A classic not to be missed!
This is even better--more compact and convenient without taking away from the quality--thsn the Criterion Laser Disc I have, with all the interesting bonuses included (storyboards, screen tests, etc.) This is a classic movie in itself...but for the avid fan, this edition is a MUST HAVE for any West Side Story fanatic!

New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain Workbook: Guided Practice in the Five Basic Skills of Drawing

Betty Edwards

Tarcher, 2002

Cracking the wall
I have a family that is full of artists, and always felt really sad that I couldn't draw even a stick figure! A little while ago I realised something important - that drawing is a form of literacy, like writing, and so many of us don't make it past kindergarten. Visual communication is really under-rated in our school systems, which pretty much relegates most of us to the category of ...

Excellent for People Who Say I CANT DRAW!
I don't know why the neg reviewers on here are bowing down to The "Natural Way to Draw," like it was written by some genius guru. There's a reason "Natural Way to Draw" is listed waaay down on the Amazon rank (almost 5,000 down) compared to this book, "New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" .... meh. If you tell yourself any of these things, this book is for you: * I can't draw * I ...

Walk on the Wild Side (The Others, Book 5)

Christine Warren

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008

If I were king of the forest...
Nice story -- I really enjoyed it. A young woman suddenly, traumatically, finds that she is a shape-shifter. Her father, who she had thought was a high-school boy who died in a car-crash, is a Leo -- a were-lion -- a pride leader, and alive. To learn who she really is, and how to control this new aspect of her nature, she goes to visit. Trouble -- there are those in his pride who are by no ...

A trip into the wild
This was a favorite of mine as a child, and even when I picked it up again for a reread I was blown away by the sheer majesty of nature that Ms. George manages to inject into this story. In the tradition of Thoreau (which is actually brought up in the story) we get to witness the bond between boy and nature when a city teen runs off into the Catskills. And why not? So many in our modern world are ...

Pearson ESL, 2002

I love "Side by Side"
I was from China and started my life in the USA as a graduate student in Engineering. Although I took the TOEFL before I came to USA, my English is not good enough to express myself clearly and accurately. I decided to improve my English about 4 months ago and started to borrow some ESL books from local libraries. About 2 weeks ago, I found four "Side by Side" books (Book 1 to Book 4) from a ...

A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative

Roger von Oech

Business Plus, 2008

Open the doors to the mind by lubricating the hinges!
Roger von Oech deeply understands that the creative juices flow best when people are relaxed and having fun. He does this by creating a common sense book that has easy to read, and powerful exercise to help tap into the creative nature that we all have. The book is a key element in critical thinking. It focuses on developing the left brain, right brain crossover. I found the book ...

The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game

Michael Lewis

W. W. Norton, 2007

Possibly Lewis' best
Moneyball was as insightful as it was cutting edge, but Blindside goes to another level entirely. The glimpses into the mechanics of football, coaching and player selection are brilliant. The humanitarian side is another story all it's own. Lewis doesn't pull any punches as he details the circumstances surrounding the discovery of Big Mike by the Tuohys, nor does he gloss over the potential ...

Great Book
I've read other Carl Weber books before and this one didn't disappoint. It kept me interested throughout the entire book from beginning to end, and I couldn't put it down. I finished it within 2 days. If you like a book that keeps you on your toes, this is it!

In the early 1900's, there was many problems between colored people and whites. They just didnt get along very well. The colored girl ran inside and asked her ma why she couldn't cross the fence. She told her baby girl that, many ...

Robert Evans

Jossey-Bass, 2001

An excellent review of change and leadership
A staggeringly good book.Easily the best analysis of the change process in education that I've read-and I've 'force-read' a few. Evans' adopts a holistic approach concentrating on why real innovation is so difficult to achieve successfully. However,there is much sage advice and many cogent observations that are enormously thought-provoking. Although ostensibly about change it is also a ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 1994

Unexpected plot twists and delightful travelogue make this my favorite O'Brian novel so far
I am working through Patrick O'Brian's famed Aubrey-Maturin series in order, and am both proud and sad to say that I've reached the midway point with Book 10, "The Far Side of the World." But it is without reservation that I say that this is my favorite novel in the series so far. Part of that enjoyment stems directly from my enjoyment of first nine books in this series - this is not an ...

Debbie Ford

Riverhead Trade, 1999

Good!
Eye-opening book. Ms. Ford explains that our harshest judgments for certain people and the anger directed at them are often emotions/traits that we fear in ourselves. She explains how we hide or deny these dark sides rather than giving ourselves the opportunity to live life to the fullest. Author uses excellent examples from her own life and other real life situations. Exercises follow each ...

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Tutis Digital Publishing Pvt. Ltd., 2008

A brilliant, serious, and triumphant first novel
Fitzgerald's brilliant, serious, and triumphant first novel can be summarized as follows: Bittersweet experience transmutes Amory Blaine's youthful enthusiasm for wealth and romance and art into a mature understanding of self and of the need to serve others. Fitzgerald is a watercolorist, not an oil painter. He conveys meaning with deft gestures that allow a part (of a room, a person, a ...
