Off the Wall Museum Guides for Kids: Greek and Roman Art

Book Description

Make the "classical connection!" Filled with the magic of mythology; images of sports and romance; exploits of appealing superheroes (like Hercules), and epic adventures of the Trojan War, every piece of Greek and Roman art has a story to tell. Introduce budding artists and archeologists to these ancient treasures in the most delightful way. Children will see how to distinguish Greek from Roman culture; learn why the Romans were the "perfect copycats"; find out how to read the images (often of heroes and legends) painted on pots and pictures; meet the gods and goddesses who ruled religion--and the emperors who nearly ruled the world; take a glance at the original Olympics; and step into history during one of the most exciting times of civilization. It will be the most unforgettable visit to a museum ever!

It's Great!.......2001-04-21

I am a health care worker in Amherst, Massachusetts with an interest from childhood in Greek and Roman art. It is a pleasure to recommend Ruthie Knapp and Janice Lehmberg's sparkling museum guide, Greek and Roman Art. This delightfully written work is a perfect guide to the classical collection of any museum, and brings the culture of the ancient world alive for adults and children alike. A wonderful resource indeed!

Greek and Roman Art-Off the Wall Museum Guides for Kids.......2001-04-08

This book is a wonderful guide for all members of the family to use when seeing Greek and Roman art. Although the purpose of the book is to help children enjoy a museum visit, anyone can profit from advice to limit oneself to short museum visits which concentrate on a few objects, rather than trying to stuff the whole museum into one's head in one session.The authors have lots of other good sense suggestions about museum visiting in general.

The format of this short and handy book is most inviting: bright colors, lively illustrations, witty language, interesting facts. The facts are given in words which the reader will find easy to remember.The whole book is peppered with entertaining surprises.

The authors clearly explain to the reader the basics about Greek and Roman art, and how to see differences between them.

I would heartily recommend this small but potent guide to persons of any age who will be visiting collections of Greek and Roman art.

"Once there was a little girl, growing up in a split-level house in suburban Pittsburgh, who loved clothes very much too much, some would say." Twenty-seven articles drawn from 16 years at The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Magazine add up to a very intelligent collection of writing by that little girl who grew up to be fashion journalist Holly Brubach. In lucid, no-bull prose, Brubach compellingly argues that clothes tell us a great deal about who we think we are and how the society around us has shaped those notions. Aptly describing herself as "perhaps slightly cynical but not entirely lacking in the capacity for romance," Brubach appreciates the appeal of the traditional bridal gown (which speaks to "the desire to create something absolute in a world where nothing is certain") but isn't convinced by it ("if weddings reflected all the ambiguities of married life, the bride would wear gray"). She writes entertainingly about models, particularly in a long profile of "self-proclaimed ugly duckling" Kristen McMenamy, without sounding like a gossip columnist; she discerns social significance in Ralph Lauren's vast popularity without sounding like a sociologist. Fashion writing is seldom this stimulating or this much fun. --Wendy Smith

n/a.......2007-05-07

I ordered the books for my boss, so I didn't actually read it. I did however meet the author!

Truly Exceptional.......2000-05-01

Brubach's reporting on fashion is cultural as well as critical, making it some of the most intriguing writing in either the New Yorker, Atlantic, or New York Times in the last decade or more. This elegantly designed but engrossingly readable book is witty, scholarly and insightful, but still the best reason for buying this book is that it's a grand read if if you don't care about fashion as a daily fan. Like all additions to a home library, this illuminates a world from an intelligent, learned perspective. It will become a classic collection of essays.

Quite disappointing.......2000-04-18

Brubach does little to convince me that fashion is not, in fact, shallow and dismissable. She comes close to an epiphany of meaning in an essay about the French and the social reading of personal appearance, then loses her ground totally in an article about large size fashions, exposing her own biases without self-awareness. I only struggled my way through this because I'd both looked forward to it based on advance press (fished in!) and spent good money on it. I don't think I'll keep it; off to Half-Price Books for Holly.

