It doesn't get any better than this........2005-09-08

This is simply the best book about art I have ever read. Like other reviewers, I can say that this book permanently altered the way I see the world (and art). Irwin did it and he still does it.

still forgetting.......2005-08-22

I picked up this book in 1984 because it was on a reading list for an Art History class I was taking at Oberlin College. I stayed up all night in the library that night. I couldn't put it down. My mind has never been the same.

I still often think of it,tell stories from it and give it as a gift. I always say "skip the first chapter-it gets much better." If I remember right, the book begins with a description of Irwin's perfectionism when cleaning the engine of his car. I figure that will bore my friends.

I tell my students about Irwin's many years attempt to make the perfect line, to his wife's chagrin and his painting the back side of his paintings because it matters to him. They like the story of the riots that occured in South America due to the disorientation of his discs-concave and convex-the viewers couldn't tell where the wall started and the disc stopped. I have given the book as a graduation present.

I thought about this book at the mechanic the other day. My engine is very, very dirty.

I will never forget,forgetting. Great book.

more than exceptional.......2003-11-04

if you want to understand the mind of a modern conceptual artist and his life...read this....profound,interesting,illuminating,inspiring...read this

One of the best biographies ever.......2002-12-14

Robert Irwin is a wonderful artist, and this is a must-read for anybody interested in his work, or in his West Coast brand of conceptualism. But this book is also a fantastic biography in its own right - Weschler, who now works for the New Yorker, writes like an angel, and reading this book is a pleasure indeed. To say that this is one of the best biographies of an artist ever would be far too faint praise: this is one of the best biographies ever, period.

amazing.......2002-02-21

This was an amazing read. Not only did it open my eyes to the concept of abstract art, but it opened my eyes to a different way of thinking. I highly recommend this book.

Book Description

Customer Reviews:

I think we can assume..........2006-06-25

that if you are reading this you've read at least some of Hana Yori Dango or seen the anime or watched one of the two live action shows...if so I don't need to tell you that it is one of the funniest Shojo manga out there... and if not what have you been doing living under a rock? Just kidding but seriously you should read this series but don't you dare start with this book! Go get the first one, get it now! For those who've been reading up to this point this book is awesome in this volume Tsukushi becomes homeless(will she ever get a break?) so of course Tsukasa's older sister tries to take her into their home, but we all know how resistant our heroine can be to charity and the solution she comes up with is hilarious...I can't write anymore because the desire to spoil is getting overwhelming.

Professional psychic Sophia counsels modern women to let loose a flock of spells in order to either bring the man of their dreams to heel or push him away for a little breathing room. Lest you think these have been passed down through the centuries, we're talking about the "Kiss Me You Fool Spell," the "Bad Date Cleansing Spell," the "Spell to End an Office Romance," and even the "Spell to Unite E-mail Lovers." Well, why not? The New Age and the Electronic Age may usher in an Age of Everlasting Love. Try a spell or two and see.

Customer Reviews:

only if you are under 13.......2003-02-25

yes, the cover is very pretty, the lettering looks "antique" and it will look cute on your altar in case you invite someone over but this has to be the most stupid collection of spells ever printed. even the "author" (if the little girl who came up with these can be call an "author") admits in the introduction that these spells are just for fun. buy it only if you have some money to waste. if you're serious about the craft look somewhere else.

THE BEST BOOK ON LOVE SPELLS EVER!!!.......2001-04-24

Clearly the other people reviewing the book have not read it or don't know what they are doing- this is the BEST EVER book on love spells and blows other... spell writers (who ripped off Sophia's 'little spell book idea') out off the water. They are funny, well-crafted and work. The problem may be that some people don't know what they are doing or would rather preach to others then do their own will- whatever. If you want LOVE and are not afraid of magic or of your own... (like many of these reviewers are, I guess) this is the real deal folks! Yes- they do work- and if you check out Sophia's website... you'll see that editors at COSMO (!!) think they work too- that is how I first heard of this book. And if COSMO doesnt know Love Spells, we are all in trouble!

I'm a little confused.......2000-08-25

Ok first of all no matter what magick you practice you sure ... should know that do unto others as you would have them do unto you goes for everything. I really think this book was cute but very brainless.This was a gift that they requested thats the only reason I would consider getting this.the spells probably work,if you put enough time and effort into anything you can make any spell be effective,I've been a magus and practicing magick for many years now and feel that this book should be a silly read through book and definately not taken seriously. Remember when you do spells like this your going against someones will to gain what you want,thats very wrong.if you don't think so thats great but you'll find out the hard way:) And it harm none!do not upset the balance of nature.

The Little Book Of Love Spells.......2000-03-11

I really do not recomend this book. I just started practicing magic and this book dose not help at all. The spells don't work so don't waste your money on this book..

Cute yet not for the serious.......2000-01-22

I bought this booking thinking it would be something that it was not. I read it and got a laugh out of it but that was merely it. One of the spells is unite email lovers, uh right. I do not recommend it for those in search of something other than entertainment.

The Little Book of Hot Love Spells by Sophia.......2002-11-21

"Sophia's The Little Book of Hot Love Spells contains a plethora of unique and "do-able" spells each of which are crafted with a specific purpose in mind (there's even one for each of the zodiac signs!) This is magic perfectly suited for our post-modern times: Sophia draws from her own intensive/extensive wisdom and experience and from various esoteric traditions as well to weave these decidedly contemporary spells. Hard to say which spell I'll try first but it's bound to be fun. Cheers for this up-beat, witty, wise, and HOT spell book."

