Book Description
This fascinating book reveals the full range of William Wegman’s art. Beloved by the general public for signature photographs of his troupe of Weimaraners, Wegman is also an immensely important figure in the contemporary art world.
A pioneer video-maker, conceptualist, performer, photographer, painter, draftsman, and writer, Wegman moves fluidly among various media: from conceptual works to commissioned magazine shots; from videos shown in museums to television segments made for Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live; from artist’s books parodying nineteenth-century naturalist studies to children’s books revealing tongue-in-cheek portraits of town and country life; from photographic “landscapes” employing his canine muses to his most recent cycle of landscapes combining found scenic souvenir postcards with drawing, collage, and painting. Underlying all his creations is the light humor of “funny” mediating the darker human comedy of “strange.” Speaking to the absurdities of daily life, Wegman’s work is universally appealing.
William Wegman: Funney—Strange is illustrated with some 250 images. It is the first retrospective volume to consider the artist’s entire career from the 1960s to the 2000s and is an essential book for any fan of Wegman’s work.

The "Far Side" of Photography and Art.......2007-03-24
A delightful book of wonderful off-the-wall fine art photographs and drawings by one of the wildest and cleverest artists around today - reminiscent of "The Far Side" cartoons of Gary Larson. Much more here than the humorous dog photos for which Wegman is best known. I saw the exhibit at the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach a few months ago, and couldn't wait to get home to order the book.
Book Description
Panoramic display of evolving styles ranges from ornate gowns of the mid-1800s, widened by hoop skirts, to turn-of-the-century fashions that produced balloon sleeves, diminished bustles, and close-fitting skirts. Hundreds of delightful images of elegant dresses, hats, shoes, handbags, undergarments, and much more. "A superb resource." — History in Review.

Must-have adjunct to the Blum and Olian books on Victorian fashion.......2006-08-13
Every student of 19th-century fashion needs to have six books from Dover Publications in his or her library:
- Victorian Fashions and Costumes from 'Harper's Bazar', Stella Blum;
- Victorian and Edwardian Fashions from La Mode Illustree, Joanne Olian;
- Wedding Fashions 1860-1912, Joanne Olian;
- Victorian and Edwardian Fashion: A Photographic Survey, Alison Gernsheim;
- English Women's Clothing in the Nineteenth Century, C. Willett Cunnington;
- and this book.
Carol Grafton's book is really more of an assemblage of pictures for illustrators than anything else, but what pictures! Over 900 B&W drawings lovingly display every little detail of the elaborate costumes of the Victorian and early Edwardian eras from the mid-1850's to 1903. This book doesn't have much in the way of text so it's not as comprehensive a research resource as some of the others that I've mentioned, but as an auxiliary resource to the other books on the above list, it's perfect.
super resource for writers.......2005-06-05
I would rank this book just behind Victorian Fashions and Costumes from Harper's Bazar, 1867-1898 (Dover Pictorial Archives) by Stella Blum and Full-Color Victorian Fashions : 1870-1893 by JoAnne Olian. If you have to be selected go with the first two before this one, but I still highly recommend this to round out the collection. More than 900 very detailed crisp drawing from the marvelous people at Dover Publishing again. They bring you inexpensive books that are a wealth of information, writers of period romance just cannot live without.

Book Description
Widely considered the best storyline of this Eisner Award-winning series. When one of the key members of a popular supergroup is found violently murdered, the events that follow unveil the federal government's multi-layered control of the super-hero elite and how far they will go to cover up. Walker and Pilgrim are forced to make choices that will forever change their lives and careers... and how the world at large will see their heroes.

Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03
A completely commercialised superteam of three young black people starts to lose members, and they have been killed by a power, that is obvious. Walker and Pilgrim have to investigate, and they discover that there is a very dirty secret at the bottom of this case. The FBI get involved because of this, as does the group's corporate arm.
