Design Articulated in New Lifestyles.......2004-07-11
Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of This is the Place, Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered and The Frugal Book Promoter: How to do What Your Publisher Won't
In case you haven't noticed, everyone is remodeling. Or building.
"Architecture Fixtures and Hardware" is certainly a book for those who are transforming their lives but it is also for those of us who have decided to stay put. At a fraction of the cost of a big change, modifying the details in our homes can work wonders. "Fixtures and Hardware" gives us ideas for doors and windows, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, storage and more.
A big book, not quite as big as what we've come to think of as a coffee table book, it is packed with pictures, inside and out, of lovely conversions to fit every taste. Wait until you see the spotless photography by Chris Everard! It's going to make you want to tear up your floors and install plywood (p. 42). Yes, plywood! It "displays a more exuberant grain than ordinary planks and can be cut into much wider boards" to show off the pattern. Now, I can't imagine a more beautiful, money-saving device than that. It's only the beginning for those who buy and browse this lovely book as only Ryland Peters & Small can design them.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson is the award-winning author of This is the Place and Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered.

Book Description
What role does the family play in the construction of identity? How has the social and political structure of the family changed? How have artists reacted to and/or documented societal reality and the changing role of the family? Family explores these questions and others in an effort to understand how humanity's oldest social structure has evolved and adapted to life in the 21st century. Expanding beyond the hyped notion of "family values" and the supposed breakdown of the family, this volume includes related work by 38 artists--from Sanford Biggers, Richard Billingham, Louise Bourgeois, and Sophie Calle, to Nicole Eisenman, Margi Geerlinks, Nan Goldin, and Adrian Piper--and poems by 10 contemporary poets including Robert Hass, Louise Glck and Cal Bedieut. In place of the traditional essays found in art catalogues, each artist submitted a brief essay or quote on the concept of family and its relevance to their lives and work.

Book Description
Startling in their size and detail, Cadieuxs photographs murals create an archetypal dialogue between a man and a woman. Dissected representations of the human body and face form carefully calibrated images that provoke strong, conflicting reactions: fear/euphoria, desire/repression. Three essays elucidate the career of this internationally acclaimed artist. Cadieux has had exhibitions at the Pompidou Center (Paris) and the New Museum of Contemporary Art (New York).

Sentimental and Sweet.......2000-03-31
You're The Tops, Pops! is a sweet look at fathers from the Peanuts gang in the Passionate Peanuts collection. Each section has a heading page, then strips that follow featuring Peppermint Patty and Marcie, Lucy and Pig Pen, Charlie Brown and Sally, and Snoopy and Spike. It is in color and black and white, with neat Schulz graphics throughout. While short in pages, it is long in Sparky's appreciation of fathers.
Nice gift book, but few comics.......1998-06-30
This is a nicely made gift book. The quality of paper and construction is excellent. A name tag and piece of "Peanuts" wrapping paper are even included in the back. Also, each page is artistically presented and not simply a page of comics. However, it takes about 3 minutes to read the whole book. I was rather disappointed with the skimpy number of comics in it--the cover is thicker than the whole content.

Book Description
The EC population grew by 17% during 1960-90 but will fall by 2% by 2025. The dramatic growth in the number of Europe's pensioners and the rapid aging of its working population may call for active policies to improve the quantity or quality of the labor force. In this volume, demographers and labor economists investigate these options by comparing recent demographic and labor market developments in Western and Eastern Europe with those in the United States and Japan.
