Dirt cupcake mix, as American as apple pie. Nipple lightener from Japan. Tick juice, indispensable in Venezuela for black magic love rituals. Sunglasses from Zimbabwe with shades cut from plastic juice bottles and no lenses. Korean disposable straw sandals made especially for mourners and corpses. Is this stuff cool or what? But wait--there's more. Flip through this book in search of international weirdness, and it's a pretty sure bet you'll wind up absorbing some sobering information about sex, death, destruction, poverty, and the arrogant ways of multinationals. Under the guise of an ultrahip consumer's guide to the world's nifty stuff--divided into sections labeled "Food," "Fashion," "Animals," "Body," "Soul" and "Leisure"--1000 Extra/Ordinary Objects is a subversive crusader for human rights and ecological awareness.
Sure, you can find out how to buy your very own Dom Perignon-flavored sorbet or a CD of "Music for Healthy Pets." But you'll also stumble upon objects like the cute little bright green Russian-made PFM-1 antipersonnel mine, "a favorite toy of generations of Afghan children" punished for their curiosity by a double whammy of liquid explosive and tiny blades. On other pages, seemingly innocuous objects--like the sweetly lumpy doll couples made of tree bark by Elliot Chitungu of Zimbabwe--turn out to have a bitter subtext. (Chitungu, who is gay, makes all his couples heterosexual; in his country, homosexuality is a criminal offense.) Other objects are examples of savvy recycling, like the paper made in Malawi from elephant dung and recycled cardboard.
With straightforward descriptions in both English and French, unblinking photographs of young people modeling even the most outré objects, and a Yellow Pages that includes information about little-known charitable organizations worldwide, this is a fun book with a heart of gold. --Cathy Curtis
Book Description
A humorous and educational guide to "everyday" stuff from all over the world Things, objects, stuff, trinkets, tools, materials, gadgets, the things we use, abuse, throw away, cherish, depend on: these are the things we own, simple objects for our everyday lives. They may or may not hold special meaning to us, but their importance, as objects of cultural identity, is unmistakable.
Produced by COLORS under the direction of Oliviero Toscani, famous for his controversial Benetton campaigns, 1000 Extra/Ordinary Objects is a humorous and educational guide to stuff from all over the world. Discover the wonderful absurdity of a priest's portable mass-in-a-briefcase kit, or the stunning difference between flyswatters from Zimbabwe and South Korea. Ogle at the juxtaposition of neoprene surfing shoes and bullfighting slippers; have a gander at a can of blowfish soup. You'll see that what is ordinary halfway across the world (or perhaps for your neighbors across the street) may be totally foreign to you.
In case you see something that you absolutely must have, check out the yellow pages section at the end of the book; here you can find out where to get it and even how much it costs, as well as lots of little tidbits of interesting information to make your journey complete. Next time you pick up your toothbrush or comb your hair, you may think twice about the things that you use every day - perhaps they're not so ordinary after all.
Customer Reviews:
yes, bizarre!.......2003-11-14
This is a wonderful collection of objects, truly an artistic selection of eye-popping, category-crossing, often beautiful things. Each object also has a very very nice description, laying out who made and why, and giving an idea of how it functions. You get battery-operated tongues - think of the uses you can put that to! - and scores of traditional objects such as funery slippers and straw hats or cow-tail medicinal brushes. It is a feast for the imagination, funny, and provocative.
Recommended for industrial designers and art lovers alike.
WOW..Funny,Bizarre ....BEST GIFT.......2001-11-25
Very entertaining and embarassingly funny.
Makes me want to shave all my body hair and buy some of the unusual hair pieces so popular in Japan.
Many unusual and creative if COMPLETELY USELESS INVENTIONS.
I find out that the women of Caracas absolutely love the "Urination Funnel", the art of urinating standing up using a paper cone,it is described as strange at first,but FUN. I truly live a very sheltered life as a woman in the USA, unable to access the simple pleasure of urinating standing up.
764 pages of pure COMICAL FACTS.