A serious study of the fashion world.......2000-02-16

Reader beware: if you buy this book expecting to find a fun, entertaining read about clothes, you'll be disappointed. However, if what you want is a book that provides insight into how fashion is a business, and the factors that influence the success of that business, then this may be the book for you. Another caution: although the print date is listed as 1999, the articles and examples were written much earlier.

A Dedicated Follower of Brubach.......1999-11-28

Holly Brubach writes with intelligence and wit about a subject that most people dismiss. She understands the thoughtful, artistic aspect of fashion design as well as its more ludicrous side. Designers themselves should be happy with her writing because she takes them seriously, distinguishing art from hype. But it seems that some of them have banned her from their shows for not regurgitating their self-valuations. Brubach's writing compares very favorably to current art criticism and social commentary. But the best thing of all is that she is funny and entertaining, and you don't need to be a fashion insider to enjoy this book.

Customer Reviews:

Laughable, but not in a good way. .......2006-03-24

WOW. This guy should be ashamed to present this as even being remotely journalistic. No sources, no tapes and such outlandish, unbelievable dialogue that you are embarrassed for the writer. Cary Grant at 80 came on to this guy? Its so ridiculous its funny. Just one of the many obvious personal sexual fantasies the author shares with the reader. I'm sure many of these people he supposedly interviewed were gay or bi-sexual, but it's not proven in this book. If anything it's disproven by the mere fact that the author has such little to back him up that he has to resort to faking interviews and offering anonymous sources.

The most obvious example is the Cary Grant interview, but the rest are just as blatant. There is no way a private person like Grant would speak to a known liar like Boze, let alone discuss his homoosexuality with him, when he had sued Chevy Chase around the time of the interview for calling him a fag.

The book is a waste of money and time. There are great biographies out there that contain substantiated facts rather than gossip and lies.

More garbage from Boze.......2005-12-02

As a journalist myself, I can testify that Cary Grant never gave interviews, even for articles about him. When he HAD to give an interview, he managed never to say anything. So you can write off the Grant interview right away. No conceivable way would he EVER EVER have spoken to Boze Hadleigh. In fact, I can't see how anyone would.

Someone mentioned their curiosity as to why Hadleigh's interview subjects are always dead. Uh, libel laws. He doesn't want to be sued. As he surely would have been - just look at what Cary Grant did when Chevy Chase called him "queer." And here's Cary, talking to good old Boze and coming onto him. Right.

Boze joins Hector Arce and Charles Higham in that wonderful world of - hey, they're dead, let's say anything we want - even fake an interview. And don't ever forget their liberal use of anonymous sources.

We know in many cases that the men allegedly spoken to by Hadleigh were indeed gay. Some we suspected. Now, did these people speak to Hadleigh - knowing full well what he's about? Perhaps some did and just as perhaps, some didn't.

Why we can't love and admire these people for what they brought to us with their work, I don't know. Instead, people like Boze try desperately to out actors like Tyrone Power (I bring this up because Hadleigh works Romero mercilessly on the subject) and manage to overlook first person accounts of affairs with him, such as Mai Zetterling's "All Those Tomorrows," Lana Turner's "The Lady, The Legend, the Truth," Linda Christian's "Linda: My Own Story," and Gene Tierney's autobiography. But why listen to those liars when we have BOZE??? Before Boze, there was Whisper magazine, a Confidential ripoff, and they outed Ty -as fooling around with Anita Ekberg while he was married to Linda Christian. Strange, isn't it - Confidential would have outed Rock Hudson if his studio hadn't traded another story. Odd they never felt compelled to do that to Ty...hmm...Again, Power may have been bisexual, and I do think in Hollywood, there was a lot of that going around. But why tell Boze about it.

Consistently entertaining and revealing.......2005-09-26

The lengths people will go to to "defend" their favorite deceased stars from accusations about their private lives is laughable. All of the men profiled and interviewed in this book were long rumored or known to be gay -- it was the Hollywood studios, with their desire to keep their stars bankable, that cringed and worried the most about the truth getting out...along with the actors themselves wanting to maintain their livelihoods, of course.

