Rekindling the Home fire.......2000-03-06

Too bad FLW is not able to read this book. He would have seen where his apprentices have taken his work ,and, through their eyes, how he was remembered. We, the living, are more fortunate. Like any kid, what first attracted me to this book was the pictures,in COLOR no less! But it gets even better;this book brings to life the memory fo FLW by those who knew him best,and gives life to his architecture as it is practiced by his proteges. Now I can feel the presence of the man when I see his work. As an aside,it is time for a book for us empty-nested babyboomers who would like a bungalow sized home with FLW written all over it. We want style,simplicity,function,efficiency,ecology,and enviromental soundness in our space,without all the space;an update of Usonia,a sort of Wright Lite. I hope the apprentices of the apprentices are listening. Meanwhile,read this book!

It shows the great results of FLLW's teachings still going........1997-11-08

The book shows the selected works of several of FLLW's most famous and not so famous apprentices works which have been done since the master passed away in 1959. A great book for the non believers who think the teachings or practices of Mr. Wright died in 1959 when he did. This book shows incredible results of just where organic architecture is today. Check out the works of Edgar Tafel, Cunningham, Milton Stricker, Bob Beharka, Eric Lloyd Wright, Lloyd Wright, John Lautner all of whom I'm fortunate to know and to have known. A great book to have as a part of your collection to show to your friends or those who don't think they are interested in Wright's work, it'll change them into believers fast. Also a great gift for budding architects to steer them in the right (Wright) direction. We can only hope that the work of many lessor known apprentices and fellows of Taliesin gets published soon as Volume #2.

Customer Reviews:

Just like Robinhood stole and gave away, you don't need to own this.......2007-09-01

The story is a fictional account of the story of the 47 Ronin.

The story of the 47 Ronin has a gap of about 18 months from the time their master committed seppuku to the time of their revenge. This fictional story is set with these men during that time. This story adds a Robinhood type element to the story of the 47 Ronin, having the samurai live in the forest while robbing the local shogunate.

I don't want to spoil any of the plot, but my general feelings were it needed to be longer, the story was choppy and I did not have much interest in the characters. The artwork was not anything special either.

If you have an interest in the story of the 47 Ronin, I recommend looking elsewhere. If you really want to read this, I recommend looking at the library first. This isn't something you need to own.

Customer Reviews:

Useful for accomplished and amateur writers alike.......2005-08-01

If you are new to the writing profession, or, if you are a veteran who needs to re-charge, this book will help you in many ways. The 19-page chapter on writers' block alone will help you overcome procrastination. Her chapter on personal and professional writing also contains many useful tips.

I'll be a better writer because of this book.......2004-08-17

Effective Business and Nonfiction Writing is full of practical steps and how-to's - you can see your progress toward better writing immediately. I will be a better writer because of this book.

One of the best!.......2003-04-01

Many non-fiction books have great content, are well-researched but are written in a poor style and in a language you don't understand. So what do you do? You put the book back on the shelf and it will never be read.

The author Jan Yager, Ph.D., teaches us to keep things simple and write so it's understandable to anyone. This is not just a book for a professional writer. This is a book for everybody who writes. Everything from e-mails to non-fiction books is featured and don't we all write non-fiction in our daily life? Think about that!

One of the best!.......2003-04-01

In `Effective business and non-fiction writing you'll learn about time management, how to get your writing published, how to overcome writer's block, researching, interviewing and much more. Furthermore, the book is filled with examples and exercises. This is really good work and the book is very well-written.
