Book Description
This essential guide to the art and architecture of ancient Mesoamerica succinctly and evocatively summarizes the artistic achievements of the high pre-Columbian civilizations—Olmec, Maya, Teotihuacan, Tolec, Aztec—as well as those of their less well-known contemporaries. The pyramids and palaces, jades and brightly colored paintings emerge from these pages as vividly as when they first astonished Cortés's men in 1519. There was a surprising unity in Mesoamerican culture from Mexico to Honduras and from 1500 BC to the Spanish Conquest. Among many features shared were a 260-day ritual calendar and a preoccupation with gods representing natural forces. Current research also emphasizes the great importance of rites of kingship, including warfare and blood sacrifice. In this third edition, Mary Miller opens up new windows on the ancient past with fresh readings of works of art, all the while offering careful archaeological interpretations. Recent hieroglyphic decipherments provide insights into ancient art, spelling out long-distance connections between the Maya and their neighbors. Updated throughout, with special attention to evidence for dating, the new Art of Mesoamerica is the ideal companion for students and travelers. 193 illustrations, 44 in color.

Successfull challenge.......2006-02-25
This book has deeply increased my motivation for learning more of the complex precolombian culture, and to visit again the Museo Nacional Antropologica, Mexico. I would recommend to read first David Carrasco " Religions of Mesoamerica ".
This is very Interesting.......2006-02-17
Excelent book, great author and great information.
Olmecs,Maya and Aztecs are studing by Mary Eller.
Worthwhile but dense.......2000-09-05
A solid, useful one-volume survey of Mesoamerican art. Miller is a noted expert in the field, and she does a commendable job of presenting a large amount of information in a short space without resorting to superficiality. The text is clear and the photographs are both copious and well-chosen, with numerous color plates adding to the enjoyment.
Almost of necessity, however, the writing style tends to be fairly dense. Those looking for a readable "History of Mesoamerica" should probably go elsewhere. Nonetheless, most readers will find this book rewarding -- after which they will want to turn to more specific and detailed volumes by Linda Schele and Michael Coe, among others.
The Art of Mesoamerica..LOVED IT.......2000-05-14
I purchased "The Art of Mesoamerica" by Mary Ellen Miller after delving into Gary Jenning's "Aztec", which had me reading both books simultaneously. It was quite a unique reading experience I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend! This book is wonderfully written and illustrated and is suitable for the serious student as well as the simply curious. It takes the reader through centuries of the evolvement of Precolumbian art (the Olmec, Aztec and Maya civilizations) in a condensed and absorbing manner. I was extremely intrigued by the art of the Maya civilization having been to Cancun several times and visiting Chichen Itza. Although I had read up on the Chichen Itza ruins and their excavation prior to my tour, I certainly would have enjoyed the experience even more if I had read this book on the flight! So much of the art (architecture, sculptures, statues, vessels, urns, etc.)becomes much more understandable after one has some knowledge of the various gods worshipped and the rituals performed. The explanations of the 260-and 365-day calendrical systems was fascinating. The book is filled with numerous photos and illustrations which add to the total enjoyment of reading it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with any interest in this area, but especially to those with a casual interest who don't want to spend a fortune on a book that ends up sitting on a shelf. Be assured this book will be accompanying me on my next trip to Mexico! My congratulations to Mary Ellen Miller for the immense amount of information she has condensed into such an outstanding and thoroughly enjoyable book.
Book Description
Beginning with the basic laws that govern photography, this legal manual helps photographers understand the basic matters of access and privacy, covering issues such as shooting images on private property, consent, and the photography of public groups. Subjects addressed include the legalities of photographing currency, stamps, securities, trademarks, seals, and insignia; military and nuclear installations; copyrighted materials; children; and animals. This updated handbook closes with a helpful glossary that decodes complicated legalese.
Customer Reviews:
little disappointed.......2007-03-18
I'll admit I haven't read every page of the book yet. I'm using it more for reference than anything. But so far I haven't been able to find much in the book that isn't already general knowledge in the photography community. Great for a beginner, I suppose, or someone just starting out. I'm just a little disappointed that I didn't find more valuable detailed legal information in there to help me in my stock photography business.
