Sculpting in Time: Tarkovsky The Great Russian Filmaker Discusses His Art18 reviews
Andrey Tarkovsky

University of Texas Press, 1989

Cinema as an Art form
"Sculpting in Time" is truly an amazing work of art in its own right. Certainly filmmakers have written books about their artistic styles in the past. Philosophers have written elaborately on the subject of aesthetics as a whole in the past as well. And yet "Sculpting in Time" offers those with aesthetic interests something truly unique. It should be forewarned that Tarkovsky, like Ingmar ...

Heaven Without Her: A Desperate Daughter's Search for the Heart of Her Mother's Faith9 reviews

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Excellent read - couldn't put it down.
The author has a gift for getting close to your heart. When I saw Mark Buchanan's review in the front of the book, I knew I wanted to read it. Started it Sat. morning and finished it that day. Could not put the book down. It is a tearjerker, but in a good way. Kitty, thanks for letting us get to know your mom, your dad, you, Dave, and Thumper.

Secure XML: The New Syntax for Signatures and Encryption9 reviews
Donald E. Eastlake, Kitty Niles

Pearson Education, 2002

XML and cryptography?
Suppose you have XML data that you want to regularly send to Bob, across the Internet. But it is of a confidential nature, so you don't want to send it as plaintext. Well, you can try using low level encryptions, like SSL or TLS. But these don't give any authentication, ie. Bob can't tell that you actually sent them. Also, once Bob gets the messages, they are all in plaintext, so he can't easily ... 		  
  







  
  
Quilting With Japanese Fabrics16 reviews
Kitty Pippen

Martingale and Company, 2000

what an inspiration!
I'm not much of a quilter, but I do love Japanese fabrics, both the old Japanese textiles and the current quilting fabrics. If your stash of Japanese fabrics is squeezing out of it's hidey-hole, this could be a great book to get that fabric out of the dark and up where everyone can see it in beautiful quilts, wall hangings, pillow covers, etc. It's not just that Kitty uses Japanese fabrics to ...

Alaska Justice Ha! I have the average reader of Kincaid's Alaska Justice at a disadvantage. You see I know Jack Blake, I know the beautiful Wildlife Officer Jet. I also know the nit picker First Shirts and lunatic killer Jack had to run aground near Kennecott/McCarthy on that cold, snowing winter day and night. You will thoroughly enjoy a captivating non stop adventure! You see, I really ...

Time Within Time: The Diaries 1970-19866 reviews
Andrei Arsenevich Tarkovskii

Verso Books, 1993

A wonderful, insightful book
This is possibly the only book that captures the essence of Tarkovsky even better than his own "Sculpting in Time", which is surely one of the greatest film theory books ever written. Extremely personal, the diaries offer a close-up view of T., from daily minutiae to spiritual and emotional crises. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to anyone who loves Tarkovsky. At this time, this book book *is* in print in ...

This Clumsy's Favorite Fairy
This one was cute. I Prilla is she a fairy with the talent of blinking to the clumsies (humans) mainland and playing with child. This talent keeps the fairies alive because it keeps the belief of fairies alive. I wish there was a little more of her using her talent because I think it cute when she plays with the kids. It had a pretty good lesson at the end too.

Kitty Wiemelt

Windmill Publisher, LLC, 2006

Packed up the tent and moved across the country too
Whether laid off or time off, getting back into the swing of things can turn out to be more than one had bargained for. That was true in my case when I drove from Maine to Arizona to join my partner and start a new life adventure. This book was inspiring and comforting. Hearing other life travelers' stories always are and Kitty has written it in such a way as to offer you hope, encouragement, ... 		  
  







  
  
Tycho & Kepler8 reviews
Kitty Ferguson

Walker & Company, 2002

Tycho & Kepler - a gooooood read
Tycho & Kepler - The Unlikely Friendship that Forever Changed Our Understanding of the Heavens is, for the most part, an excellent novel and easy read. Although it is a little confusing and dry at the times when complex astronomical concepts are being explained, they are outweighed by the wealth of historical accounts and gratuitous, but juicy tidbits. For instance, besides explaining the ...

Solos7 reviews
Kitty Burns Florey

Berkley Trade, 2004

Forget Eating, Forget Sleeping....Just keep Reading!
This is one of the most entertaining novels I've read in a long time. It has everything: young love, an eccentric collection of artists, an equally odd collection of dogs, and a murder plot. What more can you ask? Oh yeah -- it's also a page-turner, and laugh-out-loud funny.
