4 out of 5 stars Kandinsky, Complete Writings on Art.......2007-03-09

A densely translated book. A must have reference for any artist's library.

5 out of 5 stars An essential rendering of the artistic machinery........2006-08-06

This book deserves a commanding coign of vantage on the shelf of any reader desiring a deeper understanding of the creative process. In extending its reach beyond the requisite inclusion of Kandinsky's On the Spiritual in Art and Point and Line to Plane, the work embraces nearly 900 pages of life-giving insight by the master and driving force of nonobjective art.

To cast a light on any one Kandinsky commentary is to risk a plunge of the whole into shadow. We nevertheless salute in general the author's reflections on his fellow artists, for as Kandinsky finds characteristics to praise he provides a refreshing view of art's operating mechanisms. To select but a single example, in a charming commentary on the paintings of musician Arnold Schoenberg the author skewers the popular idea that an artist achieves full realization through a discovery of a "corresponding form" recognizable to all comers. In fact, it is the very discovery of what Kandinsky calls a "dying form" which is to the artist "fatal." As for the converse, the artist who produces an ever-changing series of works representing in their form the development of a more sensitive and robust inner soul discovers, ironically, his works condemned for a lack of stylistic conformance. And so, says Kandinsky, "the dead passes for the living, and vice versa." Schoenberg, the author assures us, is one of the living for in each of his disparate works "the inner desire of the artist speaks forth in a form appropriate to it."

If Kandinsky's control of the linguistic levers fails to rise to a degree of calibration one imagines appropriate to the vital topic, and if the author very often satisfies himself with the bold proposition which arrests the reader and inspires a healthy suspicion as to a deliberate reduction of the author's encircling vision, his conclusions are fired by a robust soul attuned to the finest strands of the real, and it only remains to add that in terms of abstraction this work must to the archway of understanding provide a requisite keystone.

5 out of 5 stars Modern Art: A Wealth of Primary Sources.......2004-01-11

This book is as thorough of a collection of writings by an individual as you will ever find. Including every major treatise, essay, and book by Kandisky, it goes a few steps further with every Kandisky poem (English and German translations) and play. Moreover, the book includes innumerable pamphlets and the like from the earlier late-Expressionist exhibits; also incorporated are several corrspondances between Kandinsky and contemporaries, particularly atonal composer Arnold Schoenburg--illuminating how each other's theories were mutually related and held a reciprocal influence. A little known fact, Schoenburg himself was a non-objective painter--photos of his works are among these pages, as well! Before each section is a contextual introduction to that particular writing. And much much more.

5 out of 5 stars Indispensable.......1999-03-22

An obligatory text for any visual, aural, or literary artist, and a necessity for any true understanding of the nature of artistic creation.

          5 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF ROSES!.......2006-03-23

          I'm a florist and I really enjoy using this book when I'm meeting with Wedding clients. It displays a large variety of different types of roses-great for the people who think of a rose as a single, red stem.

          5 out of 5 stars Wow...this is a great book.......2006-02-09

          I heard of this book while flipping through a magazine.

          Decided to give it a try and I love it. If you love having flowers in your home, than you have to have this book. The author really knows her stuff, and I love the pictures.

          5 out of 5 stars not just another pretty flower book.......2005-06-25

          The photographs are so pretty. I gave several as a gift at a lunch the other day. However, the best thing about this little book is the information about roses and how to arrange them. It also provides names of every rose used and good alternatives to garden roses which are not readily available from my florist. I was able to overcome my fear of doing flowers for the first party in my new house! My husband thinks I should change careers.

                      Book Description

                      In Chains of Destruction, the sequel to 2001's Chains of Freedom: Three years have passed. The New Alliance has successfully kept the Reliance out of zone 2-A and has set up a new government. After a few initial problems, the new country is running like a well-oiled machine. Jessica Kirk fell from grace in the Reliance's eyes and jumped planet, successfully disappearing without a trace. With no hope of settling her score with Kirk and no battles to fight, RJ becomes restless. She is a genetically engineered humanoid created and trained for war, with nothing to keep her mind occupied but her grief and uncertainty about her real place in the universe. To ease the pain in her heart and the confusion in her mind, RJ decides to go on a quest to the planet of her maternal origin, the planet Argy, in the hope of enlisting the Argy's help in further campaigns against the Reliance. She hopes to go alone except for her robotic brother Poley but soon finds that Topaz, David and Levites will not be left behind. As they are hijacking a Reliance ship they uncover a Reliance conspiracy and soon find themselves charting a course for an obscure, mostly inhospitable planet called Beta 4. The conflicts they must face will either be their redemption or their undoing.

                      5 out of 5 stars Book 2 of 3.......2003-08-01

                      Three years have passed since the New Alliance won their freedom in zone 2-A. A new government had been set in place. Jessica Kirk had disappeared without a trace. Therefore, everything ran beautifully.

                      RJ had nothing to do each day except remember her pain and the death of those who had been so close to her. Restless, she decided to go on a quest to a planet called "Argy" in hope of enlisting their help in further campaigns against the Reliance. Poley, Topaz, David, and Levites went along.

