Book Description

Ornamental grasses are at home in a mixed border or as striking individual specimens. They adapt to a wide range of climates and soils, need little or no maintenance, and resist most pests and diseases. They can anchor a slope or live happily in a container. They are also new to many gardeners, for whom this book will be both an introduction and a very practical guide, with its 165 full-color photos of landscape ideas and portraits of the best grasses for any site - wet or dry, sunny or shady.

4 out of 5 stars Fine resource...but check the condition........2006-01-29

This is an excellent presentation of everything one might care to know about ornamental grasses. But the first copy I received had a LOT of blank pages where text and illustrations should have been. Of course Amazon replaced the defective copy with no additional cost to me. Check your copy carefully upon receipt.

4 out of 5 stars Color Theory made easy.......2006-07-08

This is a good referance material for comprehensive study of colors. I find it very useful when I have to use complementary colors and choosing colors from different brands. The author did in deepth study on how to mixing different colors with various outcome. It helps me a great deal to choose the colors I want to use in my paintings.

1 out of 5 stars For Watercolor painters only ;(.......2006-07-07

Because watercolor colours name's aren't the same as acrylic and oil, it just doesn't make sense at all to me, and to say "made easy" I didn't think so, but i'm sure it's a great book for watercolorists!

4 out of 5 stars An indispensable book on color theory.......2006-05-26

Combined with Michael Wilcox's book, "Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green," this book will help make sense of the enormous number of colors available to the watercolor artist today. Many watercolor artists recommend specific colors just because they've been using them for years, or they confuse the issue by trying to talk about staining versus non-staining, opaque versus transparent, granulating versus non-granulating. Those are all important qualities to know about a paint, but even more basic to that is what color it is and how it will mix with other colors. If you understand the color theory presented in this book and in Michael Wilcox's book, then you will be quite capable of creating a wide range of quite satisfactory colors from just a few well-chosen basics. (Not that you have to stick with just a few basics.)

What I found particularly valuable in this book is that the ideas *work.* I am not so sure about his theory about *why* they work, but the fact is that they do. The information in this book both overlaps to some extent and is complementary to Mr. Wilcox's book, so I highly recommend that you get both books. Between the two, you will have enough grounding in sound, applicable color mixing procedures that you will be able to confidently mix any two colors you want and have a very good idea what you will get as a result.

5 out of 5 stars Great theory book!!!.......2005-09-01

I just finish the book. i am not a painter but this book gave the basic, and more, theory on colors and how to use them.
I study graphics and design in computers and today I can select colors and understand why i was selected them.
this book belong to all of those that want to know how to understand colors and how, for instanse, to make a deap design or how to manipulate your color in the artwork.
use this book!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent book.......2003-08-09

This book teaches correct color theory and gives a great deal of useful information. The scientific explanation of cyan, magent, and yellow being the primary colors is very convincing and makes a lot of sense. There's a lot of practical information in this book. I don't know if there are any better color theory books, but at least this book is a good one and not a waste of money like Quiller's book, "Color Choices."

Book Description

An expert "op art" designer explains what tessellated patterns are and how they are formed, relates the history of tessellated designs from their beginnings in Rome and shows how to create your own dazzling designs from common geometric shapes. 179 line drawings. 32 full-page plates. Four color illustrations on covers.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, but still very useful.......2007-01-03

The book introduces the basic types of tessellations and presents many examples. Note that the book title say "32 plates _to_ color" and not "32 color plates". The "look inside" feature shows already colored tessellations, but they are not in the book. It's not a problem, but don't expect to get color plates. This book is more geometric in its approach than "Principles of Pattern Design" by Proctor (isbn 0-486-26349-5) and may complement it nicely.

Book Description

Everyone has a color they adore, and another they can't stand -- nobody's impartial when it comes to color. It inspires us, soothes us, excites us. But few of us realize just how much influence color has on our bodies and minds: its electromagnetic vibrations can actually encourage feelings of love, accelerate healing, change our entire outlook on life. That's the power of color.

