Beautiful New Book of the Best Designs .......2006-11-10

This spectactularly illustrated book show the best of what is being done in landscaping today. It features the work of some 30 landscape designing firms from around the country. All areas of the country are represented from the desert southwest of Arizona and Nevada to the harsh climate of Alaska, where the featured designers have spent a quarter century selecting and developing plants that will thrive in that area. It includes formal gardens and designs where the ocean comes right up to the patio. Water is used in other designs as well from designs where the infinity edged pool leads the eye to the skyline of the city beyond, or where a lazy, slow moving river provides an ever changing view.

This is primarily an idea book where the designs photographed here can be used to give you ideas of what you want in your design. Secondarily it provides a guide to selected landscape architects and an illustration of the work they are capable of doing. Perhaps you'll select one of these 'artists,' but if not, you'll have something by which to compare the work of the firm you select.

This book is beautifully printed, using beautiful photographs and bound to hast a lifetime.

Beautiful Idea Book of the Best in New Design.......2006-11-10

A home is, of course, foremost a place to sleep, to eat, and to be you and your family's private place away from the rest of the world. But all this could be accomplished by a warehouse type structure or a few rooms in one of the monolithic vertical warehouses called public housing.

For most of us, a home is far more than that. It's a work of art that shows the rest of the world a bit about us. It may be southern colonial, or western log cabin. It can be ultra-modern, or something that goes back to our foreign roots in Europe, Asia or where ever.

This beautifully illustrated book shows the best of the best in home design in the last few years by a carefully made selection of the best of the best design firms. The homes shown in the pictues do not concentrate on any particular style, indeed some different homes from the same firm show wide variation.

Don't expect to find any little 1,000 square foot homes here, these homes represent the best of today's design, and money could not have been a major criteria in the project.

Book Description

When Welsh assault rock'n'rollers The Manic Street Preachers burst onto the British guitar band stage in 1992, they put the rest of the contenders to shame. In the wake of dance culture, rock bands had mostly abandoned the pure energy and subversive anger of punk and rock in favour of a laid-back hybrid of beats and murmurs. From a small town in Wales, The Manics reclaimed the purity of the form, playing their glam punk with a religious fervour. They had better clothes, slogans and interview technique than anyone since the late '70s and over two albums, '92s Generation Terrorists and '93s Gold Against The Soul, James Dean Bradfield, Richey Edwards, Nicky Wire and Sean Moore fast-tracked from cult heroes to national talking point, offending and confronting as they went and firing off brilliant anthems for the alienated. The self-destructive tendencies of guitarist Richey Edwards provided a melodramatic subplot to the music, as he progressed from carving the words 4 REAL into his arm during an interview, to his final unsolved disappearance prior to the release of '94s The Holy Bible. Like Nirvana, The Manics were always more than just another capable band, and their rise to international stadium-filling status in the aftermath of Edwards' exit has not entirely dissipated their aura. Japanese photographer Mitch Ikeda began shooting the band on their early tours in Japan and became closely involved with their visuals. His elegant images of before and after Richey brilliantly capture their rock-stars-in-leopard-skin flamboyance, as well as framing the fragility and existential doubt that lurked behind the vicious wall of chords. Like Anton Corbjin with US, Ikeda got inside their identity and defined them absolutely. This book, the official memento of ten years of Manic mayhem, includes reminiscence and commentary from the remaining members of the band and an original foreword by Nicky Wire.

I'll Take A Picture of You..........2003-05-31

This is definitely a book for the fans.

At first, I wasn't going to bother to order this until the price came down, or I just wasn't excited enough. I don't know what I was thinking. Plus, being an American Manics fan, it wasn't exactly easy to find here...and our pub. date kept getting pushed back...yadda yadda yadda.

After reading reviews of the book, and seeing some of the photos previewed, I gave in. I'm glad I did. It's beautiful.

These are photos taken by longtime photographer and friend-of-the-band Mitch Ikeda. It's a tribute to his incredible competence and artistic sense that he manages to make every moment caught on film as epic as the band itself. From the first shot of the band, through Richey's disappearance, to the current Manic Street Preachers, Mitch manages to capture James, Nicky, Sean, and Richey as friends, family members, musicians, and--most importantly--as human beings. As for Richey himself, he is shown in his lighter moments (puppet!), as well as his increasingly darker and haunted moments. It proves that he wasn't always moping about as popular mythology (and Simon Price's book) has it.

Not only do you have the photos to tell the story, but most of them have captions from the bandmembers...touching, funny, telling.

Grab a bottle of your favorite spirits, put on the appropriate music, get comfortable, and open this book. You'll find it difficult to put it down.

Manic Brilliance As Captured by Mitch.......2003-02-16

Forget about Simon Price! His book was an interesting read, but a bit lacking in heart. If you want the rest of the story you simply *must* get Mitch Ikeda's photo biography of the Manic Street Preachers.

So much of the Manic's manifesto was presented through visual imagery and the only way to really *get* what they are about is to see it for yourself. Witness the Wire scissor-kicking in his skirts, see James in army gear, Sean drumming his heart out and Richey looking soulfully at the camera with his big sad eyes.

Mitch has also caught intimate moments of exhaustion, sadness, and joy. Let me tell you, the book is worth it just for the pictures of Richey smiling and having a laugh with the others; precious and rare moments indeed.
