Good perspective on Tanizaki, ultimately not very informative about Japan.......2006-11-10
In Praise of Shadows is a very readable and succinct essay regarding Japanese aesthetics and their gradual Westernization around the turn of the twentieth century. While it provides a good glimpse of what Tanizaki felt about his country, and gives good perspective to better understanding his other works, ultimately its not very informative about Japan. Many of the conclusions about westernization tend to be largley exaggerated. In addition, the picture he paints of Japanese aesthetics is overly romanticisized as well. While it is very readable, and at times interesting, if you read it, use it as a character study of Tanizaki, but if your looking for a good introduction to Japanese aesthetics take this one with several metric tons of salt.
The Complaints of a Crotchety Old Man.......2006-07-02
I took a class on Japanese culture last semester, and this was one of our texts. While Tanizaki's views provide an interesting perspective, this whole essay is really just an old man talking about how traditional Japanese aesthetics are good and Western-influenced aesthetics are not. He repeatedly insults and dismisses Western ideas of beauty simply because they are Western. He may well be right, at the very least in certain aspects, by saying that the Japanese ideals of beauty are best, but his refusal to give a second thought to Western ideals makes his point moot. It's the basic fallacy of origin.
"The quality that we call beauty ... must always grow from the realities of life.".......2006-03-18
In this classic 1933 essay, novelist Jun'ichiro Tanizaki explores the idea of shadows as a key note of Japanese aesthetics. Shadows are a natural function of traditional Japanese architecture - large rooms with broad eaves to keep rain and snow away from paper walls naturally create richly dark and quiet interiors, where shadows seem to have a presence all of their own. Tanizaki extends this idea, following the shadows from temple toilets to the darkness of lacquered tableware, into the folds of women's traditional clothing, and onto the Japanese stage. Some of his notions are purely fanciful - that gold was only valued by the ancients for the way it reflected candlelight; that the Japanese have an implicit distaste for their own skin given the way the light reveals its imperfect whiteness - while he is spot-on when it comes to articulating the beauty of No actors, and the way candlelight changes the quality of a restaurant meal. The essay's meandering structure might surprise those more accustomed to a rigorous argument, but as Thomas J. Harper notes in his insightful afterword, it invokes the Japanese artistic tradition of following the line wherever it leads. Along the way, Tanizaki makes a none too subtle critique of Western incursion into Japanese life. He mourns the displacement of candlelight by neon, the patina of a well-used bowl being reinterpreted as 'filth', and the white faces of Kabuki made monstrous by American spotlights. Tanizaki's essential contribution with this enduring piece is to remind us of something which, in the West, is so often forgotten: the quality of the materials and light from which a space is constructed - for light really is a tangible architectural element - will dictate on the subtle level the quality of human experience possible in that space. Modern life is too brilliantly lit, which might be why it so often lacks reverence and solemnity.
Wabi Sabi - not to be confused with "wasabi".......2005-04-04
The Japanese have an aesthetic concept called "Wabi Sabi." This term consists of two words. "Wabi" literally means "poverty," but in the aesthetic context it stands for simplicity; "Sabi" is literally "solitude, loneliness," and for aesthetic purposes it means something like natural impermanence. Wabi Sabi encourages, as one observer put it, a profound feeling of inner melancholy, and an appreciation of quietly clear and calm, well-seasoned and refined simplicity.
Andrew Juniper's "Wabi Sabi: The Japanese Art of Impermanence" summarizes the concept by saying that "the term wabi-sabi suggests such qualities as impermanence, humility, asymmetry, and imperfection. These underlying principles are diametrically opposed to those of their Western counterparts, whose values are rooted in the Hellenic worldview that values permanence, grandeur, symmetry, and perfection. ... Wabi-sabi is an intuitive appreciation of a transient beauty in the physical world that reflects the irreversible flow of life in the spiritual world. It is an understated beauty that exists in the modest, rustic, imperfect, or even decayed, an aesthetic sensibility that finds a melancholic beauty in the impermanence of all things." (pages 2 and 51)
In order to appreciate Junichiro Tanizaki's 50-page pamphlet "In Praise of Shadows" it helps to keep the concept of Wabi Sabi in mind. While many people would object to Tanizaki's anti-modernist view of art (and call it "reactionary" or "nationalist"), it is in fact a contemporary take on an ancient aesthetic concept that favors obliqueness (shadows) over brightness, weathered naturalness over functional novelty, the crude over the polished, and - ultimately - irrationality over rationality.
Tanizaki's essay contains good examples of Wabi Sabi, and a few peculiarly funny ones that reek of Zen humor: "one could with some justice claim that of all the elements of Japanese architecture, the toilet is the most aesthetic. Our forebears, making poetry of everything in their lives, transformed what by rights should be the most unsanitary room in the house into a place of unsurpassed elegance, replete with fond associations with the beauties of nature." (page 4) To a Western reader this sounds like unmitigated satire. But it is not. Tanizaki is serious about this stuff.
In sum, I find "In Praise of Shadows" a very entertaining illustration of an important Japanese aesthetic concept, written by one of the most important Japanese authors of the 20th century. I bought the Leete's Island Books edition of the text, which I review here. Later I found that exactly the same translation is contained in Phillip Lopate's collection "The Art of the Personal Essay." It may be better value for money.
Of course, aesthetics are always a matter of taste. Speaking of which, "wasabi" - if you recall the title of this review - is Japanese horseradish.
Had Japan developed its own science in harmony withDDD.......2005-03-21
Writing almost 70 years ago, Tanizaki put great value on an unique sense of beauty in Japan and regretted that it was disappearing as poeple were trying to follow the Western way of life. Tanizaki unhesitatingly admitted that the Western culture was in many respects superior to that of Japan, and that it was in a sense inevatble that Japan should imitate the Western lifestyle for the improvement of its living standard,and that in the process Japanese traditional lifestyle should be to some extent abandoned. But, he emphasized with deep emotion how different the things would have been had Japan developed its own science and technology consistent with its unique sense of beauty, and had it not been compelled to abandone some of its own traditions in favor of the Western lifestyle.

