Robert Irwin Getty Garden

Book Description

In the early 1990s the design and creation of the Central Garden at the Getty Center were entrusted to the distinguished contemporary visual artist Robert Irwin. Irwin-a member of California's "light and space" movement-was an unexpected choice for this major commission, and his work has
aroused intense interest in the art world and among gardening enthusiasts and visitors to the Getty Center. In Robert Irwin Getty Garden, Lawrence Weschler offers a lively account of the creation of what Irwin has playfully termed "a sculpture in the form of a garden aspiring to be art." Weschler's
narrative is followed by a transcript of conversations in which he and Irwin, in a series of walks through the garden, discuss in detail the decisions, both philosophical and practical, that shaped the making of this major art work in Southern California. The book contains more than one hundred
color illustrations, many of them specially commissioned from photographer Becky Cohen. The photographs capture the stunning variety of colors and textures of the plant forms selected by Irwin. They also reveal the care and precision that went into the creation of each element of the garden
environment, from the handrails and lighting fixtures to the huge azalea rings and waterfall that make a visit to the Getty Central Garden an unusually thought-provoking experience.
Robert Irwin has exhibited widely in galleries and museums in North America and abroad.

Gloriously, Richly Photographed Gardens.......2004-03-17

I felt that this book is not only a beautiful book on art and gardens to own, but qualifies as an "Everyday Reference" for our Architecture office. The photographs by Becky Cohen, 2000 Alfred Eisenstaedt Award winner, were reason enough to give this gorgeous book as gifts to friends as well as other Associates in Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Interior Design. The images she took relay the purposefulness and soulfulness of the design of the gardens, which in turn, connects and inspires the Designer in their own field, whatever it might be. As a reference book to Designers, the book surpasses it's own purpose to show the incredible Getty Gardens and to view the dialogue between Weschler and Irwin, which at times, I'm sorry to say, can be dull and stupid sounding. However, the compositions and textures of the photographs are just too stunning to harbor that opinion of the dialogue for very long. In the book, you feel you might realize that Cohen's immensely thoughtful compositions of the garden photographs are a better art itself than of the artistic gardens. Again and again, with every page, they follow one after the other to reveal a new thought, not just about gardens or a particular spectacular plant or flower, but about how you see them. It inspires a desire to see them for yourself, as she does, to open an intimate experience with nature. Each image impresses that the two dimensional beauty you see in front of you might be part trickery. The "real" gardens couldn't have that much beauty! But, of course, when you visit the gardens, they do. Cohen is merely brilliant at capturing it. As you find the last of the images at the end of the book, it reminds me of the wonder you feel when you see anything beautful for the first time, it sort of makes you hold your breath and makes your heart skip a bit.

Book Description

Plants in the Getty's Central Garden is Jim Duggan's sequel to the book Robert Irwin Getty Garden, Lawrence Weschler's account of the making of the Central Garden at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Designed by contemporary artist Robert Irwin, this "sculpture in the form of a garden aspiring
to be art" draws thousands of visitors each year.
One of the key collaborators who helped Irwin realize his vision, Jim Duggan is, in his own words, a "hands-on gardener." His knowledge and experience were invaluable as Irwin selected the plants that would make up the interwoven "tapestry" of the Central Garden.
This colorful guide brings together informative descriptions of the growing habits and characteristics of nearly four hundred individual plants, with beautiful images by noted garden photographer Becky Cohen. Duggan provides suggestions for cultivating the plants, many of which will be unfamiliar to
gardeners in Southern California. Also included in the book are a foreword by Robert Irwin; three essays by Duggan tracing his involvement with the project; a map of the Central Garden; a plant location guide; and an index of scientific and common names.

great guide to the plants in the garden.......2006-05-15

After visiting the Getty, I had to know more about the plants in that garden. This is a straightforward listing, with pictures, of many of those plants. There is also some information about Robert Irwin's design concepts which I found interesting because I was particularly struck by the color in the garden, which made sense after reading that Irwin is an artist. The only criticism I have of this book is that some of the pictures look nothing like the plants do in real life-- for example some plants that look almost black in the garden are hard to recognize because the small picture doesn't really do them justice. And not all of the plants in the garden are listed here, because they change. Overall though, I found this book very informative and inspiring!

Book Description

Peggy Fleming Farrell is about to have the best summer ever.

Only, it doesn't look that way at first: There's her job as coffee wench at the Gas 'n Git, her summer school French class, and her unrequited love for a certain waiter. Not to mention Lamaze class with her mom, and her dad's attempt at a professional ice-skating comeback.

So what is it that turns Fleming's summer around? The drive in a "borrowed" golf cart? Love among the pancakes? Appearing in the Rodeo Roundup Days parade -- by accident? The guy with the red flip-flops? What?

