Frida Kahlo: National Homage 1907-2007

Salomon Grimberg, James Oles, ...

Editorial RM, 2008

A very well written book, but poorly illustrated.
This book is the catalogue for a huge exhibition held in 2007 at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico organized as a celebration for the centennial of Frida Kahlo's birth. Self-proclaimed "the most important devoted to the artist in recent decades", the book starts with an introduction by Carlos Fuentes which can be read like a poetical biography of the artist, with vivid descriptions of the ...

Kyriacos C. Markides

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1988

An excellent book on out of body experience and travel
Homage To The Sun is an excellent book on Daskalos Kostas, and their group the Order of the Unpointed Dagger. It relates how Daskalos tells us how our Karma, Fate, and life is evolving through phases. He tells us how to briefly train for out of body experiences, and what we must face as to the spirits of the land and nature. The book also relates about the more then four dimensions we in ...

Family Matters: Homage to July, The Sl Girl

Shelby Stephenson

Bellday Books, 2008

Crossing genres with an entirely new sound - a bold approach to poetry
"Family Matters" relies on a scrim of documentation to present a sharp, almost clinial dissection of the past that traces the narration to an understanding of heritage and identity in a generation some hundred years removed. I loved its rich, layered narrative because it forces the reader to step back and question genre. It crosses all of them. "Family Matters" is essentially capitalist ...

Homage to Czerny
Gert Jonke

Dalkey Archive Press, 2008

Gert Jonke's prose ripples along like a piano etude, transcending its meticulously constructed sequences to transport the reader into an imaginary world. With a delightful combination of the ridiculous and the sublime, Jonke explores surreal dimensions of space and sound, always anchoring his flights of fancy in accessible imagery. More than any other author, Jonke, a pianist turned writer, avails himself of compositional techniques from ...

Homage to Gaia: The Life of an Independent Scientist

James Lovelock

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

The Life of an Independent Scientist
This is a remarkable book by and about a remarkable man. Big science is now the norm so that few working scientists manage to survive on their own. But Jim Lovelock not only survived but was responsible for a number of outstanding scientific achievements. I met Jim when he was a consultant to Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in the 1970's. I was a physicist with an intense interest in ...

Homage to the Himalayas

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2006

deeply moving photographs
I checked this book out of the library and fell in love with it. The landscapes have the quality of a dream, or a painting. I appreciated the photographer who would choose these sights to capture with the camera. The thumbnail index at the end was most interesting in explaining the fascinating images. And at a very reasonable price.

Homage to Catalonia

George Orwell

Harvest Books, 1980

A Supplement and an Obituary
"Homage to Catalonia" has long passed from the shelf for current events to the shelf of primary historical sources. No one can study the Spanish Civil War without encountering it. On that basis, it's a five-star book; all primary sources should get five stars. As a reading experience, it's not without weaknesses, which the earlier review by H. Schneider examines cogently. I refer you to that ...

Helvetica: Homage to a Typeface

Lars Müller

Lars Müller Publishers, 2005

It's no Akzidenz
First the mystery: just why was every alternate page in the book joined together? The reader has to carefully cut the perforations to be able to look at every page. I can't find any reference in the small amount of text about this. My conclusion is that the public use of the type is on the open pages and non-public (or designed) examples are on the perforation joined pages. At least you'll ...

Homage to Pythagoras: Rediscovering Sacred Science

1 review

Lindisfarne Books, 1994

loaded
I have read this book more than twice and still I continue to glean information from it. It's loaded with information/fact from architecture music form that will help any person relate facts of number to each other. This is one of the best books that I've read concerning sacred geometry. I recommend.

The Fountain of the Love of Wisdom: An Homage to Marie-Louise Von Franz

1 review

Chiron Publications, 2006

Hommage for M.L. von Franz
This collection of contributions honors the great ML. von Franz - for sure one of C.G. Jungs most wonderful pupils. A small part of the book is just a collection of what is written on the back cover of her books...but most impressive and touching is what people say about her, people she knew in private and her analysands..it also uncovers some of her personal attitudes and she speaks freely about ...

But Do Blondes Prefer Gentlemen?: Homage to Qwert Yuiop and Other Writings

Anthony Burgess

McGraw-Hill, 1986

Very good company, this Burgess fellow
I've read only a few Anthony Burgess novels (the Orange and _1985_) and keep meaning to get around to _Earthly Powers_ and _A Dead Man in Deptford_, but I sure enjoy his nonfiction. The two volumes of his autobio come highly recommended. And this. A pity this big ol' honkin' collection of essays is out of print. Burgess covers the waterfront, from other writers ("Mailer may need money to ...