GREAT CATALOG OF OBJECTS AS ARTIFACTS OF CULTURAL IDENTITY.......2001-01-24
Objects: stuff, knick-knacks, toys, trinkets, tools, curios, gadgets. The things we use, abuse, collect, toss away, cherish, depend on or can't live without: these are the material goods that fill our lives. Those shown in 1000 EXTRA/ORDINARY OBJECTS may or may not hold special meaning to you, but their importance as objects of cultural identity is unmistakable.
Produced, under the direction of Oliviero Toscani, then design director of Colors magazine, 1000 EXTRA/ORDINARY OBJECTS truly illustrates Colors' motto that "diversity is good" and translates perfectly into a book that celebrates the intrinsic cultural differences in everyday objects.
Discover the efficiency of a priest's portable mass-in-a-briefcase and the wonderful practicality of a Venezuelan Urination Funnel for women. Ponder the juxtaposition of neoprene surfing shoes and bullfighting slippers; contemplate the multi-tasking inherent in English-language lessons printed on Japanese toilet paper; and the wishful thinking of Chinese Slimming Soap that promises to make you slender and fit. What could be a better combo than glue-on ... from Germany and the formidable Arabian Goat's Eye ...? Jaunting off on this global shopping trip, you'll see that objects completely foreign to you may be commonplace halfway across the world.
In case you see something that you absolutely must have, check out the Yellow Pages section at the end of the book. Here you can find out where to get it and how much it costs, and read fascinating tidbits of information to make your worldwide journey complete.
Next time you pick up your toothbrush or Ethiopian ear-cleaning spoon, you may think twice about the things that you use every day - perhaps they're not so ordinary after all.

Book Description
Each period in the history of costume has produced its own characteristic line and silhouette, derived from a cut and construction which varies considerably from age to age. Here are patterns taken from actual dresses, many of them rare museum specimens, illustrated by sketches of the dresses. There are notes on the production of women's dress, with references to early technical books and journals, together with diagrams from some of them. Numerous illustrations show the dresses as worn complete with their hairstyles, jewelry, decorations and accessories.
Customer Reviews:
very well.......2006-11-17
I'am French, and even without the English texts the patterns are easily comprehensible when we know a little the seam
Nice to Have book rather than a Must Have .......2006-03-09
From a broad perspective this book is helpful in delineating the various periods of costume. The patterns are useful, but not plentiful.
However, the book has several shortcomings. Firstly it is printed on very cheap paper (this is a reprint version) and the black and white pictures/prints of paintings are very murky and badly reproduced on even thinner cheaper paper than the text.
The content of the book is fine for beginners but clearly the book has not been updated to reflect recent study on costume. The writing style is in the form of an endless stream of tit-bit information patched together making this book a boring read. Furthermore, the book is padded out with period quotations about costume, mainly in the form of inventory lists of costume. This adds little to the understanding of costume and the book should have been more tightly edited. Finally there are just not enough patterns in this book to make it a "must have" title - the patterns are not drawn on a grid so inaccuracies are inevitable. Anyone looking to find a variety of patterns for the period 1600 to about 1850 are going to be disappointed, but admittedly the period 1850 to 1930 is better covered by the book in terms of pattern variety. I will probably donate this book to my local library as it is not a keeper for me. Readers wanting up to date costume information are better served by acquiring texts from the various costume institutes in England.
Essential for Costumers and Fashion Designers.......2005-09-04
This is an excellent book all around, with highlights including dissections of period garments with simple outlines of pattern shapes. Though the patterns are not on a grid, they are accompanied with a scale and can be decently eyeballed for a quick project. Beginniners will be inspired and the advanced will have a handy quick reference guide. A good pattern book, and a nice read too. Anyone serious about costume or garment contruction should have this book.
Basically Important.......2004-05-26
This is the first costume text I purchased (even before knowing I was going to go to school for costume design), and even after receiving and collecting loads of other texts on costume and the history thereof, this is still the best basic book I've come across. And, yes, I actually read it instead of just looking at the pics (of which there are many, many, great examples of historical dress). Although not entirely scintillatingly written (hard to do with a sometimes dry subject such as costume history, it has to be said), it is full of information that I wouldn't have otherwise known (and I've been fascinated by clothing all my life).