Customer Reviews:

Not a Normal Summer.......2005-11-22

Sixteen year old, Peggy Fleming Farrell believes that her summer has come to the worst. Waking up at five every morning, rollerblading across town to work, and babysitting her younger siblings is not how she expected her summer to start. After wrecking two of her parents' cars, Peggy, who was named after a famous figure skater, has to take on a job at Gas `n' Git to pay back her debt. In addition, to make things worse, she gets her license taken away. You will have to read the book to see if Peggy's summer takes a huge twist or if everything just seems to get worse.
I really enjoyed this book because it had a funny plot to it. Peggy just wants to spend her summer learning French and hanging out with her friends, but nothing seems to go the way she wants it to. I liked everything about this book and it was a very quick read. Every chapter has something new and unexpected. I hardly ever wanted to put it down.
Mostly girls would probably like this book. If you want to experience "sweet sixteen" through another's eyes, this would be perfect for you. The main character definitely explains how there can be more work than fun and the disadvantages of growing up. Either way, this is an awesome book and I think you will probably enjoy it.

Kind of.........2005-07-19

predictable. At the end of the book you can kind of figue out what is going to happen. This book is also very slow and hard to get into. You really have to keep reading to get to the good part. I thought that this girl complained to much also.

Her Life Is Literally A Frozen Rodeo.......2005-02-15

Peggy Fleming. Not your typical 16 year old teenager. With problems that are not even hers, such as her dad being a skater and trying to make his comeback, and her mom being a weather announcer on KLDV radio who is also expecting another baby. How will she make it through the problems that ARE hers? She works at Gas 'N Git, there is a robber on the loose that robs gas stations, gives her parents her paycheck so she can pay them back for the two car accidents she caused, and watches her siblings. Also, she is obsessed with Steve Gropher, has no friend in town for the summer, goes to french class were the teacher never shows up and gets substitutes that do not even speak French, and has to take a bus with a crazy driver because she has no car. But one of the biggest problems is that the Rodeo Days are coming to town in Lindville, which she hates. I like this book because the author leaves you hanging there wondering what is going to happen next and then picks you right back up again. Also, she ties everything together and makes this story relate to most teenage girls.

Oh What a "Rodeo".......2004-10-23

Peggy Fleming Farrell is stuck working as a coffee wench at the Gas `n Git when all she wants to go is grab some gas and git out of Dodge before her father, Patrick Farrell, involves her in his skating comeback. Then there's Peggy's mom, queen of weather and radio broadcasting, who seems to think Peggy hasn't got a responsible bone in her body even as she rushes out the door leaving Peggy to watch "The Little Mermaid" again with her younger siblings. Then there's Peggy's desperate crush and the agony of small-town America, but a la Dorothy, Peggy's going to learn that there's no place like the rodeo.

Attention SmalltownTeenagers.......2004-03-29

Frozen Rodeo is a book about a teenage girl that lives in a small hometown. She faces many problems like boys, French class, Rodeo Days, a job, and dealing with her mother's pregnancy. In the small town though, she doesn't have a lot of things to do in her spare time. All the adventures and daily problems she goes through makes for an excellent book full of drama with some comedy.
The part I liked about this book was how I could relate to the main character in many ways. Being a teenager from a small town like she was, I could understand jokes and remarks she'd make. Also the imagery was well described so you can easily get a picture in your head. However, one thing I didn't like about the book was how the author would drag things out at parts. I prefer a book that's exciting at every part. If you have ever read the book When Zachary Beaver Came to Town, you would enjoy this book because it has a lot of the same type of comedy. Also, the small town setting makes them have the same feel. I would recommend reading this book if you are a teenage girl. You'll understand more of where the main character is coming from and dealing with.

Book Description

Description: "Eisner's homage to women at home on the range, is a photo book in the manner of William Klein: gorgeously brazen, blending strident color and cool black & white. Above all, she captures proud horsewomen--a fiery mesh of tomboy and diva." Harper's Bazaar "Former Vogue editrix and fashion muse to hotshot designers, Eisner takes us to a place where acid wash never went out of style, cowboy hats have always been a hot accessory, and line dancing is still going strong." Entertainment Weekly

Fine Photographs Preserve a Little Bit of History.......2003-07-08

Rodeo Girl is a spectacular and refreshing collection of photographs that will surely appeal to anyone interested in photography, the rodeo, or both. As an age of technology engulfs our world like a whirlwind, Lisa Eisner's lens takes the viewer through frames of the rodeo as though it were a ballad to an endangered species, a slow, lasting glimpse before it disappears forever into the sunset. Eisner finds in the rodeo what most photographers only dream of -- an opportunity to craft deliberate compositions of the spontaneous. And she takes advantage of that opportunity brilliantly. While many of the photographs are indeed of rodeo girls, the palette of subjects depicted is actually much broader. Personally, I like Eisner's sense of photographic artistry, and the high print quality helps do it justice. Among other things, with photographs in colour as well as black & white, warm tones seem to be preferred throughout which makes for a classic appearance and suits the rodeo theme well. To truly enjoy this book, set aside any preconceived notions you might have, take it one page at a time, and turn each one slowly. Otherwise, you might easily miss barrel racer Katie McCoin at Cheyenne taking time out to write a note to someone, hopeful yet easygoing Candice Fernets at the national high school finals in Gillette beaming a winsome smile wide as the West, champion steer wrestler Denver Gilbert spending a quiet moment in the truck, an ever-patient cowboy on the fence with the sun setting in the background, and many, many more memorable scenes of the rodeo that this wonderful collection of photographs will never let us forget. We are left anxiously awaiting the next rodeo, hopefully with Eisner close behind rounding up another volume of luminous photographs.

