The Art of Jewelry: Polymer Clay: Techniques, Projects, Inspiration (Lark Jewelry Book)

2006 y.
Publisher: Lark Books
Description: It is eye-opening how a substance used to make white plumbing pipe can be transformed with unusual techniques (and combinations) by skilled artisans. Under Aimone`s remarkable tutelage, polymer clay, called PVC here, becomes Italian millefiore beads, shiny abstract cuffs, intricate log-cabin quilt pins, and even calla lily-like earrings. Although other instructional polymer clay books exist, up to now all have focused on basic shapes and elemental design. The 14 selected artists do themselves proud by creating 33 items worthy of display and sale in any fine jewelry store. Instructions are almost complete, with enough visuals to follow--with the exception of a defined level of difficulty for each. And the pages upon pages of galleries showcase the beauties of a once-modest material. Barbara Jacobs [detailed...]

After dominating the scholastic chess world for ten years, Waitzkin expanded his horizons, taking on the martial art Tai Chi Chuan and ultimately earning the title of World Champion. How was he able to reach the pinnacle of two disciplines that on the surface seem so different? `I`ve come to realize that what I am best at is not Tai Chi, and it is not chess,` he says. `What I am best at is the art of learning.` In his riveting new book, The Art of Learning, Waitzkin tells his remarkable story of personal achievement and shares the principles of learning and performance that have propelled him to the top -- twice.

The Art of Living: …The Art of Medicine the Wit and Wisdom of Life and Medicinea Physician`s Perspective

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDuring my nearly 50 years in medicine (closer to 60 years if you count the many years I visited patients in the hospital or their home with my physician father), I slowly realized that we physicians are losing, or never had, good bedside manner like my father and my role models did. As a result, and for many other reasons, we have lost the trust of the public. Practicing medicine has become a contract rather than a covenant with the patient. Our professionalism is being eroded. This is a `how-to` book for young physicians who may not otherwise learn what the Art of Medicine is supposed to be from their role models. Many (most?) people have lost control in maintaining a balance in their lives, resulting in stress, huge debts and unhappiness. As a result, they cannot perform any job as well as their potential. We need to relearn the Art of Living. I can summarize why I wrote the book by saying, `I wish I had known all this when I was younger!` [detailed...]

The Art of Looking in Hitchcock`s Rear Window

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comReaders who agree with Stefan Sharff that `the voyeuristic drive is an unavoidable part of watching a film,` will find much food for thought in this book. Sharff contends that the hero of Rear Window , played by James Stewart, is himself a voyeur, and that through him Hitchcock replicates and satirizes the experience of movie watching itself. The author further argues that Hitchcock uses a cinematic `high vernacular` to convey his complex ideas. As he reveals the relationship between the film`s visual style and meaning, its form and its content, Sharff walks through it no fewer than three times. In the chapters that make up the heart of this book, he summarizes the movie`s plot, then comments on each of its shots in succession, and finally provides a sequential shot list for easy reference. The result is one of the most meticulous analyses of a single film available in print. It should hold a special interest for Hitchcock fans who own Rear Window on… [detailed...]
