Artful Italy: The Hidden Treasures (Invisible Cities Travel Guide)
5 reviews

An artful and art filled book
Artful Italy is a wonderful book. I checked out Florence and Venice first because those are the cities that I really know. I was daring Artful Italy to come up with something I didn't know. And it did.. The Stibbert Museum which sounds like a delight I missed entirely. But the thing I really regret is not knowing about the Bomarzo Gardens, a bit of a trip from Florence; as a teen I ...

Great Baking on Any Page
I've owned this cookbook for a number of years, and it is my go-to cookbook when I am looking for some new baked good for my family or to give as gifts. The "Simplest Apple Pie" recipe has made unexpected entertaining easier, and my 2-year old loves the gingerbread. Someday I hope to be able to say I've baked everything in this beautiful book!

Imperium, Postmodernism, Darn.
If you look for thinking beyond trashy talk radio, corporate news, and the disease of our culture, this book is for you. After exposing the hypocrisy of the various factions that constitute our non-culture and a political apparatus that would make a general systems theorist drool, Mr. Hulet spende a large portion of the book laying out the broad outlines of the future that a corporate empire ...

Excellent and realistic
Over 130 pages of great instruction and realistic photos that show that anyone who takes the time can do applique. Not only are the designs that you can Xerox for patterns crisp, but the instruction is easy to read and follow. And the photos are exact size, so you see what you will get when you are done. I liked the book because it also says that we can choose our own material, which suits our ...
Human, All-Too-Human Hulet, A Fin de Siecle Nietzschean Retrospective
4 reviews
Craig B. Hulet
The Artful Nuance
, 1999
review by dean pikard, ph.d.
"Craig Hulet's book is not a work on Nietzsche; rather, it provides a critique of American culture stimulated by Nietzsche's critique of Western culture and human life more broadly. Hulet's style is highly personal and will not please some readers, but his content pulls no punches. This book is a wake up call for serious self-reflection, for those strong enough and honest enough to seriously ...

The Best book on Ribbonwork!
This is the best book on ribbonwork. It incorporates many beautiful pictures of vintage and some contemporary work. The entire book is instructional (no silly projects to fill the pages!!!). The instructions are excellent and this is as close to a "beginners" introduction to the subject as I have been able to find. At first I was disappointed that there were very few photographs of instructions. ...
The Hydra of Carnage: Bush's Imperial War-making and the Rule of Law

Craig B Hulet
Artful Nuance, 2002
9/11-Empire Building-And what it means to Americans.
Hopefully Americans can put down their flags and try to learn about what brought us to 9/11. Mr. Hulet has made a pristine and thought provoking argument of why 9/11 came about. He has made an articulate argument of how the US government has used the crisis of 9/11 to carry out politcal objectives that otherwise could not be achieved (like the Caspian region oil and gas pipelines). He goes into ...

This book's next stop should be at the box office
I thoroughly enjoyed An Artful Affair. I found the topic, the descriptions of the City, and the author's knowledge of art and the art world fascinating. It's particularly timely read given the recent art heists and controversy about WWII ownership. The characters and their lives are varied and interesting. They represesnt the whole continuum from monied collectors, who have no real right to ...
Goat Cheese: Delectable Recipes for All Occasions (Artful Kitchen)

Get your goat (cheese)
One of the nicest culinary trends to happen in the 90's was the introduction of goat cheese (much of it made in small American dairies) to the general public. Goat milk is different from cows milk in flavor (more rich and herby) and in the fact that the fat or cream is distributed in small droplets. Goats milk is naturally homogenized. There are countless kinds of goat cheeses, but the most ...

Eloquent language and subject mastery
In this book which explores both the origins and some later traditions of the Hindu religion (focussing on the Vedas and the Upanisads), William Mahony's mastery of the subject is clear and captivating through his poetic prose and his ability to draw on language which is memorable and at times stunning. A wonderful read for anyone interested in the subject. This book can serve as an ...

Chicken is "little" no more
As a lover of chicken recipes and collectibles, I believe I have found the perfect book. I've enjoyed every recipe I've tried and can't wait for the lavender in my garden to bloom so I can try the Honey and Lavender Baked Chicken Leg recipe.I found the history of chicken information Ms. Arnaud provides in the book to be absolutely charming.

I have been a bit hesitant to travel to Central America, though I would like to do so. With this book I feel confident that my travel will be fun and full of adventure but the headaches of planning are taken care of. I am not looking for an ordinary "group tour" type of vacation and I am excited to try travel according to The Artful Nomad! In addition to the practical info, Steve Stratman's ...

Comment reussit-on a ecrire sans faire de grands efforts?
Le travail colle a cause de l'organisation sympathique aux lecteurs et soucieuse de l'essentiel. L'essentiel c'est tout d'abord le titre qui attire les lecteurs et resume le travail. L'essentiel ce sont ensuite les premieres frases qui identifient les idees de l'auteur. L'essentiel ce sont aussi les paragraphes suivants qui justifient le parti pris de l'ecrivain. L'essentiel ce sont enfin les ...

Humorous, clever, and a great setting
Mallorcan Inspector Alvarez is a laid-back policeman, one might even say lazy. He likes a peaceful life, well lubricated with good food and drink. But when arrogant foreigners treat him with undue disrespect, Alvarez becomes tenacious, even stubborn. In his 23rd Alvarez novel, Jeffries, who lives on the Spanish Island of Mallorca, gives us a couple of English villains. Keith Vickers, a ...

Beautiful Cards that Can Actually be done!
I bought this book because I wanted to make beautiful, boutique-like cards, but couldn't ever quite get the look right. The Artful Card has a combination shabby-chic/whimsical feeling, and the instructions are excellent. There are pictures/instructions for every step of the project. Well worth the money! I look forward to more books from this author!!!

Home accents and Wardrobe accessories from thread
Creating purses and bowls with "just thread"? WOW! This book shows you just how do to that plus other things such as earrings, brooches and embellishments. If you do machine embroidery or quilting, you will have some idea of how this works. Stabilizers, thread and free motion machine feet are all something you are already familiar with. Ms. Hawks takes you through the steps in easy to ...
