Customer Reviews:
Only in Japan.......2004-06-06
I bought this book hoping to increase my knowledge of turf grass disease identification. The book is very in depth and informative but most of the pictures are from golf courses in Japan. Since most of the disease I see is on residential properties, they dont look anything like the pictures in the book. Most of those were taken on putting greens on Japanese bent grass. Its a good book, but not if your working with tall fescue.

Wonderful overview of 20th Century photography & well-priced.......2001-11-24
The printing is excellent. The photographs are inspiring and the descriptions of the photographers are short and to the point. The photographers are a diverse lot -- from Henri Cartier-Bresson to Helmut Newton. For ten bucks you can't go wrong.
A Wonderful Collection.......2001-09-25
This is a wonderful collection of photographs. I was a little disappointed as a number of non-continental photographers, obviously not part of the collecion in Cologne, could not be included in this volume. I was also disappointed in the biographical sketches as they were sparse and filled with antiseptic information, but this was due more to a space restriction than conscience oversight.
All in all an excellent volume.
Great Introduction to Modern Photography and This Collection.......2000-11-19
Before discussing the book, let me mention that like many photography books this one contains nude images. Most of these are done tastefully and are of women. If such images offend you, either skip those pages or avoid the book.
This book was a very nice surprise for me. I had just finished reading MOMA's book on its photographic collection, "Looking at Photographs," and was wondering how else a collection might have been portrayed. Then, I found this book that takes a different approach. You will probably want to consider both of them, as well.
The second reason this was a nice surprise is that I have not been in Cologne in 28 years and did not realize that the city now had such an impressive photography collection. As a result, Cologne is now on my list for my next trip to Germany.
The museum has 9300 photographs, which is almost as many as MOMA does. That is remarkable because MOMA was the first art museum to have a photography department and collection while this museum was not founded until 1976.
The Museum Ludwig Cologne has done so well because of a series of gifts from the L. Fritz Gruber collection, beginning in 1977 (when the MOMA book was first released). The images in this book are heavily drawn from that fine collection.
What this book provides is a soupcon of 278 reasonably well-known photographers. I was pleased to see that women photographers were well represented (unlike many photographic collections). Each photographer gets a least a page. That page or more will include one or more images, and at least a half page of background on the photographer.
In the sketch of the photographer will be included a brief biography, perspectives on the person's career, quotes from the photographer, style, techniques used, artistic associations, and key career events. These sketches were quite well done for such a limited amount of space.
The photographs were chosen to give a taste of the person's style which could then be discussed in the sketch. The images selected tend to favor the photographer's most highly regarded works.
For those who are new to learning about great photographers, this is one of the best introductions I have seen. The main drawback from this perspective is that the images are very tiny to reflect both the small page size and putting many images on one small page. But the paper quality is outstanding and the reproduction quality is superb for such small images. They will give you an accurate taste of the actual photograph, but certainly do not substitute for seeing the real thing in the correct size. I graded the book down one star because the small size of the images makes most of them unrepresentative of the actual work.
For those who know photography well, this is simply a good way to take an advance look at the museum's collection to see if it is worth a trip. Having seen what is in the collection, you can then correspond with the museum to determine what will be available when so that your interests can be best satisfied during your visit.
With so many 20th century masterpieces represented, it would be pointless to single out a few of the 860 images as my favorites, especially since they are so small.
It may help you to know who some of the 278 photographers are. Here is a partial listing: Ansel Adams, Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Lucien Clergue, Harold Edgerton, Alfred Eisenstadt, Peter H. Furst, Phillippe Halsman, Heinz Held, Fritz Henle, David Octavius Hill, Horst P. Horst, Walde Huth, Alfred Cheney Johnston, Yousuf Karsh, Dorothea Lange, Angus McBean, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Helmut Newton, Irving Penn, Man Ray, Bettina Rheims, August Sander, Karl Hugo Schmolz, Edward Streichen, Alfred Stieglitz, and Edward Weston.
After you examine this outstanding collection in its bite-sized pieces, I suggest that you also think about where else there are great photographic collections that you would enjoy. Then arrange to read about them, and plan your next trip!
Keep your eyes open for opportunity!
Full of History and Wonderful Images.......2000-06-17
This was the first book of photography I ever bought. It gives a great overview for the genre and contains hundreds of fantastic images. I especially enjoy the fact that the book gives a brief history on all the featured artists. I highly recomend this book as a starting point to the wonderful and artistic world of photography!
Great book, too small. I'm looking for a full size edition!!.......1998-12-24
I noticed the book several years ago in a clothing store, the GAP , I believe. The edition I saw was a full size, coffee table format. Now that I can afford to purchase one for myself, I cannot find the full sized edition. The material of the book is first rate. The new format, however, does not allow for a relaxed read - one has to almost crack the binding to open the book sufficiently to read it. The information and photography in this book deserve a larger and more accessible format.

