The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern

Customer Reviews:

Learn with your children.......2007-09-01

This book was purchased for my son for school, but I purchased two to refresh my memory. It is a wonderful book.

Art Education Student.......2007-08-16

I am preparing to take the Art education part of the GACE exam. Not only is ths book a must but all of my professors encourage us to study it. The color photos are perfect and you could not buy anything better.

Great summary.......2007-05-13

This book points out the specifics of different art movements in a brief and informative fashion. Don't expect in-depth analysis of specific works, but you will get a run-down of the important names and pieces from significant periods in Art History. This book helped me go from a 4 to a 5 in A.P. Art History practice tests. I highly recommend it for the price!

The Annotated Mona Lisa.......2007-05-07

Excellent book for AP Art History review. I have used it in my classroom for eight years with great results!

Not what I expected.......2007-03-16

The type is different all over the page and makes for hard reading. It is not cohesive and seems to be just bits and pieces. Quite disappointing - considering it was "recommended" when I purchased other books.

misleading title; glad I checked it out from the library before purchasing it........2007-06-04

The title is an absolute lie. There aren't even general sketches to look onto as templates! This book, chock full of details on how to become "inspired", may help if you need assistance focusing on what motivates you--but otherwise, it's not going to teach you at all about fashion illustration.

fashion drawing.......2007-03-22

This is a well done and well illustrated book,and can be used by novices in Fashion drawing,or by professionals.

Great Book.......2007-02-11

My daughter loves this book...she gets a lot of information and down to the basics. thank you

Excellent.......2007-01-10

Takes the beginner the next step. Gives good information on and basics on being a fashion designer. It is the book you keep in your library and go back to as a reference.

Focuses more on the Creativity and not the Technical.......2007-01-06

I gave this book four stars because it did what I wanted it to do.Granted I would've loved it even more if there were thorough instructions on figure drawing. The book only skims over the basics of drawing the fashion figure so if you need help with the more technical aspects don't start here.This book is great if your like me, someone who already knows how to draw the fashion figure but needs to find an edge, more ideas... It should be called the fashion illustration drawing course because it does focus more on turning someone into a better illustrator.

In my opinion buy the book.For the price you will learn some really creative and whimsical techniques.

Book Description

John Morton offers a uniquely concise and practical guide to getting up and running with the PIC Microcontroller. The PIC is one of the most popular of the microcontrollers that are transforming electronic project work and product design, and this book is the ideal introduction for students, teachers, technicians and electronics enthusiasts.

The step-by-step explanations and the useful projects make it ideal for student and pupil self-study: this is not just a reference book - you start work with the PIC microcontroller straight away.

The revised third edition focuses entirely on the re-programmable flash PIC microcontrollers such as the PIC16F54, PIC16F84 and the extraordinary 8-pin PIC12F508 and PIC12F675 devices.

* Demystifies the leading microcontroller for students, engineers an hobbyists
* Emphasis on putting the PIC to work, not theoretical microelectronics
* Simple programs and circuits introduce key features and commands through project work

The best beginners' book.......2007-01-18

This is the best book if you are just starting to use PIC technology. He doesn't make the mistake of using unexplained jargon, He also writes in a clear and direct style, which is the most important thing,

John Kirby

Nicely Done.......2007-01-11

One of the few technical books that make sense. Engineers that need a quick run through to get a leg up on assembler will find this very useful.

Must have for PIC starters.......2006-08-18

This books absolutely deserves 5 stars. It provides simple way to understand and program PIC Microchip MCUs. This book is not about fancy projects, it is basically textbook for starters and definately a must have. There is no copy/paste material and messy diagrams about PIC architecture. The author states that programming PICs is "moving numbers" and it cannot be said in a better way. You will have a through understanding of PIC programming. There are simple projects that explain theory in a practical way and PICs used are 16F54, 16F57 and 12F675 (inexpensive onces).

design simple circuits that are programmably controlled.......2006-03-16

Morton lets you easily get acquainted with microcontrollers and microprocessors. So that you can code in the assembly or machine language of an actual microprocessor and then see tangible results in some circuit.

Various simple circuits are described. The inevitable analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog. But others too. The book demystifies how to use what is basically a computer. At a level that involves very little theory. This may be a boon to some students who desire a hands-on approach.

