8th Edition:.......2006-03-06
This book is, as far as I can tell, the same as the 8th Edition. The only difference is the cover of the book. Page numbers are the same, pictures are all the same. I accidentally purchased the wrong book, but turned out it worked just fine and I paid 1/10th of the price.
too much highlighting.......2005-09-25
From the outside, the book appeared to be in great condition, but when I opened it, it was full of highlighting on almost every line of every page. I guess I will not be able to sell it back at a reasonable price. Had I known that it was full of highligting, I probably would not have purchased it.

ARTFORMS.......2002-01-24
Last semester i had taken a visual arts course at my college, Artforms was the text that we use and that the school still uses. If you are wanting to familiarize yourself with past and modern works of art from all cultures then this is a complete introduction to the reasoning behind specific artforms. After reading it you will get an overall gist of what art was in societies before ours and how it continues to live on and how it is viewed in present day societies.
Want to know about art? This is the book.......2000-10-18
This book deserves to be in any person's library. It tells you the different thecnics of painting, the differents colors, how they divide, how to recognize the paintings. If you are studiying art or just like it, you must get this book.

Product Description
From the First Edition in 1972, ARTFORMS has been as visually exciting as the individual works of art that are reproduced in it. ARTFORMS grew out of a desire to introduce art through an engaging visual experience. It is written and designed to help readers build an informed foundation for individual understanding and enjoyment of art. By introducing art theory, practice, and history in a single volume, this book aims to draw students into a new or expanded awareness of the visual arts. The goal is to engage readers in the process of realizing their own innate creativity. In the new, Eighth Edition, the title has been modified to Prebles' ARTFORMS, acknowledging the pioneering contribution of the original authors, Duane and Sarah Preble, to the study of art. Their vision and spirit have touched hundreds of thousands of students who have studied ARTFORMS.

worthless.......2007-09-09
This is absolutely not needed for the course. This book just has art pictures with blank lines beside it for the student to fill in notes. Any person can just underline in the actually college text and get the same effect. It was a waste of money!

Book Description
This extraordinarily comprehensive, well-documented, biographical dictionary of some 1,500 photographers (and workers engaged in photographically related pursuits) active in western North America before 1865 is enriched by some 250 illustrations, many of them previously unpublished.
The territory covered stretches from Alaska through Central America, and embraces all of the present-day states of the United States that fall, at least partially, west of the Continental Divide. The work is distinguished by the sheer number of entries, by the engaging quality of the biographical narratives that cover both the professional and personal lives (wherever possible) of the subjects, and by the careful, detailed documentation. It will be an indispensable reference work for historians, libraries, institutions with collections of early western photographs, and many enthusiasts and collectors in the field.
In addition to photographers, the book includes retouchers, printers, manufacturers and sellers of photographic instruments and stock, publishers, lithographers, and engravers. Since western photographs often figured prominently in the creation of moving panoramas and popular optical amusements such as dioramas and magic lantern shows, the people behind those exhibitions are also covered.
Far from being simply a reference tool, this book provides a rich trove of fascinating reading with a colorful cast of characters, including: Epifania de Guadalupe Vallejo, a teenaged Mexican girl who was the earliest known daguerrotypist on the West Coast; John Charles Frémont, who attempted to photograph the Rocky Mountains in 1842; John Wesley Jones, whose adventures while photographing and sketching the California Trail included the indignity of being stripped of his clothes by Crow Indians; and the eccentric Frederick Coombs, an accomplished photographer who was convinced he was the reincarnation of George Washington.

Enhanced with around 250 illustrations.......2001-05-18
Pioneer Photographers Of The Far West 1840-1865 is an impressive and unique compendium of some 1500 photographers, retouchers, printers, manufacturers and sellers of photographic instruments and stock, publishers, lithographers, and engravers who were active in western North America prior to 1865. Enhanced with around 250 illustrations (many of them published here for the first time), this meticulously researched and scholastically rigorous biographical reference is a definitive, exhaustive, authoritative, and documented contribution to the study of the early years of photographic history in general, and photography as it was first introduced to the western frontier in particular.
A Remarkable Work.......2001-03-31
Seldom is a work of historical significance of such magnitude written in our generation. The pages come alive with the exquisite prose of Mr. Kailbourn. Tales of those that have come before us are given a new breath of life. This is a tome that all serious students of history should have under their mantles. This is a book that should be placed each night near the pillow as one sleeps. Enough with that Harry Potter twit and how many more letters of the alphabet must Sue Grafton exploit before we shall rise up and say no more. Well then say no more and order this book. P.S. Any relationship between this reviewer and the author is not a coincidence.

