I remember seeing this book at the doctors office when I was 7 years old when my mom was pregnant with my brother at the time. she did not want me to look at the book (I guess she didnt want me to ask her questions). I saw this book and remembered the cover and decided that I wanted to own it. The pictures are outstanding and I find myself constantly going to look at the different stages as I am ...             Afghanistan: Soviet Vietnam52 reviews Vladislav Tamarov, Naomi Marcus Mercury House, 1992 A memoir you will NEVER forget! Here is a riveting memoir by Vladislav Tamarov. In 1984 men were drafted into the Soviet Army at the age of eighteen. There was no choice. Unless you were in college or disabled, you served. Many men broke their legs to avoid serving. Others, the more wealthy, bribed their way out. Vlad was in college two years when the law changed and he was off to boot camp. Training the men needed, they never ...             The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon51 reviews Dan Eldon Chronicle Books, 1997 Truly Profound I bought this book upon it's release in 1997. I can remember allowing the contents of this memoir to captivate me for hours on end. I lent my copy to a friend shortly thereafter and subsequently forgot about it. I recently ordered a replacement and I must say, this book is even more compelling than I ever remembered. Dan Eldon was a profound visionary, an articulate statesman and a devoted ...             The Betterphoto Guide to Digital Photography (Amphoto Guide Series)60 reviews Jim Miotke Amphoto Books, 2005 An Excellent Basic Text I am an advanced amature who holds a degree in photography and I was looking for a book to use as a basic text for an introduction to photography class that I wanted to teach.

It is a course that takes the reader step by step via all of the program's features and links them together in order to make them useful. This book is worth it's price!             Material World: A Global Family Portrait51 reviews Peter Menzel, Charles C. Mann Sierra Club Books, 1994 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 ...             Photoshop Masking & Compositing (VOICES)73 reviews Katrin Eismann New Riders Press, 2004 Katrin Eismann is the best! The cost of any book by Katrin Eismann is returned to the reader in value many, many times over. This book is everything the photoshop user needs to know about the sometimes daunting, but now made easy by Katrin, masking and compositing images. Now you can make those tough cut-outs of thin strands of hair against tough backgrounds that you used to run away from before. Katrin is one of the ...             Light: Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting83 reviews Fil Hunter, Paul Fuqua Focal Press, 1997 Wonderful book on lighting! Lighting is what photography ("light writing", in Greek) is all about, right? If you haven't mastered lighting, you're not taking photographs; you're making snapshots. This book is a masterful guide to light in all its forms and uses. Read it to learn what you can really do with your camera. I recommend it highly.             The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss60 reviews Claire Nouvian University Of Chicago Press, 2007 An Exceptional Book The production quality of this book was among the best I have seen. The photography was amazing, but the most intriguing aspect of this book was "how were these photographs taken?" If you are interested in life in the abyss this is a book you must buy.             The Digital Photography Book, Volume 287 reviews Scott Kelby Peachpit Press, 2008 One of the Best Photography Books on the Market Excellent book with excellent tips.

A must read.             Everest : Mountain Without Mercy50 reviews Broughton Coburn National Geographic, 1997 Mt Everest: spectacular photography I bought this book for the photography alone: this is as close as I am ever likely to get to the Himalayas. The photographs are spectacular, and I can see why so many people are challenged to want to make the journey to Base Camp if not further. Appearances can be deceptive: beautiful colour photographs portray a seemingly benevolent picture of Everest which is quite at odds with reality. ...             Absolut Book.: The Absolut Vodka Advertising Story40 reviews Richard W. Lewis Journey Editions, 1996 WOW!! This is a wonderful, informative, and beautiful book. This book is about the Absolut Vodka advertising campaign. How it began, and what it is about. There are many beautiful, and breath taking images which makes you see the entire light of the campaign which looks so simple from the outside. Now, you get the inside looks and it isn't simple at all but an amazing experience.

We have a 4 1/2 year old daughter obsessed with the Star Wars girls (Shaak Ti in particular) and this is good because it tells all about the different charachters, places, vehicles and robots of the movie in easy to understand, yet complete language. Very good for the little Star Wars fan or anyone who would like to go a little deeper, but not THAT deep.             Spirit Horses40 reviews New World Library, 2005 mistical and inspiring The photo book Spirit Horses is an must for every horse lover. The photo's are incredible and create or catch a mistical atmosphere as I have seldom seen. The captions are inspiring. Not a book to read but one to pick up once a week for half an hour meditation. Highly recommended             Blood Rites (The Dresden Files, Book 6)50 reviews Jim Butcher Roc, 2004 Ritual Death Magic Blood Rites (2004) is the sixth urban fantasy novel in the Harry Dresden series, following Death Masks. In the previous volume, John Marcone grabbed the Shroud from Nicodemus and jumped off the train into the river. Michael Carpenter attacked Nicodemus and was overwhelming him, but then Nicodemus pulled a gun and shot Michael several times through his breastplate. Harry temporarily overcame ...             Jock Sturges45 reviews Distributed Art Pub Inc (Dap), 1996 People cared for beautifully. Gerry Badger, in a listing of 250 key photographers, refers to Jock Sturges as the leading photographer of the "natural" nude (p. 170, Collecting Photography, Mitchell Beazley). This is fine, as far as it goes, but is too limited an introduction to Mr. Sturges's work. Mr. Sturges's photography is not limited to nudes. Neither can his subject matter be properly described as the nude or the ...             Universe45 reviews Robert Dinwiddie, Philip Eales, ... DK ADULT, 2005 The Best Visually intoxicating! You can learn the secrets of the universe in this one volume. I have numerous DK published books all of which are excellent. However, this is the paragon that all the other books are judged by. Simply, it is the best book that they have ever published. It should be the standard text book for astronomy classes!             Shelter Dogs38 reviews Traer Scott Merrell, 2006 Be prepared to cry... This book gives us details on shelter dogs, who the author Traer Scott, has met in her travels. So touching, uplifting and heartbreaking, especially when we learn so much about them and are told at the end which dogs lived and were adopted...and which ones were not (sniffle)...If this book doesn't convince you to adopt from an animal shelter, then I don't know what will! A portion of the proceeds ...             Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America45 reviews Jon Lewis, Leon F. Litwack, ... Twin Palms Publishers, 2000 Haunting and dispicable It's not a pretty job, but someone had to make this book. This history, though despicable, should not be hidden any more than the Jewish Holocaust should be. Germans need(ed) to face their history and as a white person I can say American whites need to do so too.              search for books advertising, afghanistan, america, amphoto, betterphoto, compositing, creatures, destination, dictionary, elements, everest, extraordinary, introduction, journals, journey, lighting, lynching, material, mountain, phantom, photographers, photographic, photography, photoshop, portrait, sanctuary, shelter, sturges, universe, without books:    Do you want to see something weird? stop it! learn more about this Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
