John Day - or 'Cloudman' as he is known to thousands of Americans,
both through his pioneering website and his visits to schools around
the country - is truly the doyen of international cloud scholars.
This book is the culmination of decades of research and reading,
and is full of all manner of wit and wisdom concerning clouds, 'the
patron goddesses of idle men', as the dramatist Aristophanes described
them. The photographs, many of them taken by Day himself, are outstanding,
and do much to bring the book to glorious life, showing how the
sky really is an enormous free outdoor cinema screen. What a lovely
book. |

| There are lots of big shiny books
out there that tell you all about digital photography and while
many of these are great books, they can be a little intimidating
too.
Scott Kelby, author of many of the better photography boooks out
there has now come up with the antidote. The Digital Photography
Book is a mere 200 odd pages and is just slightly bigger than A5
in size yet contains a whole lot of useful information that will
almost certainly improve anyone's photography.
Each page is a self-contained tip or concept, often with an inspiring
image for illustration. The text is rarely more than a paragraph
or two yet manages to get important and useful stuff covered concisely
and clearly... |

| More than 100 vivid, graphic comparison
pictures illustrate every point in this classic and can help any photographer
maximize the creative impact of his or her exposure decisions. Peterson
stresses the importance of metering the subject for a starting exposure
and then explains how to use various exposure meters and different
kinds of lighting. The book contains lessons on each element of the
triangle and how it relates to the other two in terms of depth of
field, freezing and blurring action, and shooting in low light or
at night... |

For anyone who has decided that
they can not draw at all this is the book for you. It is a pratical
book. To start off all you need is a pencil and a rubber.This will
get you through the first 7 exercises and if you are like me get
you very enthusiastic. The book starts with 3 exercises to show
your starting ability and then has 37 more exercises using the techniques
given. The sketches are done in the book. The book also includes
a pullout viewfinder tool. Just brilliant. |

| This is an intelligent, thoughtful
book by one of the most articulate commentators on modern architecture
and building design. For many UK TV viewers, Kevin McCloud's regular
Grand Designs programmes are compelling viewing, illustrating both
the practical issues that self-builders and developers face, as
well as challenging the motivations that inspire people to create
their own homes. This is far from just a "book of the series".
It's a guide to building your own home - equally of value for extenders,
developers or those thinking about how to improve the design of
the space they live in - written in three sections - thinking, dreaming
and doing... |

| Leah Bendavid-Val - Since the 10.5 million images in National Geographic's
possession won't fit in a book, the 250 in this moderately glossy,
minimally costly collection will do nicely. Through the Lens is
a stunning collection of photos judiciously apportioned to represent
the regions of the earth, the sea and outer space; humans and nature;
and even the history of the medium--a few historic black and whites
contrast dramatically with the eye-popping modern colour shots that
dominate the book.. |

| This is a new edition of the
classic visual reference to the principles of architecture. For
more than 30 years, the beautifully illustrated "Architecture:
Form, Space & Order" has been the classic introduction
to the basic vocabulary of architectural design. This Third Edition
now includes a companion CD-ROM featuring interactive digital models
created by Professor Ching, along with new considerations of environmental
factors, building codes, and contemporary examples of form, space,
and order. |

'Featuring photographs of some of the most iconic designs of that
age, the book offers an insight into a moment and style, although
long since passed, is now more in evidence than ever thanks to the
retrospective trends on the high street'
Elle Decoration, 2007
'A gorgeous book' |

| This book is a must have for
any art student or anybody who has the slightest interest in art.
It is easy to cross reference artists, it provides brief yet concise
information upon the artist, their characteristic style, and to
top it of a full colour image of a characteristic / typical piece
of the artist. Its size means it can be taken anywhere and will
fit in your handbag :) and has kept me amused on many bus trips... |