It's filled with Post-It Notes.......2006-02-08
My copy of The Popcorn Report provided the inspiration for a complete marketing/media proposal. I filled it with Post-It Notes while consuming it on a flight to see the client and I re-wrote my presentation that night. It was integral in solidifying my relationship with the client. Great book!
One of the Top 3 Marketing Books Ever Written.......2004-06-01
Have you ever met someone who's been to one-too-many Tony Robbins seminars? It's like listening to a parrot. Most marketing books, in my opinion, are like that; compilations of what's already been said by someone else. The exceptions to this rule - the great breakthrough books - are Ogilvy on Advertising, The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, and The Popcorn Report.
Originally published in 1991, some would call it "dated." These people are idiots. In one of her closing chapters, Ms. Popcorn very presciently describes email and e-commerce, calling them "screenmail" and "infobuying" though neither had yet been invented. Heck, in 1991 we weren't even using the word "internet." It would be another 3 years before anyone was even talking about "The Information Super-Highway."
The Popcorn Report is one of the great books of original thought and Faith Popcorn deserves a spot in the Marketing Hall of Fame. Buy the book. It will stretch your mind by showing you how we got to where we are.
Great Read.......2003-10-13
When I began reading this book I was doubtful that the trends and predictions of this book would be relevant ten years after it was written. I was pleasantly surprised in that these trends are still very relevant to our world today. A great book to get a perspective on how to deal with trends and changes in society, with fantastic real-world, simple examples. I would definitely recommend this book, and I look forward to reading more of Faith Popcorn.
Still handy, great for beginners, horrible cover though.......2001-10-17
Very light reading which is interesting if u r just starting out on sociology stuff. The thing abt this 10 yr old book is that u should think how it applies to the Now, especially in a global playground. Use it as a spark that pushes u to think further. Horrible cover though. Looks like a lame self-help book. But fun stuff to read.
10 years old and still brilliant.......2000-07-06
How often do you read a business book, 10 years old, and still find yourself underlining, and underlining, and..you get the point. The specific trends Faith shares and the ideas she offers for solutions are insightful, creating an easy sense of trust and confidence in her industry wisdom. They are simple and readily observable all around us. She describes her research strategy which anyone can implement, and would be a fool not to. This book is ideal for business owners, entrepreneurs and especially for those who haven't made the jump yet. By the way, if you consider yourself to be a young entrpreneur or plan to be one soon, I suggest, The Young Entrepreneur's Edge, by Jennifer Kushell.
Book Description
This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a “borderless world”, cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market. In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another. In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world\'s major cities for "popcorn" for the year 2007. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales. For many items, latent demand is clearly observable in sales, as in the case for food or housing items. Consider, however, the category "satellite launch vehicles". Clearly, there are no launch pads in most cities of the world. However, the core benefit of the vehicles (e.g. telecommunications, etc.) is "consumed" by residents or industries within the world\'s cities. Without certain cities, in other words, the market for satellite launch vehicles would be lower for the world in general. One needs to allocate, therefore, a portion of the worldwide economic demand for launch vehicles to both regions and cities. This report takes the broader definition and considers, therefore, a city as a part of the global market.

From the supplier: A report by FIND/SVP Inc shows that retail sales of microwavable foods sold in the US in 1992 totals over $2.4 billion. Among the microwavable foods, frozen breakfast and popcorn products accounted for more than half of the total sales. Although the overall market grew from 1989 to 1992, the report shows that the actual growth rates decelerated drastically since 1991. Analysis of the current trends shows that the market is in for a tough time.

Book Description
A collection of papers presented at the Eleventh Annual Political Economy of the World-System Conference, this volume illustrates the degree to which fundamental processes of the world-system entail racist and sexist practices. The contributors have taken as their focus the attempt to both explain--in social, political, or historical terms--the pervasiveness of racism and sexism and trace the relationship between the two and the organization of the contemporary political economy. Taken together, their papers offer a more coherent treatment of the problem than has heretofore been available. By integrating an understanding of racial and sexual oppression with that of other processes that constitute the world-economy they offer new insights into the workings of the world-system and new hope for concerted efforts to eliminate racism and sexism. Many of the essays included here take the form of theoretically informed case studies. Detailed historical works explore such issues as labor force formation in the New York garment industry in the late 19th and early 20th century and competition in the world textile industry in the latter half of the 1880s. A critical analysis of the construction of census categories and an examination of the myths of differential ethnic success provide real-world examples of discrimination and its effects. A number of papers focus on the implications of our understanding of racial and sexual oppression for political struggle, while others assess the impact of women's exclusion from the workforce on power relationships in the home. Two major theoretical pieces address the issues in more general terms, emphasizing the circumstances under which racism and sexism are created and recreated in various contexts. Taken as a whole, the volume provides a necessary and enlightening re-examination of the role of race and gender in the world-economy.
