Build your house of earth: A manual of pisé and adobe construction

Middleton, G. F

From ancient architecture to everyday life; from myths and legends to historic places of natural beauty; from priceless artifacts to annual festivals and ceremonies; from performing arts to famous people, China has a myriad of iconic symbols that make up a historic and significant civilization whose longevity rivals any in the West. Chinese symbols have a much more pervasive and complicated role than one might think at first sight: their study reveals not just their individual meanings, but also offers insight into divergent Chinese patterns of thought and cosmic views. Symbols of China provides an introduction to this immensely complex and fascinating subject. The book seeks to open a door to a world where for many, Chinese symbolic language is a second tier of communication, frequently richer in nuances of meaning than everyday speech and writing.

The Café Creme Guide to the Cafés of Europe features over 800 cafés in 90 towns and cities in 16 countries throughout Europe. A team of researchers covered thousands of miles, sipped gallons of coffee and nibbled on tons of snacks to ensure that the Guide offers a complete cross-section of cafés which together reflect the ever increasing interest in café culture, led by the desire to relax, take a break and socialize in informal surroundings Each of the 800 entries has something else to add: it could be the location, the decor, the history or some other special feature. And whatever its qualities, a café is nothing without its staff and its customers. This full color beautifully illustrated book will appeal to all interested in the wonderful "café culture" that makes any trip to the major cities of Europe such a treat. The author, Roy Ackerman, is a restaurateur, author, television presenter and chef. He has written numerous books, including: The Ackerman Guide, The Chef's Compendium, The Chef's Apprentice and many others.

The first in a new series, The Art of Painting Miniatures: Faces and Figures provides a fresh look at the art of figure painting. The content is this book is a result of 30 years hands-on experience, critical observation, experimentation and enhancement of what works. The step-by-step painting process will elevate your level of figure painting from a poorly painted face to a realistic one. The goal is to give the figure, in particular the head and face, serious and artistic treatment, emphasizing skin tones, character development and realism. This book is dedicated to the beginner as well as the experienced modelers, who feel a need to tell a story using figures in their vignettes and dioramas; to the textile painters who paint uniforms, banners, flags and other accessories with great detail and but need the concept and techniques to improve their face and figure work; to the advance modeler who understands his level of expertise and depends on another at his level to paint the figures for his dioramas; for the experienced modelers who want to elevate the level of their figures, and learn how to critically look and improve their face and figure work; and lastly, for the masters, these concepts will deepen and drive their techniques to a more profound level of realism.
