A Sense of Place: Great Travel Writers Talk About Their Craft, Lives, and Inspiration (Travelers' Tales)

15 reviews
Michael Shapiro

Travelers' Tales, 2004

A stimulating, inspirational, provocative book
Michael Shapiro's conceptualization for the format of "A Sense of Place" was a stroke of genius. I found the book in the travel section of a bookstore. However, I feel-strongly, that "A Sense of Place" also belongs under the "Literature" and "Writing" headings. "Rich" is the word which consistently entered my mind as I read the interviews with each of the 18 writers whom Shapiro included in ...

Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics

Wiley, 2007

Great book
This is a very good text book, it is well written and keeps it short and sweet. It gets to the point. One great feature is that it boxes in derivations that are not nessacary to understand, this way you don't get bogged down in a lot of text. There are tons of examples in the book and no mistakes that I could find. You really can read and understand everything from the text, you don't really need ...

Morris Louis Now

High Museum of Art, Atlanta, 2006

excellent
I saw this exhibition recently at the Hirshorn in Washington and it was phenominal. This book has a few extra images that weren't in the show. The book is printed in landscape diameter which is a good choice given Louis' paintings, all 28 of which are reproduced in lavish color. The book spans his entire mature career, offering several examples of each of his different There are also three new ...

Rings: Five Passions in World Art

1 review

Harry N Abrams, 1996

A Wonderful Collection of Art
Rings is a wonderful compilation of art and artists in an incredibly unique collection. Each piece is discussed in order to help readers understand these contributions to the artistic world. This book is informative, asthetic and well worth the wait. I was fortunate enough to visit the exhibit in Atlanta and this is an incredible keepsake to remember it by.

The Last Good Season: Brooklyn, the Dodgers and Their Final Pennant Race Together

Michael Shapiro

Broadway, 2004

" 'He Wanted Desperately To Stay' ? Apparently not! " Rated ***(**)
THE LAST GOOD SEASON, by Michael Shapiro, earns itself a provisional rating of FIVE STARS in my mind, based primarily on the quality of the writing (which is uniformly excellent) and the depth of the research (which, within limits, is exhaustive). Yet the book deserves, like Roger Maris' "61*", to be only a qualified ***(**) success. Much of that qualification comes from Shapiro's heavily ...

Boxed Set: My Wife the Metaphysician and Palimpsest of Consciousness
Michael Shapiro

BookSurge, 2008

A two-book, slipcase set of Michael Shapiro's groundbreaking works. In My Wife the Metaphysician, or Lady Murasaki's Revenge, Michael Shapiro devises a storied diary that views the world through the eyes of an inimitable woman whose being and essence are determined by her superlative and penetrating intellect. Inspired by the great Japanese literature by upper-class women writers of the mid-Heian period, eighty-four masterfully woven sections ...

McGraw-Hill, 2006

Great Idea, Wonderful Book!
The musics are...some of them are good, but i don't like every pieces. But that doesn't matter a lot. I found this book is really working well the first time I opened it and listened to the first song. The words keep showing in my mind and I can even sing without the music. And it's fun to learn vocabs without enduring any pain. I'd recommend you to get one if you want to have some fun while ...

Modulations: A History of Electronic Music: Throbbing Words on Sound

4 reviews
Iara Lee, Michael Berk, ...

D.A.P./Caipirinha, 2000

Highly recommended
This is a tremendously informative book. Densly packed with info, and a fascinating read. My only complaint is that, since chapters were contributed by different writers, there's no style that really permeates the book. The chapter on Techno, for example, does a great job at contextualizing the Detroit sound, pointing out the influences that led to the evolution of techno, from a musical ...

Frommer's 2000 Chicago (Frommer's Chicago, 2000)

Frommer's, 2000

Good travel book
It's a good guide to Chicago. It helped me plan my trip, and navigate my way through the city. However, like any other travel book, some sites in Chicago do go out of business, and is still listed in the book. So, I suggest calling ahead or asking your concierge if the place is still in business. The book is a good starting block for your first trip to Chicago. It gives descriptive ...

As the number of museums in the United States has grown to more than 6500 in this century, the museum profession has experienced similar growth.

This reference volume serves as an up-to-date guide to this wealth of ...

Richard Meier

Rizzoli, 2006

CLASSIC MEIER
Richard Meier's work is so gorgeous and this book captures in perfectly, in vivid, crisp images and insightful text. Personally, I love all of Meier's work, but his Museums are where he guilds the lilly, but in a good way, because of the massive budgets, he can indulge, and he does. In the breathtaking Getty, he had a benefactor with unlimited resourses and he created, what most consider his ...
