Draw & Paint Fantasy Females ReviewImpact, which publishes art instructional books, generally does a good job with the books they print; some are of better quality than others, however. "Draw and Paint Fantasy Females" is a decent how-to-draw book, but unexceptional, though it does offer a few good tips.
What this book won't tell you, and what every artist must eventually learn, is no single book will fully teach you how to draw anything, let alone the human figure. A book can give you a good start and provide some inspiration, etc., but you will need many books and years of practice before you master drawing.
With that said, Tom Fleming, the writer/artist of this book, who is obviously talented (I've seen his work in other venues previous to this book) does a decent job of outlining the process of drawing and painting the female figure. The book is divided up into five chapters and closes with a gallery of Mr. Fleming's work. It is, basically, of the "omnibus" type of how-to-draw books, which, instead of focusing on a couple of techniques, really tries to teach them all and spends about 2 pages on each. Here you'll find discussions of drawing and painting supplies and techniques, anatomy and figure construction, poses, drawing the face, hair and clothing, and also different female character archetypes (sorceress, warrior, faerie, etc.). However, each of these segments is only covered superficially, in general, though there are good tutorials and worthwhile pieces of advice sprinkled about.
Probably the most useful bit of information that is included are Mr. Fleming's techniques for drawing and painting metallic effects and for putting shine on clothing. I've never seen these very challenging topics covered so well in a book before, and those are what sold me on this purchase.
In closing, "Draw & Paint Fantasy Females" is a generally good book on drawing, but tries to do too much in too small a space. However, it is worthwhile for its excellent tips and for its general quality.Draw & Paint Fantasy Females Overview

Mental Shielding to Brush Off Hostility/Book and Cassette ReviewI found this cassette and tape to be extremely relaxing. I have always been my own worst critic but by using Dr. Driscoll's tape, I was able to work through these supercritical feelings and it made it easier to deal with other people and their hostility. I definitely recommend it.Mental Shielding to Brush Off Hostility/Book and Cassette Overview

O Pioneers ReviewCather published her second novel, O Pioneers, in 1913 at the age of 40. Together with My Antonia it is the novel for which she is best known. Years after writing the book, Cather wrote of it " Since I wrote this book for myself, I ignored all the situations and accents that were then thought to be necessary."
The book takes place on the plains of Nebraska in the late 19th Century as the Prairie is settled be Swedish, Bohemian, and French immigrants trying to eke out a living from what appears to be a harsh, inhospitable land. The heroine of the book is Alexandra Bergson who inherits her father's farm as a young woman, raises his three sons and stays with the farm through the harsh times to become a successful landowner and farmer.
The books speaks of being wedded to the land and to place. In this sense it is an instance of the American dream of a home. It also speaks of a strong woman, not in cliched, late 20th Century terms but with a sense of ambiguity, difficulty and loss.
This is a story as well of thwarted love, of the difficult nature of sexualtiy, and of human passion. There is also the beginning of what in Cather's works will become an increased sense of religion, Catholicism in particular, as a haven and a solace for the sorrow she finds at the heart of human endeavor. Above all it is a picuure of stark life in the midwest.
There is almost as much blood-letting in this short book as in an Elizabethan tragedy. Cather's picture of American life on the plains, even in her earliest books, is not an easy or simple one. Some readers may quarrel with the seemingly happy ending of the book. I don't think any will deny that Alexandra's happiness is dearly bought or that it is bittersweet.
I tendend to shy away from this book in favor of Cather's later novels. I feared that it would be conventional and trite. The stereotyping was mine,however. This is a thoughtful, well written story of immigrant life on the plains and of the sorrow pain, and strength of the American experience.O Pioneers Overview

Men: An Owner's Manual ReviewAs a mere male I found this book incredibly funny. I was fully prepared to be totally turned off by yet another devastating attack on the male psyche delivered by just one more male-hating, in-your-face, banner-waving, card-holding member of some feminist brigade. Instead, I found that Stephanie writes with warmth and wit, scoring some direct hits about both sexes.
It's a book I've gladly given as a gift to two girlfriends and now, my wife.
I agree with some other reviews - this book is a veritable classic. Why is it out of print?Men: An Owner's Manual Overview