Super Powers.......2007-01-02
Supergroup, the fourth trade paperback volume of Brian Michael Bendis' series Powers, continues to entertain and may be the best collection yet. Though the first story arc, Who Killed Retro Girl, remains, in my mind, the most powerful, due to its personal connection to Det. Christian Walker, one of the two leads, this one is full of great action, suspense, and personal drama.
In this collection, we are introduced to the team LG-3, a trio of powers who are apparently very popular in the world of Powers. They make millions off of marketing and they recently had a movie released that quickly rose to the top of the box office charts. However, the arc starts out with one of the members "leaving" the team. It isn't clear whether he left on his own or if he was asked to, but it is clear that he was very
unhappy with the two people who are supposed to be his lifelong friends. Soon after, one of the other member of LG-3 is violently killed; it seems as if a bomb were placed within him, as he pretty much exploded.
Walker and his partner Deena Pilgrim, two detectives who specialize in powers-related homicides, are put on the case. As they begin questioning Boogie Girl, the third member of LG-3, they begin to see that something is a little off about this group of friends and heroes, and when Boogie Girl completely loses her mind and unleashes her powers on Walker, Pilgrim, and the other people attending the questioning (including her seedy lawyer), they are forced to reevaluate the accepted opinions of the origins and
personalities of LG-3.
As the story plays out, Walker and Pilgrim learn of a strange conspiracy that details the origins of the group. But in order to get to the bottom of things, Walker is forced to delve into his past as Diamond, his powers identity that he used before he was robbed of his abilities.
Supergroup is a superb story. However, it does have a few flaws. First and foremost, this collection continues the tradition of the Powers trades losing some dialogue and art in the binding. Obviously, this is a problem with the format, not the story. I find it very annoying that Image can't seem to find a way to bind the book so that we don't lose anything important. Strangely, the only other book I've read that this is an issue with is Alias, which is another Bendis book (I have the omnibus, and on one page, some stuff gets lost). Another problem is the pacing. While the story is great overall, I've noticed that this, along with the previous Powers story arcs, start off a tad boring, then get over-the-top amazing towards the end. Obviously, Bendis saves the best stuff for the end, but the beginning of the stories shouldn't be so hard to get through. A friend of mine told me that Bendis tends to write for trades, making arcs 5 or 6 issues long and reserving the exposition for the first 1 or 2 issues and the action and final twists for the last issues. I am beginning to see that he was right, and this can act as both a blessing and curse for Bendis.
Still, Powers is a great read and is an interesting look at superheroes. It is a book that any superhero fan should read.
Powers gets back on track........2006-03-13
Brian Michael Bendis, Powers: Supergroup (Image, 2003)
After the pothole that was Little Deaths, Bendis gets Powers back on track with book four, Supergroup. We first heard about the breakup of powers supergroup FG-3 in passing in Little Deaths; now, it takes center stage when ex-FG-3 member Benmarley dies under the most mysterious of circumstances. With Wazz in seclusion and Boogie Girl a distraught mess who, when she gets mad, gives a whole new meaning to the term "flare up," Walker and Pilgrim have to figure out what happened to Benmarley, and whether whoever got to him is going to come after the surviving FG-3 members.
It's great to see the series back on track. Bendis is at his best when he's got a story arc to follow, and he's got a fine one here. Things play out on the grandest of scales, and the combination of intrigue, action, and a stunning ending is bound to leave the reader begging to find out what happens next. If you dropped Powers after Little Deaths, I strongly suggest giving it one more chance; this is the good stuff, right here. *** ½
Powers takes it up a notch.......2004-04-07
Bendis really takes a serious step up with this volume. I would put this one on equal footing with the first volume "Who Killed Retro Girl". The dialogue is outstanding (as always) and Oeming's cartoonish style of art, together with the dark moody colors give the work a serious undertone that really packs a punch.