Gold Coast Cure's Review.......2007-04-01
I found this product to be extremely helpful. It has lots of pertinent information on losing weight and eating smart. I really like the exercise program in there as well. The menu for the meals is a little hard for me to follow with my family lifestyle. It doesn't give me much to time cook extra special meals for myself and we spend too much on groceries right now as it is. But I can at least incorporate some items here and there and I guess that is better than nothing.
This is not a diet. It's a lifestyle........2007-01-11
The "Gold Coast Cure's Fitter Firmer Faster Program" is a terrific book. It's not a quick fix fad, although most people will no doubt experience noticeable changes in just a few weeks.
The Larson's first book, Gold Coast Cure, went into great detail about Ivy's turn from poor health while battling MS to great health and a reversal of symptoms. The new book is less clinical and more user-friendly.
The Larsons prescribe a whole foods diet and explain in conversational style what that means and how we can all work it into our lives with little effort. They don't expect anyone---themselves included---to be perfect, so there are allowances for real life (including alcohol). However, they make sure you know how to eat for a better life no matter where you are.
The book also explains easy ways to make children eat a healthier diet, and if you've read any recent studies on obesity rates for childen, you know a change is needed. Ivy includes recipes for meals and snacks, and none take longer than 30 minutes. There is also a "Fit Foods" shopping guide.
The fitness component is 30 minutes, 3 times a week. It's circuit training that can be done at home or in a gym. They also add an outdoor workout for the park or vacation. The workouts include strength training (several methods), cardio bursts for metabolism and fitness gains, Pilates, Yoga, calisthenics, and traditional stretching. The workouts can be made harder or easier depending on your age and fitness level. Unlike many authors, whose pictures leave you wondering if they follow their own advice, Andrew (who is a surgeon) looks fit and muscular, but not in an overdone way. He demonstrates many of the exercises. Ivy, who is a fitness instructor, looks like she could still captain the Florida Gators cheerleading squad.
The Larsons also include a rather involved supplement program, but none of the six pills is expensive. The reasons for these six are explained in much greater detail in their first book.
What comes across throughout is that these two really care. To that end, I wrote the Larsons on their Web site to ask for a fitness circuit that would work better in a "manly" gym setting. Ivy responded the same day with a full program and great detail. The circuit kicked my butt too. She also wrote to say she'll add it to the blog, and then followed up with an e-mail to ask me how it worked. I already bought the book, so she genuinely cared about my results with her advice.
Bottom line: eat whole foods, take smart supplements, work out hard but briefly three times a week. This book shows how to do it.

