Book Description
Perspective is easy; yet, surprisingly few artists know the simple rules that make it so. Now they can remedy that situation with this step-by-step book, the first devoted entirely to clarifying the laws of perspective. Using over 250 simple line drawings, the author leads the reader through every important concept. 256 illustrations.

Precision drawing basics........2007-01-09
This is a book that teaches precision drawing. It is easy to read in that the text seems like it is written for elementary school age, but at the same time it doesn't "talk down". It's just simple and direct. This would be an excellent book for a kid (age 10 or so) or an adult to learn about the basics of drawing - vanishing points, eye level, horizon line. At the end of each chapter is a "Remember" section which reviews the main points covered in the chapter and a "Problems" section which is a list of exercises to do to practice what was taught in the chapter. Another plus is that this book covers Perspective Downhill, Perspective Uphill, Reflections, and Mechanical Perspective which I have not come across elsewhere.
Although it does a great job in explaining what the basics are and has many very good illustrations, compared to other books it lacks in explaining the exact mechanics of what to do when you draw your own drawing (e.g. how to use your pencil to figure out angles and lengths).
Bottom line is that because of the simple explanations and the unique topics covered this, I want this book in my art book library. However, this is more of a supplemental book. If you're looking for only one book that will teach you to draw, it would be better to get a different book such as Perspective Without Pain by Philip W. Metzger or Drawing Sharp Focus Still Lifes by Robert Zappalorti.
Wonderful little book........2006-11-14
A wonderful understandable little book on the basics of perspective. It is not meant to be overly technical, rather it's goal seems to be to aide artists quickly through the most common perspective issues and then some.
A promise that is fulfilled........2006-11-12
As a representational painter I find that a sound knowledge of perspective is of paramount importance and I cannot blame modernist art enough for the damage it has done to generations of painters by ignoring and teaching to ignore perspective .
Over the years I have collected an impressive number of books about perspective, from 15th century manuals to modern textbooks. All of them are fascinating but rather complex and tend to discourage the reader after a few chapters.
Norling's book, on the contrary, is beautifully simple without being superficial. It teaches the aspiring artist all the tricks with a simple language and without burdening him or her with exceedingly complicated rules and formulas. It is equally useful to the experienced artist that wants to refresh some difficult points.
An honest book that delivers all that it promises, that is how to make perspective easy.
Artist's review.......2006-11-10
I bought this book, because, as an artist, I was having trouble putting the right perspectives on my paintings. Perspectives have always seemed difficult to me, so I was looking forward to finding a text that would be able to educate me on this subject quickly and easily. This book fills the bill. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get up to speed on perspectives.
Excellent!... It's my #2 choice in my Top 5 perspective books..........2006-11-08
Simple & effective! These drawings might look somewhat dated, but there's a consistent *simplicity* to the style & teaching here that really grew on me over time. Simplicity is the *main* reason I like it now. So many books get overly complicated or provide lots of information that may be good but not really necessary. This book keeps very much to the point. And it's surprisingly effective! Created in 1939- not many books can survive the test of time like this. Still, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the only perspective book you'll ever need, and as much as I like this, I have other favorites too. My current Top 5 perspective books: Perspective Drawing Handbook; Perspective Made Easy; Perspective! for Comic Book Artists; Basic Perspective Drawing: A Visual Guide, 4th edition; and then Creative Perspective for Artists and Illustrators. All still available today!
Product Description

Benchley: Loveable grouch, satirist, social critic...and a fine humorist.......2007-04-04
Robert Benchley (1889-1945) was a hugely popular humorist, drama critic, and occasionally a film actor. All of the anthologies of Benchley's essays will give delight to readers having an interest in the social fabric of pre-1950 America. This collection of his sketches is funny and insightful of the times, including political and social issues of the era. It is worth reading, as are any of his earlier collection of humorous sketches, including 'Of All Things' (1921), 'From Bed to Worse' (1934), 'My Ten Years in a Quandary' (1936), 'Inside Benchley' (1941), and 'Benchley Beside Himself' (1943). Benchley was a loveable grouch, a satirist, and in insightful social critic...and a fine comedic actor. He was an American original who work can delight with light humor and satire.
The best humor from the best humorist.......1999-06-29
If you're looking for nasty, biting humor, don't look here. Mr. Benchley's charm lay in his--dare I say--kinder and gentler humor. Unlike his colleague Mrs. Parker, he never insulted or hurt people; he made fun of himself and examined foibles we all share. What a sweet, funny man, and what a wonderful collection of his works.

The Perfect Crash Course.......2005-08-26
Winning Proposals: How to Write Them and Get Results is an excellent self-training book. The content is engaging and easy to read! The topics discussed are relavant and provide the appropriate level of insight into mastering the art of writing proposals. I've already recommended the book to several business associates who also found it extremely helpful.

Book Description
The purpose of this book is to address one of the most rapidly growing and important areas in the field of organization development. Despite its importance, relatively little is known about international and global organization development. This book is designed to summarize and apply the existing knowledge in international and global organization development in such a fashion as to provide insight, knowledge, and application in a way that is most helpful to the organization development professional who is interested in, or working in, the field. The book incorporates models of cultural differences, which are identified and expanded in terms of the implications for the practice of organization development. (1) It explores cultural values in terms of differences in resistance to change, the nature of leadership roles, organizational structure and the application of such organization development techniques as team building, survey feedback, job redesign, and large group methods. (2) It explore successes in both developed and developing countries. (3) It provides a list of competencies both for basic knowledge and skills and their extension to international work. It explores the match between organization development interventions and national cultural values. (4) It explores the role of economic development and legal and political structures for global organization development practitioners. It deals with the issue of culture specific versus universal organization development techniques. (5) It incorporates stories from pioneers in the field as well as more recent members of the organization development community. (6) It uses illustrations from award-winning international projects. (7) It draws on a substantial amount of work undertaken by the authors including over one hundred interviews with leading organization development professionals, surveys of organization development professionals, articles and books on international/global organization development and the authors' own international research including an awardwinning international case.
