The book missing the content.......2005-09-02
The pages of the content are ripped off. The pen writtings are all over the book. It is in a such bad shape that sometimes it is hard to make out the words. I have received the book in awful condition, even for the used book.
Good book, but with errors and no apparent support........2001-11-15
I'm a college ESL instructor, and am a bit frustrated. This book has some good exercises, and is very good, but it DOES have errors, and no web site or phone number is given for support. In these Internet-intensive days, a support web site should be a given! I've got to correct students' homework now, seeing if they found the 8 grammatical errors in the given paragraph; I can only find 7! I wish there were someone to contact.

Good communicative grammar text.......2000-04-26
Focus on Grammar is a good text with communicative and contextual grammar activities. It's sometimes not as detailed as other books, such as Azar's grammar series. However, it has the best balance of any. The explanations are easy for the students to understand. Finally, the CD-ROMs that go along with it, while not perfect, are the best that are currently available.

foggy on grammar.......2003-09-30
I'm agreeing with one of the reviews posted previously here. While FOG does give an in depth view into the grammar aspects of English, it does not do so in a concise manner, and I am surprised that no one has written this before. The presentation of the grammar aspects is done so in a confusing setting that, while it does present the material at least, does not do so in a manner beneficial to someone learning the language. There are tremendous amounts of errors in the book itself as well; this includes not only the editing itself but also the answer keys. I find I am often forced to skip exercises because they present contradictory material to the presentation given in the beginning of a chapter. Students who have studied English grammar intensively previous to using this book will find that they have a lot of questions that are difficult at best to answer. If you are stuck using only this series of books, good luck to you; you will be pulling your hair out time and time again if you, as well as your students, are paying attention to what is actually in the book and not just writing what "feels" right as a native speaker. There is a lot of confusing and almost false material presented. It seems as though the language was manipulated for publishing purposes, as opposed to using realistic language for organizing a lesson. And as far as communicative grammar goes, I find this is by far a "workbook" type of grammar book; though there are opportunities presented for communicative work, it is often not done so in a realistic setting.
Good overall but more than a few errors.......2001-02-07
I am writing about the 2000 edition: This series and text is good overall but considering this is the 2nd or 3rd edition, I am disappointed that there are so many mistakes between the questions, correct answers and answer key. It's hard enough for people to learn English as it is without them beating their heads trying to find why an answer is such-and-such only to learn that the given answer is wrong or that the question itself doesn't give all needed information.
Impressed.......2000-08-16
Well, what more can I say. I teach English in Mexico and bought this book here. It's a bit more expensive here, but it was well worth the wait. In addition to the book, I bought the workbook, the teacher's manual and the cassettes. The level of the book itself is about 4th to 7th grade. It is a very impressive book and intend on buying the newest series, when or if they become available. I would recommend this series to anyone who would be interested in teaching ESL or EFL.
Content-based and with lots communicative tasks.......2000-05-02
This series provides well-designed grammar books in real Communicative-language-teaching approach. This course book has both clear and user-friendly grammar reference and a lot of interesting skill-building practices. It helps learners to practice grammar in controlled exercises and communicative tasks. The tasks are similar to what learners may encounters in real life, and some of them require oral negotiation during the problem-solving process. Thus, this material help learners to use English in carrying out tasks in real life. Unlike traditional structural-based and drill-focused grammar books, this material allows learners to practice and use grammar in a social context, so it is very suitable for EFL or ESL classrooms, but not for individual learning. The outstanding features of this grammar series are as follows: 1. The methodological emphasis on retrospective approach to grammar. For example, learners encounter the focused grammar structure (usually highlighted) in a reading passage or a dialogue in the first section. Then, they will read the explanation of that grammar usage in the second section. Examples are always included in the explanation, so it is easy to understand and remeber the grammar usage. 2. Instruction-friendly design: model dialogues or passage, explicit explanation of grammar, and ready-for-use tasks are provided 3.A good grammar companion to any other course book: units are arranged according to grammar categories, so learners can practice what they need. 4.Well-designed and interesting skill-building exercises. Some are task-based exercises and allow learners to practice grammar in real communication. 5. Focus on content. Wide-range of interesting subject matters in the presentation and practices. Usually, all ofthe exercises/tasks within one unit deal with the same grammar structure (e.g. passive voices)through the same content topic (e.g.naming) Sometimes, the topics of several units are related when these units deal with related grammar structures.

