Not enthusiastic
I bought and then returned this book.From the description I expected a guide with detail about the different schools and programs, as well as inside information on the schools.Instead, the book contains a couple pages about audition procedures (a much better description is in the Performing Arts Major's College Guide) accompanied by basic information that is easily available off of the school websites (location, number of students plus number of students majoring in the discipline, teacher/student ratios, etc.).It was impossible to tell which programs had a good reputation or better quality.Save your money, and get the information off of the school websites. ...

A Good Guide
This book is easy to read and use. As the author of an inspirational book for mothers, NEW PSALMS FOR NEW MOMS: A KEEPSAKE JOURNAL, I encourage everyone to seek the spiritual. And this guide will be handy as you do just that. Many blessings on your journey.

Not What I Expected
If you are looking for a directory on CHRISTIAN spiritual retreats, then this book is for you. However, for those of us looking for a spiritual, yet non-religious experience, then this guide is not helpful. I was hoping this directory would help me find spiritual retreats embracing a variety of practices. It did not. Otherwise, it is a well-organized and thorough guide within its narrow focus.

Pratical and Accurate
I ahve found this book to have accurate andc orrect information.SO far on the retreat centers listed all information given has been correct anda ccurate.Also even if you never go on a retreat gives you a real feel forwhat a retreat would be like.One can sense the "peace" from thereview. Hoever after reading this you will be even more inclined to want togo on a retreat. ... Read more

MY FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK OF ALL TIME
This is a classic. If you're even looking at this page it's obvious this book is a must. What other book on the planet has pictures of Black Flag, Public Enemy and Z-Boy Jay Adams?
Fuck You Heroes
Glen E. Friedman, the author and photographer of this great book documents fifteen years of this country's various subcultures--subcultures that have now for the most part become mainstream: skateboarding, punk rock, and rap.Glen was there in the early days, with his camera, making sure the importance of these cultures/lifestyles/movements were remembered.And Glen was not just some clueless journalist; he was part of the scene that he put together in the book. Anyone that has seen the great film Z-Boys of Dogtown knows Glens passion for his work and his subjects.Great book.Now I need to buy his other ones...

A Monologue on Energy
Glen E. Friedman has been capturing the high voltage energy of today's youth and those who speak to them for a long time. In this very interesting collection of photographs he manages to focus (pardon the pun) on skateboarders, rappers, the guys who hang out on the streets all living on the edge.The energy he captures is inimitable.Reading this book immediately after viewing the museum exhibition of Jean-Michel Basquiat makes it all ring true.These may be the remembered commentators and artists of tomorrow.But for now, this is a worthwhile journey into subcultures you may not know.Grady Harp, July 05 ...

Duncan the hateful
As the title of Miss Duncan's book suggest, she sees the museums as almost religious institutions that entice the visitor to "enact a performance of some kind". Their very identity and meaning are constructed through this ritualistic practice, which is neither natural nor neutral. In the introduction the author states that she has no ambition in propagating what an art museum should be. In fact she does not indicate if she has such a clear cut ideal thought-out at all. The purpose of her research is to see, decipher and describe. There are, it turns out, two ways - two ideals in fact - a museum is presented to the public: the educational museum and the aesthetic museum. The first type proposes to educate the visitor, treating the exhibits as "art-historical objects", while in the second they are unique, original works of art to be reflected upon by the sophisticated guest, sheltered by the museum. Duncan insists that either way, all this happens in a "ritual-like" atmosphere, and that is what she wants to prove in her book. She deals with this aspect specifically in the first chapter. The older museums were practically all built in a style that consciously copied the architecture of old Greek and Roman temples and were often compared to them. The visitor, already mentally prepared for an enlightening experience, would receive (in a seemingly "objective" and disinterested package) rational and verifiable knowledge - a truth that is so obvious as to be irrefutable, when in fact it is highly subjective and hierarchical.
Review
Excellent working with seller, received item very fast!Would definitely recommend business with this seller.

Informative and Easy to Read
Dr. Duncan's books discusses the history of art museums and focusses in on some notable, present day museums.Her approach combines the traditional art historian view with a sociological view.Art is not created in avacuum and reflects the society it lives within.Duncan's approach givesus insight into why some artwork is accepted while other artwork isnot.Read more
