Some string exercises that build momentum, visualization, and skill.

A easy and informative guide into drawing faces and portraits in different styles.

An informal introduction to facilities management. A bit anecdotal/biographical, a bit educational, a bit coaching, a bit reference.

Informative and comprehensive text on compensation. It is an industry standard. Covering all standard and alternative pay schemes as well as important laws that impact pay. A must for anyone learning about compensation as well as anyone designing pay systems and/or creating pay policies.

This sometimes dry book is quite comprehensive. It was the definitive history for a time based on what I've read about the book. I read it with the idea that it it is a history book and a historical cultural reference because it is evident it was writtten during a specific time from a specific cultural perspective. A very worthwhile read especially when compare to new history books that aren't as Anglo Euro.

I thought it was a book about writing about art from a critical view but it's a book about writing about your own art and creating articles, personal statements that hone your vision and teaches how to describe that vision in a way that relates to everyone else and specific groups of people like gallery owners, buyers, etc. the book is well written and the advice is spot on. Well worth it.

The author writes sensationally and is overwrought but delivers good information about the marketing world and builds a solid case of why consumers should always have a good level of distrust for anything that smacks of advertising, publicity, advertorial. Much of it won't be new for anyone with an awareness of the industry but may be reminded we need to keep our eyes open.