Not current information.......2005-09-09

This book is relatively out of date. It deals mostly with the older PIC processors and techniques. The basic microcontroller data is there, but not in a clear format. I got it to help instruct a friend on microcontrollers, but I did not use it. Myke Predko's books are far superior,

Disappointingly scant content.......2002-10-09

I know I'm going to anger some of the folks who really believe in this book, but I was really disappointed with how slim and scant the educational content was. There are very many black and white illustrations of the students' work related to Itten's teachings. And his outlook is very pure and creative. I really enjoyed that aspect of this book, but expected more meat! I wanted to know more specifically about conflict. I wanted him to go deeper. As it is, he brings up a well ordered set of concepts, explains them clearly and then moves on. In my opinion this book is wildly overpriced. I probably would give it four stars had it only cost me between seven and fifteen dollars. At thirty and change it's not worth it.

lighting the creative spark in everyone.......2001-07-18

This book is not a step by step syllabus to follow blindly. Itten wrote this book to share the fundamental principles that he taught all his students (no matter how advanced) before allowing them to pursue higher classes and goals at his school.

The book is broken down into sections that (to anyone who's had art training) seem simple enough: chiaroscuro, form, color, rhythm, etc. but Itten teaches not so much the technical aspect of art as a new way of seeing the world, a way of creating from the whole body and mind, not just with a paintbrush (or computer graphics program).

The sections are all punctuated with many examples of student work that relate to the topic covered. Often, it is these examples that really drive his points home.

Just as Itten believed that everyone was capable of being creative and thought the basic course was valuable to all levels of art students and even teachers, this book is applicable for both those who are looking for an introduction into creating, and those who consider themselves expert artists already. I guarantee there will be at least one idea in the book to make you stop and ponder and suddenly challenge your way of thinking on the matter.

Itten is a god, bow down........2001-04-27

Itten made the world as we know it today. Without his guidence, none of the products you buy, art you look at, or anything else would be what it is today. If you are a designer or art monger, you owe it to yourself to read this book. It is a discription of his Basic Course (everyone had to take it...) at the Bauhaus in Weimar written by Itten himself.

Great concept, poorly edited.......2004-11-18

Ok, I saw this book and thought it would be great. For $50 I figured not a bad investment, get a finished product at the end. I encountered many, many issues in this book! Many of the tutorials were wrong, and they didn't seem to follow the previous steps. Tracks out of place, forgot to tell you to do one thing, mispelled words, etc. I emailed the publisher and they were very gracious, offered me either another product or a refund. I took the refund. It's too bad too, this book had potential. And, I see these same issues crop up in the Premiere Pro book by Baker as well. Maybe someone should offer them the "Editing Text for Dummies"!

Great book.......2004-04-16

It's interesting that people take the time to write reviews (and post them
twice) without taking a couple of minutes to look for solutions. I had
problems with some of the files in the book as well, and it was tracked down
to the fact that Premiere was preinstalled on my computer by the
manufacturer without having files installed that open all the file formats.

Did you bother looking on the author's Web site? If you did, you would find
a complete list of all the files in other formats you can download and use
if the ones on the CD don't work on your particular computer.

no your not crazy.......2004-03-17

the cd dosent work!!!!.I spent hours trying to do the first session but it just doesnt happen.The cd is useless you cant down load files,go vegas 4.0

Do not rely on the CD for the tutorial.......2004-03-17

Not only are the confidence builder files missing, but a number of the source files used in the tutorial are in mpeg format, which cannot be used as source files with MACs (unless you purchase Quicktime Pro which is an additional $29.99) or with Windows if you don't have a capture card that supports mpeg-2. (see the Adobe 6.5 help site at http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/29ad2.htm )
After going back and forth with technical support on the book for three weeks, they've determined I need a different capture card on my computer. I determined that the CD is useless! I have no idea why they would use source files that cannot be imported using Adobe Premiere 6.5 in a coursebook on learning Adobe Premiere 6.5. It was incredibly frustrating! If you do not wish to walk through the projects on the CD, I'm sure the book is useful, but if you actually want to go through the course, make sure you have Windows and a capture card that supports mpeg-2.

Baker's book is not for the novice........2003-06-09

If you're new to Premiere 6.5 I suggest getting Sam's Teach Yourself in 24 hours as it's much more complete and takes you by the hand from starting right into learning how to do DVD authoring and making the DVD on DVDitLE which comes with Premiere.