Now YOU can disseminate culture........2001-12-06
The Ludwig Museum in Cologne possesses, among its nearly 10,000 holdings, some of the most celebrated and familiar photographs in the history of the medium. Many of them feature in this booklet of 30 shimmeringly monochrome postcards.
They range from star portraits, both glamorous (Helnmein's 'William S. Burroughs' complete with revolver; Beaton's 'Marlene Dietrich'; Steichen's 'Gloria Swanson') and surreal (Petrussov's 'Caricature of Rodchenko); folksy documents (Hine's 'New England Country Store'); fashion portraits (Walde Huth); urban iconography (Ignatovich's 'the Hermitage'); still lives (Kertesz); avant-garde compositions (Lissitzky, Man Ray, Maholy-Nagy); staged social commentary (Will McBride; Duane Michal's 'Paradise Regained'); and the poignantly historical (Sander's 'Young Farmers on their way to a dance').
These examples are meticulously arranged or composed tableaux, sculpted in light and the purest artifice - the camera is encouraged to lie. There is nothing of the medium's documentary legacy, such as war coverage - presumably, a holiday greeting to Aunt Ethel sent on the back of a killing field would be in dubious taste.

Book Description
This textbook brings together the main developments in non-cooperative game theory from the 1950s to the present. After opening with a number of lively examples, Ritzberger starts by considering the theory of decisions under uncertainty. He then turns to representations of games, first introducing extensive forms and then normal forms. The remainder of the text is devoted to solution theory, going from basic solution concepts like rationalizable strategies, Nash equilibrium, and correlated equilibrium to refinements of Nash equilibrium. Foundations of Non-Cooperative Game Theory covers all material relevant for a first graduate course in game theory, plus some issues only touched on by other texts. In particular, this book contains an in-depth discussion of perfect recall and related concepts, including a proof of Kuhn's theorem. It provides an introduction to the Thompson transformations for extensive forms, and a section on the reflection of extensive form structures in normal form games. In addition to the standard material on basic solution concepts, strategy subsets closed under rational behavior are covered, as well as fixed sets under the best-reply correspondence. Refinements of Nash equilibrium driven by backwards induction in the extensive form or by strategy trembles in the normal form are presented, and strategic stability, the geometry of the Nash equilibrium correspondence, and index theory for Nash equilibrium components are discussed in depth. Ritzberger provides numerous examples and exercises to aid the reader's understanding, most of which are motivated by applications of game theory in economics. While advanced mathematical machinery is used on occasions, an effort has been made to include as many explanations for formal concepts as possible, making this text an invaluable tool for teachers, students, and researchers of microeconomics and game theory.

Book Description
Over the past fifty years game theory has had a major impact on the field of economics. It was for work in game theory that the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded. Although non-cooperative game theory is better known, the theory of cooperative games has contributed a number of fundamental ideas to microeconomic analysis. Cooperative Microeconomics is the definitive textbook on these contributions.
Designed to be used by undergraduate and graduate students, the book provides a thorough introduction and overview of its subject. Hervé Moulin distinguishes among three primary modes of cooperation: cooperation by direct agreements; cooperation by just, equitable compromise; and cooperation by decentralized behavior. This tri-modal methodology is applied successively to the exchange of private goods, the fair division of unproduced commodities, the cooperative production of private and public goods, and cost-sharing.
Moulin proposes an elementary and self-contained exposition (supplemented by over 125 exercises) of the main cooperative concepts for microeconomic analysis, including core stability, deterministic solutions (such as the Shapley value), and several broad principles of equity (such as the No Envy and Stand Alone tests). The book also covers the most important failures of the decentralized behavior: the tragedy of the commons and the free rider problem in the provision of public goods. _Cooperative Microeconomics_ is the first book of its kind, and it will be widely used in courses in microeconomics and game theory.
Book Description
Problems of fair division, equitable cost-sharing, division of a joint benefit, or the choice of a truly democratic voting rule are familiar subjects of dispute in technologically advanced democracies. This book provides a comprehensive and unified presentation of these technically heterogeneous subjects that are linked by common axioms.

Book Description
This book is an analysis of the modern economy's two major resource allocation mechanisms. The price mechanism has been subject to extensive examination by neoclassical economists, but there has been relatively little attention paid to the impact of the organization of firms on allocation. Professor Ichiishi presents a distinctive theory of the firm that views firms as organizations characterized by diversity of interest among their members. The author derives a number of original results, thereby contributing to the theory of the firm, cooperative game theory, and general equilibrium analysis theory.

Description:
We show that microeconomic chaotic variations of payoffs in the prisoner's dilemma game maintain cooperation over a broad range of defection temptation values where otherwise economic stalemate reigns. Thus, unpredictability at micro scales impedes mutual defection that inflicts social poverty.
Book Description
This book investigates models in cooperative game theory in which the players have the possibility to cooperate partially. In a crisp game the agents are either fully involved or not involved at all in coperation with some other agents, while in a fuzzy game players are allowed to cooperate with infinite many different participation levels, varying from non-cooperation to full cooperation. A multi-choice game describes the intermediate case in which each player may have a fixed number of activity levels. Different set and one-point solution concepts for these games are presented. The properties of these solution concepts and their interrelations on several classes of crisp, fuzzy, and multi-choice games are studied. Applications of the investigated models to many economic situations are indicated as well.

Book Description
Credit unions, the most important source of credit for microenterprises in Latin America, reach the poor in large numbers and have great potential for expansion and growth. When donor funding and subsidies began to dry up in the mid-1980s, and competition from commercial banks intensified in the 1990s, many credit unions throughout the region found themselves facing a profound crisis. The more progressive credit unions responded to these competitive forces by developing greater financial discipline and service innovation.
In facing up to this new environment, Latin American credit union movements will have to grapple with four key issues: rehabilitation, regulation and supervision, governance, and consolidation. Safe Money explores these issues and presents the new thinking on how credit unions can compete effectively in modern financial markets while still retaining their social mission.
