Book Description
Breaking Designer?s Block is a vast collection of some of the most varied work from the world?s leading designers. This book is broken down into three core areas: color, type, and materials.
The color section opens with a historical look at the colors pallets that have dominated each decade from 1900 through to the end of the century and is followed by an extensive collection of graphic work whose use of color has driven the design of that piece. Whether bold or subtle, symbolic or clich?, each piece is inspired and well crafted.
The type section opens in the same manner as the color section but focuses on the various fonts that have been popular over the decades. This feature offers readers the ability to use accurate historical design treatments in their work for appropriate projects. This section is followed by a collection of 12 top designers from around the world who are known for their powerful use of type including: Jonathan Barnbrook, Typerware, Plazm Media, Smay Vision, Fred Woodward / Rolling Stone magazine, and DJ Stout.
The final section of the book takes a look at a wide array of innovative graphic design pieces that have incorporated imaginative materials to convey powerful messages, and connect with audiences on a deeper level. This exceptional collection, from fur-covered books to Christmas cards stitched on men?s briefs, clearly demonstrates the remarkable power that designers have to engender wonder, excitement, and a sense of ownership, in today's consumers.
An invaluable resource for fresh ideas, Breaking Designer?s Block will stimulate and inspire designers to open their minds--and their art--to create work that is memorable, thought provoking and visually driven.

Awful 'type tracker' section.......2005-05-18
While there are a lot of very nice case studies in this book, and the notes on colour usage are probably worth the cover price, the type tracker section is just plain wrong. True it's only a sixteen page section in a 356 page book, but as any designer will tell you 'it's all in the details...'
The publishers blurb states 'The type section... focuses on the various fonts that have been popular over the decades. This feature offers readers the ability to use accurate historical design treatments in their work for appropriate projects.'
I disagree with this statement, I disagree with Cheryl Dangel Cullens' analyses of the 'period' fonts reproduced on these pages and above all I would urge readers to find better historical type reference elsewhere.

Diana: The Portrait
ASIN: 0847821374
Release Date: 1998-08-15 |
Book Description
With the exclusive support of many who knew and loved Diana, Princess of Wales, this book celebrates and examines the way she presented herself to the world-in her look, her smile, her choice of dress, even her hairstyle.
From the moment the innocent young nanny stepped into the very public role of Princess, her innermost thoughts and emotions had to remain concealed. Yet her sense of herself was inexorably conveyed through her manner of dress and her public demeanor as she passed through the many phases of her public life.
Through her insight as an insider and internationally admired fashion editor, Georgina Howell tells of the fairy-tale transformation of Diana. Photo- reportage and lavish official portraits by royal photographer Anwar Hussein and the world's greatest fashion photographers explore every carefully planned public face and mood of the Princess-ingenue, bride, madonna, supermodel, nemesis, icon.

