The American Express Travel Guide of Amsterdam (1992), written by Derek Blythe, has been re-written by Carol Winkelman and re-published as Travel&Leisure: Amsterdam (1997). Travel&Leisure magazine, in conjunction with Macmillan Travel, designed this new version of the book for a larger audience that includes young travelers, budget travelers, babyboomer travelers, discriminating travelers, and business travelers. The new book is a combination of traditional and offbeat travel guide, helping the reader find his/her way to hotels, restaurants, museums, and historical sites while also taking him/her "inside" Amsterdam to experience its cafe culture, lively arts scene, and famous nightlife. The new book, like The American Express Guide, includes an excursion to Rotterdam that leads the reader from the historic to the ultramodern.

Originally published in 1887 as an article in Century Magazine, the author shares his observations of several visits with the Apache Indians.

This is the book I used to study my anatomy in 1972-73. I have looked for it since coming to live in the U.K. and have unfortunately been unsuccessful.

Ancestral Portraits is a retrospective of the life and art of McDonald, a Native artist, profiles one of Canada's premier First Nation artist, blending selected color images with a review of McDonald's peoples and influences. The many firstperson insights make for a fine examination of Canadian and Native arts.

First published in 1950, Weis improves with each new edition; they're now up to the 7th. "Bad" lines are excised completely each time, the lengthy text-notes are very useful, and extensive citations appear for almost every entry. There's hardly a noble family in Europe west of the Dnieper River that does not appear in this book. Dr. Weis died in 1966 and Walter Lee Sheppard, himself a renowned genealogist, undertook (successfully) to main-tain his high standards; the 4th and subsequent editions have been the result of his own editorial labors. A very inexpensive work, especially compared to many of the other titles on this subject; this one should be on every genealogist's bookshelf.

Collaboratively researched and written by historian Marvin Perry and Frederick M. Schweitzer (Director of the Manhattan College Holocaust Resource Center), Antisemitism: Myth And Hate From Antiquity To The Present is an extensive and informative survey and analysis of anti-Semitic myths that have been perpetrated for generations, and which range from Biblical times down to the twentieth century and into the present day. Antisemitism reveals how these lies, exaggerations, untruths, and cultural myths about Jewish people have been used for centuries to justify and fuel unspeakable brutality and genocidal murder against an entire race and faith. A scholarly study of hate-based, mind-twisting perversions and lies from the fabricated stories of Jews ritually sacrificing Christian children to modern-day Holocaust denials, Antisemitism should be found upon the Judaic Studies shelves of every college and community library in the country.

Father Copleston's book is an excellent introduction to the philosophy of St. Thomas. A man of great intellectual depth, Copleston's lucid style makes Aquinas good reading for both academic study and personal philosophical/spiritual enjoyment.

I have read (and own) several art marketing books and this is by far the best one yet. It is very complete in every aspect of art marketing. The table of contents alone it 7 pages long!!

Goodman starts out discussing the psychology of art collectors and how to get to understand them. This alone is worth the price of the book! Imagine knowing how to think like a buyer!! From there is covers how to promote the art, creating a marketing plan, how to design a gallery, pricing, ethics, contracts hiring and training gallery employees etc.

The only problem- if you want to call it that- is that it reads like a text book an takes a little time going through, but the reading is easy, unlike most text books.

This is a must have for gallery owners, artists, art reps and anyone interested in making a living in the arts.

This is by far the best book about sailing I have ever come across. It is witty - very witty! It is also full of excellent and very useful advice to tyro sailors.I have been sailing for over 20 years and I still roar with laughter when reminded of the vital importance of finding thje "garden shed, conspic", a piece of information found on many a chart, but which has fooled many generations of sailors.It is also excellent on the characterisation of sailing 'types' - they are all here.the cowqardly, the falsely brave, the idiot, the philanderer, etc. Heartily commended. Should never be out of print. GAP
