5-0 out of 5 stars still great after all these years
As a fellow longtime Alaska bush resident, I have long admired this book and believe it to be among the best two or three ever written on the collision between contemporary Alaska Native culture and the world Outside. This book was a masterpiece when it was written (especially those parts focusing on the life of his Yu'pik friend) and to this day remains a candidate for the most overlooked and under-read book focusing on modern Alaska Native life. No varnish or overwrought cultural worship, just an empathetic, realistic account. This book is brave and unflinching and inspired me as a writer. I wrote Carey a letter years ago telling him how much I appreciated this book and I still feel the same. Read it if you can find it. Carey and his gem of a book deserved far better than they got. --Nick Jans, contributing editor, Alaska Magazine.

5-0 out of 5 stars Good enough for me to write the author and tell him so.
This book is lyrical, yet full of the stark reality of life in Bush Alaska--and in this case, the raw bleakness and strange loveliness found uniquely on the Lower Kuskokwim River. (The memories I have of that place are stored wherever one keeps suppressed rememberances of lonely places in the mind.) I wonder if the spring floods still carry the dump down through the middle of town at Bethel ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
In the two short years since the first edition waspublished, many changes have occurred in color management. Somepioneering color management tools have been discontinued, but most ofthe tools have been improved, and many new tools have been introduced.

The new second edition, which brings the reader up to date on those changes, discusses a range of topics essential to the successful implementation of color management, including: an introduction to color management; an overview of color theory; closed-loop color; color measurement instruments; scanner,monitor, and printer characterization and calibration; software; workflow; visual color evaluation; and tools. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars good colour theory, but lots of filler
The first half of this book is a good introduction to colour theory, though it could be a little intimidating to the colour novice. The rest of it seems to be a product catalog, though if that's what you need it excels there. There's useful bits about configuring color management for various applications but little about how you actually *use* this technology in print production. It's also very expensive, but considering how little published information on color management exists, it's not too unreasonable.

5-0 out of 5 stars Why doesn't the color match??? Read this book!
Dr. Richard Adams and Joshua Weisberg have succeeded where many (if notmost) books on color reproduction fail. The GATF Practical Guide to ColorManagement simplifies color reproduction and gives you the one sourceyou'll need to generate color easily, accurately, and without frustration.Every desktop or high-end color publisher MUST get this book. And, ifyou're in doubt... just remember that GATF has been a leader in printingand graphic arts technical sciences for more than 74 years. They not onlywrote the book --- they ARE the book.( 1998 Editor's Choice AWARD Winner,The Design & Publishing Center, Graphic-Design.com ) ... Read more

Product Description
General Richard Henry Pratt, best known as the founder and longtime superintendent of the influential Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, profoundly shaped Indian education and federal Indian policy at the turn of the twentieth century.Pratt's long and active military career included eight years of service as an army field officer on the western frontier.During that time he participated in some of the signal conflicts with Indians of the southern plains, including the Washita campaign of 1868-1869 and the Red River War of 1874-1875.He then served as jailor for many of the Indians who surrendered.His experiences led him to dedicate himself to Indian education, and from 1879 to 1904, still on active military duty, he directed the Carlisle school, believing that the only way to save Indians from extinction was to remove Indian youth to nonreservation settings and there inculcate in them what he considered civilized ways.

Pratt's memoirs, edited by Robert M. Utley and with a new foreword by David Wallace Adams, offer insight into and understanding of what are now highly controversial turn-of-the-century Indian education policies. ... Read more

Product Description
It is July 18, 1861 near Winchester, Virginia. The Civil War has begun, and Confederate Lieutenant John Pelham, formerly of the West Point Class of 1861, is about to confront his former classmates in the First Battle of Bull Run. The confident Pelham bears little resemblance to the seventeen-year-old who journeyed alone five years earlier from Jacksonville, Alabama, to West Point, New York, to enter the United States Military Academy. As the class begins its final year, Pelham meets Clara Bolton, a Philadelphian belle who captures his heart. In the months that follow, Pelham and his classmates witness the unraveling of the Union and the birth of the Confederacy, against the political backdrop of slavery and states rights, the Democratic and Republican Parties, the fire-eaters of the South and the abolitionists of the North.

