      Product Description

      For many women of Egypt, their jewelry is their bank - they wear their wealth in their gold. But jewelry in Egypt is also more than mere assets, and its design and manufacture reveal a great array of styles and a high degree of skill and artistry. In this lavishly illustrated book, Azza Fahmy, herself a world-renowned designer of jewelry based on traditional motifs, lays before us an Aladdin's cave of jewelry made in all corners of Egypt over the last one hundred years, collected through her extensive travels throughout the country. From the farms and villages of the Nile Valley and Delta, from the oases of the Western Desert and the mountains and wadis of Sinai and the Eastern Desert, from Nubia in the south, and from the crowded traditional neighborhoods of Cairo, a cornucopia of gold and silver adornment is displayed each area with its own distinctive favored style. Personal seals have been widely employed, and there is even jewelry for special occasions, such as the exorcism of malignant spirits, and for animals. The author not only documents all these varieties and illustrates them with the finest examples, she also describes the techniques and skills involved in their production and the materials used, and recounts her own journey of learning as she apprenticed with the leading master jewelers to become the best known jeweler in Egypt. The author's work is worn by world leaders, royalty, and connoisseurs of jewelry around the globe.

      HUNGRY FOR LAUGHS?

      Garfield, the fat cat with the bottomless stomach, dishes up another tasty serving of cartoon comedy. So whether he's celebrating the official "Kick-Odie-Across-the-Room Day," playing connect-the-freckles on Jon's chest, or perfecting his insincere smile, Garfield's always on the prowl for food--and fun!

      I got this book in a 3-pack and could hardly stop laughing. Jim Davis has really reached his pinnacle of humor! Buy the book!

      5 out of 5 stars "I'm sending nature a postcard.".......2003-07-28

      No matter what kind of a mood I'm in, I'm always entertained by reading Garfield comic strips. I have no problem admitting that, even though I'm in my early twenties. I think it's a very hilarious strip and it gets better with every year. "Garfield: Feeds the Kitty" is yet another very amusing collection of funny Garfield strips.

      Laugh along as Garfield takes on dieting, Mondays, his owner Jon, the very not-so-bright Odie, smart-aleck mice who always get the last laugh, and much more. With Garfield, you know it's never a dull day (even if HE finds it dull).

      Again, Jim Davis never misses a beat with making Garfield funny and entertaining. While some strips are funnier than others, the overall product is very satisfying. You'll want to re-read the book over and over again. It's a great read, especially when you need some cheering up.

      The 35th book in the Garfield series, "Garfield: Feeds the Kitty" is a very hilarious collection of Garfield hijinx that you won't want to miss out on. If you're a Garfield fan, I highly recommend you checking it out. Always nice to have something that is bound to get a laugh or two from you.

      5 out of 5 stars A fun and informative book.......2004-08-14

      After the Funeral is an amusing if somewhat macabre narrative of the fate of some of the mortal remains of famous people. As the author puts it himself, the funeral is not necessarily the end of the story for many historic individuals.

      To some extent the book simply makes a play to natural morbid curiosity about death and the dead. After all who doesn't enjoy a good old fashioned ghost story now and again? But it also showcases the amazing hold that the people who make history have over the average person, even after the former have gone the way of all flesh. The anger that they elicited from foiled rivals continues, as in the case of Cromwell, whose body was subjected to a belated public "execution" and whose head was kept as a souvenir for generations. The love that they engendered continues beyond the grave, as in the case of Shelley and his wife Mary (and perhaps his friend Trewlany). Who is not still amazed by the brilliant mind of Einstein, though he has been gone since 1955, and would not perhaps enjoy stealing a glance at the brain that once produced those amazing thoughts?

      Probably the most scandalous issue taken up by the book is the commercial value that famous dead people have. The resting places of the likes of Daniel Boone, Buffalo Bill, Sitting Bull, Moliere and Marx have all been turned into tourist attractions and, believe it or not, some have given posthumous endorsement of eternal real estate (plots in private cemetaries)! The fight over the remains of some of them by those who would make a profit makes for amusing reading. The quarrels among the citizens of North Platte, Nebraska, Cody, Wyoming, and Denver, Colorado over the body of Buffalo Bill are particuly funny. I understand that the fight between Cody and Denver has only recently been resolved.

      While the fate of the bodies and body parts of history's famous are often up for grabs, according to the author, not even cremation seems to be a safe way of avoiding the vagaries of eternity. The misadventures of the ashes of the writers D. H. Lawarence and Dorothy Parker attest that point.

      All in all a fun and informative book.



