Everything about this book is classy. The first thing that strikes you is the size. It is approx 12x12 inches, so before you even open it you feel it is money well spent. On opening it one finds the essence of the Woodcock is captured beautifully. This is more than just a collection of Woodcock paintings/sculptures, it is a full blown celebration of one of our most beguiling species. The art work is sumptuous and to add to each piece the individual artists share their own thoughts and experiences of this wonderful bird.
I think Simon Gudgeon best sums it up at the end of his introduction;
'It is a book to be savoured by the fireside with a glass of whisky at your side and your dog at your feet.'

One of the weakest books on the subject of Instructional Design
that I have ever (regretably) purchased. The 'guide' seems to
come from a very narrow academic perspective. There's no real
practical solutions, unless you include, the endless filling
in of scheduling forms. I didn't glean anything from this or
the accompanying CD.

Starting from the Greek hydraulis, this book traces the development of the organ up to the present day. It is superbly comprehensive, and includes a large categorised bibliography for further study. The authors appear to belong to the neo-baroque school of thinking, and this is my only qualm with this book - they readily write off the romantic excesses in organ-building of the early part of this century, without acknowledging that some more recent organs swung too far the other way in their tonality. However, this is balanced by the inclusion of a section on theatre organs written originally by Reginald Foort - one of the all-time great theatre-organists, and it is touches such as this which lend this book the credibility needed to ...

The more you know about psychological theories and Winnie-the-Pooh, the more you will enjoy this book. Dr. Williams blasts away with tongue-in-cheek satire aimed at the psychologist's belief that everything that is said, thought, dreamed, and done has many layers of significance. Unfortunately, that approach means that your enjoyment will be modest if your knowledge is correspondingly limited in either area. If you know little about psychology and have not read Winnie-the-Pooh, you may not get most of the humor in the book.
In Freud-like fashion, Dr. Williams begins by descrbing the case for Winnie-the-Pooh being a super psychologist. The thrust of this argument is that Winnie employs every method ever recommended by any psychologist ... Read More:
