The best book, by Jacqueline Shaw
This nonfiction book tells you everything you ever wanted to know about the Titanic. Some of the information the book tells you includes, how they built the ship, the day everyone boarded the ship, the types of people that were on the ship, and finally how the boat sank. I also enjoyed the pictures in the book. Some of the pictures were of the rooms, the details of the ship, and the boiling ...

Mostly Metals: A Beginner's Guide to Jewelry Design3 reviews
Karin V. Buckingham
Kalmbach, 2008
Mostly Metals
Ever think there are just "too many beads?" This book makes "real" jewelry in my opinion! Karin uses the simplest available supplies and summarizes her basic techniques (pg.89) Any beginner will succeed. I think the Rosette Bracelet (pg.46) and the 3'n'3 Link Bracelet (pg.50) are handsome and professional. Her secret is linking together jump rings, of all things. And her Mother's Bracelet on ...

Abra Edelman
Sixth&Spring Books, 2005
Good cause & a fun beginners projects too!
I own both Celebrity Scarves 1 & 2 and I'm having fun with both of them. I'm just a beginner so the fact that there are a lot of garter stitch scarves is fine with me. Knitting is very addictive and these books make it even more so! I find it incredibly relaxing...very yoga like...and you can make the easy projects while you're watching a movie too. I suspect it will take me awhile before I ...

The Historian's Toolbox: A Student's Guide to the Theory and Craft of History3 reviews
Robert C. Williams
M.E. Sharpe, 2007
Grand theory and nuts-and-bolts
Williams gives instructors and students of history two books in one. Part one is a quick look at some of the big ideas and controversies of the profession. These short chapters on such topics as metahistory and anti-history should provide great fodder for class discussions. Part two on "the tools of history" offers good guidance on researching, writing, and thinking about history. Again, short, ...

Some receivers is missing, but you can help!
Yes, this is a catalog of base receivers, 1945-now. Osterman provides many useful informations, and if it may be true that some informations may not be useful to an european reader (e.g. the 'used' prices), you wil not find elsewhere a so comprehensive guide. Another book will be dedicated to portable sw radios. Osterman is not God, so many data are provided by the readers: it's the way the ...

Susan Brown McGreevy
School of American Research Press, 2001
The Basket Planner
The elders are on the front line mixing new ideas into old, at the School of American Research meeting for INDIAN BASKETRY ARTISTS OF THE SOUTHWEST. The area still is known for making baskets and pottery. Coiled or plaited or very old twined, the baskets take more time to make. They also are one of the strongest parts of southwestern cultures, now and back when. Specifically, Hopi indians draw on ...

Lots of Experience and Hard Work
I'm really proud of my father for creating this set of books. He put a lot of heart and hard work into them and has a lifetime of art experience, both personally and professionally, to back them up. I remember working through some of the projects as a young kid, enjoying many different ones with family and friend. Enjoy.

Stephen Trimble
School of American Research Press, 1988
A Great Book!
This book was recommended to me by the owner of a well known Native American Arts gallery as possibly THE best book on the subject, and it completely lives up to the recommendation. Based on a series of interviews with prominent potters from each pueblo, it not only gives an overview of the history of the different potteries, it is filled with personal thoughts and views of the various artists ...

celedon blues
A must for any serious potter trying to duplicate ancient chinese blue celedons. This book is not only a fascinating history on the subject, but a comprhensive study on the hows and whys of achieving this elusive glaze. Although not a book of formulas, one will recieve all the information one needs to easily duplicate this glaze in all its variations.
