The Shock of the New11 reviews
Robert Hughes

Knopf, 1991

The rise and fall of modernism
This is based on the script for a BBC program. To be a good TV program, it should have a clear and plain storyline which could fit into limited timetable. You can identify such a feature in the form of book, though substantially enlarged. The author did his best to make a clear impression of what was modernism in the visual art on reader (and audience). The author begin the book with what ... 		  
  







  
  
Japonisme: The Japanese Influence on Western Art Since 18586 reviews
Siegfried Wichmann

Thames & Hudson, 1999

My holy grail
For anyone interested in both Japanese Art and European Art at the turn of the last century, this book will become the most satisfying reference book in your collection. "Japonisme" is the term used to describe the Victorian fascination with all things Japanese. Wichmann's book successfully demonstrates the influence of this fascination on the fine art of the era. Lavishly illustrated with ...

A Century of Acadian Culture: The Development of a Cajun Community : Erath (1899-1999)1 review
Curney J. Dronet

Pelican Publishing Company, 2001

High quality local history
Unlike most Acadians, the small group of exiles who settled in the lower Vermilion River Valley in what is now Vermilion Parish were not part of the 1755 diaspora, but were prisoners of war in Halifax who were allowed to charter their own ship to Saint-Domingue, and from there to Louisiana, under the leadership of Joseph Broussard, known as "Beausoleil." Erath itself is a relatively new ...

Dancing With the Kohzar: Fluffton College and Mennonite Higher Education, 1899-1999 (Studies in Anabuptist ...1 review
Perry Bush

Herald Press, 2000

Bluffton College, not to shabby, eh?
Dancing With the Kobzar is definitely the best book that I have ever read from the "Studies in the Anabaptist and Mennonite History" series. It takes the history of a small Mennonite college in NW Ohio, and actually makes it into interesting read. Not only that, but a clear thesis and structure are presented at the beginning of the work and never once does the author stray away from these. ... 		  
  







  
  
Lagonda, 1899 - 1999 (Images of Transportation Series)1 review
Arnold Davey

Arcadia Publishing (SC), 2001

Thorough history
A great book not only for Lagonda enthusiasts, but also for any one who appreciate pre war cars - especially British cars. While a little dry at points like some of the race descriptions, the company history and the photographs I found fascinating. Probably the most comprehensive work on Lagonda written. 		  
  







  
  
A Hundred Year Journey to the Land of Immigrants: 1899-19991 review
Isela Chavez Swain

iUniverse, Inc., 2007

Dispersal of an Immigrant Family
This is an interesting family story. Alberto N. Swain came to Torren in 1900 to publish an English language newspaper and set up shop as a printer. The author covers the events during the Mexican Revolution described in John Reed's widely known narrative (c.f). She discovered a street named for him in the industrial district. Along the way she discovered that Alberto's first wife and child ... 		  
  







  
  
Modern Art: Painting/Sculpture/Architecture6 reviews
Sam Hunter, John M. Jacobus

Harry N Abrams, 1992

The Best approach
Everybody knows the boring of reading introduction material about art. It's always more of the same. Because of that I suspected very much this book with its "open title"... No reason for that: Modern Art is a careful work about 20th century aesthetics, crossing an open and contextual perspective with closed analysis of key works. And best of all, the synthetic approach of painting, sculpture and ... 		  
  







  
  
The Abbey Theatre, 1899-1999: Form and Pressure
Robert Welch

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

A century ago this year, productions of W.B. Yeats's The Countess Cathleen and Edward Martyn's The Heather Field launched what was to become Ireland's National Theatre, named after its home on Abbey Street, Dublin. This is the first history of the Abbey Theatre to set the plays and the personalities in their historical and political context and to describe the theatre's artistic development. 		  
  







  
  
THOMAS EAKINS1 review
WILMERDING JOHN

Smithsonian, 1993

Somewhat disappointed
I don't care for the selection of works that this book displays, in particular the lack of certain portraits or the fact that quite a number are only shown in small black and white illustrations. I don't have, nor have I viewed, another book on Eakins so my only reference for comparing the works shown and their quality or rating this book is against what I've seen on the Internet. If you're ...

Code of Federal Regulations Title 29 Labor: Revised As of July 1, 1999 (Code of Federal Regulations. 29. ...1 review
Gpo

United States Government Printing, 1999

THERE IS A BETTER WAY
The book is very difficult to find what you are looking for. It is a sea of regulations that is hard to narrow down the answer to your specific question. Labelmaster software puts out a product that has all this information on CD and is easily searchable and updated on a quarterly basis.
