Who would have thought?.......2006-02-25

I bought this book because I have just read the highly recommendable novel 'Journey to Eden' by Max Pucher. It is full of references to Freemasonry and I am astonished that so much of it seems to be true and not just creative invention. 'Morals and Dogma' is quite a surprise. I guess that most see Masonry as purely a charitable concept like me, but that is not all when you read what the founder of the Scottish Rite has to say in here. I wonder how much this is truly related to America's founders.

This book is interesting but not a great read, by the way.

Book Description

The latest volume in our popular Art Deco series, Deco Espana represents a rich and virtually unknown treasure of graphic design history, detailing the defining characteristics that distinguish the Mediterranean style Spanish Art Deco design from that of classic French Deco or streamlined American Deco design. From its appearance in the political posters of the Spanish Civil War to its use in advertising the post-war automobile and travel industries, and from its emergence in the packaging of Spanish wine and cosmetics to its brilliant use in the graphic posters of the Spanish theater, the Art Deco style puts on a lively show in Deco Espa–a. This book not only represents an important area of graphic design study, but signifies an entire era of Spanish cultural history.

Book Description

In the spring of 1974, Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army made world headlines when he emerged from the Philippine jungle after a thirty-year ordeal. Hunted in turn by American troops, the Philippine police, hostile islanders, and successive Japanese search parties, Onoda had skillfully outmaneuvered all his pursuers, convinced that World War II was still being fought and that one day his fellow soldiers would return victorious. This account of those years is an epic tale of the will to survive that offers a rare glimpse of man's invincible spirit, resourcefulness, and ingenuity. A hero to his people, Onoda wrote down his experiences soon after his return to civilization. This book was translated into English the following year and has enjoyed an approving audience ever since.

Customer Reviews:

A MAN REFUSING TO BELIEVE THE OBVIOUS BECAUSE HE LOVES TO KILL TOO MUCH.......2007-10-02

I can't believe that this monster still generates interest and fascination to this day. What Onoda doesn't include in his writings but which has been revealed in personal stories and interviews is that as early as 1950 he was fully aware that the war was over but loved killing too much. He has revealed that since the war was over civilians would be less wary and would become easy targets. And indeed, they were. He would sneak into a village at night and cut the throats of sleeping children.

He also would take pot shots of mothers hanging their clothes on clothes lines or feeding their chickens.

He calls himself the ultimate soldier and yet he killed the defenseless over and over. And when he finally tired of having to kill his own food (more often than not he would steal it from the mouths of needy children) he went home to a hero's applause. Why Japan would accept him and laud his "heroic" efforts instead of turning him over to Phillipine authorities as a not only a war criminal but more accurately a serial killer is simply unexplainable.

This clearly demonstrates Japan's unwillingness to accept their responsibility for atrocities during the war, WHICH THEY STARTED with the Rape of Nanking in 1931 in which unborn children were ripped from the wombs of their mothers by the "bold and brave" soldiers of Japan. It is no wonder then that an inhuman cowardly monster like Hiroo Onoda would be the poster child of heroism for the Japanese.

We must wonder why we think such an individual merits such attention.

Somewhat skeptical.......2007-05-31

It was not mentioned in the book, that Mr. Onada was forgiven for 29 Filipino deaths caused by him. It is difficult for me to beleve he could have been so naive and ignorant.

and 1/2 stars... Dedicated soldier.......2006-07-12

Growing up I had heard the incredible stories of Japanese soldiers popping up from the jungles years & decades after the war was over. It always blew me away that someone could continue on fighting for so long after the war had ended. I could see someone doing it for 1 or 2 years because they were usually on isolated islands. No one (as far as we Know) was fighting the war for longer than Hiroo Onada.

The only thing was though Onada didn't really need to fight for longer than the one or two years after 1945 when the war ended - that is if his mind wasn't blocking out all the information that was showing him the war was over. No matter what happened he was too suspicious that it was a trap by the American's or Filipinos. I found the story amazing but after a while one has to wonder if he will ever believe anything.

Countless times the island was blanketed with notes dropped from planes that said the war was over & Japan had surrendered. One of the soldiers he lived with walked away from Onada & his friends in 1949 (after 5 years living with Onada). He walked to freedom & then came back & tried to convince the last 3 soldiers (Onada, Shimada & Kozuka) to give up - that the war was over, they were wasting their time. They dropped notes with the 3 soldiers names on it, pictures of Onada's family members...& walked around the island with bullhorns yelling that the war was over. Onada, Shimada & Kozuka heard this from their friend & saw the notes but were convinced that their friend was captured by the enemy & it was all a trap.