Across the arc of the book, one can discern the evolution of clothing, and it provides a good background for noting the changes across the years and why they were made. There is a lot covered within, and I feel it's a great source from which to start any kind of costume research.
Mouthwatering!!!.......2004-01-07
I received this book for Christmas and couldn't be happier with it! I have not as yet attempted to draft one of the patterns, so I can't give my impression of that. However, I am impressed with the detail and extent of knowledge the author is able to share through the text! There is much more text than I had thought, and the detail is such that you can picture the garment, seam lines, trim, and all, from her descriptions! It is by no means a light read, but well worth the money to anyone interested in costuming, fashion design, or just clothing. The pages are filled with old fashion plates, paintings, and tailors' notes, along with sections of patterns relating to the time period discussed.
I highly recommend this book- an amazing read! After finishing it, you'll be an expert on women's clothing!
Book Description
As Tachibana, Ono, and Kanda continue to run the bakery "Antique," their daily routine is suddenly interrupted by the appearance of a tall, mysterious man in dark sunglasses. Addressing Tachibana as "my lord", his name is Chikage Kobayakawa. Not only does the man's appearance lead to surprising revelations about bakery manager Tachibana and his past, but also triggers chef Ono's notorious "demonic charm." The bakery also deals with the hectic holiday rush, and this year, Tachibana has decided to start a special Christmas delivery service - as Santa in a red Ferrari!
Customer Reviews:
'tis the season to be nutty..........2006-04-08
this second volume starts off with a very easily misconstrued scene, which in any other yaoi manga worth its salt would have degenerated into a frenzied orgy. not so with "antique bakery". it's just one of the many examples where yoshinaga-sensei pokes fun at the cliches of yaoi mangas, and as in the first volume, this is about as risque as it gets. however, despite (or maybe because of, depending on your tastes) the lack of sex, this manga still manages to capture my interest. there is a certain sense of realism entertwined in this series. while this volume continues the trend of its predecessor with its comic ingenuity and wittiness, there is an underlying feeling that there are more to the characters than what they seem.
the arrival of a black-suited man, complete with dark sunglasses on a dreary afternoon interrupted the malaise growing in the bakery, much to the chagrin of tachibana. it turns out that the man, chikage kobayakawa, is associated with tachibana's family and was sent to "take care" of him. appearances however, can be deceiving and this is doubly true for chikage. despite his looks, chikage is so desperately hopeless (and innocent) that tachibana ends up taking care of him instead of the other way around! with his arrival, tachibana's background is also slowly revealed, showing a clearer picture of the man who seems to cruise through life steeped in cynicism.
the bulk of this volume deals with the oncoming christmas season, and the various delicacies created especially to entice customers intent on celebrating it. it should also be noted that in japan, christmas is usually celebrated with your significant other, compared to the family-oriented celebration more common in western societies - somehow it's a lover's celebration there. *shrugs* at least, that's how i've seen it being portrayed.
in anycase, tachibana's wacko idea of a santa claus cake-delivery service - with his ferrari no less! - injected much humor into the volume. the people who appreciates the gesture turns out to be the ones he least expected to. as usual, tachibana's craziness totally plays out the cliche that we can't really understand rich people... *lol*
in anycase, in between all that, eiji's history is also further explored, and readers get to see ono's 'demonic charm' in action as he, unwillingly perhaps, unleashes its power on the very naive chikage.
for a very laidback series, quite a lot of things happen in this volume. yoshinaga-sensei cooks up an interesting blend of gravity, humor and madness that somehow reflects how real life could be just as insane. what i like most is how we get to see more sides of tachibana, especially in view of the way he treats chikage. it's true that tachibana does abuse him to a certain degree, tyrannical even, but on the other hand one doesn't seem to feel that way especially when we see just how much trouble tachibana goes through taking care of chikage. it's hilarious!
as in volume one, the pastries, cakes and traitteur looks utterly delectable. the chocolate scratch and sniff cover, combined with the illustrated delicacies makes me salivate every time. it's frigging insane! background art is sparse for the most part, but the involved and witty dialogue more than makes up for it. after all, this is definitely a manga that engages the mind more than anything else.
if you love the first volume, you won't be disappointed by this one.