      4 out of 5 stars Rest in peace, if you can........2003-07-29

      Just exactly what does happen to a corpse after the funeral? Well, for the most part the remains are allowed to rest in peace, but not always. Exhumations are not all that uncommon. Whether it be for law enforcement purposes, DNA testing, or just simply because the next of kin have decided to move the body to another cemetery. Generally it is pretty mundane stuff. However, if the corpse just happens to be the remains of a famous person, then things can sometimes get interesting.

      The next question that would occur to most people is; why would anyone want to move around a dead body or any part thereof? That is what this book is all about. Each of the corpses covered in this book has a completely separate entry to avoid confusion. Each of those entries starts with a brief history of the deceased's life so that if the reader is not familiar with Lord Byron for example they are given a little information to start off with. Usually within this short biography one finds the reason for the posthumous travels of their body, or the above mentioned parts thereof. The reasons range from a somewhat warped but deep love or admiration, to politics, to obsessive hate, to tourism and even practical jokes. The adventurous bodies in this book run the gambit from Oliver Cromwell to Thomas Paine and from Voltaire to Sitting Bull. In short, the subject is fascinating.

      Edwin Murphy writes in a clear manner and with a witty style. I found a few historical errors but all in all, this book seems to be very well researched. Also, when there are conflicting stories he presents both tales. For example, was it director Raoul Walsh or Peter Lorre who put the corpse of John Barrymore in Errol Flynn's living room? Just that question alone should make most people want to read this book. I thoroughly enjoyed my evenings with this book and I think you will too.

      5 out of 5 stars Unique Book.......2001-09-21

      This is one of the most unique books I have ever read. It is informative, interesting, amusing, and well written. You would have trouble beliving some of the fantastic "posthomous adventures famous corpses" that the author meticulously recounts, except that he provides a full bibliography so you can check the facts yourself. How about the Portugese lady who was exhumed five years after death to be crowned queen. Or Oliver Cromwell, who was exhumed from Westminister Abbey to be executed for treason (hung, then decapitated) and whose severed head became a museum exhibit and prop for lectures on phrenology. Or Daniel Boone, whose neglected body was hijacked from Missouri as part of a plan to promote a new cemetery in Kentucky? Mr. Murphy has apparently invented a new literary category that he calls "Necrobiography," of which his book is the only example so far. I can't wait for the sequel which he promises, especially if it is as enjoyable as the original. I heartily recommend this book. It is not morbid or sensational in the least, but holds your interest(tastefully illustrated too).

      4 out of 5 stars Interesting and funny!.......2001-06-29

      I really enjoyed this book--it was entertaining, VERY interesting and funny without losing tact or being disrespectful of the subjects involved. I agree that the writing style is a little different in some places, but i think different authors have different styles, and to me it doesn't detract from the interesting subject matter--plus to me it seemed easy to read and personable. It's amazing what people will do with the remains of folks they've loved (or hated)! I hope the author goes on to do another volume like he mentioned in the intro.

      3 out of 5 stars Great research, writing only so-so.......2000-03-13

      I picked up this book because of its unusual and intriguing subject matter. I figured it would be a nice diversion to read about some of the crazy adventures and mishaps that befall famous corpses after the funeral (so to speak). In that, I was not disappointed. Murphy obviously did his research, and he was honest enough to list various accounts when the facts were in doubt. He also wrote with a nicely wry sense of humor befitting the subject. However, I found the writing to lack a certain polish, as if I was reading a third draft instead of the finished product. I found enough awkward sentences, paragraphs with more than one subject, and other poorly constructed phrases to dampen my enjoyment of the book somewhat. I suspect this may not be the fault of the author so much as the editors involved in the project, but in any case, the book suffered as a result.

        Book Description

        Providing in-depth accounts and close critical examinations of nine of Wiseman’s films—Titicut Follies, High School, Basic Training, Essene, Juvenile Court, Primate, Welfare, Canal Zone, and The Store—this second edition features a new introduction, a revised and updated filmography, and an updated bibliography.



        No book on documentary film has ever analyzed in such detail the work of a single filmmaker. In impeccable close readings of his films, Tom Benson and Carolyn Anderson explore how Frederick Wiseman has elaborated his widely admired sensibility.



        A special feature is an extended chapter on the legal difficulties encountered by Wiseman’s first documentary, Titicut Follies, an unflinching depiction of conditions in the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Bridgewater. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts took Wiseman to court, seeking to prevent the exhibition of Titicut Follies. In New York State, three judges refused to issue an injunction against the film. In Massachusetts, the film was the subject of a sensational series of legislative hearings and a court trial, in which the principals gave very different stories of the conditions and terms under which the film had been negotiated and produced.