Wonderful close-ups of Christie's auction dresses.......2006-06-25
My favorite thing about this book is the many close-ups of the materials in many of the dreeses that the Princess Diana wore. Seeing the intricate bead work onont the pink Cahterine Walker dress that she wore on the Indian tour in 1992, gave me such an added appreciation to the beauty of that dress.There is another really nice close up of the beautiful lilac Lot 52. There are many other close-ups of many of her gowns, too many to mention. This book is on my "must have" list.
Not much new.......2002-02-12
This book didn't add much. Most of the information and pictures have been seen elsewhere.
A Little Too Fawning, but the Catalog is Great.......1999-08-27
Georgina Howell clearly takes the Andrew Morton (read Diana) point of view on the Princess's persecution by the palace and casts her as a kind of saint in a fashion-conscious hagiography. The text was a little too hyperbolic in deifying Diana, yet perhaps that is appropriate, as few have done so much for fashion in our century.
But this book has redeeming qualities that make it worth the time. First, it does cite instances of Diana's fashion faux pas that are gossipy and interesting, for example her dressing-gown dress by David Sassoon and her slip-style dress by John Galiano for Dior. It is also quite meticulous about citing designers and recounting their memories of dressing Di. This humanizes a commercial name and gives the reader a sense of what her patronage meant to these fashion houses.
The best aspects of the book are the appendices listing the auction catalog by piece and the designer listing with short biographies. This is a wealth of specific information that couture-ophiles will love.
THE FIRST COFFEE TABLE BOOK I'VE READ COVER TO COVER..........1999-06-19
Georgina Howell has provided the world with a unique perspective on how Princess Diana revealed her inner thoughts and feelings through her outward style and clothing. This book is especially meaningful to me because it was a gift from my sister Darla who joined me at the Christies Auction in 1997 and travelled with me to Althorp last summer. She wrote a small poem on the gift card and ended by saying "We sat with celebrities of glamour amid, waiting for Christies to open the bid. We bid and we raised until bowing to fate, but our memories are captured on Page 208." And sure enough, there we are: my sister, myself and Bid Paddle #212.
A BIOGRAPHY AND CHRISTIE'S AUCTION CATALOG IN ONE.......1999-04-30
A very interesting study in how a person's clothing reflects what is going on in that person's life! The back has short bios of the fashion designers of Diana's clothing/shoes/hats, and a listing of the dresses sold at the auction. For those of us who don't own a copy of the auction catalog, this is almost as good as having one. HOWEVER, the critic before me is right: too many typos for the money!
Product Description
There are beings in the universe billions of years older than any of our races. Once, long ago, they walked among the stars like giants, vast, timeless. Taught the younger races, explored beyond the rim, created great empires, but to all things, there is an end. Slowly, over a million years, the First Ones went away. Some passed beyond the stars never to return. Some simply disappeared. Some are still here. Agents of Order and Sowers of Chaos, the Vorlons and Shadows remained behind to guide the younger races. They cloaked themselves in mystery and legend, influencing events on a galactic scale through subtle machinations. The elder races are the grey eminences of Babylon 5, never stepping into the light. Until now. Darkness and Light cover the history of these elder races from the dawn of time until a million years hence, exploring their beliefs, plots, technologies and servitor races. Both sides of this epic and ancient conflict will be fully explored.
Book Description
The original hardcover Superbad from McSweeney’s was a collection of two dozen pieces ranging from postmodern satire to more serious fiction. The lot of it has been remixed — much like popular music — and reprinted in trade paper. The result: a challenging novel with a clear set of themes and characters, tightly constructed and intricately interwoven. As Susan Minot writes, Greenman’s mind is hard to pin down and can be likened to that of "a Russian short story writer, a slapstick gag writer, an art critic, a literary critic, a cultural commentator, a cowboy, a satirist, a scientist ... a surrealist, a nut and genius, a stand-up comedian, a child prodigy, a dreamer, and a poet."
Customer Reviews:
Talent on loan from...........2004-01-20
Greenman showcases his abilities as a writer in this selection of newer and older pieces. I hope a novel is forthcoming from this brilliant young author. Greenman transcends the finest writers of his generation with his humor and his irony as well as with his sympathetic exploration of human emotions.

Book Description
Ben Greenman's raucous new collection of stories and pieces ranges from the traditional to the impossible, from the Italian to the Russian, from the musical to the minimal. Greenman constructs layer upon layer of artifice, filling the spaces between with thousands of smooth, brown pellets of insight and humor. An editor at the New Yorker and a frequent contributor to McSweeney's , Greenman seamlessly assimilates Borges, Bartheleme, Chekhov and Calvino, developing asensibility at once wholly contemporary and tenderly reminiscent.
Customer Reviews:

Funny and Smart.......2005-10-15
I ran across this book at a friend's house and I was pretty impressed. There are at least a dozen different ideas, sometimes at cross-purposes, but they're handled very intelligently. The reviewer who found this book pretentious has the wrong idea, I think -- parts of it are supposed to parody pretention. To each his own, I guess, but I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more books from this author.
Pretentious Drivel.......2005-09-14
It's not hard to find bad writing, or boring yet well-written prose, but it's a rarity (at least for me) to stumble upon well-written, yet horribly boring and mostly pointless material. That's what we have here. These pieces are almost exclusively pretentious, annoying, and uninsightful, to the point where I would agree with another reviewer that this author is simply trying TOO HARD. This is a book best reserved for an expository writing class, especially one that focuses on word usage and syntax. Other than that, do yourself a favor and take a pass on this one.
Moved to write.......2002-12-08
I never planned to write a review of this book, but I read the Joan Finaly review and a few things about it outraged me. I don't know if this other reviewer has followed Ben Greenman's work on the McSweeney's Website, but so much of what he does is about breaking down expectations exactly like this: that stories have to be a certain length, or that attention spans have to begin and end within a single story. There are are longer stories in this book, but I don't think that's the point. Neither is some old lady's concept of unity or coherentness. I'm not saying the book is perfect. It's annoying lots of the time. But there are too few books like this, and too many readers like that.
EN201 -- Intro to Creative Writing.......2002-11-13
Superbad is, in part, inspired and, regretfully, often tired. It reads like the results of a college semester-long introduction to Creative Writing, the assignments of which lie within the bound pages of this book. Mr. Greenman has some true gems here, and as a prose essayist he excels (read the interview with the founder of Nearism for proof). However, too often the short pieces in Superbad ask, "Is this really writing? Is there a plot?" The reader begins to ask these same questions, and too often the work becomes tiresome in its quest to challenge and redefine contemporary fiction and prose writing styles.
Toward the end of this book, I began to wonder if Mr. Greenman could sit still long enough to compose a complete work of prose, either in novel form or a continous narrative, or if he becomes too bored or disinterested to do so. There is great merit in writing the short story, which is a true talent indeed, but even Mr. Greenman's short pieces seem incomplete.
A frustrating piece, that shines in parts, but is unrealized in others.

