5 out of 5 stars Inspirational.......2007-02-07

I bought this book to stimulate creative ideas in order to develop a new logo and stationery for our company. I'm not sure if everyone will rave about our new logo as that is a matter of individual taste, but I believe it's a 100% improvement over the old one.

This book did a great job of inspiring new ideas and reaffirming personal tastes. Plus, looking at neat logos, business cards, and letterhead in one compilation can spark casual conversation amongst strangers, friends and family since everyone has an opinion, right? For that reason alone, this would make an excellent coffee table book.

4 out of 5 stars Great Logo's! .......2006-07-25

This is a great book with great logo's in it. I was captivated as I flipped through the pages. However, it does not give you any information as to how a particular design company came up with a clients logo. It is strictly just logo designs and nothing more. But facinating work.

5 out of 5 stars Awsome.......2006-03-04

This was a great book. I plan on buying the rest in the series. It is full of great work and really helped me get ideas for designing other business systems.

4 out of 5 stars The Culture A.D. Review.......2005-10-07

Book Description

The youngest captain in His Majesty's Navy, with a reputation for landing impossible assignments, Lord Ramage is dispatched to the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Diamond Rock. The mission seems humdrum: barricade the French within Fort Royal. But sent to sea in the Juno with a crew grown restless and undisciplined under the prior commmand of a drunk, Ramage realizes his vssel may not be up to battle with the French.

5 out of 5 stars Great rebound from #6.......2007-01-31

This is installment 7 of Dudley Pope's Nicholas Ramage series. It is heards and tails above #6. Ramage is the quintessential hero. The reader knows that Ramage will succeed in his endeavors. The fun part about these novels is finding out HOW Ramage will succeed. He has way too much success--almost Deus ex machina. The action and episodes in this novel are all interesting. The battles are described well and keep the reader's interest. As usual, though, there is really too much detail when Ramage has his men hoist some guns onto the top of a mountain. Pope, just let the guys get the guns up and start shooting at the Frogs! For that, this book get 4 and a half stars. But the rest of the book is great fun. I might add that the BBC chose the wrong story for its naval hero. The Ramage stories are much more interesting than Hornblower.

4 out of 5 stars Travelogue?.......2006-02-23

Pope gets a little too caught up in descriptions but when the action comes along..it's well done. Too bad he ended at #18

5 out of 5 stars Engineering mastrerpiece off Martinique.......2005-12-03

Based on historical events, this novel retells the story of a tremendous feat of martial engineering. Ramage captures frigates and schooners and builds his own fleet. Recognizing the importance of controlling the shipping lanes in and out of Fort de France, he manages to mount baterries on a huge towering rock, known as the Diamond. With the batteries and his ragtag fleet, he manages to defeat a much larger French fleet and supply convoy, sinking, burning or capturing the entire lot. The detail work is good, and the story moves well, never letting the readers interest lag. My personal favorite in the series.

5 out of 5 stars Almost too perfect.......2001-08-21

In which newly made Capt. Ramage buys arms, commands a slovenly ship, blockades Martinique and sees a diamond, removes a frigate, climbs a hill, and plots to devour a French fleet single-handedly in 1804. Ramage, like Hornblower, has a depth of character best revealed in their moments of introspection. But while Hornblower doubts his own courage, Ramage knows courage is a facade put up for the encouragement of others. I found the most fascinating passages were on pp. 259-263, where we get an outsider's view of Ramage and feel the effect of the meticulous planning that is the essence of inspiring leadership. It is likely these passages embody the secret of Lord Cochrane's astonishing successes as a winner who, like Ramage, didn't do it over the dead bodies of his men (the historic Lord Cochrane [1775-1860] being the inspiration for much of British naval fiction). As always Pope's descriptions are clear and precise, but here supplemented with diagrams of a jackstay lift for the central hill-climbing business.

The reader might want to know that this is really the first of several books dealing continuously with Ramage's renewed adventures in the West Indies (but a separate cycle from his W. Indian adventures in vols 2-4). Although this is a pretty complete story unto itself, if you've already read this far in the series (you did, didn't you?) there's no way you won't want to move immediately after this to MUTINY. Proofing is a little sloppy in a series that is doing the McBooks imprint proud.

3 out of 5 stars Fanciful Fiction.......2001-05-23

While most writers of historical fiction place their characters in the context of real events, in this case Dudley Pope has substituted Ramage for Commodore Samuel Hood. After preliminaries, the main action takes place at Martinique in the summer of 1804. Ramage is sent to blockade the island and, in the process, fortifies the Diamond Rock (Hood's actual accomplishment that year). Some of the writing goes into extreme detail (e.g., Pope's reconstruction of the probable means Hood used to place guns on top the rock), and some is larger than life, perhaps too much so (Ramage's action against a French convoy). There are some editorial glitches, e.g., a statement that men would be excluded from sharing in prize money when earlier in the story they had participated in the action that captured a frigate.

On an historical note, the Diamond Rock was commissioned and carried on the Royal Navy books as a sloop. It was surrendered to a French fleet in 1805 when the British crew on the rock ran out of water (see W. P. Gosset, "The Lost Ships of the Royal Navy, 1793-1900").

                              Book Description

                              This book reveals the social logic of the medieval rituals of reconciliation as showcased by the most potent rite, the kiss of peace. Ritual is presented as a contested ground on which individuals, groups, and political and moral authorities competed for and appropriated political sovereignty. The thesis of the study is that by employing ritual and bodily mnemonics as strategic tools, the forces of order and official morality strove to organize personality structures around a hegemonic value system. Researching three analytical fields—the legal bonds of peace, the emotional economy of ritual, and the building of identity—the book highlights the contents and evolution of ritual reconciliation in diverse cultural contexts in the period between the eleventh and the sixteenth centuries.

                                Book Description

                                Since the mid-1980s, broadcasting in the Federal Republic of Germany has been extensively reregulated. The traditional duopoly of the public broadcasters ARD and ZDF has been challenged by new private networks in both radio and television. In two historic judgements handed down in 1986 and 1987, the Federal Constitutional Court set out terms for a new dual order of private and public broadcasting. But how were the guidelines of the court interpreted in practice?

                                Pluralism, Politics and the Marketplace traces the economic and political influences which shaped the policies of the West German telecommunications authority, the Deutscher Bundespost, in expanding the broadcasting infrastructure. The analyze the political background to the 1987 Inter-Land Treaty which created a new dual order in broadcasting and the economic rationale of the Federal Cartel Office, the Bundeskartellamt, in regulating competition between public and private broadcasters. Finally, the authors examine the influence of the European Community on German broadcasting policy, including the decisions of the Competition Directorate of the EC Commission, the EC Directive on Transfrontier Television Broadcasting of October 1989, and the proposals of the European Commission on Audiovisual Policy.