Brilliant, a rare masterpiece.......2006-07-05
This book set me on fire when I first read it. Along with that other masterwork "Marketing Mistakes" this gem of a book is a great antidote to the hype and testosterone that marketing generates. A breath of common sense.
Another great book from Clancy et al. I'd recommend a full set of their books to anyone, not a dud among them. For more of a similar vein try:
- Marketing and the Bottom Line (ISBN: 0273661949)
- Marketing Payback (ISBN: 0273688847)
Useless D'uh type points..........2005-11-23
Perhaps this book was good 10 years ago but not in 2005. I read the first few chapters and after several hours of going through the so-called "myths" I just had enough...
Most points they call "myths" are common knowledge to anyone in business or marketing fields (At least NOW).
Again, I am not sure how the situation was 10 years ago but now it is not worth the paper it is printed on.
Many better books are out there so don't waste your time.
A straight forward and useful marketing resource.......1999-09-16
As a business consultant, one of the most important things I can do for my clients is to help them overcome their "time honored traditions". While you might think that the need to call in outside consultants is indicative of management's recognition that the current way of doing things isn't working any more, quite often the opposite is true. Organizational inertia, especially in the area of marketing, is often difficult to overcome. This book has helped me countless times in assisting organizations in overcoming "old thinking" and in moving their marketing strategies forward.

One of the best books written about marketing. A gem!.......1997-05-08
Not only is it easy to read, but it's shocking in its ability to zero in on what's wrong with the marketing business. A must read! For those who want more detail, try reading their first collaborative effort, The Marketing Revolution. Bottom line--if you buy no other marketing book, buy one of these two books. They are Marketing Bibles with enormous power. Why? Because they lay out in excrutiating detail how marketeers have been relying on well-worn mths to conduct business--myths that have no basis in fact. Thus, is it any wonder that so many marketing efforts either don't work or when they do work can't be explained. I should know. Prior to reading these books, I fell for the same myths. Not any more, thanks to authors Clancy and Shulman. Gene Pinder Director of Marketing U.S. SPACE CAMP

I should have listened!.......2004-08-02
I agree with the reviewer that returned the book. I wish I had never read it as well. Even with the editing problems, there was much to like about the story. It was exciting and thought provoking. But the ending ruined the entire book for me. The book was not short, and it's clear that he cared about the characters - all of them. That is why I felt it was a travesty that Mr. Knudsen insulted his readers for shock value. I hate being manipulated, but you got me.
Whoa!.......2004-04-17
I cant believe that this is the first book this guy has made, i feel like calling and asking his high school and college teachers for his old work. And to think he's a beginner if he's this good now wait until he's seasoned they wont be able to keep a book of his in any store. Just buy it for all the twists and turns youll go through you will not forget this book!
Interracial sex, action, suspense--rockin'.......2003-08-23
My girl friend made me read this book. I'm glad she did. This would be an awesome movie! Sex, violence, intrigue, and an ending I never saw coming!
Characters were so real and developed and felt like they were real people and the scenario just could be...
She thought it was romantic, but I thought of it as a suspense-thriller!
Not for people that like H.E.A.E........2003-05-08
This book was really good with all its twist and turns, but and of course their is a but. I like my books to end a certain way and this one did not so for that alone I gave it three stars. It just really made me madd. I bought this book but I returned it just for the reason I have stated. Disappointed reader.
A fresh - complicated breath of intensity!.......2002-09-05
A friend told me of this book and though I had doubts of spending that much money on a new author--I am glad I did. The book starts off with many characters which took a while to get to know, but the prose is poetic and picturesque and K.D. Knudsen does not shy away from depiction of the brutality of evil. The interracial love interest was very sensual and I could see some of the conflict in a relationship I had. The farther I got into the book, the harder it was to put down. The best part...I usually guess the endings...but I never could have in this book. I was stunned and WOWWED! I can't wait for his next work!

