Book Description
As Robert Fishman writes of three of urban planning's greatest visionaries, Ebenezer Howard, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, they 'hated the cities of their time with an overwhelming passion. The metropolis was the counter-image of their ideal cities, the hell that inspired their heavens.'

Good subject matter, even better narrative.......2004-12-31
Although an interesting subject matter, the author does an amazing job using the narrative of the thinkers lives to cooincide with their belief system, the only problem is he probably could have done it in about 50 pages less, but overall its a good fast read
Book Description
Widely regarded as the greatest architect of the 20th century, the Swiss-born Le Corbusier (1887-1965) left an indelible mark on modern building design and city planning. Here celebrated architectural photographer Roberto Schezen joins with Columbia University architectural historian Kenneth Frampton-one of the world's foremost experts on modern architecture and on Le Corbusier-to bring us the most authoritative and visually enthralling exploration of Le Corbusier's greatest buildings.
From the Chapel of Ronchamp in Nôtre Dame du Haut, France, and the Unité d'habitation in Marseille, to the city of Chandigarh in India and the Carpenter Arts Center at Harvard University, these triumphs of modern architecture -shown in more than 100 newly commissioned photographs supplemented by the architect's own original measured drawings and sketches-provide a glowing tribute to the audacious spirit, bold, functional expressionism, and boundless imagination that are Le Corbusier's enduring legacy and the hallmarks of his genius.
Book Description
This is a carefully researched, complete guide to the organizations and other resources available to help artists advance and prosper in their careers. This updated edition includes chapters on working with arts organizations, funding sources, legal and accounting services, artist-in-residence programs, artists' networks, health and safety, locating affordable studio space, artists' communities, plus World Wide Web sites of special interest to artists.
Book Description
Photographs are an integral part of our daily lives from sensationalist images in tabloid papers and snapshots, to art photograpy displayed in galleries and sold through international art markets. In this thought-provoking exploration of the subject, Edwards combines a sense of the historical development of photography with an analysis of its purpose and meaning within a wider cultural context. He interrogates the way we look and think about photographs, and considers such issues as truth and recording, objectivity and fine art, identity and memory.

The real Mar Adentro.......2006-02-27
If you saw Mar Adentro and want to know more about Ramon Sampedro, this book allows you to meet him in his own words. At times funny, sad happy, abgry and very human. It should be available in English for those who cannot read Spanish.
A Greater Understanding.......2005-12-18
I am a 34 year old woman who only speaks a few words of spanish.
After watching the movie "The Sea Inside", I had to buy Ramon Sampedro's book - Letters from Hell. I could not find an english version of this book so I took it upon myself to learn spanish and translate Ramon's words.
All I can say is -- WOW.
This book is so heartfelt and honest. It is pure poetry. Ramon's will to die was truly the only thing he looked forward to. Life for him had no dignity in his state of being. What he argued is that The right to die should be a right and an individual choice.
I am forever changed after reading this book and watching the movie.
Memoria Viva y desde el Infierno............2005-08-10
Este hombre sufre un accidente y como consecuencia queda paraplejico.
En este documento narra desde el momento de el accidente hasta sus ultimos dias, unas paginas son realmente enternecedoras, otras de una infinita tristeza y a veces te sorprende con un poco de alegria.
Este libro esta basado en las cartas que el propio Sampero escribio.... con la boca, dada su condicion fisica era de la manera que el escribia, y dentro de las cartas describe su esfuerzo al escribir,,,
en fin es un libro que si vale la pena leer y ponernos en los zapatos de todos aquellos que estan vivos solo de cerebro y su lucha de alguno de ellos por su derecho de poner fin a sus vidas.
gran historia

Awesome........2005-12-14
Loved this book. It's 12 stories of teenagers and young adults clawing their way out of drug addiction. This author still runs Teen Challenge. Check out his web-site at: http://www.teenchallengeusa.com/
I wish he had 10 more books like this. I'd read them all.
