Book Description
Time and Place -- Timeplace -- is a continuum of the mind, as fundamental as the spacetime that may be the ultimate reality of the material world.
Kevin Lynch's book deals with this human sense of time, a biological rhythm that may follow a different beat from that dictated by external, "official," "objective" timepieces. The center of his interest is on how this innate sense affects the ways we view and change -- or conserve, or destroy -- our physical environment, especially in the cities.

Customer Reviews:
Loaded with inspiration and techniques.......2002-02-16
I really enjoyed the focus of this book on painting water. Water is such an essential element of so many landscapes, it was really nice to read a book devoted to it, and not just a sub-chapter.
I also really enjoyed the numerous color reproductions of paintings throughout the book which were well-chosen and beautiful to look at.
Bringing water to life !.......2000-07-12
It's always a burning desire to capture as close the minute details in a scenary picture or the scenery itself. Water often proved to be the hardest to express its formless self.
This book discussed in details the interpretation of water features using the different media like oil, pastel, water colour. All along, it had been thought that watercolour produces the best details with depth. But the book shows that other media can achieve similar effects as well.
Many examples are discussed in step-by-step approach and illuatsated in sequences to teach about the built-up, so it's a simplified step to learning. Many medium are explore adding to the variety of expression that beginners can explore.
Well formatted and recommended for beginners and intermediate painters.
Excellent Reference Book.......1999-12-30
This book offers great projects in watercolor, oil, pastel and mixed media with lots of finished work and step by step examples. It has improved the impression of "water" in my paintings remarkably.

It's ok for what it is, but.......2006-09-01
This book is ok for what it is, which is a collection of 100 paintings by different artists and a few tidbits they share. Inspirational, maybe to some. Instructional, not in the slightest. Tips... not that I saw, though I could have missed them.
The book and paintings might offer some insight to those wanting to see what can be accomplished with the various mediums and palettes of colors. It might offer some exposure to differing styles. It's not going to teach much to most though. Still I find it well worth the (used) price I paid.

Not enough instructions/detail.......2006-10-18
He should have cut down on the number of ways to pain seascapes, rivers, and lakes and given more instructions.
How Did You Paint That?.......2006-02-26
This book is a nice book with a lot of nice pictures and reviews of these pictures from the painters. But the painters did not go into any specifications about how they made the water look so real or what type of brushes they used. There are no directions or instructions on how to reproduce one of the paintings. I was looking for a book on how to paint real looking pictures for advanced painters and this was not that book.

Inspiring.......2005-09-28
This is a good book to be used as a springboard for your own work. It has works in different mediums, each artist briefly describing how they came to their finished work; it is not meant to be a 'how-to'; rather, to stimulate and hopefully jumpstart your temporary artist's block. It is also good to read other artist's technical approach to a subject.
Lots of pictures.......2005-09-07
I have about any art book imaginable and ordered this from an Artist International Magazine sales pitch. It has 100 different artists with no more than 20 sentences describing their "technique". I would not recommend this book for much other than seeing different paintings of different artists. And I hadn't heard of any of the painters at that.

My ancestor.......2005-09-11
As long as I can remember this book has been sitting on the book self in my parent's house. I used to pick it up and look at all the wonderful pictures in it not knowing what they were or who took them...until, when I got older I realized that such a wonderful piece of obsecure americana was created by my ancestor Sumner Matteson...so this book is not only special to me because of it's value as a piece of visual history, but as a piece of my true past.