Over the years his brother came & yelled on speakers to get Onada to surrender, Onada got within 150 yards of his brother & recognized him & his voice but still thought it was a trap.

Another time his sister did the same thing - he still thought something was fishy & refused to fall for the trap. People always left old newspapers around - from around the world , but mostly from the Philipines & Japan. Sometimes the stacks of newspapers were several feet high. They would read them all, right down to the "want ads". They still twisted things in their minds that the Americans had edited out all these papers & taken out the parts about the war - Onada thought the Americans went to all this trouble just to trick these couple of people on some isolated island.

For about 15 years they had access to a transistor radio & they would listen to stations all over the world - mostly Japanese but others such as the BBC. Still they couldn't wrap their heads around it that things were as they were being told from ex-soldier friends & family members. Finally after 30 years somehow Onada saw the light.

The survival part of the book is pretty interesting & there is no doubt his 30 years of living out in the elements & off the land is one of the greatest survival stories in our lifetime.

He was a smart guy & had a brilliant mind for details but his mind prevented him from seeing that the war was over 29 years before he finally walked out of the jungle.

Good read, amazing story of survival and determination........2005-04-13

I had heard stories of Japanese soldiers who had held out after the war on various islands in the pacific, so this book was exactly what I had been looking for. The idea that anyone could survive in the jungle off the land for 30 years is simply amazing. To Onoda it must of been like stepping into a time machine when he emerged from the jungle in 74. He missed the discovery of so many inventions that we take for granted, television, jet planes, computers and many more, I bet it was all very overwhelming to him. This book goes into the mind of one Japanese soldier and gives a very convincing explanation of how and why they had fought so hard and with so much tenacity and determination. There are a few typos in the book and it is not written in the best English but these are the accounts in Ononda's own words translated into English. Check this book out it is hard to put down once you start reading it.

A look at a truly dedicated man.......2005-01-31

Lt. Hiroo Onoda spent 29 years on a Phillipine island fighting World War 2. When he was 22 he arrived on Lubang, fresh out of officer training, and reported in to an Imperial Japanese Army base to assume his duties as a junior intelligence officer. Shortly thereafter the steamroller of the US Navy, Army, and Marine Corps came rolling through and and Lt. Onoda retreated to the surrounding jungles of Lubang along with 3 other soldiars when his army base was decimated and captured. Lt. Onoda had recieved orders to continue the fight, even if it meant assuming the role of a guerilla fighter until he was formally relieved by a ranking officer.

I won't ruin the story for you but I'd like to interject what I took from this book. One observation is that the ancient traditions and teachings of the Samurai (Bushido) were very much a motivational factor in the japanese military forces during the second world war. My second observation is that the devotion to duty and loyalty to an ideal can be carried further than many in the world of today could even think was possibile.

This is a must read book. I'd suggest that you familiarise yourself with the codes of Bushido first of all (Hagakure is a good place to start), so that you can better understand the mind set of Lt. Onoda. His descisions are largely based upon his upbringing and teachings and, (in my opinion) sadly, are somewhat foreign to the modern person. Wihout a small amount of familiarity with Bushido, or a knowledge of the ways of the Samurai, you might just view this story as a tale of s silly and ignorant man. I assure you that Hiroo Onoda was/is neither.

Buy it, read it, make an effort to understand, you'll be entertained and you might just take away a valuable lesson. This story is one you will always remember.

Book Description

AMERICA STRIKES BACK!

After Pearl Harbor, America seemed to have lost the war before it had begun. Allied forces were being beaten across the Pacific by the Japanese military juggernaut, and morale was at the breaking point. America desperately needed to strike back at the enemy. For this, a corps of heroic volunteer fliers led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle began training to attack the very heart of the Japanese Empire -- Tokyo.

To succeed, the "Tokyo Raiders" would have to launch sixteen fully loaded B-25 twin-engine medium bombers off the deck of the aircraft carrier Hornet -- something never done before -- and land at airfields in China. Through courage and luck, the raid itself went flawlessly. But bad weather, lack of fuel, and darkness worked against many of the pilots -- and for many, escaping China proved even more perilous than the mission....

This gripping eyewitness account -- hailed as "the most stirring story of individual heroism that [the war] has so far produced" (The New York Times) -- is one of the most daring missions in military aviation history: the legendary Doolittle Raid.

