books about: johannes     books:       Desiree62 reviews Annemarie Selinko Entrelibros, 2005 A completely charming Desiree's life story, from spurned fiance of Napoleon to Queen of two countries I'm a certified anglophile, when it comes to history. This is probably because I am one-half Angelo Celtic and so the history I read about when I read about England, Scotland and Ireland, is in some sense my own. It is a basic human urge to understand where we come from after all. Anyway, this is my way of saying I don't "get" France. I can't speak French (and so in books when there's some French ...             Extraordinary Putting: Transforming the Whole Game10 reviews Fred Shoemaker, Jo Hardy Putnam Adult, 2006 Zen Golf Although I see several different philosophies woven into the authors work, what you call it doesn't matter. Reading this book is an essential for any golfer. You will learn things about yourself you didn't know, why you play golf....and, it will be an aid to improving your game. I have not practiced all the exercises, but just by reading the book, my swing and thought process has changed. My ...             Tycho & Kepler8 reviews Kitty Ferguson, 2002 Tycho & Kepler - a gooooood read Tycho & Kepler - The Unlikely Friendship that Forever Changed Our Understanding of the Heavens is, for the most part, an excellent novel and easy read. Although it is a little confusing and dry at the times when complex astronomical concepts are being explained, they are outweighed by the wealth of historical accounts and gratuitous, but juicy tidbits. For instance, besides explaining the ...             The Art of Color: The Subjective Experience and Objective Rationale of Color9 reviews Johannes Itten Wiley, 1997 This is THE premium book on color As an artist who uses color in my work, this book has been invaluable. The color wheel has always been my primary reference for color combinations; however, since reading Johannes Itten book, an entirely new world of understanding and enlightenment has evolved. I love this book for how it has enriched my knowledge and passion for color.             Color atlas of anatomy: A photographic study of the human body35 reviews Johannes W Rohen Igaku-Shoin, 1983 excellent This atlas has real cadaver photos for all areas of the body. The fact that the pictures are real will help when studying for a practical exam in anatomy. The only negative aspect is there are around 50 pins per page which could be annoying when searching for a part you want to find.             Leonardo Da Vinci: The Complete Paintings and Drawings26 reviews Frank Zollner, Johannes Nathan Taschen, 2003 awesome this book is a daily source of admiration, exposed on our table and we change the page practically every day to have a new work of wonder to admire every day. combined with more and deeper information on leonardo da Vinci the true art becomes clear.             Johannes Brahms21 reviews Jan Swafford Macmillan, 1999 A Magisterial--or Should I Say, Masterly?--Work of Biography I have never heard a piece of music by composer Jan Swafford, but if he composes as well as he writes, his music should be stimulating indeed. Some reviewers have called this book hard to put down, a page-turner. I found it so. Part of its interest lies in Brahms himself; any book that purports to shed even a bit of light on so enigmatic a figure would cause one to turn pages in hopes of ...             Survival of the Smartest: Managing Information for Rapid Action and World-Class Performance12 reviews Haim Mendelson, Johannes Ziegler Wiley, 1999 a large leap forward for humanity -and IQ - of organisations The importance of this book can be judged by any employee asking why can't we work in an organisation which is better developed on the author's 5 Organisational IQ factors: 1 EXTERNAL INFORMATION AWARENESS, ie each part of our organisation captures external information (customers, technology opportunities, competitors' actions) quickly and accurately 2 EFFECTIVE DECISION ARCHITECTURE, ie in ...             Johannes Brahms: Life and Letters6 reviews Johannes Brahms Oxford University Press, USA, 1998 Wonderful translation, superb commentary The virtues of this book are several: about 800 previously untranslated letters of Brahms, masterfully translated and carefully and judiciously annotated, based on research entirely from source materials which, among other things, give the lie to the unsavory myths of Brahms childhood, proving beyond doubt that he came from a hard-working, well-meaning family who lived in a good neighborhood, ...             Lives of the Musicians: Good Times, Bad Times (and What the Neighbors Thought)14 reviews Kathleen Krull audible.com GREAT for kids - first exposure to composers tough for little ones My daughter's piano teacher gave her the assignment to read about Mozart as she started her first Mozart Minuet. My daughter was 7 at the time, and although she was reading at above 3rd grade level, I was shocked to find that there was NOTHING available on the internet or in her school library that give her information on composers at HER level. I finally found "Lives of the Musicians" and have ...             