Book Description
The black man suffering at the hands of whites, the white woman sexually threatened by the black man. Both images have long been burned into the American conscience through popular entertainment, and today they exert a powerful and disturbing influence on Americans' understanding of race. So argues Linda Williams in this boldly inquisitive book, where she probes the bitterly divisive racial sentiments aroused by such recent events as O. J. Simpson's criminal trial. Williams, the author of Hard Core, explores how these images took root, beginning with melodramatic theater, where suffering characters acquire virtue through victimization.
The racial sympathies and hostilities that surfaced during the trial of the police in the beating of Rodney King and in the O. J. Simpson murder trial are grounded in the melodramatic forms of Uncle Tom's Cabin and The Birth of a Nation. Williams finds that Stowe's beaten black man and Griffith's endangered white woman appear repeatedly throughout popular entertainment, promoting interracial understanding at one moment, interracial hate at another. The black and white racial melodrama has galvanized emotions and fueled the importance of new media forms, such as serious, "integrated" musicals of stage and film, including The Jazz Singer and Show Boat. It also helped create a major event out of the movie Gone With the Wind, while enabling television to assume new moral purpose with the broadcast of Roots. Williams demonstrates how such developments converged to make the televised race trial a form of national entertainment.
When prosecutor Christopher Darden accused Simpson's defense team of "playing the race card," which ultimately trumped his own team's gender card, he feared that the jury's sympathy for a targeted black man would be at the expense of the abused white wife. The jury's verdict, Williams concludes, was determined not so much by facts as by the cultural forces of racial melodrama long in the making. Revealing melodrama to be a key element in American culture, Williams argues that the race images it has promoted are deeply ingrained in our minds and that there can be no honest discussion about race until Americans recognize this predicament.
Customer Reviews:
Written on the Body.......2001-07-05
This is Film Studies of the first order. Williams takes the idea of melodrama as a mode and intersects it with issues of race and its representation. According to her, in conjuction with the popularity or in the legitimization of a particular medium in American society, the representations of the black male and female bodies take on center stage and gain new significations. The book starts out with Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and shows how it stays and strays away from the conventions of the Victorian novel. It then focuses on the Stowe's characterization of the black bodies and how they elicited the sympathy of the readers. Next, it shows how Dixon, with his novel "The Clansmen,' either changes or reverses Stowe's characterizations and themes to elicit another kind of response. However, it is D.W. Griffith's adaptation of the novel, "Birth of the Nation" that had a powerful influence in the society's imagination. Not only did the film legitimize the medium as an art form, it also gave the public a new way of understanding race relations in America. The book covers both the novel and the movie adaptation of "Gone With the Wind" and other cultural texts and ends with the televised trial of O.J. Simpson while keeping on the other eye issues of representation. Linda Williams' project is both multi-disciplinary and multi-media and she weaves them together in a rich study of melodrama as a cultural mode and the ever evolving nature of race relations and representations in our society. She wittily uses Henry James' imagery of the 'leaping fish' to show how melodrama dynamically moves from one medium to the next. Each time it makes an appearance in a big way, it also entails a recasting of black and white or racial representations. Williams achievement lies in her ability to pull together a variety of texts and approaches to engage upon the central issue of race. And she does this in clear, well-written prose. Although this is more like a work of cultural criticism, the book also opens up the possibilities of film studies as a powerful lens or a way of approaching cinema-related queries and dealing with socio-historical matters.