INCLUDES HISTORIC PHOTOS - SOME NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED

Customer Reviews:

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.......2007-05-20

Well told story of the Doolittle raid told by one of the pilots on the raid. The story is about the pre-raid, the raid itself, and the aftermath, which tells about the injuries sustained by Capt. Lawson and his crew and the help they received from missionaires and the Chinese in escaping capture by the Japanese. He also relates the stories of some of the other crews on the raid.

A Classic Rememberance of World War II.......2007-02-14

I first read this book so many years ago that I can't remember, but I think it was about when I was in the eighth grade, say about 1955. I remember the book, and I remember the Van Johnson movie. The scene where the Chinese peasant brings Van Johnson the pair of slippers only to see that he has lost one leg stays with me even now. ==This is a classic book. It was written by one of the pilots on the Doolittle raid over Japan. In fact it was the character played by Van Johnson, Lt. Ted W. Lawson, that wrote this book.

This book, these men as much as any other that I can think of illustrates exactly what Tom Brokaw had in mind when he referred to them as the 'greatest generation.' Especially so when you talk to one of them and they invariably tell you they were not a hero. Heros were the ones who didn't come back. Heros were the other guys. I was just doing my job. Heros they were all.

Read this book. Read it again if you read it years ago. Give a copy to that youngster in your family or church that you think will appreciate it.

Tense True War Tale.......2007-01-05

This is a tense account of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo in the spring of 1942. World War II pilot Ted Lawson describes the pre-raid preparation, taking off from the aircraft carrier Hornet, attacking Tokyo, and crash landing his B-25 bomber in Japanese-occupied China. As many know, the B-25's took off farther out to sea than planned after the Hornet was spotted while approaching Japan. With too little fuel to reach the safety of Chinese lines, the crews bailed out or crash land in Japanese-occupied China. The surviving airmen then tried to avoid Japanese army patrols and find help from friendly Chinese. Most flyers did so despite the language barrier and survived. But Lawson was injured in the crash-landing, and when infection set in his leg was amputated in a field hospital. Lawson survived, returned to the USA, and wrote this book in a matter of days in 1943. The story is often gripping but loses a bit of steam later on - thus just four stars.

I read this book as a youngster for its thrill value without fully realizing that war is mostly tragedy rather than adventure. The book became a 1944 film starring Van Johnson, Robert Walker and Robert Mitchum. As for Lawson, he returned with his wife to California where he eventually ran a machine shop and he lived until 1992.

An excellent and easy read.......2007-01-03

It a first person account of the Doolittle raid over Tokyo in 1942, written by one of the B-25 pilots from the raid. It covers his story from flight school all the way through his eventual return to the United States. Its an amazing story, especially the crews crash in China and the 5 month ordeal of evading the Japanese. It is a great book for younger readers with its fast pace and informaly written style.

One of the best WWII books!.......2006-03-22

I'd seen the film adaptation of this book many times, and when I finally read the book awhile back, I could not believe how good it was. It was if I could remember everything as it had happened in the film. If you've seen the film, read the book, and if you haven't, read the book first, then see the film.

It tells the famous story of Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, as seen through the eyes of Captain Ted Lawson, one of the pilots. We learn about Lawson, his crew, and his plane, affectionately known as "The Ruptured Duck." We read of the preparations for the raid, and then the raid itself. Lawson and his men crash in China, and their harrowing journey to safety, and ultimately back to the USA is told in a gripping style, making you feel as if you were there when it happened.

One of the best WWII books I've ever read, and I've read a lot of them!

Book Description

Music videos have radically changed the way we look at the world. Instantly accessible on a global scale, these revolutionary videos have reflected and influenced popular culture, fashion, sports, advertising, art, cinema, television, and new media-as well as music itself.

Thirty Frames Per Second is the first book to showcase the artistic vision of the music video director. What began two decades ago as little more than a marketing tool showing a band's stage performance has now become a director's medium of expression and experimentation. Spike Jonze, Peter Care, Kevin Kerslake, Mark Romanek, and David Fincher are among the 55 top directors featured-many of whom have come from backgrounds in film, advertising, photography, fine art, or architecture, and some of whom have gone on to make feature films. Nearly 400 stills, culled from the most compelling and influential videos, make this visually stimulating survey of the genre a powerful testament to a brashly innovative contemporary art form.

STEVE REISS is a freelance producer in both production and post-production of music videos, commercials, television, new media, and art books. He has worked on projects with artists such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, U2, and David Bowie, and was producer on the Breeders' "Cannonball" video for Spike Jonze, among others. He lives in Venice, California.

