Beautiful book!
This book is a fascinating look at materialism, or the lack of it, around the world. Oddly enough, the American family was not the most obviously materialistic; there was a Saudi family with a 42 foot long couch! I have put this gorgeously photographed book in my classroom for independant reading time for my 9th graders. It is filled with statistics, information about the countries and the ...

Wow!
This book is a superlative sequel to the early Material World by Peter Menzel. I have read the earlier book so many times that when this new volume came out, I bought it immediately sight unseen. In this book, Faith D'Aluisio revisits 19 of the 30 families featured in the Material World to find out about the women's lives. The articles are organized alphabetically, together with short ...

The understanding of restrictive covenants is important to any attorney representing a business and to the management staff of a business. This is particularly true where trade secrets and other intellectual property are present, and where customer goodwill is at risk.

pass the grubs
A feast (or just a snack) of insects sounds almost revolting unless of course you deep fry them or place them in lollipops or my favorite barbecued. Whats not to love about straight from the earth cuisine which is actually considered delicacies in many countries. Menzel demonstrates that every continent gets enjoyment from tasty insect treats. But because Menzel is such an amazing photographer, ...

Haunting, essential and beautiful
This book should, in my opinion, be assigned reading for everyone in so-called first world countries. What the author manages to accomplish is nothing short of remarkable- chronicling one week of food consumption in a number of families around the world. The text is well-written and informative, but it's the photographs that speak the loudest. To compare the weekly food consumption of a US or ...

Nothing quite like it
They can climb stairs, juggle balls, open a door, smile engagingly, hear and see, swing like a monkey, crawl like a crab and swim like a fish. Who? Why the robots, of course. This startling picture book explores the amazing scope of robot capabilities. The photographs of the robots and their creators provide a unique picture of the dawn of these intelligent machines. The narratives are brief ...

The lonesome nightly stroller, the dark side of the big city, and the new electric billboards were all subjects of early 20th-century photographers who tried to capture the special atmosphere of the night. Nearly a century later, as the nine contemporary photographers featured in Night Scapes demonstrate, the act of putting everyday architecture and landscapes into a nocturnal light retains its transformative charm.