Your Questions Answered.......2007-01-24
As an advanced novice taking the first steps to go pro, I had a LOT of questions about legal issues of photography. I'd searched for some of my questions online and in a few books, but the answers were never good. They either focused on different questions or didn't give enough of an answer to satisfy me.
When this book arrived, I flipped through it and read all of the photo captions. Wow! Immediately I saw its value. Then I started reading through sections of the text. It answered all of the questions I'd had.
While one would best be advised to contact an attorney if a legal issue came up, this book goes a long way to help the reader avoid legal problems. I am VERY satisfied that I bought this book. If you're a professional photographer with legal questions, I'd highly recommend it.
Quick and to the point........2007-01-10
This particular book is almost like a "Cliffs Notes" version of some other more in-depth books on the same subject matter. In that regard, it is a great reference guide to have in the event that a specific question comes up about legalities faced by still photographers when it comes to usage, copyright, privacy, etc. A great book and I recommend to anyone who has questions about certain subject matter when it comes to still photography.
Great Advice and Cheap Insurance.......2007-01-07
As a professional photographer and writer for many years, I have occasionally bumped into problems related to making or using photographs -- people who tell you that you can't make a photograph, people who use your photographs without permission -- and I found Bert's first edition of this book several years ago and was delighted with its contents. His model-release form, for example, is the most simple and un-intimidating I have ever seen, and getting a signed model release is required for some of the work I do. I thought the advice generally was superb -- so much so that I bought copies of the book for everybody in our little company.
Since then we have worked with Bert on many copyright infringement problems, always successfully, and some of that experience has been incorporated into this second edition of the Handbook. There is tremendous misunderstanding about how the Copyright Act works and what a photographer must do to get full protection -- formal registration -- and what a photographer can get when a registered image is infringed. Bert knows this topic inside and out and shares that information in this book.
If you are a photographer who plans to keep from being sued, arrested, or harassed, and if you want to know what your options are when somebody uses your work without permission, Bert's LEGAL HANDBOOK is great advice at very reasonable expense. In fact, it is worth it for just the model release alone!
Hans Halberstadt
If you're turning pro, you'll want to read this book, too........2006-11-05
After jumping into the digital world and actually selling my images, the thought occurred to me that perhaps I should learn a few things about protecting my rights and respecting the rights of others. That is, I wanted information about how to cover my legal backside.
Krages' book describes a U.S. photographer's rights and responsibilities using a clear and conversational prose. While he explains the legal jargon specific to photography, he never forgets his readers care more about making photographs than reading dry law books. The book includes a great breadth of information in modest depth. I really appreciated the sample forms.
Given that I'm a novice pro, I found this book extraordinarily helpful. If you're turning pro, you'll want to read this book, too.
Book Description
Covering the rights photographers need to understand to prevent losing an image or incurring liability, this book details the legal aspects of publishing photographs, public vs. private property, model releases, copyrighted material, pornography, and intrusion of privacy. Also discussed are what to do when film or equipment is seized and handling confrontations.
Customer Reviews:
A Good Resource.......2006-10-23
Photographers need to know the principles in this well-written and straightforward book. However, it has not been updated in some time, and the laws do keep changing in this area. It might be good to find something more up-to-date to rely on as a resource.
Ignorance is not helpful.......2005-09-29
Matters of law are usually best left to attorneys and alike. It makes perfect sense to have some basic knowledge before entering any type of business. I really enjoyed the manner in which this book is organized. The straightforward approach of this book is much appreciated. A must read for anyone who wants to take photos beyond family gatherings.
A must for any citizen with a camera.......2005-05-21
Krages has done all of us a great favor by writing this book. Taking pictures is NOT a crime, and as long as you're on public property, you can photograph just about anything. Knowlege is ammunition and all photographers should know their rights.
This is well written and illustrated with photographs by the author. It is written for the layman and contains a glossary of legal terms.
And Krages is a good guy. Just because one has a legal right to photograph something, he writes, doesn't mean we should, for ethical reasons.
Put those security goons and pushy police on notice - You know your rights!
Great reference tool!.......2003-08-12
Great book to have on hand to take notes from and to reference when needed.
It touches on all topics re: liability and includes a great resource section.