NEIL FEINEMAN has covered the music and video scene for 20 years for publications such as L.A. Weekly, The Face, and the Los Angeles Times. Founding editor of the award-winning magazines RayGun, Beach Culture, and Gravity, he has written several books on popular culture and is currently editor-in-chief of the new music magazine Revolution. He lives in San Francisco.

JEFF AYEROFF, formerly creative director at A&M Records and Warner Brothers Records, started Virgin Records America in 1987. He is currently in development on a new media launch.

Thirty Frames Per Second: The Visionary Art of the Music Video.......2005-08-03

Not exactly what I was thinking. The title is misleading, the text is unreadable. The idea is good but who care to see picture of actual video. It would have be nice to have video made of this book. Waste of time try to read it.

Worth a Double Review.......2003-11-16

I previously wrote a pretty harsh review of this book after purchasing it last year. In recent times my opinion of it has changed. The book captures TONS of good thoughts , and has excellent still photos. Its very useful, once you get past the fact that there are no video samples included with the book. I would dare to say that if it were to include such video clips on DVD or multimedia CD, it would become an EXCELLENT learning/reference tool for young directors (etc) searching to master their artform.

If only i could edit this review to say 4 1/2 stars!

< please see my old review below>

'Coffee Table Book - More form than function'

Maybe i am being harsh, but the book seems like an 'artbook' with no tangible vision of how its REALLY supposed to bring knowledge to its readers.
Its the prettiest book in the box of ten that i bought last week on Amazon, but its content is suited either for the person with just a passing interest in music videos (like a sunday afternoon coffee guest - "Will she glance at the cosmopolitan or read the Music Video book?" or someone else who has lots time and no specific interest in music videos).

I hardly feel like i am IN the 'minds' of these directors, truly learning from the way they THINK, or other aspects of thier creative story. The book is more like a compilation of 'behind the scenes' glances on 'E' or VH1.

Perhaps including a CD inside the book, with medium resolution copies of all the videos would help a bit. The visual reference would turn each conversation with the directors into a tangible learning experience that anyone with a PC could relate to.

The worst part for me is that most of these videos are of a genre that i dont listen to. I am primarily R&B, Hip-hop, Reggae (Dancehall) by blood and by love. The only people in this book who i listen to are Lauryn Hill and Seal.

I am really disappointed by this book.

Like i said, the book seems like an 'artbook' with no tangible vision of how its REALLY supposed to bring knowledge to its Audience. I am left to wonder who was the target audience?

Beautiful Design by Tolleson out of San Francisco. They do wonderful graphic design work. Check out their book "Wash, Soak, Rinse, Spin: Tolleson Design" for more of their style work.

A Must for the "live" reporter!.......2003-08-16

In all my years in the profession and as an educator, I have found few books as useful and relevant as this one. Mr. Arya is among the top live reporters in the country. He has earned some of the top honors in all of journalism. If you want to learn how to report live, buy it. If you want to get better at live, buy it. There is no other book like it! It is an easy read that hits every nail right on the head.

Great Resource.......2000-03-19

This is a great resource for aspiring reporters and for those who have been in the business for just a couplle of years. Mr. Arya presents a straight forward - honest look at what it takes to be a good live reporter in a very difficult field. The tips are very valuable to students and those just starting out in this field. They are also good to those who are working in live television but who are uncomfortable with the live presentation. This is a nice resource for all live reporters - a reminder of what it takes to make it work successfully.

Excellent Book Written by a Real Trauma Surgeon.......1999-11-25

I enjoyed this book tremendously. The research and realism was amazing. I was fortunate to see the author lecture on the subject in Indiana. Dressed in the full civil war soldier uniform I thought the author to be an enthusiastic Civil War Buff. I was amazed to find out that the author was a modern day trauma surgeon whose interest in the civil war goes beyond the superficial, dry information one reads in text. His interest draws on real life experiences with bullet wounds and infections that he has treated in modern times.

Excellent novel written by one who should know........1999-01-09

An excellent novel of a surgeon who signs up to serve in the Union army during the Civil War. Written by a modern surgeon, Kernek obviously had researched his predecessors well. It might be a bit detailed for the squeamish, but for those who want a good "feel" for what a surgeon went through during the Civil War, I highly recommend it. It is a relatively short read, and the story line carries one right on through. This book belongs in every Civil War buff's collection, because it tells about an often overlooked part of the war and tells it very well. At this price, one can't afford not to buy it!