Delicieux!.......2006-02-02
The first volume of ANTIQUE BAKERY introduced us to the locale itself - a French-style patisserie set up in a former antique shop - and some of its customers. In this second helping author/artist Fumi Yoshinaga concentrates on the bakery's staff, three of whom we've already met: the owner, Tachibana, raffish son of a wealthy family; Ono, pastry chef and "gay of demonic charm"; and Kanda, the ex-boxer with a passion for sweets. (The opening story includes a notably unglamorous view of Kanda's past life in a biker gang). The trio becomes a quartet with the entrance of Chikage Kobayakawa, a combination bodyguard/servant dispatched by Tachibana's family. Although Chikage comes on like a modern ninja - impeccable suit, impenetrable dark glasses - he's so physically and socially awkward that it's Tachibana who winds up as an exasperated life-coach-cum-nanny. Ono, however, gets caught in a trap of his own making when he sets out to seduce the handsome lummox and then realises, almost too late, how easy it can be to hurt someone who's truly innocent and sincere.
The next episode is pure comedy with a trimming of culinary expertise, as the bakery gears up for a busy Christmas season: Tachibana realises that his idea of making deliveries dressed up as Santa may be counter-productive, while back at the shop the others cope with a stream of customers - including a group of chattering, brainless "kogals" - and discuss how make the perfect buche de Noel. However, the volume ends on a darker note as Tachibana discloses just why his family are so anxious about him... A little four-page "extra" illustrates personality through food preference, from Tachibana's exaggeratedly masculine taste for beer and spicy food to Kanda's lunch of butter-cake, gulped down between practice sessions at the gym.
It's a little unfortunate that Amazon chooses to describe this title as "yaoi", since readers looking for explicit man-on-man action are going to be disappointed. ANTIQUE BAKERY, rather, is character-driven comedy, with touches of bitter-sweet melancholy and a basic psychological realism that skew it toward the adult market (as does Yoshinaga's art, which tends to concentrate on figures with minimal background detail: shoujo manga cliches such as floating stars or flowers are used strictly for humorous effect). On the technical side, DMP has done a fine job of printing and presentation, and Sachiko Sato's translation makes the dialogue a pleasure to read. One tiny gripe: it would be nice if DMP invested in a Del Rey-style notes section somewhere in the book, since some references aren't entirely clear by themselves. For example, a panel of Chikage sneezing on p.41 doesn't mean a lot unless the reader is aware of the Japanese superstition that you sneeze when other people are talking about you. Again, when Kanda spoils his first attempt at a buche de Noel and assumes that he should "go into the mountains and make hundreds of buches de Noel until I've unlocked its secrets", Yoshinaga is poking fun at the genre of strenuous work-as-character-building-activity manga described by Frederick Schodt in his MANGA! MANGA!, but a casual reader mightn't get the joke. (Ono supplies a refreshing dose of common sense: "That would just be a waste of ingredients... I'll just explain now"). However, this would simply be the cherry on the cake - so to speak - for one of the most satisfying titles available today.

James Joyce and the Dead/Portrait.......2002-07-19
To William Klingaman - you have ruined our lives. Since we took your class, we've been unhealthily interested in James Joyce - we just watched a movie called "Nora" about his wife. We didn't understand...ran to the computer, read a biography on James Joyce, and looked frantically for some criticism on the film to help explain it to us. We are now in pursuit of your email address so we can make you watch it and explain it to us. You said that we couldn't think for ourselves...
We now feel a need to go and read the book, along with everything he's ever written in order to get a better understanding of the movie. We are also having a JJ movie fest and plan to start a HUM book club devoted to the Irishman. HELP!