How accurately Mr. Hadleigh was able to recreate/reconstruct the actual interviews (especially since notes and recordings were not always permitted, understandably) is open to debate.... but one CAN "hear" the subjects' voices speaking. They do NOT all sound the same, as one previous overheated reviewer stated. As for whether or not Cary Grant hit on the author, who's to say what type of man Mr. Grant was attracted to, especially at the age of 80? Anything is possible in this world!

I recommend this book as a great piece of entertainment, and a glimpse into the private thoughts of some openly gay and closeted icons.

Who knows?.......2005-02-09

I agree that it is hard to know whether to trust this book's veracity (I found the moment when Cary Grant hits on the author particularly hard to take).

But I'm more bothered by all the vitriol in these reviews, as though saying someone is gay is the worst thing in the world! There is a lot of evidence outside of this book that these actors were gay or bisexual, so it's not absurd to think they were. And certainly not an insult.

The book is a fun read, whether it's based on actual interviews or not. "Hollywood Lesbians" seemed somewhat more believable.

Hollywood Hogwash.......2003-10-01

Boze Hadleigh strikes again with another slew of over-heated tete-a-tetes that tax credulity. Where is there ANY corroborating evidence--a snippet of a tape recording, a photo, a breathing body who was on the scene--that these cozy confessionals actually took place? Not in this book, which would have you believe that every closeted superstar over the past thirty years couldn't wait to babble into Hadleigh's ever-present microphone. Only in your dreams, Boze.

Book Description

"An excellent read."
—Ace Greenberg, Chairman, Bear Stearns

Richard Smitten's Jesse Livermore is the first full biography of the legendary trader profiled in the bestselling Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (Wiley: 0-471-05970-6). Although he died more than half a century ago, Livermore is considered by today's top traders as the greatest trader who ever lived. An enigmatic loner, misanthrope, and notorious miser, Livermore revolutionized the profession with his innovative timing techniques, money management strategies, and high-momentum approach to trading stocks. Smitten provides a vivid portrait of Livermore and the times in which he lived and operated. He deftly combines eyewitness accounts of those who knew Livermore with fascinating stories of sensational love affairs, shootings, and suicides, and a detailed exploration of the trading strategies that made Livermore several fortunes in his lifetime.

Richard Smitten (Key West, FL) is the author of several books, including The Godmother, the critically acclaimed story of a famous woman criminal.

Customer Reviews:

fantastic!.......2007-06-10

I read this book over a weekend and found it hard to put down and when I did I was excited to pick it back up. The author weaves a tragic story with lessons from the greatest stock trader. I would not have thought the lessons (stated in other people's reviews) would be true today, but in my experience as a trader today they very much are still. Granted some of the things he did and the way the market operated were different and not possible today, but it is still amazing and valuable knowledge of what to do and NOT to do.

Make this a core purchase and buy this book. Just get it. It's worth it.

The Real reminiscences of a stock operator.......2007-03-26

If you have ever read the Reminiscences of a stock operator by Edwin Lefevre and liked it then this book is a must read. It is very hard to put down, it reads like a novel, stock trading manual, Greek tragedy, and wisdom teachings all in one.
I had my doubts, but after reading this book I believe that Jesse Livermore was the greatest stock trader the world has ever seen. At the age of fourteen he walked into a "bucket shop" and got a job posting stock prices. The next year in 1892 at fifteen he makes his first successful stock trade. He was a millionaire in his early 20's and by 1907, J.P. Morgan had to personally ask him to stop selling stocks short before he did serious damage to the stock market during a crash. His greatest achievement of all was walking away from the great crash of '29 with $100 million in profit from selling stocks short when everyone else was going long.
The sad part of this book was how he lost everything several times and was bankrupt, the final one happening late in his life. He had a problem with beautiful women which lead to several divorces and ruin. He committed suicide in 1940 and his son Jesse Jr. also committed suicide 35 years later.His story was really an eye opener to the pitfalls of being wealthy and lacking self control in your personal life and child rearing.
This book is packed with wisdom and stock trading tactics of the master himself. Get out a highlighter and prepare to mark key learning's as you go because there are many. Here are some:

Cut your losses quickly.
Be sure to confirm your judgement before you take your full position.
Let your profits ride if there is no good reason to close the position.
The action is with the leading stocks, which change with every new market.
Keep the number of stocks you follow limited in order to focus.
New all time highs are to be bought on breakouts.
Cheap stocks often appear to be bargains after a large drop.They often continue to fall, most have little potential to rise in price. Leave them alone.
Use pivotal points to identify changes in trend and confirmations in trends.
DON'T FIGHT THE TAPE!

