techniques
are
used.
The
second half illustrates themes of
professional work, and how they exemplify various techniques and
design
concepts.
To
a
total
beginner,
this
book
is
filled
with
detailed
steps
and
explanations,
but
does
not
qualify
as
a
first
how-to
book.
The examples and pictures describe brush technique well enough,
but
do
little
to
enlighten
how
and
where
the
masking
is
applied
and
removed.
The
photos
range
from
simple
to
enticing,
and
are
a
good
basis
for
practice
ideas
and
experimenting
with
the
airbrush.
To
an
intermediate airbrush artist, the techniques are a good example of
method, and may help round out a repertoire of skills. Vivid
selections
of
advanced
professional
airbrush
work
cry
out
for
a
more
advanced book of technique combinations.

In 1415, the judicial murder of the religious reformer Jan Hus sparked
a
major uprising in Bohemia. His death led within a few years to the
'Hussite' revolution against the monarchy, the German aristocracy
and
the
Church
establishment.
For
two
decades
the
largely
peasant
Hussite
armies
successfully
defied
a
series
of
international 'crusades';
they owed many of their victories to the charismatic general Jan
Zizka,
and his
novel
tactical
methods based on the use of 'war
wagons'.
This
remarkable
episode
in
medieval
warfare
is
remembered
not
only
as
the
Czech
national
epic,
but as an
important
forerunner to the wars of the Reformation the following century.

win
the
prize
(if
such
a
prize were offered) for the corporate leader of
the century. As the title indicates, this is a compendium of the key
elements
of Welch's thinking on business, presented in an A-to-Z
format. Given General Electric's ability to enter new markets and
sustain growth, there is a lot to be learned from Welch. The book,
however, does contain a number of flaws. With respect to Welch's
philosophy of Six Sigma, key concepts such as root cause analysis,
control charts, and Pareto analysis are mistakenly presented as if
they
are
new
and
developed
though
Six
Sigma.
Overall,
though,
the
book provides the most concise and complete rendering of Jack
Welch's
business
initiatives. Recommended for general audiences
and business collections.

Europe dictated that a man's greatest virtues were physical strength,
skill at arms, bravery, daring, loyalty to the chieftain and solidarity
within the tribe. The primitive Church had been diametrically opposed
to such ideals, however by the early 8th century the Church had
grown

the

a

The

The
three
Punic
Wars
lasted
nearly
100
years,
from
264
BC
to
146
BC.
They
represented
a
struggle
for
supremacy
in
the
Mediterranean
between
the
bludgeoning
land
power of Rome, bent on imperial
conquest,
and
the
great
maritime
power
of
Carthage
with
its
colonies
and
trading
posts
spread
around
the
Mediterranean.
This
book
reveals
how
the
dramas
and
tragedies
of
the
Punic
Wars
exemplify
many political and military lessons which are as relevant today as
when
Hannibal
and
Scipio
Africanus
fought
to
determine
the
course of
history in the Mediterranean.