intrestingly broad.......2007-08-06
Heres a read that will have you bashing your head into the nearest wall.Its a great book, but the writers go off on these tangents about golden monkey butts and celestrial sewing machines, and blah, blah, blah... if you play the game, it cool information to have, as well as having thier perspective. if your reading it for the hell of it,then break out the stereo instuctions, a thesaurus, and a bottle of advil, because some of portions of the book can be bit droolingly boring. What the book really needed was more art work, i don't think it commanded the same artistic feel as the other books. you figure a book with all that material and fantasy with the sidereal martial arts, the artists would have hade a perfect moment with inspiration...,but no.
any way, enjoy the book and happy shoppen.
Atmospheric Nicely Decorated...Stereo Instructions.......2004-12-18
Sidereal is a hardcover that presents a new "faction" of Exalted - the Sidereal, the weavers of Fate and the manipulators of Destiny. It's an interesting concept, but something that requires yoiu be very "in" to the particular setting. You alternate between fulfilling the objectives of your superiors and the gods you serve (the Maidens of the Chosen), some adventuring on your own, and working in the Celestial Heaven (of the Chinese variety - a big bureaucracy) and negotiating with the gods. And running your own schemes and plans in the real world when you get a chance in your busy schedule.
Which is part of why I'm not sure you'd want to run a Sidereal campaign. They're easily forgotten (by other Exalteds isn't quite as clear), work behind the scenes, compared to other Exalteds their numbers are small, and if they die it takes a while for them to come back...although they do come back, unlike Dragon-Blooded. They touch on this briefly in the back, but it's still a bit awkward.
The background and setting stuff is useful, but then we get into the game mechanics. The Charms are okay - powerful, somewhat oblique (what does stealing someone's name really _do_ again, other then make it difficult for them to be invited to parties? :) ), and a bit...quirky. Larceny charms steal just about anything except...well, real stuff for the most part.
But the astrology rules - oi vei! Complicated and not a lot of major impact for the effort. The rules aren't very linear, and as seems to be the current trend in a lot of RPGs, no examples are given.
There is a random "assignment" chart for missions the Sidereals go on to change fate, often times without knowing what the long-term implications of what they're accomplishing will be. There's a kind of "butterfly effect" to their missions ("Make sure X marries Y"), at least at the lower levels where presumably such campaigns are played. There's kind of a Quantum Leap feel to this part.
Also, for the first time the chapter fiction took a bit of a dip. The one with the demon-hunting Sidereal is pretty bad, and the one with the hunted Solar who refers to his Charm names in quotes (ugh) is rather awkward.
Overall this book is good quality, but more as a sourcebook that provides some deep insights into the setting. You could run a Sidereal campaign (and I'm sure there are folks out there that do), but it's a bit limited.
Sidestepping the Sidereals.......2004-04-20
After Comparing each of the books I find that White Wolf did not put enough work into the Solar Book, Sidereal Charms by far outstrip anything a Solar has including Magic of the Solar Circle. While the book is colorful and well written it would have been better for them to have put more work into the Solar book Overall
Exalted never fails to shine brightly.......2004-02-26
Exalted is an epic anime-style roleplaying game set in the mythical "Second Age of Man," wherein the universe is ruled by a breed of demigods known as the Exalted. Many different types of Exalted exist (from the mighty Solars to the savage Lunars and decadent Dragon-Blooded), but with this hardbound, the circle is now complete and the last, and most enigmatic, Exalt type is at last revealed for all to play.
Exalted: the Sidereals has complete rules on playing and Storytelling these most mysterious of Exalts. The opening chapter deals with Yu-Shan, the bureaucratic and corruption-ridden home of the gods, the beings that created the Exalted. Further chapters deal with the Sidereals, their place in Heaven, and how they manipulate destiny. While weaker than Solar Exalted, Sidereals are nothing to sneeze at.
I heavily recommend this hardbound sourcebook to all players and Storytellers of Exalted.
ah, fate!.......2003-11-02
I wasn't a big fan of Exalted until I read Exalted: The Sidereals. While the Sidereal Exalted are far from being the powerhouses of the Solar or Lunar Exalts, their charms are by far the most flavorful, and subtle. Whereas a SOlar will whip out casually with the obscenely powerful attacks, a Sidereal could sidestep fate to change the outcome of a scene... and make it seem as though that's just the way it should be. If you are looking for a more subtle, political game with more than the realm to offer, then i HIGHLY suggest picking up The Sidereals.

This book about interview of phamaceutical company is very useful for me.
Thank you for your fast delivery.
Basic interview text.......2007-04-06
Didn't get the job, but the book did help me a little during the multiple interviews. The better option is to call a rep and have a sit-down to go over the ins and outs. If you can't find one, go to your local pharmacy, they'll have contact info for you. Good luck!
3 Days Review.......2007-01-16
Great book! Very different info than other pharmaceutical books. This book is very straight forward and easy to follow. I recommend it for anyone trying to break into the pharmaceutical business.
I guess OK.......2006-08-11
The book I would say is good if you are willing go insanely above and beyond the normal realms of getting a job...most of the info. is pretty easy to figure out on your own, but if structure is needed this can be a good guideline. Over all it did not do much for me, but it might work wonders for others.
Deficient in important information.......2006-06-14
On the positive side, the book is neat and is written with humor. Unfortunately the negatives outweigh the positives. When reading this book, I found that most of the information covers resume writing and how to make contact with pharmaceutical sales reps. I think some of her advice about making contact could prevent you from ever getting a job in pharmaceutical sales because it is so unprofessional. The "how to actually get the job part," the interview, was seriously deficient in information. There were few questions and few answers, and next to nothing about how to prepare for the interview. This one simply does not deliver on the description of the book given.
