Book Description

Fans have a long history in the decorative arts in Spain. This book concentrates on the infinite variety of materials used to make fans; both the importation of those materials and their handling. Some fans were grand and gem-encrusted emblems of authority; others were mass-produced paper trifles with political advertisements on them. Spanish-dominated Central and South American countries provided brilliantly colored fans made from iridescent feather-mosaics, yet, just as important in their own time, were classical paintings on fans of vellum or "chicken-skin." Spain's history, trading exploits, and crafting of expensive and unusual materials to make fans, together with her religious, social and sartorial habits, are combined in this comprehensive and highly illustrated book, which includes collector's information about fan associations.

Book Description

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on fans and cooker hoods with fans in Spain face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying fans and cooker hoods with fans to Spain? How important is Spain compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of fans and cooker hoods with fans vary from one country of origin to another in Spain? On the supply side, Spain also exports fans and cooker hoods with fans. Which countries receive the most exports from Spain? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for fans and cooker hoods with fans in Spain. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for fans and cooker hoods with fans for those countries serving Spain via exports, or supplying from Spain via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Spain fits into the world market for imported and exported fans and cooker hoods with fans. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Spain in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Spain is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Spain compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.

Crumb at his best.......2006-06-01

The classic comic style and the hilarious stories that he creates is on point. I love his work and he didsn't sell this one short

Book Description

"I had the general symptoms, the chief among them being a disinclination to work of any kind."So begin the hilarious misadventures of a merry, but scandalously lazy band of well-to-do young men-and a plucky and rather world-weary fox terrier named Montmorency-on an idyllic cruise along the River Thames. Feeling seedy, muses one of them dreamily, "What we want is rest." What they find instead is one hapless catastrophe after another. Soggy weather, humiliating dunkings, the irritating behavior of small boats and the "contrariness of teakettles" are just a few of the barbarisms our genteel heroes are forced to endure. But which a delighted reader can only sing, Hooray!First published in 1889, Three Men in a Boat was an instant success, and Jerome has been compared to comic master P.G. Wodehouse.

Download Description

A marvel of British comedy, this story of a simple boating trip follows in the tradition of Oscar Wilde. In the late 19th century, three men pack food, clothes, and dog into a small boat built with character and charm (read: disaster in the making), then traverse the English countryside along the Thames, armed with their wits and a certain genteel ruthlessness.

Customer Reviews:

three men in a boat from the oxford bookworms library.......2007-05-04

I read this book about 10 years ago......and today I'm still laughing.
Jerome possessed very good comic timing, the story flowed naturally, the emotions and reaction of the 3 men were so real that I wish I was on the river and met them at that time! Somehow this book can teach us the importance of taking a break from our daily life.
I recently bought a copy from Amazon which was initialy meant as a gift for someone, but having a second thought, I decided to keep it as a precious reading companion for myself when I'm travelling.

Didn't age well.......2007-03-26

Jerome K. Jerome might have been a riot 100 years ago but this book will provoke only a rare smirk. The best bits belong to the dog who only seems to appear at the end of every third or fourth chapter to drop a one-liner. Other than that, it is aged, slow moving slapstick with some oddly out-of-place moments of reflection.

How anyone can call this a laugh riot boggles my mind.

Good reading of delightful novel.......2006-11-10

This is a very nice reading of one of my favorite humorous novels.

Three Men in a Boat: To Say Nothing of the Dog.......2006-11-10

So very refreshing!!!!! Lots of laughs.

A comedic classic.......2006-09-25

I had put off reading this book for many years, and finally got to it.

The writing in this novel is simply superb. Jerome possesses a comic timing that most authors don't have and can simply never hope to have. He is able to weave in a history of the River Thames in with the bumblings of the three main characters and their dog, without hurting either major premise of the book.

The main reason to read this is because it will make you laugh. If it doesn't, you are not understanding it correctly.

Book Description

Jerome's comic masterpiece — and one of the best-known classics of English humor — follows the misadventures of 3 bungling, Victorian-era bachelors who take off on a rowing excursion up the Thames. Their disastrous struggles with camping equipment, meal preparation, and rampant hypochondria trumpet simple truths that still resonate today.

To say nothing of the dog!.......2006-07-05

Imagine Bertie Wooster and two of his idiot friends out on a boat... with no Jeeves. That about describes "Three Men in a Boat : To Say Nothing of the Dog," Jerome K. Jerome's enchanting comic novel about three young men (to say nothing of the dog) who discover the "joys" of roughing it.

The three men are George, Harris and the narrator, who are all massive hypochiandriacs -- they find that they have symptoms of every disease in existance (except housemaid's knee). To prop up their failing health, they decide to take a cruise down the Thames in a rented boat, camping and enjoying nature's bounty.

Along with Monty -- an angelic-looking, devilish terrier -- the three friends set off down the river. But they find that not everything is as easy as they expected. They get lost in hedge mazes, end up going downstream without a paddle, encounter monstrous cats and vicious swans, have picnics navigate locks, offend German professors, and generally get into every kind of trouble they possibly can...

Even though it was published more than a century ago, "Three Men in a Boat" remains as freshly humorous as when it was first published. While editor/playwright/author Jerome K. Jerome wrote a lot of other books, this book remains his most famous. And once you've read it, you'll see why.

Jerome's real talent is in finding humor in everyday things, like trying to erect a tent in the woods, getting seasick, or questioning whether it's safe to drink river water. Written in Jerome's dry, goofy prose, these little occurrances become immensely funny. One of the funniest parts of the book is when the boys listen to a fishermen telling of his prowess, only to accidently knock down his record-breaking stuffed fish.... and discover it's made out of plaster. Oops.

But Jerome takes a break from the humor near the end, when the boys find a drowned woman floating in the river. And here he becomes solemn and quietly compassionate: "She had sinned - some of us do now and then - and her family and friends, naturally shocked and indignant, had closed their doors against her."

But back on the funny stuff. The capstone on all this humor is the "three men." These guys are basically pampered Victorian aristocrats, who have a romantic yearning for the great outdoors. You'll be laughing at them and with them, as they struggle through the basics of boating and camping.

It's worth noting that the Digireads edition of this book is very good, with a flexible cover, extremely strong binding, and a nice reproduction with rather small print. Think "Dover Thrift," but of higher quality.

Funny, wacky and creepily true to life, "Three Men in a Boat" is an enduring comic classic in the vein of PG Wodehouse. Not to mention the dog!