A Practical Guide to Dealing With The Public.......2003-02-08
Everyone who takes photos in public places should have a copy of this book. Krages points out that laws restricting the publication of photographs are different from laws about making those photographs in the first place, and many misconceptions are the result of confusing the two. He also has some good suggestions for staying out of trouble, how to deal with confrontations if they occur, and when to call a lawyer. He writes: "Confidence in knowing one's rights is important when photographing action on the streets but knowing how to avoid upsetting people can be more important." He says that most lawsuits are the result of emotional issues rather than a desire to collect money.
If you want an extended discussion of copyright law, look elsewhere-- this book is about *taking* photographs, not publishing them. Good information and advice on every page.

Book Description
Is this my hidden Mutant Power--The ability to screw up absolutely any decent situation? Fanboy has never had it good, but lately his sophomore year is turning out to be its own special hell. The bullies have made him their favourite target., his best (and only) friend seems headed for the dark side (sports and popularity), and his pregnant mother and the step-fascist are eagerly awaiting the birth of the alien life form known as Fanboy's new little brother or sister. Fanboy, though, has a secret: a graphic novel he's been working on without telling anyone, a graphic novel that he is convinced will lead to publication, fame, and--most important of all--a way out of the crappy little town he lives in and away from all the people who make it hell for him. When fanboy meets Kyra, a.k.a. Goth Girl, he finds an outrageous, cynical girl who shares his love of comics as well as his hatred for jocks and bullies. Fanboy can't resist someone who actually seems to understand him, and soon he finds himself willing to heed her advice--to ignore or crush anyone who stand in his way. But Kyra has secrets, too. And they could lead Fanboy to his dreams...or down a path into his own darkness.
Customer Reviews:
great dialog.......2007-08-24
This book really shines in the dialog. The friendless (except 1 jock who apparently ignores him in public) Fanboy meets Goth Girl who alternately fights with him and draws him out of his shell. The back and forth between the two is delightful. Even more delightful is the slow realization that Fanboy has been making assumptions about people that may not be true including his best friend Cal, his step fascist...er...father, his own mother and Goth Girl.
Fanboy's emotional development is satisfying and fun. A great read and an easy sell to even book hating teens.
My inner fanboy and goth girl were amused.......2007-07-09
It was fun. I'm biased. I'm 28, but I'm a fanboy and a goth girl. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it made me feel good while I was reading it. Great job on your first novel! I look forward to more!
Most impressive.......2007-06-08
The beginning of this book had lots of red flags for me: a potentially whiny main character, a complicated, slow-to-get-moving plot.
But boy did it succeed. One of the best YA books I've read in ages. Outstanding in every respect.
What I though of Fanboy and Gothgirl.......2007-04-17
Fanboy and Gothgirl is a book about a teenage boy who is in love with comics, excuse me, i mean "graphic novels." He's an outcast to a lot of kids, and is a punching bag to the rest. To get away from all the madness he has in his life including, being a punching bag, the genius in the school, his pregnet mother, divorced parents, and having a jock as a bestfriend he makes his own graphic novel to show his favorite, not to mention his role model, graphic novel writter.
Fanboy meets a girl and they become friends. Fanboy has never really had any friend but his jock friend that usually pays no attention to him, so he's sorta new at the new friend thing. Fanboys' novel is a secret that he hasn't told anyone, but his family, about. He opens up to Gothgirl and tells her about his novel. She ends up helping him with it. Even though they have fights, they still stay close.
When Mr. Andree (my english teacher) told my class about this book, I thought that I wouldn't like it, but I took it to read anyways. It was totally different than I had expected and I couldn't put the book down. This book had helped me through my reality by teaching me that just how the way people look or act doesn't mean that you should treat them differently. They are their own character and you can't, and shouldn't, try to change that, or take that from them. I would defiantly recommend this book out to people of all ages that like teenage drama.
predictable but a good read.......2007-02-02
Not an overly complicated plot (introverted boy meets antisocial girl, her actions bring him out of his shell). Rather good characterizations and very real feeling dialog.
A good quick read that shows the author has imagination and talent. He seems to have restricted himself in trying to simplify this book for a young teen audience.
I would like to see more of these characters and some more adult themed work by this author in the future.