                      The Reliance had been trading radioactive gold to Beta 4's King and Priests in exchange for the best Hunters and Warriors. The Reliance called them "livestock" and planned to use them at the front lines of the war with the New Alliance on Earth.

                      Janad was a female warrior from Beta 4. She knew what the Reliance planned and refused to be a pawn. She teamed up with RJ and her crew. Thus began the battle to free Beta 4 and to keep a new army of warriors from attacking zone 2-A's new government.

                      ***** Even better than the first, titled "Chains of Freedom"! David's character matured as he slowly redeemed himself. Janad, the warrior woman, was fascinating! She was like having a second RJ around who looked at things in a different view-point.

                      Readers also get to see how the members of the Reliance feels about everything. Not many are happy and want to help the New Alliance out. RJ's team gets a few new members and some serious butt kicking begins! *****

                      What do you know, a Book 2 that's as good as Book 1. It's been nearly a year since I've read the first book in this series, and I didn't miss a beat, and even if I hadn't read the first one, this one would've been just fine on its own.

                      This book was a great adventure of action and humor, taking us on the next step in RJ's life with a little surprise at the end.

                      But that's all you're getting from me.

                      This is a fantastic book, and I'm absolutely amazed that it is out of print. McCormack is a lawyer-turned-businessman, who built a business from scratch that placed him on the FORBES 400. So if there's a businessman who knows legal matters enough to help the average businessman, he's it. He gives advice I don't think you'd find anywhere else, and gives it in a very readable and often entertaining form. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

                        One other example for reality (truth - considering the author!)being far more riveting than fiction! The decay of american Law (and society, for that matter) is traced back to how a profession betrayed itself! The "Miranda" debacle of Bobby K. started the real breakdown. An entire virtual industry emerged from it and corroded the integrity of not only the legal profession, but dragged down with it also the medical one into a "profit-sharing" business! BRAVO! Mr. Mayer should team up with other disillusioned professionals to create similar eposes!

                        5 out of 5 stars A perfect gift.......2007-09-13

                        I managed to find this book by accident, but the second I saw it I thought it was a must have for my girl friends up and coming birthday. With the price being only $10 and the whole idea I just found to be appealing.

                        When her birthday did come around she of course got all her gifts, but this one remained wrapped until the end. When she first opened it she looked at the title and then checked out the back (she told me she thought it looked interesting, knowing I would not pick out something dumb). After a quick look through, she flipped it open and it took her a second, but she got the joke.

                        She absolutely loved it. I defiantly recommend this to anyone with a lawyer friend, boss or family member.

                        I have several friends who are lawyers and I have given each one them a copy. This book is very funny, especially for those lawyers with a dry wit.

                            Book Description

                            Adverse effects of drugs are a constant source of medical problems but also of professional and legal confrontations. More than a quarter of all malpractice suits brought against physicians or other health professionals revolve around drug injury; for drug manufacturers, civil cases brought by patients are growing problem. Where conflicts do not reach the courts they are often the subject of settlements or of decisions taken by professional disciplinary councils. Uniguely, this book analysis and documents the responsibilities which all parties bear in law and ethics to render drug treatment as safe as it can be, and the liability whidh arises when injury is siffered. Special attention is devoted to the apportionment of liability, where faults may have been made by more than one party, and to the establishment of facts in a field where the evidence is likely to be heavily challenged. The pproach is global, since drugs, their makers and their users are much the same across the world; what is more systems of law and ethics have borrowed solutions from one another, while in some parts of the world - notably in consultations between the United States, Europe and Japan, medicinal policies and regulations are fast being harmonized. Contents: Six chapters in the book document the general medical and legal background to drug safety and injury; seven set out the duties and liability of the parties concerned ranging from health professionals through governments and institutions to the patient himself. Eight chapters provide in-depth guidance on special issues including drug injury to the unborn child, vaccines, liability in alternative medicine and existing compensation schemes.

                                  From the supplier: The author discusses Steven Lubet's review of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and presents another perspective on Atticus Finch, the main character in the work. The author believes that Atticus Finch is a laudable character because Finch adhered to legal ethics and presented the best defense while staying within legal and ethical bounds, and not because of Finch's personal morality or his recognition of social biases.

                                        Instead of approaching cultural theory as a set of pronouncements to be learned, this book considers why lecturers, students and cultural producers and consumers outside the University system might all want to theorize what culture is and how it works. Taking its cue from J L Austin's infamous How to Do Things With Words, which argued that language doesn't just reflect the world but is used to achieve things in the world, this book approaches cultural theory as something to be used, performed, adapted, transformed and created in new contexts by its own consumer-producers. How To Do Things With Cultural Theory considers how key theories have been constructed and written, treating theory as a text to be analyzed. What narratives recur across different cultural theories? And what does it mean to construct one's cultural identity as a "theorist"? Addressing the cultural and subcultural identities that "theory" generates and sustains, this book asks what desires, fantasies, ideals and politics drive people to become "cultural theorists." As well as analyzing the production and circulation of theory, this book also tackles the thorny question of how best to read theory. Despite being what lecturers and students spend much of their time doing, the act of reading theory has typically been taken for granted or rendered invisible within cultural theory itself.