This is my #1 recommendations for stock trading books.
Also read all of Dr. Alexander Elder's books for basics in money management and technical analysis.

Not Much more than the Reminiscences.......2007-01-18

The 'Reminiscensces' has more details about JL's tradings, this one has more about his personal life. Information seems mostly from newspapers, friends and his son, very second hand, and I can see none of them seem to know enough about JL.

Anyhow, it is good to read through his story (just partially, I guess), learning how tragic it can be if you cannot manage your personal and family life properly. The best skills in trading couldn't help.

the basis of many technical approaches today.......2006-12-13

This book has more info than "How to trade in stocks" and "remininces of a stock market operator". Both of those were good and you can learn a lot from them. However the Smitten book takes the info from the other two and makes it easier to understand and to apply. By all means get the other two as well but if you want just one book then get the smitten book. The other two are entertaining and if you are a history buff then you might enjoy them.

My trading hero.......2006-08-19

Pure trading wisdom. Jesse Livermore is a true legend in the trading business. This book was recommended by my trading buddy several years ago and I am very fortunate to have read this. Very rich in trading philosophy and good old wall street wisdom. Jesse Livermore's life is a wild roller coaster; losing and making fortunes. Core concepts discussed in this book are money management, crowd psychology, and market timing. It's a wonderful page turner especially for those who loved Reminiscence of a Stock Operator. Jesse Livermore till this day remains by number one trading hero. His market philosophy and trading strategies have had tremendous impact on my development as a trader. Jesse Livermore's strenght lies in his ability to read the tape. In my opinion mastering tape reading skills can give you a tremendous edge in trading. Tape reading is pure information. This book is highly recommended for those who have a true passion in trading.

Book Description

The Amazing Life of Jesse Livermore

Subtitle: World's Greatest Stock Trader

Jesse Livermore is considered by many of today's top Wall Street traders as the greatest trader who ever lived. For the first time, in one book: his trading secrets, techniques and stock market methods are revealed. Livermore broke new ground in trading the market. His timing techniques, money management systems, and high-momentum approach to trading in stocks and commodities were revolutionary, and remains valid today.

Livermore ran away from home in 1891 at 14 years of age, with five dollars in his pocket, and immediately started as a board boy in the offices of Paine Weber. He made so much money he was banned from the "Bucket Shops" of Boston and New York. He made a fortune in the crash of 1907, and later lost it, only to make it and lose it several more times.

In the panic of 1907, J. P. Morgan personally implored Livermore to stop selling-short, stop pounding the market into oblivion. He made 3 million dollars in one day during the panic.

He married a beautiful Ziegfield Follies showgirl. They lived in a magnificent mansion on Long Island with 14 servants and a three hundred foot yacht, anchored off the back yard, that ferried him to Wall Street every morning.

He sold the market short before the crash of 1929, and entered the depression with 100 million in cash.

A mysterious and secret trader, he worked out of a palatial penthouse, a highly secure office-fortress on Fifth Avenue where he traded in absolute secrecy. Once the market was open, no one in the office was allowed to speak until the market closed.

In 1935, Dorothy, his beautiful wife, shot their son, Jesse Livermore, Jr., in a heated, drunken argument in Santa Barbara. It was one of the great scandals of the era.

Jesse Livermore ended his own life with a self-inflected bullet to the brain, ending one of the most dynamic careers in Wall Street history. A complex genius whose life ambition was to win on Wall Street and he did.

Customer Reviews:

Poorly written and weakly researched.......2004-03-30

One of the poignant aspects of Livermore's life was that he was a loner who rose to great heights in business, friend to many of the industrial barons of an earlier era, but he left a sad, diminished legacy.

