Vicki Bruce, Andrew W. Young

Oxford University Press, 2000

Perception introduced smartly, fascinatingly.
Authors Bruce and Young introduce aspects of the science of perception with reference to works of art. The book is a delight to read, and almost as much fun to browse, because the numerous images lead the browser to puzzle over the demonstrated twists of perception. The authors take appropriate, detailed steps in explaining the physical and psychological path of seeing. Additionally, they show ...

The Eyes of the Beholders

Pocket Books, 1992

"Eye" like it!
I bought this novel recently at a library's sale of discarded books, and frankly I am impressed by this diamond in the rough. It isn't the *best* thing I've ever read, but it is impressive all the same. In fact, it's the best one out of the several Star Trek books I bought at that sale. I think part of the reason I love it so much is that the style is exactly like a Star Trek episode. ...

Color is in the Eye of the Beholder

Arlene Evans

CVD Publishing, 2004

A Must Read for Preschool and Elementary School Teachers
Webster's dictionary gives "colorblind" two definitions: one, the ability to see only black, white and shades of gray, and two, the inability to distinguish one or more colors. In Arlene Evans's book, "Color is in the Eye of the Beholder", we learn that many people use the word "colorblind" incorrectly. Most people are not "blind" to color, but simply don't see as wide a range of colors. The word ...

Pack your bags and head off on a 30-year quest to the ends of the earth with Geographic photographer Jim Stanfield! Take a look at the world through the "eye" of a true artist! His photos will knock your socks off, as you might well expect; National Geographic's never published a book entirely devoted to one photographer's body of work before. But equally precious are the insights ...

Ballantine Books, 1999

Bone-chilling suspense, almost more than I could handle
The books is amazing in every way. I wanted to read it after watching the movie, and certainly didn't regret it. Although, not quite. The author paints a picture of a private investigator chasing after a woman he was paid and instructed to find. He does his job, successfully, but then gets mildly infatuated with her. Then simply obsessed. And he also has a daughter who helps him at it; what is ...

Pocket, 1999

Eye of the Beholder
Trask and Alexa have good chemistry. The Eye of the Beholder is a funny, fast-paced mystery/romance. It's just different enough from other Jayne Ann Krentz works to keep the reader guessing and interested. It's one of a few Jayne Ann Krentz novels that doesn't take place in Seattle. I liked the ending showdown between the murderer and the romantic couple. One question though: Why does a ...

The Beholder: The Experience of Art in Early Modern Europe (Histories of Vision) (Histories of Vision) ...

Ashgate Publishing, 2006

One of the most significant developments in the study of works of art over the past generation has been a shift in focus from the works themselves to the viewer's experience of them and the relation of that experience both to the works in question and to other aspects of cultural life. The ten essays written for this volume address the experience of art in early modern Europe and approach it from a variety of methodological perspectives: ...

Beholders of Divine Secrets: Mysticism and Myth in the Hekhalot and Merkavah Literature

1 review
Vita Daphna Arbel

State University of New York Press, 2003

The palace and chariot in the ANE
This is the author's doctoral dissertation in book form. It is a study of mythological motifs from the Ancient Near East in the Jewish mystical tradition in late antiquity and early medieval period. It is an interesting study from a comparative perspective, but does not draw any conclusion regarding the transmission of the ideas from Mesopotamia in 500BC and the Hekhalot and Merkavah literature ...

Heather Forest

Yellow Moon Press, 2005

Winner of the Parents' Choice Classic Award and recipient of a 1995 Storytelling World Honor Award, Heather's first tape for adults is a truly magical listening experience. Her versions of "Beauty and the Beast," "Dame Ragnel" and "The Nightingale" speak with clarity and insight on the relativity of perception when it comes to our understanding of beauty, love, grief, and greed. The five stories are told in Heather's musical style that blends ...

Pinnacle, 1995

A very strange man
Lowell Cauffiel has done a tremendous job in detailing the investigation of Diane King's murder. Her husband, Brad King, was the main suspect after the initial interviews and crime scene reconnaissance, but with some police errors and departmental territorialism, the forensic evidence that could have tied Brad to the murder was lost or inadmissible. I felt the frustration of the prosecutors and ...

Sue Hamilton

RoutledgeCurzon, 2000

A Masterful Scholarly Book on the Essentials of Early Buddhism
This is a fantastic book that explores from a scholarly perspective the fundamental teachings of early Buddhism: anatta, anicca, dukkha, nibbana, skandhas, and dependent-origination. What is so good about this book, is that Dr. Hamilton is able to pull together all the different threads of early Buddhist thought in to a coherent whole, illuminating the inter relationships between the teachings ...

Uri Rubin

Darwin Pr, 1995

Required Reading on Sira Literature
Putting aside the usual question of 'what really happened', Rubin's excellent study is a textual analysis of the themes found in the sira [biographical] literature written about Muhammad after his death. Dividing his analysis of tradition into five chronological themes (attestation, preparation, revelation, persecution, and salvation), he examines each to show how in writing the biography of ...