After a mildly lackluster volume 2, and a rather rushed and padded volume 3, Supergroup takes our heros to higher peaks and deeper valleys than before. The usually familiar government conspiracy idea is given greater meaning and impact due to the truly tragic circumstances that befall the main players here. Bendis and Oeming work together perfectly to bring out the raw emotion that needs to be on display to effectively tell this kind of story. The entire Powers universe is ultimately in jeopardy here, and I am very intrigued to find out how this whole thing plays out.
Some comics and subsequent TPB series just continue on, maintaining a staus quo, often without really challenging the reader. Bendis and Oeming appear to be reaching for new heights with volume 4 of the Powers series. I am very much looking forward to voume 5. If you started out with Powers at volume 1, and were disappointed with vol. 2 or 3, I highly recommend that you jump back on the Powers train and get Supergroup.
Not as strong as others, but a good read........2004-03-12
If "Powers" were strictly what it appears to be - cops investigating superhero homicides - it would be a one-joke show. But like the better police procedurals, it examines the detectives and their motivations. Christian Walker was once a Power, and he knows more than anyone about what it is to be a superhero - a LOT more, as the later books show. In this book, without Walker being a "Dirty Harry," he risks everything he has to bring the case of the "FG-3" murders to some kind of conclusion. Bendis seemed to be feeling his way around his unusual theme in this story arc, and he did wander a bit, but this book was the first hint that "Powers" was something more than a cliched dark and cynical look at superheroes.
Book Description
Visceral, raw, and utterly lewd and rude, these more than 6,500 off-color phrases provide a guided tour of sexual wordscapes. Categories include body parts (men's and women's); states of arousal and frustration; masturbation and orgasm; intercourse in a dazzling variety of positions and occasions; oral sex, kinky sex, gay and bi sex, promiscuity, virginity, prostitution, and many other commercial aspects of sex. The era of safe sex has brought a new, imaginative coinage of terms for contraception, venereal disease, and AIDS. Sources range from the latest street slang and popular music lyrics, to classical literary allusions, fascinating etymologies, and words that rhyme-all perfect for use in homegrown limericks and greeting cards. Bonus: George Carlin's famous 1970s "12 words you can't say on TV," along with their latest competitors. It's like a red-light district of language!

Sexy Slang Words.......2006-08-13
Great place to find other Words and Phrases for the same meanings of anything to do with sexy.
It Is What It Claims.......2005-04-24
There are seemingly endless lists of slang terms for everything to do with one's sex or the act itself. The small-sized book is thorough if anything, dividing up the collection of terms into minute categories for easy finding and including the date of origination for the term or additional description where possible. There are cheesy line drawings illustrating some of the odd terms, apparently just in an effort to plug up the white space left by the lists upon lists of terms.
This book is a great reference if you're interested in where/when terms stemmed from or looking for outdated or little known slang to add to your own vocabulary to baffle your friends while sitting at the bar with nothing better to do. Otherwise, the book would only be a useful resource for a writer or other word-sleuth if you're writing a period piece with untactful characters. How else could you ever utilize your new awareness of terms like "gristle-gripper" or "dormouse" for female genitalia and "cranny-haunter" or "flap-doodle" for males?
This isn't a useful guide for modern writers of erotica, unless only for your own amusement. Worst of all, the bar of soap pictured on the front cover needs to lose the token pubic hair. It looks so real that I keep wanting to pick it off...
Expand your vocabulary and shame your mom in one fell swoop!.......2004-04-09
This book is a big book of words describing sex...all kinds of sex....but the best thing about this book...is that it gives reference dates and countries that the saying are attributed to.
This book is great for some laughs...and the perfect gift for the foul mouthed in your family...or writers....or both.
funny reference for the lexicon geek.......2003-11-26
If you like reference books like I do, you can never have enough lexicons at your disposal. I thought I knew a lot of the slang referring to things normally covered by bathing suits, but I was mistaken. Tons of stuff I didn't even imagine. Some of the terms are 19th Century slang and are no longer used... and the reason for their use is not always obvious or explained.
The few sparse illustrations are absolutely hilarious, but they are just cartoons to pepper the book, not diagrams.