Super series for Film & Media Studies teachers (16-19 year olds).......2005-09-27
I am biased, as I'm the Series Editor, but every title in the series has lots of factual and conceptual background information for each topic, two sample six-week teaching schemes and teaching tips (and downloadable photocopiable worksheets and web notes from [...]) as well as 3-5 detailed case studies, full glossary and suggestions for further research.
Every writer is an experienced teacher and/or examiner and most titles (with the exception of ones with 'British' in the title) have a fairly international perspective.

Book Description
In this abridgment of his monumental study, Berlioz and the Romantic Century, Jacques Barzun recounts the events and extraordinary achievements of the great composer's life against the background of the romantic era. As the author eloquently demonstrates, Berloiz was an archetype whose destiny was the story of an age, the incarnation of an artistic style and a historical spirit. "In order to understand the nineteenth century, it is essential to understand Berlioz," notes W. H. Auden, "and in order to understand Berlioz, it is essential to read Professor Barzun."
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful, comprehensive narrative.......2005-03-22
Jacques Barzun is an unapologetic advocate of great men (and women) and, in one of his most subtle philosophical veins, he has here comprehensively treated Berlioz as such an entity- rather than a style, technique, or eccentric- within the contemporary and personal world that the composer occupied and was occupied by.
The designation of Berlioz, along with Keats, as The Romantic Genius, has cemented his place in the general surveys of musical and 19th century history. Sustained equally by the overly-emphasized program of "Symphonie Fantastique" and the easily recountable breaking of his engagement to Camille Moke- Berlioz as a Personality could be as easily subsumed in a general, genteely eccentric, demi-Napoleonic, bohemian Romantic "character".
Barzun does not reject the singleness of the Romantic era, as he might have done, in questioning the existence of such an all-encompassing character for it; but explains the depth, the real pragmatism and sense of great morality, on all sides, by which the new generations of necessarily market-dependant artists were precluded by the more aristocratic-minded institutions that fostered them. Berlioz stood in the earliest of these generations, and emerges from his environment sympathetically human. If the embodiment of a period in a single person is a cause for endless fascination (and, barring that, assignation), it is also a cause for beaurocratic tedium, financial pandering, and occasional compositions.
Barzun, having managed in one of his more recent works to extradite John Calvin from the morass of that leader's legacy, deserves admiration for the still more formidable task, in this work, of sorting out the arguments of the last two centuries concerning artistic prerogative, if not for happening yet on their solution.
"Berlioz and His Century" consequently retains (like all of Barzun's narratives) both historical importance and present relevance in the full extent of its range, while remembering the real and finite experiences of the individual figures who made their times important and relevant.

Great for beginners.......2000-03-19
I used this book to do my first stained glass project without the guidance of my instructor. The cardstock templates are great -- you can cut the pieces out and save them for later works, just remember to make a photocopy! The book has a variety of designs to suit just about every taste, from Pennsylvania Dutch to more abstract modern designs. There are also several different skill levels, so you can progress to more difficult/complex boxes as your skills improve. The explanations of the tools and techniques assume that you have a very basic understanding of stained glass craft, so I'd recommend using this book after you've taken a couple of classes and are ready to branch out on your own.
Book Description
So you want to be a mortgage broker?
Or maybe you're not sure yet.
Let's imagine a little.
Imagine a world, where you are your own master:
You have the time to do whatever you wish.
You have the ability to live up to your true potential.
No limits, no barriers. No handicaps or favoritism or discrimination. Nothing can hold you back.
You can be as successful as you wish. Your income is only limited by your desire.
No menial labor required. You can work whenever you want, wherever you wish. No time clocks to punch or bosses to bother you.
You can have a respectable white-collar universe. Computers, paper, and air-conditioned offices are your domain. High finance is your game.
Your market is virtually unlimited. Everyone wants and needs your product: money. And they will do what it takes to get it.
But you don't need any money to get started, you have nothing to risk. The money belongs to someone else, and you make money by helping them distribute it.
No formal education is required. Just be yourself, and through honesty and integrity you can succeed.
This is the world of the mortgage broker. And a world you can join, if you have what it takes to make a decision.
