A must have!
In one word: brilliant!
It tells you all there's to know about the graphics behind, in front and on the Wall.
As a Pink Floyd fan the only reason not to buy this book is being broke because you bought to many tickets to the 2010/2011 the Wall tour...

Great Book For Floyd Fans
Gerry's book provides a great in-depth look into the design process that went into The Wall album, stage show, and movie (also includes pre and post-Wall material, including art for Roger Waters' current tour). HIGHLY recommended to any Floyd fan.

The book is full-colour and full of great pictures & illustrations.

The memories, the music, the madness, the Wall!
An enjoyable read and visual from Gerald Scarfe's perspective describing his classic drawings and directed animation that brought so much of Roger Water's The Wall to such enriching life.Scarfe describes the manner in which he began working with Pink Floyd and there is considerable amount of discussions between Scarfe and Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason.Just saw Roger Water's rendition of The Wall live in Cleveland last week and Scarfe's visuals continue to astound.Looking forward to seeing more of the same in St. Louis, Columbus and Detroit.The visuals simply enhance the music and this book gives the opportunity to understand how it all came together from initial inspirations for the Wish You Were Here tour thru The Wall and solo Waters material.If you enjoy The Wall and its visuals (includes some concert photos from the 1980 and 1981 tour), or the cult favorite movie - read and enjoy the visuals of this book.If you really enjoy The Wall or have even a passive interest in same, see Roger Water's tour of The Wall.It's extremely enjoyable and unlike anything you've seen (unless you've seen Pink Floyd or Waters before).Sorry for getting sidetracked, but you can maximize your experience. Check this book out. ... Read more

mildly helpful
One of the good points about this book is that it is inexspensive. But a downside is that there are alot of typos probably over 30, and it's a very short book for so many typos.Most of the book isn't anything you dont know if you look on the internet, there is a description the the cpat, and he mentions written exams. I didn't learn what it's like to be a firefighter only that it took the author 5 years to become one. The best part of the book in my opinion is the description of the ideas behind the oral interview questions, which is something that is important to be prepared for. But why so many typos I'm begining to think I know why it took 5 years.

Finally, a book to tell us not only how to become a career firefighter, but also what firefighting life is about.
Being a career firefighter, I am often asked how to become a firefighter. Finally there's a book that gives those interested in becoming a firefighter a step by step logical process to that great career. Roger goes into details about what departemtns look for in a candidate and a potential employee. This book is full of great advice from a common sense prospective that is easy to read and follow.
Good Job, I will reference all future inquires to this book ... Read more

Hard to find but worth it!
A U.K. book with a 2 Roger Waters interviews (1975 and 1982) and COMPLETE LYRICS by Roger Waters for Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and the Wall. Includes black and white photographs from THE WALL concert and other interesting, somewhat surreal photographs!

Well worth seeking out.

A great music book for an even better album
In overall a really nice addition to my music library. Be warned that no guitar tabs are included (just chords diagrams).

A thoughtful moralwork
Waters has made an excellent solo album in this(his most recent solo offereing). He has always been a master of the song concept and the concept album, but here he ties together the problems of our ninties world in mediascams and self-centredness. He hits the nail on the head with 'WatchingT.V.' - remember the death of Princess Diana yearsafter this album'srelease! Certainly the media turn our attentions to their subjects and awayfrom others which they do not choose. The golden dollar, of course, is theincentive.

The music is less Floyd cliche than Gilmour's modern'Momentary Lapse/Division Bell' works, as waters gives himself room forexperimentation (hence he has just finished an opera!!)

Waters seems tohave got over his ego problems and accepted his status as an intriguingwordsmith/songwriter who can still shock and surprise even his faithfulfan-base. Continued references to war, however, are getting a little dull-I thought he had dealt with these issues on disc on 'The Final Cut'!However, this is still a great album, and indeed 'one in the eye' forerstwhile band-mates!

This book solves the enigma of the 'ampf cd' - excellent!!
Not witstanding the whole 'strong cheese' story, Roger has outdone himself once again with this inspired album and highly anticipated book. not as good as his work on TDB and MLoR, but you can really feel his wholepersonal reflections and ties come strong through this work.A perfectcompanion to all the music - one can feel the movement of his personal tiesto that certain 'sphinx' ... excellent! ...

Must read for serious boaters
Great book, more for sailers than powerboaters but a must read for any serious boater. Lots of food for thought.

The must-have book on surviving storms at sea
This is easily the most comprehensive book on the subject in print. The author is incredible thorough and presents the subject from every angle. It's the one book or first book to have on surviving storms at sea. Well illustrated, too.

Informative and interesting
i was impressed by the author's depth of knowledge and the fact he didn't purport to be a pompous know it all. he cites other mariner's experiences to make his point, and to make it a more lively read. I keep my copy nearby as a reference. think seamanship. ... Read more

Product Description
This book is the first book on nuclear magnetic resonance study of water in food and biological materials. The authors present the methodology, research, and development results of qualitative and quantitative analysis of water in foods and biological materials using NMR and MRI. This book provides the latest NMR and MRI techniques for those researchers who have an interest in relationships between water and: *chemical reactivity *microbial activity *physiochemical properties and changes *structural properties and changes in foods and biological materials In addition, the authors emphasize experimental techniques and data interpretation skills for the study of mobility of water and its role in processing and storage of foods and biological materials. Authors Ruan and Chen explain how the "state of water" concept will greatly add to the reader's understanding of the role of water in chemical, physical and microbial changes occurring in foods and biological materials. Understanding the relationships between water and chemical reactivity, microbial activity, and physiochemical and structural properties and changes in foods is an important key to effective food R&D, as well as quality control in processing and storage. This book provides advanced information on these relationships using the tools of NMR and MRI. Emphasis is placed on experimental techniques and data interpretation skills for the study of mobility of water and its role in processing and storage of foods. Many new techniques and applications are examined. More than 140 schematics, images and graphs illustrate NMR/MRI principles, techniques, applications and results. ... Read more