My less than perfect rating is due to the lack of true history behind the terms, especially those from the 1960s and earlier... just citing that it was coined in a particular year.
Also, there are terms I have heard repeatedly on TV & movies that were not cited here. There are no references as to where they collected their data, so the book becomes more of a funny bathroom humor compendium instead of a reliable lexicon.
Whenever you need an arsenal of foul words, or you need to look up that term you just overheard your teenager say on the phone, however, this is a handy reference for those of us less informed in the realm of lockerroom banter.
How to sound educated about the down & dirty.......2003-06-16
This is one of the funniest books I've picked up in a while. Its really just a listing of terminology and euphemisms for sexuality and the like. If you ever wanted to boost your dirty word list, here's your book.
I read a few reviews, one in particular complains that this isn't the best book on the subject, but I don't see any alternate choices listed. Ok, maybe this is or isn't THE definitive guide to the subject, but its pretty good, and pretty cheap.
Book Description
Beyond Bollywood is the first comprehensive look at the emergence, development, and significance of contemporary South Asian diasporic cinema. From a feminist and queer perspective, Jigna Desai explores the hybrid cinema of the "Brown Atlantic" through a close look at films in English from and about South Asian diasporas in the United States, Canada, and Britain, including such popular films as My Beautiful Laundrette, Fire, Monsoon Wedding, and Bend it Like Beckham.
Customer Reviews:
an assertion or appeal to a cultural identity.......2006-06-22
Bollywood is a vast cultural melange of its own. Quite distinct in many respects from the better known Hollywood. Desai gives the reader an indepth analysis of Bollywood. Not at a vapid, superficial level of a star-struck tabloid. Instead, the book explains the complex interplay of sex, race, religion and nationalism. Not all of these appear in the same movie, of course. But the survey across the ensemble of Bollywood movies reveals a tangle of threads.
Now what of "diasporic" in the title? It refers in part to the marketing of films towards an Indian or Pakistani immigrant community in Europe or North America. In part to assert or appeal to a cultural identity amongst this diaspora, that garners an audience. One way to compete against mainstream Hollywood films, that have far greater budgets.
Insightful analysis of wide range of Indian films.......2004-11-21
This book looks at all the well-known films-- My Beautiful Laundrette, Mississippi Masala, Monsoon Wedding, Bend It Like Beckham. But it goes beyond to also examine films that aren't as talked about in the U.S.-- Fire, My Son the Fanatic, Bhaji on the Beach, and Masala. Throughout, Desai's analysis is in-depth, yet also accessible for the non-academic who just likes to read about Indian movies. Drawing on feminist and queer theory, Beyond Bollywood guides us to a fuller understanding of the significance of these films.
This book is a must-have!.......2004-02-16
I can't image that any bookshelf would be complete without this book on it. Jigna Desai is astute and clever, and her writing is both complex and accessible. It is clear that she is an expert on Bollywood, and her critical perspectives left me wanting more. This is a great book!!!

Book Description
Although scholars have long been aware of the crucial roles that gender plays in music, and vice versa, the contributors to this volume are among the first to systematically examine the interactions between the two. This book is also the first to explore the diverse, yet often strikingly similar, musics of the areas bordering the Mediterranean from comparative anthropological perspectives.
From Spanish flamenco to Algerian raï, Greek rebetika to Turkish pop music, Sephardi and Berber songs to Egyptian belly dancers, the contributors cover an exceedingly wide range of geographic and musical territories. Individual essays examine musical behavior as representation, assertion, and sometimes transgression of gender identities; compare men's and women's roles in specific musical practices and their historical evolution; and explore how music and gender relate to such issues as ethnicity, nationality, and religion. Anyone studying the musics or cultures of the Mediterranean, or more generally the relations between gender and the arts, will welcome this book.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent case studies for a little-studied theme.......2007-01-04
This compilation of case studies from different regions around the Mediterranean is packed with concise, but extremely well-written and informative, analyses of the specific interactions between genders and social spheres in the context of the playing/performing of music and/or dance. Excellent resource for anyone interested in issues of cultural performance, gender identity, and music and dance in North Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, and southern Europe.
