a delightful treat
Most people have heard of William Wegman and the photographs of his dogs. But they don't know that he also paints and draws in addition to making photos and videos. This book is a collection of his drawings, which are wonderful, clever, little imaginings. With the same witty humor as his photographs, Wegman has created this little treasury of intelligent drawings. I highly recommend it for any appreciator of art and/or querky fun.
cliche...
To cut it short..a waste of time especially author's time. Hardly anything You didn't know (girls like to play with dolls and boys don't like to play with dolls) a lot of stating the obvious..boring boring and once again boring. Not reccomended at all.
TL
This book is chaulk full of time honored science. I can think of one lady whom was an engineer. When I asked her why she was the secretary... she said chemistry is not my thing. The guys are so much better at it. We waste out money pushing sex. Russia figured that out a long time ago. They don't waste their money funding universities which a sexist agenda. Women are more empathetic; now there is a new fact. Wow! We pay staff way to much money. Of course it was the UK that stated we can grow marigolds in moon dust. Wonder what the Chinese are working on these days? Oh ya, they are kicking our butt; their only limit being over population and food. Wait a minute... the UK is an Island?
new way to understanding Autistic children
i am thrilled to read this book, Prof Cohen's new book is like a sunshine into darkness, it will give us very needed help to understand what is in mind of those little Autistic children. we should know how are their brains working so that we can help them to develope all their unfound talents. I am a true believer that Autistic children are not only smart kids, they also could be becaming very sucessful scientists or professionals. Their future may all start from how we as parents understand how their brians work.
Unsatisfactory
Perhaps I have been unlucky and acquired a CD not typical of the Chandos production quality but my copy is dreadful. The second movement of the B flat Sextet sounds like La Folia being played in the deep end of a swimming pool.Not good at all. The unda maris affects aside, the performers seem to do well with what, by Brahms's standards, is rather indifferent material more in the vein of Louis Spohr than the mature Johannes Brahms.
It works but not that well...
Build quality is somewhat disappointing but then you get what you paid for, right? I am basically going to use it only for my digital camera so I am not too concerned about it not being stable enough... but I AM concerned about the fact that it looks like it will break apart in a year. All the knobs are made of very cheap plastic and they are pain the neck to manipulate. The quick release plates are HUGE!!! I am giving it a 2 star because it basically works... nothing fancy but it does what it's supposed to do, just not that well...