Book Description
What are super-devoted fans of comic books really like? What draws them together and energizes their zeal? What do the denizens of this pop-culture world have in common?
This book provides good answers as it scrutinizes the fans whose profiles can be traced at their conventions, in pages of fanzines, on websites, in chat-rooms, on electronic bulletin boards, and before the racks in comic-book stores. They are a singular breed, and an absorbing interest in comic books (sometimes life-consuming) unites them.
Studies have shows that the clustering, die-hard disciples of Star Trek have produced a unique culture. The same can be said of American enthusiasts of comic books. These aficionados range from the stereotypical "fanboy" who revels in the minute details of mainstream superhero titles like X-Men to the more discriminating (and downright snobbish) reader of idiosyncratic alternative comics like Eightball. Literate comics like Watchman, Radioactive Man, and Peepshow demand a knowledgeable audience and reward members of the culture for their expertise while tending to allienate those outside. This book shows how the degree of "comics literacy" determines a fan's place in the culture and how the most sophisticated share the nuanced history of the format.
With history, interviews, and textual analysis Comic Book Culture: Fanboys and True Believers examines the varied reading communities absorbed by the veneration of the comics and demonstrates how each functions in the ever-broadening culture.
Customer Reviews:
A good start for understanding.......2002-08-22
I'm using this book in my college writing course ("text+vision") this semester, and it is exactly what I wanted from a cultural overview of comic book fandom. Pustz does a great job of explaining how fandom came about, how it compares to other cultures (with a consistent reference to baseball fans, for example), and some of its peculiarities. In particular, he is able to partly explain the incestual nature of consumer and producers in comics, where each is a responsible party to the worst excesses of the medium, yet Pustz is careful to not make a judgment statement about this (unlike me).
This book is not a history of comics, of who published what first and which creator sued which publisher. For that, you should check out Bradford Wright's Comic Book Nation. It's not even a history of comics fandom, although it does gather quite a bit of that together in its pages (Bill Schelly covers the history of fandom in more detail). What Pustz tries to cover is the area inbetween--where fans and publishers met. This is the culture of comic books, the place where the two groups make something together, and at first it may seem strange to think of consumers as producers, or producers as consumers. But, through his analysis of comics letters pages and fanzines, Pustz shows how the two groups affected each other.
Comic Book Culture is copyright 1999, but feels like it was written in 1996 or 1997, mainly for the lack of focus on the incredible growth of manga in America and how Pokemon, DragonBall Z, and Sailor Moon are revitalizing comic book culture by bringing children back to comics. The last three years have also increased the importance of the Internet on the culture, which Pustz talks about briefly in the chapter 5. Finally, he really doesn't get much chance to focus on the rise of the graphic novel as an option for reading the medium compared to the ephemeral magazine.
As a textbook in a cultural study hybrid course, this book is perfect. For the average comic reader, it might be interesting to discover aspects of the hobby that you didn't know about. And it might just be the thing to share with parents or friends who don't understand why you keep reading Spider-Man, even though you're over 30.
Stereotyping without an real understanding.......2002-04-06
A good percentage of the evidence he presents regarding fans of the medium is anecdotal, gathered from employees of one particular comic shop in the midwest. Pustz' view of Comic Book Culture is clearly that of one who makes no real effort to understand the topic... Overall, it paints all comics fans in a negative light, which will not help the already-struggling industry in the least.
liked the concept, did not like the book.......2001-12-30
I loved the whole concept of "investigating" comic book culture but i just got bored with this book...
It might be a good book if you intend to write an essay (it reads like one long essay) but there is no theme, no story, no news, no conviction...where is the author? What is running in his head? What does he want to tell us apart from the fact that there is such a thing as "comic book culture"?
Okay...so there is a culture...why read the book?
Very good survey of the field.......2001-01-25
Are you a comic book lover surrounded by people who don't "get it" about comic books? Do you know someone who is passionate about comic books, and it's hard to understand the attraction of something more suited for children than adults? If so, this book is for you.
The author does a very good job at surveying the present-day culture around comic books. The readers of the classic superhero type of comics (Batman, Superman, etc.) are overwhelmingly male. The stories don't appeal to women very much, and women are usually portrayed as barely clothed, and with gravity-defying breasts. He also explores the rise of alternative comics (small press, or self-published, books whose subject matter can be practically anything), where female cartoonists and readers, and older readers, tend to go.
