Book Description
A compelling analysis of stadium history, exploring the intersection of civic leadership, sporting institutions, and media coverage to reveal cultural attitudes that transcend sport.
Stadium construction has altered the physical landscape of many major metropolitan areas throughout North America and has had a profound psychological and economic impact on these urban centers. How athletic facilities have been constructed, from the ritual-centered beginning of stadium construction in ancient Greece to large-scale construction of professional sports facilities in present day global centers, reveals a culture's values and priorities and how it defines its recreational needs.
With in-depth analysis and research, Robert C. Trumpbour examines the political institutions, commercial entities, civic leadership, and media organizations that influenced new stadium construction. The author analyzes three significant recent historical periods: the Progressive Era, when modern fireproof stadiums were first built; the late 1960s and early 1970s, when multipurpose stadiums were built in downtown areas to promote urban redevelopment; and the late 1990s, when retro ballparks were designed to accommodate commercial and entertainment space. Charting this evolution, Trumpbour convincingly argues that there has been a dramatic shift in the role of the media, with media access emerging as a vital element in setting the ground rules for the stadium construction debate. Written in lucid, jargon-free prose, this book combines a detailed history of stadium construction with an analysis of current stadium issues.

Super.......2001-07-18
I like going out to the ballpark and looking at the ballpark itself. I like finding the stats about it. What things there are to do. And how it was designed. This book gave me wonderful ideas on how to design my own stadium. I recomend this book to anyone.
Possibly the best architectural look at stadiums available!.......1998-08-24
Definitely one of my favorite books on the shelf. STADIA provides a unique, not seen before look at the architectural structures of todays sports stadiums. Fun to read over and back and around again. Gives ideas that provide a basis for drawings and blueprints.

Book Description
Explore the full potential of this fascinating and versatile medium and learn how, using simple techniques, you can create works of tremendous subtlety and delicacy.
A comprehensive techniques section introduces readers to the materials needed, and demonstrates in easy-to-follow step-by-step sequences essential coloured pencil techniques such as blending and shading. Readers are encouraged to look closely at their subjects - simple exercises demonstrate how to search for hidden tones and colours that might otherwise be missed.
The author then provides 15 step-by-step projects for readers to follow. Starting with close-up drawings of subjects such as cat's eyes and pebbles, the projects work through to more complex illustrations such as a still life with fruit and a tulip in a glass vase.
In this way readers can build up skills gradually, using simple techniques learnt in earlier projects to complete the later ones. Each project is accompanied by a reference photo, a black-and-white outline sketch and a colour key, plus a 'Now Try This' box to suggest further creative explorations.

It's good.......2007-04-08
I checked it out at the library to see if I wanted to buy it and I Don't. But I gave it a four star... it's not that I didn't like it, it's just too basic for me. But, for some beginners it may be too hard still. You should already know how to draw well. But, the techniques are basic. I have alot of various colored pencil books, and so I'm covered. I just wanted to check it out to see what the techniques were like. The artwork is pretty good, so there are some good starter examples for others out there. I thought the flowers were a bit on the flat side, they looked like an amateur did it. Well, I hope my review helps you decide if you should buy it or not. If not, do what I did, check it out in the library first.
Wonderful book.......2007-03-29
As a beginning colored pencil artist I have tried to read as many books as I could possibly get my hands on. This book is excellent with many excersises to improve a budding artists skills. I shared the book with an artist friend that has been using colored pencils for 40 years and she was so impressed with the book that she is purchasing a copy.
Excellent Book.......2005-03-19
After checking this book from the library I had to have a copy for myself. It is an excellent book for learning about colored pencil techniques. I highly recommend this book if you are a beginner with colored pencils.
Book Description
Colored pencils offer aspiring artists a unique combination of creative versatility and precise control. This introductory course encompasses everything the budding and intermediate-level artist needs to get started right away: basic materials and tools; wet and dry techniques; the successful use of color, texture, and composition; the effect of perspective and depth on a drawing; maximizing a limited palette; and enhancing and burnishing colors. Sixteen skill-building projects and practical exercises are demonstrated through 150 color photographs, with detailed, expert instruction covering the four most commonly explored artists’ subjects: still life, landscape, people, and animals.

The good with the bad.......2007-09-19
This is not really a book about "colored pencils," by which is usually meant Prismacolor wax pencils, or similar; it's a book about watercolor pencils, which are related, but not identical. Although some of the techniques are the same, the goals are different and the results, done well, aren't alike.
There is some good advice on technique here, but the example projects are uneven. Some of them are OK, some of them are quite nice, while others -- particularly the portraits -- well, not so much.
Finally, note that the topic of this book is not drawing per se, but painting or rendering: the author recommends in virtually every project that the reader start by tracing a source photograph.
Quite Helpful Book on Drawing with Colored Pencils.......2007-05-17
I picked up some good tips from reading this book. Now I'll tuck an emory board in with my pencils when I'm out drawing wild flowers, so I can sharpen the points of my pencils without having a pencil sharpener eat them up.
Even though I've read 3 or 4 books on using colored pencils, this helped me understand how to add burnishing with a white pencil and about shading and mixing colors. I have a better concept of using highlights, but still don't quite understand using perspective very well.
The main part of the book features sixteen demonstrations that show a finished drawing and the reference photo of the subject. Using eight steps, it shows the work in progress and gives instructions for achieving the finished drawing.
The topics covered in these demonstrations include four still lifes, four landscapes, four portraits and four animal drawings. This allows it to show a variety of techniques like monotone drawing, wax resist, and using layering to get the right strength of color. It gives tips for special effects for drawing fabric, fur, sand, etc. Using the pencils with water was explained and how to mix it with dry pencils.
The book ends with a gallery of eight inspiring drawings by top colored pencil artists.
I was quite pleased with this book.

A "Best of Colored Pencil" with How - To's.......2001-11-18
The best way to describe all the books in this series is a "Best of Colored Pencil" but combined with a short how-to essay showing how each featured artist approached the painting. The approach of the book was simple. A group of artists were each given one of three landscape photos and then asked to create a colored pencil painting using the photo as a reference.
The variety of interpretations was inspiring. One entry particularly delighted me. One lady must have seen her landscape photo as a reminder of China or Japan. The resulting landscape she created from the photo took on a beautiful Oriental quality. Each artist listed the materials they used, the colors used and most had a few step-by-step thumbnail sized photos of the pictures in progress as well as the final painting in larger format. I most treasure it simply because the creative responses to something as simple as the same 3 photos lead to so many different results. Books like this are invaluable for helping to inspire creative ideas - especially if you're suffering from "blank page" syndrome. My one and only wish is that it had been longer...it's that good. All in all, a very worthwhile book to own.