What's more, the various authors all read remarkably smoothly and this makes the information in ths volume all the more accessible. 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up!
Book Description
For players hungry to win hold'em and Omaha tournaments, the world's greatest tournament player gives specific advice on how to get to the final table where the big money is made-and then how to win it all! Players learn how to build up enough chips to make it to the final table and give themselves the best chance of winning the title, the trophy, and the money, using the same strategies that have taken T.J. Cloutier to the championship table of more tournaments than any player in the history of poker. Thirty-five chapters discuss key concepts: stack sizes, antes and blinds, table position, opponents styles, chip count of players, number of tables remaining, and tons of other concepts found nowhere else.
Customer Reviews:
Write a storybook next time, T. J........2007-06-06
I love watching T. J. Cloutier play, so I jumped on this book with anticipation. Basically, it's a long discourse in which he takes every opportunity to tell you to play good hands and do your best to get paid off for them, and never stop studying your opponents.
Although the author uses tournament theory throughout, he never particularly explains it, or ties it in to his exposition, except in the discussion of when to go all in in the big blind.
He breaks down the exposition by number of players left and stack sizes, but his advice for playing the big and medium stacks is almost indistinguishable. He does give some good advice on which players to attack and which to stay away from, but it's slightly spoiled by the
superstitious injunction, repeated two or three times, to stay out of the way of players "on a rush." If you always do that, you'll miss your chances to stop someone's "rush," now, won't you?
There's a chapter where he goes over the critical hands from the 2005 WSOP $5000 No-Limit Hold'em event. This is the high point of the book, but if you compare the commentary here with the kind of analysis Harrington gets into in Harrington on Hold 'em: Expert Strategies for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. III--The Workbook (Harrington on Hold'em), it's pretty airy.
What one does get out of this book is a sense of how much patience one has to apply, and (at least vaguely) what standards to use on one's hands. For some players, this will be a needed tonic.
In many places throughout, the author admits he's just pointing to something he can't teach directly; he can give you an idea just how well-developed a top player's intuition and sense of timing are, but give only a couple of hints on how to get to that point: paraphrasing, they would be "study your opponents" and "remember your mistakes."
The advice in this book is tailored for big tournaments with relatively deep stacks. In the tournaments most of us play, we'll bubble out if we try to follow T.J.'s advice without adjustment, which is exactly the problem the book sets out to solve.
I do wish all my opponents would read this book, though, especially the ones who keep overplaying KJ and drawing out on me.
Terrible. .......2006-09-22
Don't believe the positive reviews, this book is awful. It's rambling, imprecise, and purely anecdotal, the worst example of the unhelpful "play the player" style of the lesser poker books. Over and over again TJ's grand sum total of advice in all kinds of different situations is to "learn your opponents" so you can "make moves" and "then you can really play poker". And that is it, the entire enumeration of the "strategy". Nothing about how to go about actually -learning- your opponents, nothing about -moves- to make, nothing about his way of -really playing poker-.
The scenarios he sets up are the same thing you have heard a hundred times elsewhere. Anyone who has read other books (or played tournaments) will already have a firm grasp on basic beginner logic like, "if you're seriously short stacked, you've got to gamble". Just compare that to the in-depth examination of M and Q done by Harrington in his series.
Anyone who hasn't read other books (and doesn't have much experience) will not find advice in this book that will improve their game.
There is ONE actual concrete move described in this book, and that's the fact that when there's a preflop raise, TJ likes to reraise to steal the blinds + the original raise, which allows him to keep even for a few orbits. The rest of this book is at the level of advising you to "get your money in with the best hand".