Donna Baker's book if full of pretty pics and I got it after getting some experience with .. even so I couldn't do the 'confidence builder' tutorial at the beginning of the book as the instructions were not clear enough. She also like A/B editing and tells you to set up Premiere 6.5 that way AFTER you've done the first tutorial project...and of course it's too late to make that change in setup. There is a workaround that, but Baker doesn't even tell you what it is!

I must admit that she has some interesting projects and hints and I did learn, but thank God I didn't start with this book or I would have given up months ago.

By the way I can't understand why Sam's book is the only one that covers ALL aspects of working with Premiere right to the final MPEG2 steps of doing DVD's...all the others leave the novice hanging up there in the air. Premiere is a difficult software and not very user friendly - be prepared for a long learning curve and a fast growing appreciation for all the time and work necessary in film editing.

Book Description

Have you ever seen a cookbook that mixes controversy into its recipes? Have you ever come across a book that combines gourmet dishes, artwork, and political and social commentary? Have you ever experienced a book, beginning with the suggestive and unique packaging it comes in, that contains cutting-edge creative, and provocative contents that simultaneously stimulate, insatiate and exacerbate? Can a single book raise questions, stir emotions, and make you thirst for food and knowledge? Art and Cook may just be this generation's breakthrough book and it's aptly labeled by its creators as being the leader of the Revolutionary Movement.

Don't believe the hype.......2006-12-15

I bought this book because of a rave review in the LA Times. It was intended as a gift but I would be too embarrassed to give it to anyone. Rarely have I seen a worse designed book. It looks like first generation web design blown up and printed between hard covers. The recipes themselves look interesting and the photos are cute but the prentious verbiage and overblown graphics gave me indigestion before I set foot in the kitchen.

extra ingredients sacrificed to page layout.......2006-03-03

If you want a cookbook that is so poorly edited that you will have multiple extra ingredients from the ingredient list that are not used in the recipe, then this is the book for you.

Entire paragraphs seem to have been cut out of the recipes for the sake of page layout.

What a piece of garbage. I have never been one to burn books, but this is a good candidate for the incinerator.

A fun and original book!.......2005-12-03

I was very impressed with this book. Art and Cook is a very original concept and a great conversation piece for your coffee table or as a gift. There are fun recipes and VERY fun design to compliment them. This was a great purchase. The package alone is worth the cost of the book!!

Very Recommended.

A stupid pretentious book, written by a stupid pretentious person, for stupid pretentious people - a complete rip-off........2005-11-27

Aside from the fact that the book was plagiarized by Allan Ben from unknowing photographers & designers who were swindled out of their ideas, designs, compensation, and credit - the book has no soul. There is no "running thread" or theme. Not one original thought. Not even worthy as a coffee table book. Don't embarrass yourself - you deserve better.

freakish and pretentious.......2004-06-04

I use the words freakish and pretentious to describe this book because not only is it filled with "the cloud" (frenetic repeated techno-graphics used so commonly in early 90's websites) it reeks of turtleneck sweaters and black berets. The graphic design and images are distracting, at times distasteful, and on occasion, enough that I want to slap the book shut and hold it with two fingers away from me at arm's length.

Some of the images scare me. Take a look at the front cover. You see the eyeball EYEing you from inside the egg? If you perhaps think that a cookbook is about how food should eat you, then maybe it's for you. Or if you want to create food and have a nice display to put next to it when you display it in a gallery, maybe this book is good choice.

Great Guide for Beginners and Pro's.......2006-11-03

This book covers from all the different box desgins that have been made and how you can create any type of box for you're home. Having it sound as good or better than a speaker box you would buy at an Audiophile store for $2,000 to $6,000 for a fraction of the price. It also gives you multiple web pages to explore about crossover calculators, box calculators and just other websites of other peoples creations and they show you how they built what they did. Partsexpress is one of the websites I did a lot of my purchasing through, they are fast and have a great selection of speaker's and components. They also have a do it yourself page with multiple projects from various people that have submitted their ideas and box designs. All of which you can create the exact same box as they did do to the fact that they give you all the blue prints, crossover design's and other good information. This book will help you understand so many speaker building techniques and the way's it all comes together in the end.
I reccomend this book to all that have a desire in building their own home theater system and reccomend you read many more books on the subject. The more you know the better you will be and the better it will all sound.

Speaker Building 201.......2006-06-16

This is a great book, however it is by RAY ALDEN and NOT J.B. HALL. Ray Alden has written a previous now out of print book, also quite good, but this one surpasses that one with many many diagrams and explanations about how a speaker works and how to build a really good one.
