Life drawing class in a book!.......2006-10-29

I HIGHLY recommend picking up ANY of the books in this series. The Pose series is the one of my top three choices in referencing the human figure (with props). This series is overflowing with pictures at almost every angle for each pose. This series will teach you the intricacies of life drawing, such as the human figure, lighting, drapery and props among other things... In my opinion, mastering the human form is one of the hardest things to do. When mastered, it only improves your ability to draw anything in nature.

The best 'girls holding guns' book.......2001-03-20

I have owned a copy of this book for two years. I am a comicbook artist and have found the poses in the book to be very helpful in getting that 'looking through the scope' pose just right.

I reccomend this above all the other combat pose books which were also very well done.

Book Description

There is only one thing that Jefferson Nighthawk, the original Widowmaker, really wanted to do and that was retire on a far away planet and raise a garden. There were still two clones of him to keep the peace and carry on his legend. Unfortunately for him, his two clones have come to a disagreement. When a widowmaker takes on a widowmaker everyone runs for cover. There is only one man who can stand up to the clones of the Widowmaker... the Widowmaker himself.

Customer Reviews:

Great book, plenty of action, nice wrap-up.......2007-03-01

Resnick delivers another great book - we get plenty of backstory, and see what really makes the Widowmaker. No fan of the series should miss this book!

Book Description

"Smart, saucy answers...the kind of book you'd buy as a goofy present for your wackiest friend--and then keep."
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
Since 1973, the redoubtable Cecil Adams has collected, corrected, inspected, and dissected thousands of reader's questions, reporting his sagacious findings in the popular weekly column, THE STRAIGHT DOPE. His first book amazed millions. Now he returns with another incomparable compendium of fantastic facts, insouciant information, and delicious data on every subject of import to personkind: Is it true Thanksgiving was invented by the editor of HARPER'S BIZARRE...? Why do your fingers wrinkle in the bathtub...? and hundreds more burning questions explained at last!

Customer Reviews:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'M IN LOVE! LOVE, I TELL YOU!.......2007-09-09

I am absolutely addicted to The Straight Dope. Every since I got Cecil Adams's first book, I've been unable to put these books down.
This is the second book of collected Straight Dope columns, and I'd have to say it's even better than the first. This one includes more of the humorous exchanges between Cecil Adams and his readers, more columns altogether, and a lot of really bizarre and interesting questions.
Let me just say that immediately after finishing this, I ran to get the third book and started reading it that same day. Not only is this book (the second book) filled with facts, it's also really funny, and well-illustrated. Slug Signorino's pictures are a total riot sometimes.
Unbelievably, this book is now out of print, but fortunately for us, it's still available used. Get it. Now.

Good trivia book.......2002-06-24

If you like Trivia then this is a good book for you...
Cecil Adams has a "way" to narrate things but he has style in everything he does...
He claims to know everything about everything and be able to tell it in a way to make you feel a jerk...
Worth a try...

You Won't Regret Buying This Book.......2001-01-04

Cecil Adams Straight Dope books are some of the best trivia books out there bar none. While you may not get the answers to the specific questions you are asking you will find answers to things you always wanted to know but never really thought to ask about.

Cecil Adams has been writing his column for the Chicago Reader since 1973 and has been asked every random trivia questions under the sun and rarely is he unable to find the answer. Cecil Adams has a wicked sense of humor that makes his books so much fun to read over and over again.

More Of The Straight Dope is the second book in his series and while it is hard to find, is certainly one of the best of the lot. He answers questions like - what exactly is Mojo? Why does your skin wrinkle in the tub? and so forth.

No one has ever seen the real Cecil Adams and as long as he keeps answering questions and putting out books like this - no one will ever really care (well.... it is probably the last mystery that he will ever solve.)

The Best DOPE of the Bunch.......2000-05-12

The first book was great, but played it safe. The more recent books are likewise good, but seem to have been trying a tad too hard. This is the one to start with. Like Miss Manners, Cecil transcends his material or subject matter-- his sharp, witty voice is the real treat here. However, it should also be noted that unlike most authors of trivia and odd-knowledge compendiums, Cecil actually applies Real scholarship to his answers, instead of the usual assortment of second-hand hearsay. A great gift for the smartass on your list...

Best of the Straight Dope Books.......1999-12-25

The Straight Dope books have gone from being fun and informative to slim compilations of padded material. THis is the best of the bunch. Lots of fun.

