Color Atlas of Acupuncture: Body Points - Ear Points - Trigger Points (Complementary Medicine (Thieme))

5 reviews
Hans-Ulrich Hecker, Angelika Steveling, ...

Georg Thieme Verlag, 2008

A quality book
I was a bit dubious about buying this book as I have a lot of books on acupuncture already and no one had reviewed it. The reason I was considering it was mainly because of the ear acupuncture, which is often not covered in much detail in mainstream acupuncture books. Anyway, about a year after looking at it (since it was always popping up when I was browsing), I took the plunge - and it was ...

Insight Guide Amazon Wildlife (Insight Guides Amazon Wildlife)

6 reviews
Hans-Ulrich Bernard

Insight Guides, 2002

COMPILATION RATHER THAN GUIDE
This book is very interesting in the choice of animals it makes and has interesting facts about the Amazon and its species. However, its proposition to be a full guide is too ambitious and cannot be achieved in so short a space. Some of the most significant deficiencies relate to the flora, which is only sparsely described. It is not too helpful in identifying species, especially given the ...

Volcanism

3 reviews
Hans-Ulrich Schmincke

Springer, 2005

The best book on volcanoes that I have ever read.
As a glance at some of my other reviews may indicate, I am very interested in nearly all aspects of volcanoes and volcanology. This is by far the best book that I have ever read on the general subject. The photography is in four-color format and is about the best I have ever encountered on the topics. The book is jam-packed with illustrative diagrams of high quality, and both photos and ...

Re: CP
Cedric Price, Patrick Keiller, ...

Birkhäuser Basel, 2003

Cedric Price claimed that cooking is a good metaphor for architecture - a spontaneous and creative process in which design ideas can be developed, constructed and submitted to the user / consumer for approval in a single sitting. This is a collection of (the now deceased) CP's finest architectural recipes. One of Britain's most influential architectural thinkers, Price inspired generations of architects with his radical conceptual approach. He ...

This insightful book features a clear PVC cover designed by the artist, printed in silver ink. Barney's sometimes ominous and sometimes sexy black-and white work is highlighted by a 12-page high gloss full color insert--the centerfold, if you will.

Stuka-Pilot Hans-Ulrich Rudel: His Life Story in Words in Photographs (Schiffer Military History)

11 reviews
Gunther Just

Schiffer Publishing, 1990

The autobiography of the greatest soldier
Despite his post-war political activities, Rudel still stands out as the most noteworthy soldier of the war, arguably the greatest combat pilot (Marseille was probably the best fighter pilot) in history and possibly the greatest pilot. He was apparently known to some as arrogant and unpleasant. He was the only soldier in the German armed forces to receive the Knight's Cross with golden ...

In Praise of Athletic Beauty

3 reviews
Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht

Belknap Press, 2006

Academic but enjoyable
This book is definitely more academic and perhaps not the best reading for the recreational sports enthusiast. But for a deeper look - philosophically and intellectually - this is a great book to delve into the concept of flow. What this book offers in contrast to other books on flow in sports is that it focuses primarily on the spectator, which is not very often explored in books of this type. ...

Gerhard Richter: Sils
Gerhard Richter, Hans-Ulrich Obrist, ...

Charles Rivers Publishing Co., 2003

Whenever Gerhard Richter goes to Sils, a small town in the Swiss Alps, he makes photographs, some of which he overpaints and adds to his Atlas . Others he treats as autonomous works, as in those presented in this intimate artist's book. In the overpainted photographs, the levels of reality evident in photography are combined with those that exist in painting. However, the paired concepts prove redundant of both the realism in photographic ...

Peter Bolz, Hans-Ulrich Sanner

University of Washington Press, 2000

One of the world's greatest treasure troves of Native American artifacts-nearly 30,000 objects-lies in the vaults of the Ethnological Museum Berlin (until recently the Museum f?r V?lkerkunde). The pieces were collected over a 100-year period, beginning in the first half of the 19th century, by a dedicated group of explorers, wealthy adventurers, and traders, among them James Cook, Duke Paul of Wurttenberg, and Franz Boas. It is a stunning and ...