Sobotta: Atlas of Human Anatomy : Head, Neck, Upper Limb6 reviews Williams & Wilkins, 1997 A "Must Have" For Anatomy Study/Review. Awesome!! I highly recommend Sobotta (Book/CD-ROM) whether used alone or as a supplement to Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy. I am a physician assistant graduate student at Marquette University and I find the illustrations & references to be very useful when studying for my gross anatomy lecture & lab. Sobotta provides modern imaging diagnostics, endoscopic images, color photographs of surgical ...             The Westminster Larger Catechism: A Commentary G. I. Williamson P & R Publishing, 2002             Es Muss Nicht Immer Kaviar Sein5 reviews Johannes Mario Simmel Read it! (In whatever language you can find) I read this book (in German) while visiting a friend in Germany and have been trying to get my own copy ever since. The lighthearted and lovable protagonist, Thomas Lieven, leads the reader on a merry adventure through World War II Europe and South America. Because of his social connections and incredible language skills, Lieven--whose greatest ambition is to be left in peace to create his ...             The Berlin Connection4 reviews Johannes Mario Simmel Warner Books, 1986 very entertaining, hard to put down. I assume (correctly I hope) that the Berlin Connection is J.M. Simmel's first book translated from the Swiss edition titled "Es muss nicht immer Kaviar sein" or "Not always Caviar" published in 1960 in Zurich . If so, it's superb. The plot moves forward at a great pace, and the recipes are wonderful. Very entertaining.             Kepler4 reviews Max Caspar Dover Publications, 1993 Widely considered Kepler's definitive biography Although written in 1948, Caspar's biography is today still the most comprehensive attempt to portray the person of Kepler in a unified manner. This work reflects Caspar's lifetime of work dedicated to Kepler's many publications, manuscripts, and correspondences, and, thanks to additional citations made by editor Owen Gingerich, the reader may now find where nearly all of these passages derive ...             Patrology5 reviews Johannes Quasten Christian Classics, 1983 Authoritative for Patristics This Amazon page is about Volume 2 of Quasten's Patrology, a four-volume scholarly survey of writings by the church fathers in the first several centuries of the Christian era. Some reviews give the impression that the Patrology is an anthology of those writings. In fact, it is a survey that includes many excerpts (in English), often a page in length, to give a fair idea of what the author under ...             The Statistical Mechanics of Financial Markets4 reviews Johannes Voit Springer-Verlag, 2001 Very useful bridge between physics methodologies and finance Very useful book, particularly in what concerns alternative L-Stable distributions. True, not too versed in financial theory but I'd rather see the author erring on the side of more physics than mathematical economics. As an author I don't ask much from books, just to deliver what they indend. This one does. Clear historical description of Einstein/Bachelier. Hopefully one day we will call ...             Prayers and Devotions: 365 Daily Meditations5 reviews Pope John Paul II Penguin (Non-Classics), 1998 Quite Simply: The Best Book I have ever read. Inspirational. Profound. Practical. A companion. A one page/three-minute read every day. And an opportunity to plumb the depths of what it means to be a man or a woman. Philosophy has been called: The Queen of all Sciences. These meditations are from the mind of a brilliant philosopher. A great intellect. An extraordinary human being. A man who has used his mind to reason to Truth. A ...             Johannes Brahms Complete Symphonies in full score (Vienna Gesellschaft Der Musikfreunde Edition)5 reviews Johannes Brahms Dover Publications, 1974 Great Reproduction of a Classic Scores This edition is (inexpensive), detailed, and easy to read. I use these scores for study and rehearsal and I highly reccommend it. Detailed corrections (as well as explanations) from earlier editions were done by Hans Gal. It is a large score (9 3/8 x 12 1/4 inches)and the is very durable. The pages are thick and the binding allows for the score to lie flat for easy use.             Poverty of spirit4 reviews Johannes Baptist Metz Newman Press, 1968 summary of poverty in Christology from Augustine to Merton Metz singles out poverty as the key to salvation and union with God because poverty as he sees it is the summit and fulfillment of our natures and our participation in creation. Poverty of spirit recognizes the essential unfulfillment of the present human state, the poverty of lacking union with God. God is humanity's highest and only good; poverty of spirit recognizes the forlorn state of ...              search for books catechism, commentary, complete, connection, devotions, drawings, experience, extraordinary, financial, gesellschaft, information, leonardo, managing, mechanics, meditations, musicians, musikfreunde, neighbors, objective, paintings, patrology, performance, photographic, rationale, statistical, subjective, symphonies, transforming, westminster, world-class books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
