philosophical consideration of the precise nature of dialectical reasoning, to dialectics and economic theory, and to more concrete concerns such as how dialectics can help us think about globalization, freedom, inflation, and subjectivity.

Book Description
What business manner guidelines should professionals follow in this new century? Are there different areas of concern? 21st Century Pocket Guides to Proper Business Protocol will outline the etiquette do's and don'ts for business people to follow in this new Millennium.
The first booklet is Rules for the Wired, which delves into the digital domain of computers, e-mail, cell phones, pagers, video teleconferencing, and older technology like voice-mail, fax machines, and the normal telephone. Marjorie Brody shares information about electronic gadgets that make the daily business grind more efficient and how to best use them.
There is never a second chance to make a good first impression. Practicing the proper protocol covered in the second booklet in Creating First Impressions That Can Lead to Lasting Impressions, the second booklet, will ensure that there's no need for damage control after meeting clients, prospects or working within an organization.
Business is competitive enough without having to worry about the many nuances of an actual office environment. How do you survive in a cubicle climate? How do you make common areas work best for you and your colleagues? How do managers and supervisors manage their people's time and workspace with maximum efficiency? Booklet three, Make the Work Environment Work For You, will answer these questions and more.
A great deal of business is done outside of the office. Although working over a business meal, at a sporting event, or while traveling can be fun, it also can create lots of stress and opportunities for faux pas. In Have Office Will Travel: Doing Business in Social Settings and on the Road, the final booklet of 21st Century Pocket Guides to Proper Business Protocol, readers will find details on how to make the most of business dining, socializing with clients/colleagues and get a primer on travel-related manners.

Little Book, Alot of information!.......2001-03-06
These small booklets give a great deal of information. I certainly learned several new rules of ettiquette! The size of the booklets are perfect--light to carry, not overwhelming and easy to reference. My thanks to the author for writing such helpful guides!
Applause for Marjorie Brody.......2001-02-20
Ms. Brody's book is a must-read for anyone who strives to be a consummate professional. My favorite sections were in the chapters on how to navigate the business meal and what are appropriate items of clothing to wear for "business casual" days.
Book Description

Ideas Triggers Galore!.......2001-12-06
Here's a book that you can pick up and reread every year. Be sure to have your notepad handy when you do each time, however. Otherwise it will go in one ear and out the other. What most people say is just common sense should be changed to helpful reminders. Things like #130 "Have a firm handshake," #15 "Your advertising has to be at least as good as your product, and #370 "Before borrowing money from a friend decide what you need most," are examples of true gems & practical advice. A smart businessperson can squeeze a lot of value out of this book.
Truely Common Sense.......2000-10-16
Small keys to open tough locks - the 500 maxims put together by Capozzi helps people burdened with fast life and lots of information. most of the maxims sounds simple common sense and it is true. In modern business, the plressure of events, business and high volume of information makese us miss the basic points at times. this book is for people of all levels - a beginner to a veteran manager for different reasons. The only underlaying quality should be open mind for recollecting what we burried within oursels. This book is not for those who think that Capozzi is trying to teach us the maxims we already know but for those who understand that instead of writing another autobiography of 10000 pages incorporating all these maxims under events, Capozzi gave us a chance to assimilate what he learned out of his life struggle into our thinking whenever it suites and get instant motivation. A must read for open minded people crushed under the piles of information created by modern system.
Garbage........1998-05-03
This book is an utter waste of time. A two year old could come up with these quotes. Quotes like, " Have your suits cleaned often" and "Take your assistant to lunch, but not too often" are examples of how little thought went into this book. If you find this book helpful you should be worried. Thank goodness I didn't buy it.
A book that every person should have!.......1998-04-12
This is a book for all people. I read this book for the first time during my third semester in College, and I still use it - even now when I am working. It definitely helped me through my BBA- and MBA program since it pushed me forward when it was tough. It is easy to read, and always enjoyable, and I always find a few new good quotes. Some of the quotes are common sense, some of them are OK, but most of them are excellent. The quotes can help you finding solutions to daily problems or ways of avoiding future problems, both at work and in your personal life. I always keep my copy in my briefcase - since I never know when I need it! It is a perfect gift to friends.
