Book Description

The Sèvres porcelain in the Royal Collection ranks as the finest in the world. This volume, the first of a three-volume catalogue of the Sèvres belonging to Her Majesty The Queen, is devoted exclusively to the Louis XVI service. The service was commissioned by Louis XVI in 1783, but was still only half-completed at the time of the King’s execution ten years later. The bulk of the service was acquired by George IV in 1811 and thus passed into the Royal Collection, housed at Windsor Castle. The Louis XVI service was the most expensive service of soft-paste porcelain ever produced at Sèvres in the eighteenth century. Because of its exceptional character it has been possible to reconstitute the history of its manufacture and to establish the precise contributions of the artists involved. A major part of the catalogue is devoted to the identification of the sources which served as models for the scenes drawn from antiquity and mythology reproduced in the reserves.

Book Description

This is exactly what the many photographers who are venturing into the digital world for the first time have been looking for: an easy-to-follow, well-illustrated manual that provides them with all the knowledge they need to take great digital photographs. And PCPhoto editor Rob Sheppard is the perfect person to guide beginners. In simple language, he gives a quick overview of what to expect from the digital camera; offers indispensable information on shooting techniques, cameras, printers, and accessories; and expertly unravels the confusion over formats and file sizes, lens conversion factors, media cards, downloading pictures, and the basics of getting a good print. Anyone who has just acquired a camera or ink jet printer, or is in the market for one, will find this indispensable.

Customer Reviews:

An excellent introduction.......2005-04-26

This book is the best I have seen for providing a succinct but comprehensive overview of digital photography methods and equipment for the beginner. It is easy to find what you want to learn about and copiously illustrated. Because it is just published, the equipment and technique information is up to date. The author's writing style is "just right" for conveying needed and useful information without overwhelming you with nuances. It is a perfect supplement to your camera's manual and it is only $7.95! I am going to look into more of Rob Sheppard's books on photography.

Book Description

500 years ago in the Tensho Era of Japan, a man was born who defied the will of a demon; a man who had the gods of good on his side; a man destined to battle evilhis name was Kabuto. Somehow, Kuroyasha Douki, the vile Black Night Demon, escaped his prison in hell and returned to the earthly plane to wreak vengeance on the family-line of Kabuto. None can escape his deadly magic and masterful skills with the blade; however, the gods of the North, West, East and South band together to help Kabuto stand for justice. With the questionable help of a diabolical talking sword that his own father forged, Kabuto may live another day to see his own sons born

Curious.......2004-03-16

Does it seem strange to anyone that all of the 26 reviews for this book sound exactly the same? Almost like the same person wrote all of the reviews.......or coached others on how to write them.....hmmm...

Motivational and definitely life changing.......2002-11-30

I've ready many books on how to get the life you want but by far this is the best yet. Easy to read, there's little exercises to do to get you thinking and she even provides ideas for making more. Brilliant. If you know you're not living your best life, then this book will really get you going in the right direction with motivation. Get it!!!

Great Book! Very Impressive!.......2002-03-02

I have read a lot of books on how to be successful--from these books I learned it takes hard work to make money. But what about life? Having a balanced life yet still making lots of money seems impossible--from all the reading I had so far.

Then when I pick up this tape I was really suspicious. After I listened to the 1st tape, I absolutely LOVE it! Absolutely fantastic! I found myself talking this to myself (happily): Paraphrase: Do what you'are best at (your "brilliance") and "Laser day/support day/free day" building momentum theory, 80/20 focus phylosophy (this is not new, but it's nice to hear it from a different person again in a different way of explanation), delegate, duplicate, saying no (I said no to a meeting that does not let me focus on my brilliance--yes, I'm so happy!!!), when is enough for adding value(talking about a sincere wise phylosophy!!), free up space and time to focus on your brilliance, write journal. All in all, it confirms my own beliefs that when you have a life besides work you can sustain your brilliance better than overly working. I haven't finished the tape now, I'm on Innovation now. She said most of people think they are not innovative. But you are, everybody are. If you think you are, you are! Using a new way of doing things better, that's innovative! You don't have a dead soul...

Some of the suggestions are not new, a few examples are not that convincing, yet, those are so minor!!! Nobody or no book/tape is perfect--this tape are exceptional!

The Answer.......2001-11-10

If you keep asking yourself, how can I make more money, how can I can have more time, how can I do more things that I enjoy - then this book will give you the answer you are looking for. I have read dozens of business/career books and not until I read this book did I say to myself "Oh, of course, that is what I should do". In fact, I look at my life now as pre- and post- Work Less Make More! You should buy enough copies for all your friends and family.

Book Description

This book is not for advertising and design professionals. It is for all those involved with building and defining their own brand, for those who know that brand management is crucial, but don't know how to go about it. Good brand management is the route to getting the brand to work harder and to make its proper mark. Any brand, new or old, must be managed, nurtured, exploited and, when necessary, changed. Good brand and business managers must understand what a brand is, what it can do for them and how it supports the strategic goals of the business. Good brand managers must also direct and co-ordinate the wide and daunting variety of tasks and experts involved in making brand strategy happen. HOW COME YOUR BRAND ISN`T WORKING? tackles this challenge head on. Peppered with fascinating real-life examples (good and bad), and a brand health checklist, any manager will benefit from Cheverton's pragmatic advice on positing, targeting and implementation.