The final insult in the book is to recite the action of ESPN-televised knockout hands from the 2005 WSOP $5000 NL event. Great. But there's barely any _analysis_ of the hands, what was done right and wrong, what Cloutier might do differently or emphasize. Just a flat recitation of what was shown on TV. (I can't say there was _no_ analysis. Cloutier does at one point add the insight that "sometimes you just have to make the decision to go for it.") Again, compare to Harrington's deep analysis of D'Agostino vs Ivey.
Just an awful book from an otherwise great player, a cheap attempt to cash in on the televised NL tournament poker craze, can't hold a candle to Cloutier's earlier (highly regarded) works with Tom McEvoy or the absolutely brilliant new standard for NL tourneys defined by Harrington or the very crisp and insightful ring game advice from Phil Gordon.
Well worth reading.......2006-08-28
Like most of Cloutier's books, this reads like a transcript of conversations with him. It is not that well organized, and more specific examples would be helpful. BUT, you learn about the thought process of one of the best. It is hard to imagine too many serious players, who would not benefit from reading this book and thinking about the ideas. I probably won't re-read this book as often as Harrington or Gordon's, but it will be on the active part of my poker bookshelf.
Inside TJ's Mind.......2006-06-07
I have almost 30 books on Hold'em. Other than Harrington's books which are excellent, almost none put you really, and I mean REALLY inside the mind of the author/player (Erick Lindgren's book does a good job of this though). I've had the good fortune to have met TJ a couple of times, and ask him some questions. But in How To Win The Championship he brings you into his thought process, to the point where he even says that some more mathematical players may not agree, but he does it so-and-so way and here's why. The information is non-stop, with essentially no fluff. But be warned, if you are just a beginning player who hasn't played in a tournament before, he doesn't go into basics and it doesn't tell you what to do at the beginning or middle stages of a tournament. This is really for a bit more experienced player. His book essentially starts off at the point where you are 1 table before getting into the money and goes on from there to heads up. Being a tournament player myself (I don't play cash games much at all), this book is perfect. I better understand why I've hit walls in the past and how I need to adjust my play to win or at least get into the top 3. I get in the money a reasonable number of times in live tournaments but have real trouble breaking into that upper pay echelon. He gives great advice on how not to flame out when you just make it into the money but not into the bigger money. Really key points that I haven't seen in other books. I realize that at some point we all need to stop buying all these books (yeah, learning never stops but 30 books? I must be a junkie!), but I really can say if you want to improve your tournament play, TJ's book is a must. His writing style is like he's talking to you about exactly what he does and why (also what he doesn't do and why you shouldn't either).
Chapters include:
* When you're one table away from the money
* When you've made it to the first money table
* When you've made it to the second money table
* When you've made it to the final table
* Six-handed at the final table
* Playing three-handed and heads up at the final table
* Several chapters on tournament strategies and some other thoughts.
As you can see, this book's content is pretty specific and I haven't seen this in other books. In fact, in many of those chapters, he further breaks them down into if you are a short, medium or big stack, because the size of your chip stack greatly influences the types of situations that you should get involved in. It's like you've got a coach you can talk to as you continue to advance in the tournament...especially useful for those who haven't been into the money or final table before or keep seeming to make mistakes and missing the big money.
Overall, highly recommended and it absolutely will pay for itself, whether you play in live or online tournaments.

The Book Is Actually An Ad For His $497 Course.......2007-09-12
This book is FULL of commercials but void of any specific information you can apply to your life. His advice on everything from getting credit cards, auto loans, installment loans, mortgages, what ever, is to research everything out there and interview every loan officer, credit mangager etc out there, and find the best deal.
This book, his internet site, and his "free" seminar are all in effect teases to get you to buy his "Increase Your Credit Scores - Improve Your Lifestyle" course which costs $497. Presumably, some actually utilizable information is in that.
Bankruptcy.......2007-03-22
There is a moderate amount of useful information about life after bankruptcy. Probably half of the information can be found on the internet. However, the author should not have used the bankruptcy information as a cover for preaching his religious beliefs. I felt mislead.