Customer Reviews:
Good first book.......2005-12-02
Drazen has written a good, introductory book on anime. As such, it doesn't do a spectacular job on anything, but it covers most of the bases well. In general it treats the movies as art and covers sociology and culture only sparingly.
This book should be read by people who are new to anime and have limited experience with it. For newbies it does a good job of giving them a handle on the genre so they can look an anime with some idea of what's going on. People with a stronger background in the field will probably be bored and likely to nitpick the book to death. In particular some of the generalizations are likely to annoy anyone with a serious background in anime.
Anime Guide.......2005-04-12
Anime has gone mainstream. Or, rather, it has gone everywhere. Ten years ago or so the number of people outside of Japan who even knew what anime was was limited to a small but devoted number of maniacal fans. From Hayao Miyazaki to Osamu Tezuka, today anime is everywhere in the US and Europe, and increasingly popular in China and Asia. But where did Japanese animation come from, and what does it all mean? Cultural commentator Patrick Drazen has written a concise, witty, and lively guide for fans, those with a general interest in Japan, and even for those who have only the vaguest idea of what this omnipresent phenomenon really means and is. Drazen leads the reader through the characters and themes, styles and conventions, in a highly readable style.
Some of the major themes include: warriors, teenage girls, hardcore, the Japanese mother, nature, reincarnation, and more. The text also includes over 100 pictures. Moreover, at the end of the book are essays on 15 classic anime. This book is useful not only as a reference to Anime, but also as an insightful guide to contemporary Japanese culture. Last, there is a brilliant essay on Hayao Miyazaki and his organization. A great read.
An effort, though not necessarily admirable........2005-04-02
I ordered this book as a resource for a paper I wrote in school, and I found a number of glaring problems with it. I admire Patrick Drazen in his effort to create an informative book on the subject of anime, but I cannot laud him for it.
1. Much of the information on individual series seems to be incorrect. Perhaps Drazen is offering his interpretation of the events in those series, but overall, it seems that he watched some of them from the corner of his eye while writing the book.
2. There are some major grammatical errors in this book. While not everyone's perfect, it is a seemingly professional publication, and these errors lead me to believe that the author didn't have anyone read over his material to check for errors or inconsistencies, at least not anyone who cared about his book being accurate in any respect.
3. Drazen offers a lot of material, but very rigidly from his own point of view. The book is obviously from a male perspective (which may attribute to his inconsistencies in the descriptions of some of the more girly shoujo titles of anime, but still doesn't account for his errors in the rest); Drazen also sticks to what he likes, giving a sort of authorial sneer to any series mentioned that wasn't in his immediate favorites.
Overall this book is very poor for accurate, unbiased information on the subject of anime. I hate to say so because I don't know of any book that isn't. I think Drazen would have done much better to have collaborated, and certainly to have passed the manuscript around to some of his informed buddies. Did no one catch on to the outstanding errors before this was published?
Better luck next time, authors on anime.
Too much detail and generalziation.......2005-03-08
The book is fair quality. Drazen has a point of view and follows it to the end. Two problems are noted, 1) his history references need to be more varied (keeps quoting one source), 2) oversimplification of some basic facts of Japanese culture/religion. Be prepared for alot of manga reference in addtion to anime material. Also half the book is reviews of Anime.
Many Words, Few Insights, None Correct.......2003-12-31
The book appears at first to be an in-depth review of the anime phenomenon and claims to offer insights into the Japanese understanding of the medium. Unfortunately, once one starts asking questions of his assumptions, the whole structure crumbles. This book operates under the fallacy that what you see in anime reflects the values of the Japanese people (just like "South Park" reflects American values, right?), so we get concepts like "yasashii" thrust at us, and claims like "harmony is the most important thing to the Japanese." He overlooks the concept that the Japanese are not a monolithic people and seems to indicate that all the Japanese think alike on an issue.
Actually, the author seems to base his theory that anime is great on the basis that it's not American and his praises of Japan frequently revolve around knocking American moral values (there are quite a few asides to the evils of "conservative America")
Similar to Susan J Napier's book on anime, this book takes the author's preconceived notions and forcs examples to fit them, even when they don't have the meaning he tries to make them convey.
This would be more tolerable if his writing style was not so imperious, giving the impression that these views were solid and immutable facts instead of opinions

a classic book that had a lot of influence on the canon.......2007-08-23
Anyone who wants to understand our modern musical prejudices should start here.
There's an older translation available, but this one is much easier to read.
