Book Description
•A best-seller for 35 years
• A timeless classic that has taught generations of artists—and will teach generations more
When it was originally published in 1970, How to Draw What You See zoomed to the top of the publisher's best-seller list—and it has remained there ever since. "I believe that you must be able to draw things as you see them—realistically," wrote Rudy de Reyna in this introduction. Today, generations of artists have learned to draw what they see, to truly capture the world around them, using de Reyna's methods. How to Draw What You See shows artists how to recognize the basic shape to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains.

Great book.......2007-05-18
This book is wonderful. I've been drawing ever since I was little, and it is def. helping me sharpen my drawings skills. Even if you don't know how to draw and want to learn-this is a great way to start. The author explains things very well.
Lots of useful information.......2007-04-10
A good book for learning to draw the outdoors. Was especially helpful to my teenage son in Art class.
draw what you can see.......2007-03-27
I am just amazed at how quickly i received these books, i just wish the freight wasn't quite as dear, I would do much more, I give art classes in my studio and am on a limited budget, so to be able to offer these books at a cheaper rate is great , the condition of the books was terrific and have no hesitation in telling other people about this site, which i have done, the choice of art books seem to be much larger then here in Australia and especially the fact that we can get them secondhand in good condition is a plus..... thank you /very happy customer
Excellent.......2007-03-19
This book is excellent for those who want to learn more about drawing. This book is worth buying!
Good resource.......2007-02-15
This is a good book to help you define and sharpen your drawing skills. Even if you think you can't draw, give this book a try. It helps you to see what you're drawing instead of trying to draw what you think you saw. Highly recommended, with many projects in the book to use as practice.

Customer Reviews:
well written, but out of date.......2005-09-13
Since this book is from 1998, it's quite out of date and doesn't cover many new media or ideas from the last few years.
For what it is..........2003-04-17
This book contains a lot of information needed to learn about the commercial & internet world. The way the book is formatted makes it so much easier to learn. Even after I sell this book and after I leave this class, I will still remember all the information I learned because it was just that readable.

Book Description
Este libro presenta una provocativa selección de ensayos académicos y rigurosas investigaciones científicas para explorar las dos grandes globalizaciones de nuestra era y sus interacciones: la globalización económica y la globalización religiosa.
Esta importante selección de textos ha sido tomada del III Encuentro Internacional de Estudios Socio-Religiosos, celebrado en la Habana, Cuba, en donde se dieron cita especialistas de todo el mundo, representando varias disciplinas para analizar los procesos religiosos y sociales en las condiciones del nuevo milenio, sus efectos en el pluralismo y la identidad religiosa, la reformulación de antiguas creencias en nuevas y controversiales propuestas, las dinámicas de diversificación y crecimiento expansivo, las distintas respuestas de las iglesias ante los efectos del neoliberalismo, y a su vez, la forma en que incide esta ideología en la fe religiosa de millones de personas.

INTENSELY SCHOLARLY COLLECTION OF POSITION PAPERS FROM THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF SOCIO-RELIGIOUS STUDIES.......2006-11-30
Anyone interested in or practicing evangelization in the Latin American field would do well to consult this highly academic series of reports of this meeting held in Havana, with papers published in Mexico, so you fear no violation of the continued 45 year USA war of attrition against that tiny island in the purchase of this valuable tome.
This book studies present ecclesialogical developments in Latin America, as tied to the new monopolistic and multi-national corporate global economy in particular, in the typically highly academic style of Cuban scholastic papers. The book is polyglot and thus of interest to any reader. Although the vast majority of articles are in Spanish, Portuguese is also represented as well as two in English.
One such English-only article is the learned yet lively piece by Andrew Chestnut of the University of Houston's Department of History entitled, Faith in the Free Market: Prospering in Latin America's New Religious Economy.
Chestnut cleverly uses free market models to describe how sects and congregations compete for the spiritual consumer in Latin America, some of course known to have CIA backing (though not mentioned here). He alludes to the predictable disappearance of the Catholic Base Communities which twenty years ago brought hope for economic equality and justice to the poorest of the poor in LAtin America but whose greatest voices and leaders such as Archbishop Romero were either silenced by US bullets or like the Boffs and Bishop Pedro Casaldaliga silenced by Ratzinger in Rome, thus cutting off the Catholic nose to spite its face, leaving the mission field open to non-Catholic congregations. Rome preferred at that dark hour to turn the field over to other observances that supporting its own most effective and just and Christian workers. For more on this please read Cox's Silencing of Leonardo Boff and the Writings of Bishop Pedro Casaldaliga available hear on the amazon.
For a flavor of this important and insightful article by Chestnut, permit to briefly quote one or two paragraphs.
"In a competitive religious economy, such as the one that has developed in Latin America over the past half-century, there is no place for the type of shoddy products that lazy religious monopolists produce for a market guaranted by state coercion. THe invisible hand of the free religious market is as unforgiving with religious firms as it is with their commercial counterparts (Finke and Stark, 1992, 17). If, for example, religious consumers demonstrate a strong taste for more participatory types of faith (as they actually have in Latin America), those religions that restrict lay participation will either have to modify their products or face marginalization or even extinction."
Thus when Ratzinger republishes old speeches under the title "Handing on the faith in a time of disbelief" he must ask himself who sowed the disbelief in silencing the greatest Catholic voices (including the Sandinista) twenty years ago, sending the faithful to seek solace in other sects. In Latin America of twenty years ago the most hopeful development in line with Pope Paul VI's Populorum Progressio, etc., was the development of Base COmmunities, which built cooperative ventures in order to ease the grinding and hopeless poverty of those (and worse these) times. Yet through the encroachment of other sects of mysterious and hidden controllers the emphasis is no longer on our physical well-being, as urged by Saint James as well as by Jesus, but of a nebulous charismatic nature. Wojtyla's public scolding of the genuflecting Father Ernesto Cardenal in Managua sent a powerful and chilling message thorughout the Latin American Church, as did the unresponded martydom of Archbishop Romero who was so closely allied to the poor. Under WOjtyla and ratzinger peace, justice and opportunity for the poor would no longer be an issue. Thus after a discussion of the disappearing base communities "which, more explicitly and (self-)consciously than any other Latin American reoligious group, have adopted a 'preferential option for the poor' . . ." Chestnut concludes:
"At present, the type of liberation theology that predominates in the region is the kind practiced by Pentecostals and Catholic Charismatics, in which liberation (liberacion in Spanish) is conceived of not as freedom from socioeconomic and political bondage, but as deliverance from demonic spirits, or exorcism." (pages 216 ff.) Thus we see Catholicism and Christianity no longer fulfilling its meaning, message and mission of relief for the poor and the liberation in a very real sense of the oppressed, but reduced to a mere "opiate of the people," pleasing and confirming thereby only the Marxists for whom this definition or religion is classic, while they alone quote and make real the actual words of St. Paul and the Acts of Apostles: "From each by their gifts; to each by their needs" - the true heart of real Christian economics.
This book in sum is essential for anyone wishing clear insight into the present state of the "spiritual economy" of Latin America and for a new model in which to imagine our competing yet self-proclaimed "Christian" sects at work anywhere in the world, inclduing within the USA as they are bribed by Bush's so-called "faith-based initiatives" or bullied like our Church with threats of seriously debilitating and silencing lawsuits.
