The Journey to Peace: Reflections on Faith, Embracing Suffering, and Finding New Life 1 review
Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, Alphonse P. Cpps Spilly, ...
Image, 2003
Terrific companion to 'The Gift of Peace'
Whatever your exposure to the late Cardinal, you must admire his example of the Christian life. In the Gift of Peace, he invited us to walk beside him during his final months. In this volume, Spilly & Langford have artfully woven together extended excerpts from his homilies while Archbishop of Chicago. The book is divided into chapters identified by the Stations of the Cross -- a device that both ...

Mucha's Figures Decoratives 2 reviews
Alphonse Mucha
Dover Publications, 1981
Figures decoratives - 4.5
This book is a reproduction of Alphonse Mucha's second commissioned portfolio that was published in 1905. It's main use was and continues to be to help artists with composing the body within unusual and interesting shapes. The bulk of the drawings are, as would be expected with Mucha, of women in various dress or in the nude. There are also a few examples of younger children. I found this book to ...

Drawings of Mucha6 reviews
Alphonse Mucha
Dover Publications, 1978
The master at work
The pencil drawings in this book are fascinating. You can really see how he worked on each design, and occasionally the original sketch has some interesting variations from the final product. I particularly enjoyed some of the less popular works that are to be found here.

Can't get better than this.
This book has it all lots of pictures as well as interesting information on Mucha and his work. I feel that it shows how he and his work became an icon of Art Nouveau. It is not just posters and panels that are covered it goes into every aspect of Mucha's work. There is information and pictures on "The Slav Epic", jewellery, lead light pastels, drawings and more. I would recommend this book ...

Art Nouveau Figurative Designs (Colouring Books) 7 reviews
Alphonse Marie Mucha
Dover Publications, 1977
An adult colouring book!reat for tattoosists and kids at heart
Shame on those giving this a poor review because they failed to read the description. A review should be based on what the product is, and not what they thought it might be. Mucha's intricate work is so highly detailed I could never hope to draw anything like it, but it gives me great satisfaction to colour these fine line drawings. For those seeking a Mucha tattoo this is an excellent reference ...

Alphonse Mucha: The Complete Graphic Works1 review
Ann Bridges
Random House Value Publishing, 1987
Alphonse Mucha
Art lovers around the world recall with delight Mucha's wonderful portraits of Sarah Bernhardt. Mucha single-handedly revolutionized French poster art at the turn of the century with art nouveau advertisements for Moet & Chandon, Job, Nestle's, Benedictine brandy and "the flower of the nineties"; Monaco Monte-Carlo.
Mucha's work was an inspiration to architects and designers who adapted his ...

Erotic Bondage: The Art of Rope 6 reviews
Mixofpix, 2004
Soft, pretty damsels all bound and knotted-up!
Edward Lee was a recognized painter and sculptor in the UK before taking up fine art photography thirty years ago. His photos have been shown in numerous galleries and have been widely published and purchased for museum and private collections. This book represents an interest in artistic bondage that was only kindled recently when he met and befriended a model named Chloe, whom Edward attributes ...

The Power of the Name: The History and the Practices of the Jesus Prayer
Alphonse Goettmann, Rachel Goettmann
Orthodox Research Institute, 2008
The Jesus Prayer penetrates everything, freeing us from all the acculturations of the Gospel, re-creating the basis of unity for all Christians and offering them the only possible anchor for a true ecumenism. The Jesus Prayer heals the alienation and distress of humanity, placing its dependence on God alone, substituting the divine life for the little "self" and the interests it must defend. "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives ...

Letters From My Windmill (Penguin Classics)1 review
Alphonse Daudet
Penguin Classics, 1978
A brilliant collection of entertaining stories
In the late 1860s when Alphonse Daudet set out to write stories about his native Provence in serial form for a newspaper, I seriously doubt that he was aware that he was going to leave a masterpiece behind. Luckily for us, he has done just that. The stories are not linked by any particular theme and they all concern the humorous and sometimes tragic goings-on of local characters. Daudet has a ...

The Spiritual Wisdom and Practices of Early Christianity
Alphonse, Goettmann, Rachel, Goettmann
Orthodox Research Institute, 2006
In this book, we will consider the fundamental practices of the Christian experience. They are backed by two thousand years of history and a sea of witnesses who, down through the ages, have journeyed on this path that has led them to the summits of wisdom and holiness. The difficulty in the presentation of these "methods" is their inevitable and artificial juxtaposition when they only find their internal and organic coherence in the living ...

Good Practical Information for the Value Engineering Test
This book is full of practical applications of value engineering, including a number of case studies. I found the book very valuable in preparing me for the Value Methodology Practionier (VMP) test that is a part of becoming certified through S.A.V.E. (Society for the Advancement of Value Engineer). Their are other requirements to becoming certified by S.A.V.E. but this book covered a lot of the ...