Hanslick was a Viennese music critic who applauded Brahms and criticized Wagner. His thoughts about what makes music pleasurable are collected in this short book. A lot of it won't make sense if you don't know anything about classical music. But if you do, it's fascinating to have a look at arguments defending the critical perspective that says that instrumental music is better than vocal music, that German music is better than Italian (and Mozart better than Verdi), and so on. Basically, it's a music critic giving the original justification for a lot of what the musical establishment now takes for granted. So it's a fascinating look at how canon formation is justified.
Product Description
Jonathan Rowson, author of the highly acclaimed Seven Deadly Chess Sins, investigates three questions important to all chess-players: 1) Why is it so difficult, especially for adult players, to improve? 2) What kinds of mental attitudes are needed to find good moves in different phases of the game? 3) Is White's alleged first-move advantage a myth, and does it make a difference whether you are playing Black or White? In a strikingly original work, Rowson makes use of his academic background in philosophy and psychology to answer these questions in an entertaining and instructive way. This book assists all players in their efforts to improve, and provides fresh insights into the opening and early middlegame. Rowson presents many new ideas on how Black should best combat White's early initiative, and make use of the extra information that he gains as a result of moving second. For instance, he shows that in some cases a situation he calls 'Zugzwang Lite' can arise, where White finds himself lacking any constructive moves. He also takes a close look at the theories of two players who, in differing styles, have specialized in championing Black's cause: Mihai Suba and Andras Adorjan. Readers are also equipped with a 'mental toolkit' that will enable them to handle many typical over-the-board situations with greater success, and avoid a variety of psychological pitfalls. Chess for Zebras offers fresh insights into human idiosyncrasies in all phases of the game. The depth and breadth of this book will therefore help players to appreciate chess at a more profound level, and make steps towards sustained and significant improvement.

Very Interesting.......2006-12-29
This thought provoking collection of essays spans many subjects,
including chess improvement, chess psychology at the board, and White's
advantage of the first move. There is decent practical advice, for
example, to emphasize training over knowledge, to adapt your frame of
mind to the type of position on the board, and to avoid what he calls
the "noble apprentice" syndrome. Rowson writes skillfully and
humorously, and his message is not without substance. Still, I have
doubts about many of Rowson's speculations (that is what they are), and
this was a bit of a missed opportunity in light of the growing body of
research into chess and cognitive science.
How to improve when you have hit a plateau for years!.......2006-09-13
If you have been playing chess for years and seem to have stopped improving for awhile then "Chess for Zebras" may be for you. Sometimes you have a set way of thinking and even with good books on games with analysis, tactics, chess traps and more you don't improve. Well, these may be great books (certainly I recommend all of them), but you may need to add to your collection a book that gives a a "different point of view". That is "Chess for Zebras". Okay, some of the ideas may be a little questionable, but you need to do what works for you! And, as with any book, you don't need to take everything as gospil. Use your own mind, and decide for yourself!
An Important Book That Can Make A Difference.......2006-06-02
I love chess books and have a large and growing collection, even though I'm a very lowly class player. Most "general" books are filled with conventional advice, repeated over and over; then there are the "specialist" books that concentrate on specific opening lines, endgames, etc.
There are two problems here for the class player. One is that the specialist books are, well, specialized, and especially for the books on opening theory, hard to apply by lowly class players (like me). The second problem is with the general books; they tend to say the same things over and over, and while the reinforcement is a good enough thing, there is again often a problem with specific application. When playing over the board, it's often hard for us "lower class" to see where the glittering generalities apply.
Rowson takes a completely different approach in this book. Like his previous book, Seven Deadly Chess Sins, he looks into why we do things. In the present book, he starts out by considering why chess is "hard" and "hard to learn" and most importantly, why beyond a certain point we have trouble improving. He draws on his background in psychology (most aptly) and philosophy (most entertainingly) to make his points.
And those points are well worth noting. I found an important insight into my own lack of progress in the first half hour of reading, one of those obvious but hard to realize things: I study too much! Rowson's discussion of how learning is applied, or more often not applied, is bound to help nearly anyone achieve a balance of study, and what I will call, based on the book, "applied play." Now, stop and reflect for just a moment how important this is, namely, learning how to balance study (and what you study) with actual play, so that your study can truly apply to your play. I have not seen such a good and useful treatment of this issue in any other book.