Book Description

Among Hollywood's child stars are some talented children, normal and pleasant who find fame in film. Margaret O'Brien is one; her career began in 1941. The fresh-faced moppet quickly became a sensation and won the 1944 Academy Award for Outstanding Child Actress. As Adele in Jane Eyre (1944) and Beth in Little Women (1949), Margaret endeared herself to millions. Despite the strain of growing up on screen, O'Brien continues to perform today.

This reference work details O'Brien's remarkable and varied career on stage, screen, and television: it includes a biography and a complete listing of all her film, radio, stage, and television appearances, as well as references to her in magazines and newspapers. Each entry includes complete production information, as well as reviews and behind-the-scenes commentary. Included are forewords by Robert Young and O'Brien herself, who provided much of the information in this book. Dozens of photos, including many from O'Brien's personal collection, illustrate the text and show the varied stages of a career that includes both famous roles and famous friendships.

A companion for Garbo.......2007-08-14

Remember "the films of" series of books on famous actors? Lotsa pictures? Every film listed in chronological order? That's the design of this much belated book (copyright 2000). And it comes with the direct assistance of Margaret O'Brien herself as she herself explains in the Forward.

After a brief biography, each of her films is presented, the cast and crew listed, the plot summarized with lots of behind-the-scenes revelations included. And talk about comprehensive! I was unaware (tho, hardly surprised) of the two or three movie shorts done during the war. But did you know she did a Japanese film when she was about 15 or 16? Much later, a couple films in Peru? A little-known Disney film (with Jenny Agutter)? And, fairly recently, a couple indie films (ones which I plan to avoid).

This book also includes abbreviated listings of her stage work and radio performances, and a pretty comprehensive listing of her television appearances.

Maybe because of Margaret's involvement, I felt the information was carefully sifted to avoid offending her. As an admirer, I didn't mind that. It's much more important that this compilation and updated biography become available.

Look at that face! How could you resist this book? I bet the movie critic of the 1940s James Agee couldn't have if he were alive today. And based on his reviews of Margaret's movies, he would have rested his copy of it against his copy of "The Films of Greta Garbo".

Wonderful book for a wonderful child star.......2001-08-19

This book has everything about the wonderful little actress, Margaret O'Brien. Not only does it have a biographical section, but details every film she every made with a complete listing of cast, crew, synopis, a behind the scenes look at the making of the film and comments from costars and O'Brien herself. The author has put a lot of research into this book and it deserves to be read.

Margaret Found!.......2001-07-10

This book does exactly what it promises by providing a biography of O'Brien's life and a review of her career to date. For any fan of M.B., this is an enjoyable read. What is especially interesting is that this is not a lurid tale of a former child star descending into an ever darkening pit of pain and confusion. It is the story of a survivor who might have transitioned into adult superstardom had it not been for the ever changing tastes of the viewing public and the disintegration of the studio system. I was glad to see that someone cared enough to present an honest and fair picture of Margaret's career and life while a good number of her co-stars were alive and able to be interviewed.

Informative Book ON Great Star.......2000-10-15

Neatly organized book on the greatest of all child stars. Includes complete listing of all television appearances - she did a ton of them!! MOB comments on all her film rolls which is fasinating. Also some very rare photos from MOB'S private collection. Author is close friend of MOB which adds authenticity to this book

Book Description

Great sourcebook! Tremendously useful........2000-02-05

This book is well-written and covers a vast scope. Contrary to what the title might lead you to believe, this book covers a lot more than just plain mediums. In fact, it offeres detailed information on just about any faction in the Skinlands that might interact with the Restless Dead: "Boardwalk mediums" found at carnivals and circuses the ruthless Giovanni vampires, even charlatans and frauds who possess no real talent, but manage to offend wraiths with their very presumption and chicanery.

This book is definitely worth the purchase price- it will enrich virtually any Wraith chronicle.

Mediums done right.......1999-11-12

This is a fine resource for mediums, much better than the Quick and the Dead. The systems stuff is vastly improved, with a battery of new merits and flaws for mediums that I actually found useful (and can be used to supplement or replace the hedge magic paths for interacting with wraiths). There is some good stuff on summoning, a large section on Native American medicine men and shamanic dealings with the dead, a fresh look at many of the old ghost-dealing groups, and a new ability for those people who have had enough with wraiths shouting in their ears.

Book Description

This supplement outlines the key sections of each chapter, and it provides students with a set of questions and problems similar to those in the text and in the Test Bank, along with worked-out solutions.

The difference between an A and a B.......2007-01-29

Halfway through my first semester of finance I was trying to understand why so many of my classmates were no longer struggling - turns out they had ordered this study guide. Generally I am not a fan of study guides, but this one is very comprehensive and gives wonderfully detailed explanations to all of its self-test problems - not just the answers. I ended up using this more than my actual text book and I highly recommend it to every student taking Finance.

Book is Okay.......2006-03-03

I thought that this study guide would follow the actual text book to the tee, but it does not. I was hoping it would follow the problems at the end of the chapters and explain in detail the problems.

Best Study Guide.......2004-10-09

This study guide was extremely helpful to me. It gives you all the main points and helps you understand the text better. I wish all study guides were this good!