Smitten's book doesn't cover the tragic biography very well. He deserves some credit for teasing out secret details, but his writing is poor, repetitive and full of conjecture. He admits to inventing conversations to ease the telling of the story, which is not all bad, but he exhibits little skill. He does manage to convey a heavy down-draft of tragedy, with fortunes, marriages and kids' lives imploding, but Smitten had spent little ink discussing Livermore's contribution to all this, so that this seems to come out of the blue. "Seabiscuit" captured its characters and the wheeling and dealing of its time, but this book never rises to that level. Only someone interested in trading would slog through this muck.

So Smitten is not a natural storyteller, nor does he cover Livermore's trading particularly well. Smitten reveals the true identities of some characters from "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator," but never lets the reader know why, for instance, Ed Hutton should be interesting to us. Of course a trader over 30 would know, but there is more of a story here that needs a more competent researcher and writer.

If you are interested in a tragic tale, this book remains unsatisfying. If you are interested in learning something of trading, skip this book altogether and go to LeFevre's "Reminiscences," one of the most revered books on trading ever written.

Mr. Smitten the line of least resistance in on the Pivot.......2003-01-26

NOT ON THE TREND LINE. I DID learn something of value to me in one chapter in your own words. Because of this I am very grad I bought your book.

Not worth the paper it's written on........2001-12-02

This book goes beyond fiction, it's pure fantasy. If you like fiction, there are many other authors who do a much better job. Just make up your own fantasy about Livermore and save yourself the cost of the book. I hope to find a good use for it before I die, but I'm not optimistic. This book will in no way help you in your trading endeavors. Honestly, look someplace else...or donate the money you would spend on this book to charity.

Love Jesse Words-Don't like the Author's Words.......2001-10-26

This book is perfect except I feel that the author is using Jesse Livermores original book to make money. How can you use someone like that. Stupid to me. Though it is informative and the first 7 chapters are of Jesse Livermores words, I can not feel proper hearing someone else who is not even part of being a financial wizard try to interpret a famouse traders technique. You can read the inexperience words from Smitten when re iterating Jesse's teachings. Even the charts are not explained properly unless you know what your looking for. Jesse never needed charts. I just feel like Smitten offers his side of what he feels Jesse is teaching and it sounds redundant and useless. It sounds like Smitten trys to offer some of his ideas as well and I feel it is a stumbling block of knowledge. It would of been great if Smitten just wrote an introduction, maybe a forward or some personal words and leave the book untouched with Jesse's own words. But he sounds like he wanted ride on Jesse's success and sound like a perfessional himself. I didn't buy it.

In the last chapters of the book Smitten just re-writes the book and trys to explain in "now a-day" terms what Jesse use to do years ago. And I would of preferred to just hear Jesse's own words of then, because everything he has done applies now.

Get the book because the original is no where to be found any more, but be very deserning of what you read after the 7th Chapter.

Don't Trade Without it.......2001-01-21

I can't think of a more important subject to learn then the emotional side of the individual trader if ever I want to become a successful trader myself. Emotions are what makes or breaks a short-term speculator every time. You can have all the technical abilities in the world, but add some cash to the equation and trade it in the market, and the emotions will throw everything you know out of whack... Jesse Livermore is considered one of the best if not "The Best" trader that has ever lived. Dollar for dollar out pacing Mr. Buffet by a long shot... calling the market first, scaling in his trades, trading his plan... and walking away from 2 of the biggest market crashes in history a winner, and the last one in 1929 a $100,000,000 richer. And remember, thats back when Beverly Hills estates were pricey at $25,000. Have a Plan... Trade a Plan! He had some major emotional issues to deal with... and the time he lost it, he was trading in a BAD emotional state... (A good time for a trading break in my opinion). So there is much to learn here... a fantastically written book and fun to read... A MUST READ along with the "REMINISCES OF A STOCK OPERATOR". I would suggest reading this book first to get a background and "Reminisces" next. Happy Trading!