His further discussion of moods, approaches, and attitudes is equally revealing, especially his treatment of the "noble apprentice" syndrome --- the idea that it's fine to lose as long as you learn something. I have always believed this, and still do, but Rowson points out how this can fatally sap your will to win. This is but one of the many gems in the first half of the book.
The second half of the book looks at things like hard positions, and how you mentally approach them; there are then interesting chapters about white's advantages and black's advantages, expressed again in terms of how we approach them. The actual chess examples interspersed throughout are well annotated and apt, and contain discussion of thought process, approach, and attitude which reinforce the points made in the text.
This book is really different and really stands out. If you are a class player, lowly or not; or even a higher species of chess player, this book will matter and make a difference. Delay for a bit your purchase of "10,000 Terrific Tactical Tactics" or "Secrets of 20... Qa3 In The Przybylski Declined" and read this book first.... but only if you want to really see a difference in your play.
Gambit's First Bad Chess Book.......2006-05-31
If you're expecting another gem like Rowson's "Seven Deadly Sins" also by Gambit Publishing, forget it! Here Rowson gets lost in a lot of pop psychology, introspective musings and psuedoscience that passes itself off as philosophy. His reach into nonchess domains does NOT resolve confusion or produce insightful questions but creates confusion and misunderstanding.
I've the feeling that because of "Seven Deadly Sins" Gambit editors decided to let Rowson's intellect roam free in "Chess for Zebras". They made a terrible mistake. "Chess for Zebras" reads like a rotten first draft in extreme need of extensive editorial oversight. Don't waste your money on this conceptual trash heap.
Food for thought.......2006-04-15
Rowson's "Chess for Zebras" is food for thought.
There are not enough books on the vital subject of the psychology of chess learning. This book tackles an important subject. Why is it that adult players find it so hard to improve? This is a subject dear to my heart. At the ripe old age of 50, most of my chess playing compatriots believe that I am already over the hill. Why was it so easy to improve when I was a junior and why is it so hard to increase my rating now? This is a very important theme. Some chess players spend half a fortune on chess books designed to tell them how to improve their chess? But how many of these books really make a difference?
Of course there are classic books which will stand the test of time and which should be read by all aspiring players. Nimzovitch's "My System" and "Praxis", Hans Kmoch's "Pawn Power in Chess", Reuben Fine's "The Middle Game in Chess", Botvinnik's 100 games etc. Everyone can learn from these.
The problem is that these books teach basic principles of chess, but do not always help players improve their over the board play. Why not? Well, it has something to do with the way we apply our chess knowledge to our games. Somehow strong players seem to be able to use their knowledge better. They think more clearly, or perhaps they visualize the board more clearly, or maybe they can see further ahead than you or I can (I am rated about 2050 FIDE, about 2200 USCF). So, maybe what separates the grandmaster from the master is the process of thinking itself. This concept has spawned a lot of books, starting with Kotov's famous "Think Like a Grandmaster". Then, there is the "Inner Game of Chess" by Soltis and Tisdall's interesting "Improve Your Chess Now". All of these books have a common theme, which is that the best way to improve your chess is to improve your analytic ability and the best way to do that is to practice your analysis and to improve your ability to visualize.
Yes, yes, yes. But what do we mean by visualize? And this is where the problem lies. Most authors of chess books do not have a clear idea of what chess visualization is. And why is it so hard for adult players to improve in this area? I have watched a lot of junior players over the years. You can spot the ones who are going to improve dramatically. They have already mastered the art of chess visualization. Often, they have little theoretical knowledge, but they are already strong players.
So how do we improve? Well for juniors it is simple. Play, study, play and study. You will improve. But if you are an adult, you may already be over the hill. So what can you do to improve. Here is where Chess for Zebras enters the equation. Rowson contends that adult players have too much chess baggage and that what they have to do is unlearn much of what they have learnt. He advocates looking at positions freshly without prejudice with a view to rethinking your attitudes to different positions. He also advocates that training should be emphasized over knowledge. You can have all the facts you need, but if you can't apply them, they are useless.