The third volume in Nicholls's critically acclaimed fantasy finds Maras Dantia drowning in war. Stryke, head of the renegade orcs, and his warband have found the long-lost relic they need--but still do not know how to use it. And, while they try to figure it out, enemies hunt them from every corner. Worse yet, the three sisters are close to forming an alliance that will overturn history. Time is running out to save the world. Nicholls's masterworks are the first to tell the story from the other side--from the point of view of the orcs, the villains of Lord of the Rings.

An epic that has an ending... great.......2001-12-28
Warriors of Tempest turned out to be the last of a trilogy...
Such a shame, because I was getting used to Stryke and his comrades... Clearly Stan decided halfway the book to put an end to it, because the end is rather rude...
Did I mind? No... we don't need another endless Wheel of Time series :-)
The book, as its two prequels is fastpaced and reads like lightning (mum said it was a waste of money to have me read it in one day! :-))
I hope Stan will do a follow up on Stryke and his warband in the realm of Orcs... or have a spin of on Jup (the dwarve) at least!!

Doctor, I need a follow up vegan appointment.......2007-08-06
straight forward, detailed everyday essential for great general public and beyond, science based, research based, I am organic vegan athlete wannabe yet I find knowledges I desperately need.
Great info on supplements!.......2002-06-05
I thought I already knew every thing there was to know about eating right and exercising--until I read Eat Smart, Play Hard. I was amazed by how much new information and recearch has come out recently, just in the past few years. Applegate does a great job of highlighting the latest, most important eating strategies in an easy-to-read and understand format. I particularly liked her information on supplements. Her tips helped me to improve my running times, as well as my endurance in other sports such as cycling and hiking. This is a must-read.
don't waste your money on this one.......2002-04-26
I agree with others who have said this book is just too simplistic. I am not an expert but consider myself to be very knowledgeable in the area of nutrition and sports nutrition. This book did not offer anything I did not already know and in my opinion it has close to nothing to offer athletes. Liz Applegate writes a column for Runners World magazine in which she shares alot of useful information, unfortunatly she seems to have left it all out of this book. I usually do not write such poor reviews however I read runners world monthly and do not feel that the book deserves the "hype" it has recieved.
Good advice for the super jock.......2002-02-23
This book, while probably good, is for the person getting 3-4 hours of heavy exercise per day. I found some good hints, but this is not applicable for the average person.
Not much scientific background, but some useful information.......2002-02-14
I bought this book because I was looking for some help in tayloring my food regimen better to the type of exercise I did in different periods. The title and description of the book gave me the idea that it would deliver to me exactly what i was looking for. But I was quite disappointed. I have read several nutrition/health books, so I have quite some data, I was just looking for something that would help me give the finishing touch, the "taylor-made" touch to an otherwise good food regimen. What I found was a lot of common knowledge-type info, things that you most likely already know if you attend the gym or run regularly. Since the author is someone with a background in nutrition/fitness, I was expecting more. I was expecting in-depth info of what is needed in terms of nutrients when practicing a specific sport as opposed to another one, while I found that this book contained also some falsehoods and suggestions that are not necessarily healthy. The meal plans are too much carbohydrate-based so they won't be of much help to someone who is exercising also for weightloss and for people who are sugar-sensitive (and there are a lot), but it's also non-optimal for any fitness enthusiast who wants to keep healthy through exercise.
The author does make distinctions between sports and acivities and puts the emphasis on special nutritional needs for some sports, and you can find some useful data on this aspect, and that's why I gave it 2 stars and not 1.
