Book Description
Description: Dune collects, for the first time, the sand dune photographs of both Edward and Brett Weston, two giant names in modern photography. Previously, their remarkable dune photographs--dramatic abstractions of light and shadow and sensuous shape--were featured as samples in overview publications on the artists, just a picture here and there. This lush volume brings together father and son in a personal, unique fashion, showcasing the photographs each made in the same locations. Adding depth is an original essay by Brett Weston's longtime friend, traveling companion and biographer, John Charles Woods. Woods' intimate, forthcoming narrative describes what it was like to accompany the younger Weston into the dunes and what his habits and personality were like. Charis Wilson, Edward Weston's one-time wife, excerpts a passage from her acclaimed book Through Another Lens, in which she tells of a 1936 trip she and her husband made to the dunes of Oceano, California. Also included are correspondence between father and son, and excerpts from Edward Weston's daybooks. ... Read more

Super, but not perfect...
Lovely book with satin pages.Material a little samey in some respects but interesting (slight) contrast in styles neatly illustrated.Minimalist, a little text but I am glad I own it.Not a knockout, but enjoyable and a pleasure to own.Certainly opened my eyes and will be a valued part of my collection.

Magnificent Book!
Without doubt one of the most magnificent books related to photography ever published. The Westston's photgraphs are out of and well beyong the realm of "pictures"-- the treatment of the photographs and Kust Markus' text and treatment of the Weston's works reverantly rings true and honest, no pretentious drivel here!

Outstanding
What a terrific book on the 2 great masters of 20th century photography. A joy to read and the reproductions of the Dunes are some of the best I have seen in any book on EW or BW.Highly recommended for the collector of Westons and others.A real treasure and I keep on opening it to view such beautiful images. ...

A good book, but not great.
Fire of God: John G. Lake in Spokane (Pillars of the Faith) by Brett Alan Wyatt is a good and informative book.I enjoyed much of this book, but some of the information has already been printed in The Complete Collection of His Life Teachings of John G. Lake. Lake is by far one of my favorites.He had a spiritual depth and insight like no other.His analytical mind coupled with the powerful anointing of the Holy Ghost took him to new and exciting realms that only few have travelled.As you read of his amazing life you will be encouraged and challeged to belief the Lord for the miraculous.Each time I read his teachings I come away deeply blessed and desiring to experience more of the Spirit filled life.His teachings are always full of faith and life and miracles. Read Lake, his life, his teachings, and then go out and truly live.This book brings out some new and exciting information.I enjoyed it and would recommend it to any born again Christian that wants to know about John G. Lake, his life and ministry.He definitely was a modern day Apostle of faith that made a major impact in this world for Jesus Christ.

New--Never Published Before --Material on Dr.Lake
Fire of God, John G. Lake in Spokane is an inspiring, insiteful look into the life of this incredible man of God.Brett Alan Wyatt shares new, never published before material from interviews he had personally with some of Dr. Lake's contemporaries.This book will be required reading for our healing teams as we carry on the ministry of John G. Lake here in Spokane...........

This is the defining standard for books on Dr. Lake
Remarkable! It is truly refreshing to read a book that not only shows a great Man's Triumphs but also his Flaws and Humanity. This author has compiled information and written a book unlike any other on Dr Lake.
My hat is off to you Mr. Wyatt for a well-crafted piece of written history.
I would strongly recommend this grand book. ... Read more

Book Description
The Index Britanniae Scriptorum, in which Bale zealously collected materials at a date when materials were accessible which in a few years more were scattered and largely lost, is invaluable to students and editors of medieval texts, and current renewed interest in 16th- (and 17th-) century antiquarian scholarship makes Bale's work much consulted nowadays. It has, however, been long unobtainable outside Rare Books rooms of university libraries, and its reappearance here, with a new introduction by James Carley, will be widely welcomed by medievalists. ...

A shame the book is out of print.
Now that George Brett has finally been elected to the Hall of Fame (with the 4th highest vote total in history no less), interest in reading about this baseball immortal is at a high and it's very unfortunate thatGarrity's book is no longer in print.The book was written after Brett'swonderful 1980 season, when he captured the hearts of America with hisquest to become the first player to hit .400 since Ted Williams did it in1941.The book's a great look into the life of a player on the brink ofsuperstardom.It'd be great now to get a book on Brett's entire career,because many of his highlights occurred after the '80 season.If you're aBrett fan, I strongly urge you to find this book!

Product Description
Knock knock. Who's there? More trolls to add to Brett's canon. Apparently, the trouble with trolls is that they're always making trouble. Luckily, they never get any smarter. In this Arctic story, a shy Finnmark girl fends off lurking trolls with help from a traveling boy and his pet polar bear. An icy landscape shimmers under the northern lights while bright Scandinavian frocks and household items give the scenery a kicky dash of color. Brett simultaneously reveals another angle of her tale via intricately designed side panels that frame the main event. The lifelike polar bear, both hulking and docile, is a scene-stealer. ...