Fans tend to get very possessive about "their" character. If the writer takes things in an undesired direction, fans have no problems with saying so, in no uncertain terms. One of the things limiting the growth in popularity of comic books is the requirement on the part of the reader of comic literacy. Unless the reader can start with Issue 1, there are usually too many "in" jokes, or too many things talked about in previous issues, for the new reader to totally understand it all.
This one is very good. It covers a lot of ground, and in a way that a novice and veteran can understand. Personally, I am not much of a comic book reader, but after reading this, I think I'll visit my local comic book store to see what is on the racks.
A great introductory study.......2000-11-03
Pustz has done a wonderful job analyzing the audiences of comic books. While not as theoretical as some of the scholarly works on popular culture and its users (such as can be found on topics like film or rock and roll), this is a benefit, since it is the first for its topic. While not useful as a general history of comics (as noted by the previous reviewer), it was not intended as such, and this would be an excellent supplementary book.

This is fun.......2007-08-27
What can I say? Mark Evanier and Sergio Aragones put together? Can't beat that!! :)
A one-joke book.......2006-11-08
Finster is a comic nerd. Afraid of living his real life and of asking out any girl who might say yes, he submerges himself in his four-color world, where he interacts on a regular basis with the heroes of the DC Universe (with one exception, when he turns into a Finster-shaped Hulk). And, after learning Valuable Lessons from his imaginary encounters with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and more, he manages to solve certain problems in his life.
But it's just not that funny, for all that Finster thinks his own book is hilarious.
Created by Mark Evanier and Mad Magazine doodler Sergio Aragones, the book boasts an amazing array of guest artists who draw their iconic characters in a visual buffet of superheroic proportions. With their aid, Finster solves petty crimes, makes a stand against comic-book censorship and finds a date for the dance. But it's not a story that holds your attention unless you're really dedicated to the idea of finishing the book. OK, now that's out of the way. Anyone want my copy?
by Tom Knapp, Rambles.NET editor
a Fan of Fanboy.......2006-04-17
I enjoy the work of Sergio Aragones and Mark Evanier. The witty give and take between writer and artist was showcases in Aragones's greatest comic creation Groo.
Fanboy was a short lived DC comic mini series, now in a complete graphic Novel. It is a one joke tales that expanded into six issues under the writing talents of Evanier-IT WORKS MARVELous--well i couldn't say DC-OUS could I?
In Fanboy, the graphic novel takes a common story line and makes it fun. A Walter Mitty-ishm comic book nerd acts or reacts with his favorite DC universe heroes (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Sgt Rock) on regards to his personal real life. It a way, the heroes are from the classic DC comic eras and not the modern day (aka 2000;s gritter) comic story lines
For those comic book fans, this is a treasure, Argones does most of the art with character assists by legends Gil Kane (doing Green Lantern),Neal Adams, Frank Miller, Bruce Timm, Mike Grell, Wendy Pini, Russ Health and many others
If you like comica and a good dose of satire of your DC heroes, you will love this..if not there is always the DC Showcase series for you!

Book Description
fanboys and overdogs: the language report is a collection of the most intriguing facts and observations on the English language in recent years, and particularly in 2005. In her eminently browsable exploration of the changing face of English, Susie Dent, Countdown's dictionary expert, takes us on a journey through the most exotic and dynamic areas of the language. From the histories of words to the word on the street, this completely new volume explores how the language is changing, and gives a brand new 'Word a Year' list for 1905 to 2005. The book covers new words, and the language of technology, politics, TV, and the media. Other topics covered include foreign words and phrases, word play, word histories, dialect, spelling, and current controversies of grammar and usage. A brand-new design brings the language to life on the page, and makes the book a pleasure to read. The book is based on the ongoing research at Oxford Dictionaries, home of the Oxford English Dictionary and the largest language research programme in the world. Oxford collects and analyses literally hundreds of millions of words of real language and the findings are presented here, many of them for the first time. Compellingly informative and readable fanboys and overdogs has something for everyone interested in the English language.
