Pictures of People: Alice Neel's American Portrait Gallery
Pamela Allara Manufacturer: Brandeis University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1584650362 |
Book Description
In this generously illustrated and vibrant chronicle of the life and work of prolific painter and bohemian eccentric Alice Neel, Pamela Allara shows how portraits from a career spanning the 1920s to the 1970s constitute a virtual gallery of American cultural history. While some of Neel's portraits graced the covers of publications like Ms. and Time, most of her subjects were unknowns -- the marginalized, the disenfranchised, the oppressed.Customer Reviews:

It was the United States Department of Interior that commissioned Ansel Adams to document the country's national parks. Though the project was suspended after just one year because of World War II, Adams was still able to create quite a few astonishingly beautiful photographs of the American landscape. Arresting images of Yellowstone's geysers, the Grand Canyon's ravines, Glacier and Grand Teton national parks' mountains and the southwest's ancient adobes fill the book's pages. Perusing this palm-sized volume is akin to touring the country's natural monuments with this most gifted nature photographer along as a companion.Book Description

Men are Dogs: In the Best Possible Sense!
Molly Hewitt Manufacturer: Sourcebooks Hysteria ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1402202776 |
Book Description
Men come in just as many breeds as dogsGirls, are you tired of always ending up with the wrong man? Maybe it's because women take more time picking out a dog than they do a boyfriend.
Men Are Dogs gives you everything you need to know about owning and keeping a man, including:
Why to get a man at all
Where to find one
Training a man
Maintenance, such as diet and exercise
Plus, you'll find out all about the 40+ different breeds you can get and how to identify the breed of your man.
For example, mongrels often make the most delightful companions, but they're not as predictable as some of the purebreds. Working men are among the most cuddly, but watch out you don't get a bully, or worse, a spineless yes-man. Meanwhile, hounds and sporting men are among the most fun-loving and playful, but can lack responsibility. (And some special breeds, like male models, are actually cats).

The Ultimate Beatles Quiz Book II
Michael J. Hockinson Manufacturer: St. Martin's Griffin ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0312264062 |
Book Description
When Beatles fans get together, these are kind of questions they hurl at each other: crazy, clever, and arcane; gleaned from decades' worth of listening and reading between the lines. The Ultimate Beatles Quiz Book is the most elaborate and entertaining collection of these questions, trivial and otherwise, that has ever been compiled by a rabid Beatlemaniac. Carefully selected and arranged to appeal to eager beginners, car-radio-sing-alongers, and even the most jaded diehards (and we mean it!), it's also an unstoppably readable, one-of-a-kind mine of facts, photos, and Fab Four lore.Born in Vancouver, Washington, in 1960, Michael J. Hockinson has been afflicted with second-generation Beatlemania since October 1972, when "Yellow Submarine" had its network TV premiere (on CBS, for all you trivia buffs who read author bios for priceless tidbits). A free-lance writer and correspondent for Beatlefan magazine, he still lives in Vancouver with his wife.Download Description

In a global economy, it is crucial for business people to be sensitive to cultural differences. And although the best reason for doing so may be ethical, it's great for business as well! This is an invaluable book for "doing well while doing good" in your intercultural relations, covering the protocols of appointments, business entertaining, greetings, forms of address, gestures, dress, and gifts in 60 of the nations you're most likely to be doing business. Some interesting excerpts:The authors are very aware that no generalizations apply to all residents of a nation, and are careful not to stereotype or judge. Highly recommended to any business traveler--or any student of the diversity of human cultures.
(Note: a great companion volume for this book is Gestures, which is devoted entirely to explaining the varieties of hand gestures in 82 countries!)