The trails are already worn. No new territory here. Thousands of successful brokers have walked this way before. And all you have to do is follow their path. No guesswork. No risk.
This is not a new opportunity. It has been around since there was money. And it will continue to be around as long as man walks the earth. The only question is, will you be a part of it?
What is it you desire out of life?
· More money?
· Financial security?
· A good future for your family?
· A chance to help others?
· Freedom?
All these can be yours, easily. If thousands of regular, everyday people can do it, so can you.
Mortgage brokerage is one of the last few remaining businesses, in which you are judged by your output, and not who you know, or where you went to school. It doesn't matter if you went to school at all. It might actually be better if you didn't.
Your income is unlimited. You alone determine your success. No external factors can stop you.
If you ever thought you could do great things, this is the opportunity to show what you can really do.
You don't need any money to get started. You don't even need a computer. All you need is the belief that you can succeed, and the desire to do so.
You can provide a much needed service. Imagine how it feels to get a hug from a man and a woman, who just bought their first house- a dream of there's for years, and one which they know was made possible only because you were there to help them.
That is the life of a mortgage broker. And our company will fill you in on all the details of this life: both the good and the bad.
First let me explain why I am writing this letter: My company, Kamrock Publishing has a website. This is our main site for mortgage professionals. We have several training and marketing resources available at this site.
But what we didn't have was a way to help people get into the mortgage business. And everyday we would get multiple emails from people wanting to know how to get a license, where do they start, how do they find a company to work for, etc.
And after a while, we got tired of answering these emails, so we put together the only book available that shows people how to get into the business. It's called,
So You Want To Be A Mortgage Broker?
If you have any questions about what to do to become a mortgage broker, or if you want a behind the scenes look at the world of mortgage brokerage this book will be invaluable to you.
In it, we cover all the questions we were asked repeatedly including several that people need to know but did not know to ask.

..........2007-07-16
Save yourself time and money - run a Google search to get info on the subject. This book is worthless, the author mainly advertises their websites.
Very Disappointed.......2007-03-15
This book was extremely BASIC. Hardly any useful information at all. If you have ever taken out a mortgage, you already know most of this. It was almost a total waste of money. The main focus of this book is to sell you a much more expensive program(s).
Going to enter the mortgage business.......2007-01-25
I loved this book.
For someone who knows very little about the industry and wants to get into it, this book is a great place to start.
The last review said that this information can be found on the internet. Maybe it is, BUT I doubt it. Anyway, I am not willing to waste countless hours and search through hundreds of websites to try to find it. Especially when the book is so cheap.
I really liked the section on what a typical day is like for a loan officer. But the best part, and something no one I talked to in the mortgage business was willing to talk about, was the section of how loan officers get paid. The author explains the frontend and the backend and how a loan officer can manipulate the numbers to make the client think they are getting a deal, but the loan officer is still making his money too.
If you are thinking about getting into the mortgage business, like I am, this book is a great place to start. Once you understand all the concepts in it, you will know what to talk about to propestive employers, and what questions to ask. Otherwise you are just going in blind.
Just the tips on getting a higher commission will pay for the book several times over.
Good Luck, God Bless.
Not worth the money or time..........2007-01-23
This book is definitely not worth the money or time.
The primary reason why you should NOT buy this book is that you can get the information that is found in this book (and MUCH more) by inquiring on any major search engine. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that there are only a FEW professions which have only ups and no downs. Being a loan officer or mortgage broker is not one of them. Almost all other information contained in this book is freely distributed on the net and I see no reason to spend my money to read something that I could read for free.
The second reason you should not buy this book, is the amount of unprofessionalism with which the book was written, that was unnecessary on Ameen's part and COULD be avoided if he chose to. But he chose not to. I've read quite a few books on many topics, including the mortgage industry, and I've never come across an author who had come even close to surpassing Ameen's ability to fill their book with as much promotion of their other products, as possible, to the point where the book could be considered to be only half book and half advertisement.
If that's what you're looking for, then buy this book.

Great book that provided a lot of insight into the mortgage brokering.