        Wiseman, himself an attorney, exchanged charges and countercharges with Massachusetts Attorney General Elliot Richardson, and the controversy split the civil liberties community. Judge Harry Kalus, calling Titicut Follies "a nightmare of ghoulish obscenities," not only ruled for the Commonwealth but ordered that the film be destroyed. On appeal, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court modified the Kalus ruling, allowing the film to be seen only by professional audiences. Titicut Follies became the only American film whose exhibition is restricted for reasons other than obscenity or national security.



        After Titicut Follies, Wiseman went on to become a major independent documentary producer. Many of his films have been shown on public television in the United States and at film festivals around the world. The films are widely admired and often highly controversial. Wiseman has developed a unique cinematic rhetoric that draws from both the documentary and fiction traditions to describe American institutions: a high school, basic training, a monastery, a juvenile court, a primate research center, a welfare agency, the Panama canal zone, and a department store. Benson and Anderson scrutinize each of these films, record the reactions of some of his subjects and audiences, and present the heretofore neglected contributions of his four cinematographers: John Marshall, Richard Leiterman, William Brayne, and John Davey.

          5 out of 5 stars A TSR attempt at a sci-fi role playing game.......2003-02-01

          TSR was the grand-daddy of Role Playing Game companies. Best known for "Dungeons & Dragons," TSR actually developed many other games (some fine, others less than great), but none ever approached the popularity of D&D. Interestingly, TSR had much trouble coming up with a science fiction RPG, and wanted badly to emulate the success of the "Traveller" RPG at rival company GDW.

          In 1990, they secured the license to the "Buck Rogers" franchise, and developed a game around it. The game never received a huge audience, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. In addition to game supplements, they published Buck Rogers novels, comics, and even a board game. (See my "Amazon List" of products) It's more Science Fantasy (like Star Wars) than Sci-Fi to my taste, but I sure admire the love and effort put into the game system.

          The basic set as listed here should include the following books and accessories: "Characters & Combat," "The World Book," "The Technology Book," 4 maps, measuring device, 24 large cards, die-cut counters, and a ref's screen.

          Book Description

          Ann Marie Sabath, the "Ms. Manners of the Midwest," according to USA Today, offers to-the-point solutions to the most commonly asked business etiquette questions. She helps readers overcome moments of indecision, giving them the ability to function with the confidence that the impression they are making is a positive one. She helps us avoid that oh so embarrassing office faux pas, or unintentional inappropriate behavior, or appearance blunders that could lead to ridicule, social seclusion or even business disaster. This book thoroughly examines: the art of getting people to talk; proper attire; correct correspondence including rules about email; pleasing phone manners with tips about voicemail; dealing with decision-makers; handling social occasions and situations with ease and grace; international courtesy including the dos and taboos; and many business occasions where knowing the correct thing to do will pay off.

          1 out of 5 stars Nothing New.......2000-06-01

          I didn't find this book terribly useful. Most of the concepts presented in the book were common sense and did not specifically apply to business. The book centered around typical social etiquette (which certainly applies in the business world), but did not provide much business-specific guidance. I found that most of the concepts were covered in general etiquette publications. I was also disappointed to find that the book did not provide specific solutions for breaches in business etiquette. I guess I was looking for some nice catch-phrases and replies for the business user. I do think the book was simple to read, and might be a good book for newcomers to American business etiquette.

          3 out of 5 stars The author should stick to 'American' business etiqutte........2000-03-27

          This is an easy to read booklet; I read it while waiting at the airport in Madrid to catch my flight back to the USA.

          Ann Marie Sabath, like many of us Americans, knows what is right and wrong in our country 'etiquettely speaking;' however, she is presumptuous when she gives 'international' business etiquette advice.

          I agree with the reviewer, who was born and raised in Hong Kong, who says that Ms. Sabath is giving etiquette advice about the Chinese without the proper knowledge of the culture. For a person to really know the etiquette of a country, he should have been born in that country and/or have lived in it for a number of years.

          Being born in a country AND living in it, however, is the best way to know 'the customs and etiquette' of a particular country. Ms. Sabath should stick with 'American' business etiquette.

          Ann Marie Sabath has a way of getting directly to the point, making this book an excellent reference for anyone wondering about the rules of etiquette in the workplace. Her book deals with the issues that most executives need to know.

          I found this book very easy to use, and extremely helpful in navigating the always-changing boundaries of what is considered good business etiquette.