I agree. But, is it that simple? Well, no and Rowson does not pretend that it is? But I wonder if his ideas hit upon the key elements of the problem. First of all, we have to remove a specific bias. We have to recognize that the brain is not a bucket that needs to be filled. The key distinguishing feature that separates a strong player from a weak player is pattern recognition. A strong player comes armed with a very much larger number of patterns that a weak player. But a pattern can be a whole lot of different things. A pattern can be the recognition that a bishop moves in a certain way and that the B on c1 will never be manoevered to reach the square f7. A pattern can be recognition of the castled king position with a knight at f3 as strong. A pattern can also be the recognition that a bishop can be sacrificed on h7 safely in the manner of the Greek gift sacrifice. These are all patterns. They all have to be learned. Patterns are used to visualize moves. Perhaps we need to learn 50,000 patterns to master chess, but I suspect that the correct number is a lot higher. We "see" the potential moves in a positions based on the patterns that we see on the board. And here is the point, the strong player sees more patterns and therefore excludes more moves from consideration. A strong player does not necessarily seem more deeply. A strong player prunes the "tree of analysis" much more effectively by excluding weak moves. Of course, patterns help to show a strong player what moves to play as well. A strong player finishes an analysis and "sees" patterns in the final position that tell him that his position is threatening, dangerous or just plain bad. Little of this is "knowledge" (Rowson is right). Much of this is being able to appreciate the potential moves available in that final position. ("Gee, in the final position of my analysis, my position is good, because I can play my knight to d6, or my bishop has good squares to attack etc"). As Reti put it in his book "New Ideas in Chess". It is not possible to analyse everything. What distinguishes the strong player from the weak player is the ability to see the potential of a position and that comes from familiarity with the patterns that exist within a position. Such ideas are confirmed by modern brain imaging studies which demonstrate that grandmasters utilize memory for patterns far more than weaker players, but do not necessarily analyse more deeply than weaker players.
It is interesting that some authors seem not to emphasise this last point. Jacob Aagaard in his book "Excelling at Chess Calculation" points out that weaker players do not analyse as consistently as stronger players, because they often repeat moves and retrace their steps in the tree of analysis. He misses the point that pattern recognition is the key to visualization as well as understanding. The greater the pattern recognition, the easier it is to retain a position in mind and to not have to retrace steps in analysis.
So how do we learn patterns and why is it so hard to learn new patterns as adults. Rowson is right. Some chess needs to be unlearned. However, based on my years as a researcher in the field of brain science, I suspect that there are more important problems to overcome.
First and foremost is that the brain is not an empty vessel (tabula rasa) that simply needs filling. We know that there are certain phases of brain development when learning is easier. An example of this is language. How many people have tried to learn a foreign language as adults? It is much harder to learn a foreign language when you are older. This has nothing to do with the fact that you speak a native language. The truth is that ALL language is harder to learn later on. If you miss the window of brain development you cannot learn a language easily, even if it is your first language. So, it is not a question of unlearning a language to learn a new one. The brain has a greater capacity for plasticity in the early years. Some of this has to do with a process known as myelination, which continues from birth until early adulthood and which greatly improves the ability of certain regions of the brain to demonstrate plasticity.
Second, processing power seems to decrease with age. To learn something new, information is stored in "short term memory" and retained in this location for several minutes. After this, new information can either be lost, or transferred into "long-term memory" ie it can be learned and retained. The capacity to make this transition, which is a function of region of the brain known as the hippocampus, is decreased as you age. In Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampus is severely affected.
Third, we have to understand what real "unlearning" would entail. This is not the same thing as seeing positions in a new light. Memories are stored in the brain in a diffuse manner, and they are stored using the same regions of the brain that the old memories are stored, in a mechanism known as a neural network. To improve the capacity to learn new patterns, we would have to unlearn the existing patterns, which means more than just rejecting old ideas, we have to dismantle the existing networks of communication. I am just not sure that this is possible.
So, in conclusion, Rowson present some fascinating ideas and I must confess to enjoying his book very much. It is thoughtfully and intelligently written. But the key question is, are the ideas in the book going to make you a better chess player. Rowson is not so sure they are, and neither am I. So, by all means buy the book for its presentation of new ideas about the way we think about chess. Rowson will make you think twice before you buy another chess book.
Is there any hope for adult players who have been playing regularly all their lives to improve? (I am not including players who may take up the game as adults in this group - these players may have a selective advantage). Well, yes of course. You see, despite the fact that it is harder to improve as you grow older, it is possible to learn a new language in your later years. You just have to work harder at it. But of course, "there's the rub". In our adult years, we have less time.
I have two hyperactive children and a demanding career. I don't have time to do more that whittle away at the problem. Maybe you do though!
Of course there are other ideas. But I have run out of space! Four stars. Fascinating, yes. The book is reasonably well organised and lucid, diagrams clear. If it gets me to write such a long review, it must be pretty good!!