Anthony Gill and Cristina Bornstein are famous for bringing the energetic power of color to the main-stream. The founders of Tony&Tina Vibrational Remedies -- a cosmetics company committed to "the power of color, aroma, and positive thought" -- Tony and Tina are dedicated to understanding how vibra-tional remedies such as aromatherapy and color therapy can enhance our lives. Now they move be-yond their fabulous cosmetics to Tony&Tina Color Energy, a complete guide to balancing and energizing your body, mind, and spirit with color.

How can changing the colors around you change your life? Tony and Tina begin by telling us how color works, how energy works, and how the two come together to have a therapeutic effect. You'll learn about the body's seven energy centers, or chakras, and how each has long been associated with color as well as with specific concerns such as love, self-expression, and spirituality. You'll learn that when the body is deficient in certain energy waves or colors, it responds both physically and emotionally. Tony and Tina offer a simple diagnostic test that reveals exactly which color you need, and ten simple exercises to help you absorb the right color energy.

The second half of the book is full of practical applications, showing how to use color energy in your home, wardrobe, and makeup. You'll learn how color can actually cure insomnia, increase willpower, aid communication, relieve pain, encourage romance, promote success at work, and help us all create the reality we desire. Throughout the book are stories of color readings with clients, and personal anecdotes about Tony and Tina's own experiences living and learning about color.

A blend of ancient wisdom, scientific findings, personal stories, and inspirational coaching, Tony&Tina Color Energy will engage you, delight you, enlighten you, and offer you a path to renewal.

5 out of 5 stars beings of love and light.......2006-05-24

as part of the former tony&tina vibrational remedies family (NW Account Coordinator), this book was assigned reading. what blew me away was how it changed my life in such amazingly positive ways. though we were part the cosmetic industry, we were taught to spread positivity, even giving away crystals as gifts with purchase! anthony and cristina remained true to the ideas and values that they used to create their business, those which are outlined in this book. it wasn't just something we said, we really believed in it. my personal experiences with the two of them made me want to strive to be a better person and evolve spiritually, which i have. to me, anthony isn't arrogant as it says in the yin yang review below, but a very funny brit. take it with a grain of salt - he's a humorous and charming guy. i love that his (and cristina's) personality comes through in the pages. i continue to give this book as a gift and will always treasure the copy they signed for me. it's a fun, informative read that is easy to understand. their philosophies make so much sense and the origins of these beliefs are detailed and interesting without being dry. i love all the pictures - sometimes i get an emotional lift just thumbing through and glancing at them. guys, your "prue" will never forget what you did for her!

5 out of 5 stars Refreshing and informative book.......2004-12-03

I've kept this book by my bedside for about a month now. I got it because i was so curious about why i chose certain colors to wear when i was in different moods, and why i never bought any clothes in the color yellow when i went out shopping. This book is great for if your interested in color therapy, wanting to paint your house, or just improve your mood for the moment.

5 out of 5 stars So Out There it is In........2003-09-16

I love this book. It is so far out there--in imagination, concept, practical application--that I believe it is full of great servings of truth. If it's just out there--so what? It's fun and harmless. But we all know that color can affect the way we feel, so this book applies that knowledge to the colors we wear, see, live in and tells us how to use color to strengthen and heal ourselves. What if Tony and Tina are right? We would miss a great energy source to ignore their philosophy. I am going to start wearing a blue scarf around my throat immediately, to strengthen my throat chakra and to improve my communication skills.

3 out of 5 stars yin and yang.......2002-06-16

the nice thing about the book is that it has a lot of interesting information and much of it is full of positive vibes, baby. Which is a nice thing. much of the information about color is very interesting as well. that's the up side of the book. the down side of the book is that there's a bit of that groovier than thou-ness going on. on one hand the book claims to be about healing and love and on the other hand it kisses up to some of the very things in our society that keep many people, women especially, quite sick-- such as the fashion and beauty biz machine and all the images it plays into (these glam industries, which tony and tina have gotten in bed with, breed anorexia and self-image disorders). Another big yuck is the over the top ego- tripping of tony, which can be extremely off putting. the arrogance and attitude that comes through via his ramblings shows that he is on a delusion trip in his head-- believing himself to be a new age god (and by the way, how can you be into healing when you're a heavy smoker and drinker? )