5-0 out of 5 stars A wonderful tale, beautifully illustrated
I bought this book for the illustrations. As an illustrator myself, I buy quite a few children's books just to savor the pictures.

But this one yielded a great surprise - a classic tale of a valiant 'shippe's cat,' set in Elizabethan times. I dohope it is published again someday.

5-0 out of 5 stars I love this book, rich language, wonderful rhyme, extraodinary illustratons
This book is fabulous - and highly recommended. This book has kept my children (two preschoolers) fascinated. The illustrations are richly detailed, gorgeous colours, and full of things which invite question and discussion.

The rhyme itself is a rollicking yarn about a cat on a boat in Drake's time which is captured by Spaniards - the cat is put in a Spanish dungeon and escapes.

Wonderfully whimsical writing from Adams, rich use of language which extends your children further, and enough for them to leaf through and look at on their own. Highly enjoyable to read to them as it has a children's and an adults level.

This is one book I would recommend having in your children's library to read for them! They will love it!

5-0 out of 5 stars Lost Treasure
Really a pity to see such a treasure of a book out-of-print.I grew up with Dad reading this to me (am now 25) and the challenge of its language and verse, not to mention exquisitley curious art, broadens a child's horizon's far more than the PC drivel we print today.

Too bad I can't find a mint copy anywhere :/

5-0 out of 5 stars Fantastically illustrated
I have a copy of this book. It is exquisitely illustrated by Alan Aldridge, who illustrated for The Beatles.

Celtic lettering of unparalleled quality.

4-0 out of 5 stars Delightful children's book

Product Description
"... einer der begabtesten Menschen unseres Jahrhunderts", schreibt Goethe uber Adam Friedrich Oeser, seinen Erzieher in asthetischen Dingen. Sei es in der Lehre, der Ikonographie, der Buchillustration oder Fragen des Geschmacks - der Leipziger Akademiedirektor ist als wichtiger Neuerer in der zweiten Halfte des 18. Jahrhunderts zu bewerten."Das Evangelium des Schonen, mehr noch des Geschmackvollen und Angenehmen", so Goethe, habe ihm sein Zeichenlehrer Adam Friedrich Oeser vermittelt, der von 1764 bis 1799 Direktor der Leipziger Zeichnungs-Mahlerey- und Architectur-Academie war. Oeser vertrat eine umfassende Geschmacksreform, entwickelte als Akademiedirektor neue Unterrichtsmethoden und offnete die Akademie fur Handwerk und Industrie. Die Schaulust des Lesers stimulierte er durch die Buchillustration und erwies sich als Schopfer einer neuartigen fruhaufklarerischen Ikonographie. In seinen Portrats war er der Vertreter einer Seelenmalerei, in der die psychologische Prasenz und Glaubwurdigkeit mehr zahlte als die imponierende Pose. Wie kaum ein zweiter in der deutschen Kunst des 18. Jahrhunderts reprasentiert Oeser das Neue in einer geschichtlichen Phase des Umbruchs, doch beeindruckte er auch als Individuum. Seine Menschenfreundlichkeit, Uneigennutzigkeit und Warmherzigkeit machen ihn zu einem Prototypen des neuen Weimarer Personlichkeitsideals.In seinem Schaffen nehmen die virtuosen Zeichnungen einen besonderen Stellenwert ein. 55 Arbeiten aus dem Museum der bildenden Kunste in Leipzig werden im vorliegenden Katalog vorgestellt. Ein einleitender Beitrag wurdigt Oeser als Reformer und zugleich Lehrer beruhmter Schuler. ... Read more
