David Byrne

McSweeney's, 2006

David Byrne is a very talented and influential man
I have read both of David Byrne's books, I own all of his musical albums, as well as all of the Talking Heads albums. Byrne has always been my prime influence, I started a band last summer, because I was inspired by his great musical talent. But, when I read his books I saw a whole new level of talent. His books are so well written and very poignant. My dream is to meet the David Byrne, ever ...

end of print
All I can say is that this book is timeless.. I have bought it twice, once, when it first came out and second, when I emigrated to another country as I couldn't find another resource as stimulating....it is still is as 'fres'h as when I first viewed it..'Trek' is another good recommendation...pushing the boundaries but relating them to fundamental basic graphic design principles..the computer is ...

AutoCAD 2008 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers))

David Byrnes

For Dummies, 2007

Highly Recommended
Since deciding to become a CAD goddess, I've found reviews for 2008 CAD books in short supply so here you go ... CAD For Dummies is in all truth a book for beginners, more experienced users may be able to profit by the tidbits that refer to new features in this year's release and tricks but since I'm a beginner and I've found it all easy enough to understand, I don't expect it will be much ...

AutoCAD 2007 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

For Dummies, 2006

A Great Starting Place
If you're just getting started with Autocad this is one of the two books I sincerely recommend. Use this one first. But at the same time get a copy of AutoCAD 2007 Bible, by Ellen Finkelstein. Both books tell you how to get started, but 'For Dummies' gives you a lot more background and a lot more information about what's going on. 'The Bible' then takes over and with three times as many pages ...

Creative starting point....
What a great book for sparking ideas. Byrne Makes connections to intangible thoughts in a visual medium. It is also wonderful to catch a glimpse of the creative process of one of the greatest creative thinkers of our time.

Lost New York
What a great find. I just stumbled across this book a few days ago and it's going right on my shelf next to THE DOWNTOWN BOOK: THE NY ART STORY 1974-1984, and SO80s by Patrick McMullan. These three will give you a great summary of the East Village and SOHO art/music scene in the late 70s and early 80s. This brief period in NY was every bit as fascinating as that of the Abstract Expressionists ...

Social Exclusion (Critical Concepts in Sociology)
David Byrne

Routledge, 2008

Edited by a leading scholar in the field, this new title in the "Routledge Major Works" series, "Critical Concepts in Sociology", is a four-volume collection of canonical and cutting-edge research on the intellectual origins and the development of 'socal exclusion', a critical concept in the social sciences in general and sociology in particular. The pervasiveness of the concept is well illustrated by the fact that it is almost impossible to ...

CBGB and OMFUG: Thirty Years from the Home of Underground Rock

3 reviews

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2005

Visual feast for the eyes
The days of punk are long gone in a haze of AquaNet, black eyeliner and black leather. But thankfully, a handful of artists had the forsight to immoralize the scene in glorious black & white. The photographs are arranged in chronological order and include a who's-who of the punk scene. Some of the in-your-face images bring you to front center stage where you're right there with the usual ...

Autocad 2006 for Dummies Review
Anyone who has attempted to use Autocad in the past knows that it is a very formidable task. At the present time I have only gotten into a few chapters of Autocad for Dummies. What I have read so far is written in plain English and is very easy to understand. I have high hopes for the rest of the book. As with any technical course, the material must be read and reread a number of times to absorb ...

David Byrne: E.E.E.I. (Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information)

Steidl/Pace/MacGill Gallery, 2003

David Byrne loves PowerPoint
....or maybe not... Less than a week before embarking on a coast to coast dozen or so cities PowerPoint lecture tour, Byrne did three nights of his rock n roll show at the Warfield in SF, which in turn was on the heels of two weeks of the same in Australia. This mind bending energy may be final proof of the rumor that David Byrne is, in fact, a nuclear powered android after all. The ...

For Dummies, 2006

A Lot of Material, but Well Presented
When you are first starting to use AutoCAD, you get to the point where you are looking at a basically bare screen with a whole bunch of control icons around the edges. What do you do then? Just simply getting the first line drawn is a confusing task. In this book the authors have applied the full range of the 'For Dummies' books style guidelines to produce a book that gets you working in ...

Your Action World: Winners Are Losers with a New Attitude

David Byrne

Chronicle Books, 1999

Inspirational
Brilliant...like a month's worth of dreams captured in color. It must've been very expensive to print, and it shows. Usually after buying books of this nature, I read through them once and put them down for...well, years, sometimes. But this one has kept my attention for the month since it arrived; I find myself looking to it at least once a day for inspiration. David Byrne's mind is ...

Puffin, 1989

Great book based on a great song by a great band.
It has been many years since I have seen a copy of this book.. but I remember being a child in 1989 and recieving a free copy of it from a librarian for Christmas I think. I wasn't into the Talking Heads like I am now (I had no clue who they were). But I remember the story was crazy and the illustrations were equally as crazy, but still pretty cool. I did my first so-called "book report" in ...