Book Description

The image in Hollywood movies of savage Indians attacking white settlers represents only one side of a very complicated picture. In fact sympathetic portrayals of Native Americans stood alongside those of hostile Indians in the silent films of D. W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille, and flourished during the early 1930s with Hollywood's cycle of pro-Indian adventures. Decades later, the stereotype became even more complicated, as films depicted the savagery of whites (The Searchers) in contrast to the more "peaceful" Indian (Broken Arrow). By 1990 the release of Dances with Wolves appeared to have recycled the romantic and savage portrayals embedded in early cinema. In this new study, author Angela Aleiss traces the history of Native Americans on the silver screen, and breaks new ground by drawing on primary sources such as studio correspondence, script treatments, trade newspapers, industry censorship files, and filmmakers' interviews to reveal how and why Hollywood created its Indian characters. Behind-the-scenes anecdotes of filmmakers and Native Americans, as well as rare archival photographs, supplement the discussion, which often shows a stark contrast between depiction and reality. The book traces chronologically the development of the Native American's screen image while also examining many forgotten or "lost" Western films. Each chapter will feature black and white stills from the films discussed.

Study Guitar on your own.......2003-09-01

If you are self motivated and can follow witten instructions well, this is a great book. Mills, a virtuoso, takes you through all aspects of learning to play classical guitar, from technique, to readning music, to how to play some very musical pieces. It is a great book and well worth your time to use.

A Good Approach to Learning Classical Guitar.......2001-01-20

This classical guitar method is different from most in that it provides a "key by key" approach. Each lesson focuses on a single musical key. The method moves quickly and, in my opinion, will be most advantageous to the guitar student who already has a basic familiarity with the first position notes or, at the very least, a background knowledge of musical notation. Again, in my opionion, this is not the best method for the beginning classical guitarist who is trying to learn on his or her own.

Small, but good.......2007-01-09

This is a very little book for a coloring book, but nice.
The price is too high as it is marked $1.50 on the back.....I think this should be changed!

Little Hebrew Alphabet Coloring Book.......2006-03-12

The first time I ordered this, I took a chance. My four year old loved it, so I came back and ordered more for his friends.

Book Description

Good thinking. It's the one thing all successful people have in common. People who achieve their dreams understand the critical relationship between their level of thinking and their level of progress-and they know that when thinking is limited, so is potential. Now, John C. Maxwell explores this idea and identifies the specific skills people need to make their potential for success explode into results. From focused and creative thinking to thinking of the big picture or the bottom line, he provides examples of effective thinking for every situation. This book doesn't tell readers what to think, it teaches them how to think. After all, success is as simple as changing your mind.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent book for the people looking for Improving the leadership skills.......2007-09-26

this is one another classic from John Maxwell. There are lot many things explained in this book that can help us in our daily life, profession/ business..

We are what we think. This book will help you do it better........2007-07-08

I generally enjoy Dr. Maxwell's books. This one, however, is one of my favorites because it deals with one of my favorite subjects: Thinking. Maxwell explains how to think more creatively; how to use shared thinking; how to focus your thinking and many other lessons dealing with the subject of thinking. Earl Nightingale got me thinking on paper a long time ago, Maxwell introduced me to the "thinking chair", which is a place where you can go and think about challenges in a consistent basis. This habit really is life-changing. In a life where our ability to think will determine our future more than any connection, college degree or upbringing, is nice to know that we have books like this one that can guide us into more effective ways to use our thinking apparatus. It has been said that we sometimes need more reminding than learning, this book will help you remember what countless other philosophers and sages have said throughout the ages: Our life is and will always be a reflection of our thinking. Enjoy!

Think, and change your life.......2007-05-23

If you change your thinking, you can change your life - that's the authors premise. As any self-help book, this one has numerous overlaps with similar works, but don't let that dissuade you from picking it up, it is a great book. John C. Maxwell offers 11 concise lessons on how to improve your thinking and channel your energy towards your true aspirations. Sprinkled throughout are a number great quotes and examples - even if you're a seasoned veteran of the self-help section, this one will help you reinforce the lessons learned.

great concept.......2007-03-15

we see most of what Maxwell has written in our daily lives but I never managed to put it all together. Great idea John, it clears it up for me and helps me "think" better and more efficiently. great book.

Maxwell's Clear Presentation = Excellent Book.......2007-02-28

I have been impressed with every John Maxwell book I have read. This one is no exception. Maxwell presents his ideas on how thinking can change your life clearly and backs them up with stories, quotes, and examples of how people have changed their life by altering their thoughts. But the ideas are not completely original. Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" promised many of the same results by changing your thoughts more than fifty years earlier. Yet, Maxwell's book is still worth reading, not because of the uniqueness of the book's concepts, but rather for the presentation of such. He makes it easy for someone wanting to change their life by including exercises at the end of each chapter that, I am convinced, would put one on the path towards excellence. If you want to change your life for the better, begin with Maxwell, an excellent leader and motivator who walks the walk to give credibility to everything he says.