DISAPPOINTED!!.......2001-01-31

I'm really disappointed. As a current title holder and someone who has competed for national titles I don't think this book is really accurate. It is billed as a rodeo queen pictorial, but the pictures are so limited. It's about rodeo culture. Not rodeo queens.

There are so many pictures of random rodeo scenes. In fact, I think it gives the layperson a really negative view of the rodeo culture. The pictures are over exposed and the way they are printed make them seem so dated. It's almost embarrasing. The few pictures that she had of queens weren't great, nothing to write home about. If they were of myself, I probably wouldn't buy the book.

To me it was a disappointing waste of money. But if she got THIS published, I know I could put my personal photos together, not rake the time to title them and be a hit!

Rodeo Girl...a book of pictures.......2000-12-21

I was disappointed in this book. I have met and spent time with Miss Rodeo America 1999 and 2000, and the Miss Rodeo California's from 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 as well as held rodeo queen titles of my own.

I purchased this book as a resource for rodeo and queen competitions. I expected a book about the life of a rodeo queen and some of the challenges and triumphs that are experienced by the first ladies of rodeo. This book is unfortunately of little to no use for current or potential rodeo queen competitors.

Much to my surprise, this book is a compilation of untitled photos that depict candid images of rodeo queens, children, and cowboys in a variety of rodeo-ish settings. As a coffee table book, this would be great, if all I wanted was a book of pictures.

Nothing could be better.......2000-09-17

If you have the slightest interest in this book, GET IT! It has the best photos of exactly "Rodeo Girl". Lots of sequins, lots of hair. It looks great on a coffee table too.

My Review: RODEO GIRL.......2000-05-26

I am an avid rodeo fan and have been involved with rodeo queens for many years. The pictures in this book are quality pictures that I could relate to and understand.

However, to the lay person, without captions or stories, these pictures don't tell their "story". There are several pictures of "rodeo girls", but the title doesn't accurately represent what is inside the book. There is an index in the back of the book that gives a brief description of who is in the picture, but it is difficult to tie to the pictures because they are not numbered.

A good book, terrific pictures that tell a story, but not a book that would appeal to a broad group of people.

Excerpts from published and authors' eviews.......1997-09-27

"E. Jean Carroll has the shock and snazz value that Tom Wolfe had years ago. She is one of a kind."
---Jim Harrison, Author of "Legends of the Fall"

"Jean Carroll has a wonderful ear for how people actually talk and a wonderful eye for the subtle, telling detail, she is documenting a portion of society which has hardly been touched. The book is a pleasure to read and offers many illuminations. I couldn't put it down."
---David Black, Author of "Murder at the Met"

"Female Difficulties is extremely funny and slightly frightening. Savage and wise, Jean Carroll reminds me of Terry Southern at his best."
--- Richard Price, Author of "Clockers"

"Jean Carroll is a wild writer, and a racy and experienced woman."
--- Hunter Thompson, Author of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"

"Rowdy but vulnerable, sharp-eyed and very very funny."
---Anthony Haden-Guest, Author of "Bad Dreams"

Title: Al ataque de la basura tecnol

Book Description

Written for both current and aspiring managers at all levels, this book focuses on ways to improve corporate financial performance. Lewis draws from the fields of finance, accounting, economics, management, mathematics, and information systems to provide a clear exposition as well as detailed examples of practial decision-making for planning and controlling operations. He demonstrates ways to ensure acceptable levels of risk, obtain clear and relevant information, effectively balance long-term and short-term goals and needs, finance profit and growth plans, and incorporate intangibles into the decision process. Throughout, the aim is to help managers make decisions that will have a positive effect on overall corporate financial performance. Organized around three central themes, the book begins by considering the ways in which future growth and profits are shaped by today's choices. Separate chapters address such issues as the evaluation of projected financial statements, current assets, capital expenditures, the discount rate, product costs, and formulating marketing plans. In the second section, the author focuses on controlling current performance. He examines management reports and their role in controlling operations, operating controls for marketing and manufacturing performance, and factory overhead and product costs. The final section looks at information and accounting systems. The author first provides the basics of accounting to enable management to communicate effectively with accountants and other financial experts and then describes approaches to designing workable, useful information systems.

Book Description

This volume aims at covering the variety of issues lying at the intersection of the modern theory of Industrial Organization and of the more traditional Agricultural Economics. The book is divided into three main sections. Each of them includes contributions which are particularly relevant for a better understanding of one or several of the following key issues: the organization of agriculture and its mechanisms, the extent of the market power in agri-food industries and, more generally, the failures of agricultural markets, and finally the nature of government's intervention in these markets.

Book Description

This engrossing narrative is a vital resource for all who are concerned with the moral, legal, and practical implications of the recent explosive outburst of claims for compensation from victims of persecution throughout the world. First published in 1979, this absorbing firsthand account now returns to print with the author's penetrating evaluation of its significance and current relevance.

Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
