It was different from other Patterson books I've read, like Lifeguard, Honeymoom, Cross Books. I did figure it out half way through the story, but parts of ending were still surprising. I have to say I definately enjoyed it.             Moment of Truth in Iraq: How a New 'Greatest Generation' of American Soldiers is Turning Defeat and Disaster ...91 reviews Michael Yon Richard Vigilante Books, 2008 Desmosthenes (sp?) has found his man If that ancienct Greek fellow in search of an honest man is still around, then in Michael Yon he has found his man. On a personal note I work with the US Army from time to time and so I have more chance to listen to people who have "been there" than most, and this book tracks well what I have gotten from these conversations. Yon's writing is simple and made powerful by the honesty of its ...             A Time it Was: Bobby Kennedy in the Sixties7 reviews Bill Eppridge Abrams, 2008 What a book! The first actual memory I have is sitting at the foot of my parent's bed watching RFK's funeral on TV. I was 5 and I had made a little matchbox car motorcade with a flag draped box for a hearse. So maybe this moment in history, which I have subsequently learned more about, might color my review a bit. The pictures are really beautiful and I don't recall seeing many of them before. The ...             Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers,The (Voices That Matter)86 reviews Scott Kelby New Riders Press, 2007 Very Informative! Of all the books I have read so far that pertain to photography and post-processing - I got more out of this book than all the others combined. I was a little frustrated trying to do a few things in Lightroom, particularly with Workflow. This book taught me so many tips and now I fly through Lightroom like a pro! It made me LOVE a program that I simply just liked......I don't mind Kelby's humor, ...             The Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)36 reviews Scott Kelby, Matt Kloskowski New Riders Press, 2008 Scott Kelby's Done It Again I first bought Kelby's guide to Photoshop Elements 4.0. I was flabbergasted at how easily I learned to do fairly complicated things with the program, and have eagerly upgraded to each new book as I upgraded my software. I whiten teeth and eyes with ease, and have even used his direction to add (or subtract!) people to or from photos. The best thing about these books is their inclusion of EVERY ...             The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos27 reviews Michael Freeman Focal Press, 2007 A Master-Class on Photographic Composition Freeman's journey through the the principles of photographic composition is eye-opening, eloquent, and beautifully published. This is not a book on the basics of taking "better photos," so those who seek information on exposure, cameras, lenses will not find it here. Nor is such shooting information for any photographs included. In a general book on photography, this would be a major defect, ...             Robert Frank: The Americans19 reviews Steidl/National Gallery of Art, Washington, 2008 My Life I've been a professional photographer, still in love with photography after 40 years shooting, still shooting every day. Thank you Robert Frank. You've had a vision that is the best photography book ever done, I wish I could do it!!!!             The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)94 reviews Scott Kelby New Riders Press, 2007 The Best Ever! Scott Kelby never ceases to amaze me with his ability to explain all the lessons in such a way that even the ordinary person with very little computer knowledge can understand and apply. This book has helped me to take my good photo's and really make them great. The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)             Master Lighting Guide for Portrait Photographers64 reviews Christopher Grey Amherst Media, Inc., 2004 Great Instruction Manual There are only a few books that I find myself going back to reference over and over. This is one of them. Many light placement diagrams with the resultant photo make this an excellent quick reference guide. The author stimulates the reader to attempt new combinations. My only objection is the use of many white bookends. Those are not staples in most studios. Also, reflectors do not ...             Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me225 reviews Pattie Boyd, Penny Junor Three Rivers Press, 2008 Interesting Book I thought that this book was very interesting. I especially found it interesting that even though she did not stay married to him, she, until the day he died, always loved George Harrison.             The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of Michelangelo112 reviews Irving Stone NAL Trade, 2004 A Very Good Read If you are planning a trip to Italy, read this book before you go. Everything Michelangelo will mean so much more to you. A big, fat, thick book, but worth every minute of your time. One of those books that you tend to read more slowly near the end, because you don't want it to end.             2008 Photographer's Market10 reviews Donna Poehner Writers Digest Books, 2007 Outstanding!!!! Great resource for any photographer who would desire to sell their work. Opened my eyes to a new avenue of income potential. Nice layout that makes since to the reader.             Ansel Adams: 400 Photographs19 reviews Ansel Adams Ansel Adams, 2007 400 Photographs of Ansel Adams work This is an excellent representation of Adams work! What sold me was the quality of the photo reproductions. I have several books that display his photography and this one does the best job of showing the details that Adams wanted to show.             The Photographer's Eye9 reviews John Szarkowski The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2007 In the blink of an eye! this is a fascinating work with imaginative comments and works by some of the world's finest photographers.             Poolside with Slim Aarons5 reviews Abrams Books, 2007 pools full of gold Poolside is a great collection. I am an enormous Aarons fan and have his two other currently in-print books. Poolside shows some of the once great, but now little known members of an international society which is now all but gone. Doinnes, gold-diggers, and scions comingle in glamorous pools wearing Cartier watches, gold bracelets, and the classic '70s look, the gold chain softly nestled in a ...             The HDRI Handbook: High Dynamic Range Imaging for Photographers and CG Artists +DVD24 reviews Christian Bloch Rocky Nook, 2007 Informative, even for seasoned practitioners The principle was so obvious to me, and yet as soon I finished the study of this book, I realized just how limited my prior knowledge was. Apparently I did not knew about existing image standards, tools and about a fundamental importance of HDR (high dynamic range) imaging for digital photography as a superior way of preserving images. Foreword is by one of the top gurus in the discipline and ...             The Shadow Catcher: A Novel15 reviews Marianne Wiggins Simon & Schuster, 2007 A Deep, Multi-Layered, Introspective Literary Masterpiece This story weaves the past (1850-1950) and the present (post 9-11) where Wiggins, the author and also the narrator, tells the story of the legendary (but complicated) life of photographer Edward Curtis (and his family) along with her own introspective and retrospective look at her father's life. Both men were in search...were on the run...were absent and disappearing fathers...who left a trail ...             Kirby: King of Comics29 reviews Mark Evanier Abrams, 2008 Why Kirby will always be King of Comics..... This book is the ultimate autobiography on Jack Kirby. In this volume we get more details on his struggles as an artist, especially those at Marvel. I still hold the opinion without Jack Kirby there would be no Marvel Comics. The universes that he built are still in use today and will be as long as there is a Marvel. Author Mark Evanier took what could have been a 1000 page book and condensed ...             Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Photographers: A Professional Image Editor's Guide to the Creative use of Photoshop ...45 reviews Martin Evening Focal Press, 2007 Great Photographer's Photoshop Book This is one of my favorite Photoshop CS3 books; I have quite a few. The quality of the book is excellent and I have learned so much from the lessons. The book comes with a very good DVD that makes this book an outstanding value. I have read some of the bad reviews. I think they expected a "dummies" or "beginners" type book. This is for a photographer who wants to get the most out of Adobe ...             The Creative Digital Darkroom24 reviews Katrin Eismann, Sean Duggan O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008 This will be a classic text for years to come This review is belated because as time permitted I wished to read this book in detail before commenting on it. I have now done so, and my overall perception is that The Creative Digital Darkroom (CDD) is destined to be a foundation text in many digital photography learning environments for years to come. While versions of Photoshop come and go, the fundamentals remain and get improved, so the ...              search for books american, americans, biographical, clapton, composition, creative, darkroom, disaster, ecstasy, elements, generation, greatest, handbook, harrison, lighting, lightroom, macintosh, michelangelo, photographer, photographers, photographs, photoshop, poolside, portrait, professional, sixties, soldiers, tonight, victory, wonderful books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
