(Um...Where is the purple?)
『I like this book, my daughter likes this book, but I don't understand why they would include all of the primary and secondary colors except purple? Well, ok, the Zebra on the front is purple. The Baby Van Gogh dvd has a whole section on purple...other than that, its a very nice book...』

(beautiful and creative)
『We checked this out at the library and it is my favorite Baby Einstein book. My almost 2 y/o son seems to really like the cut outs and pictures too. It's nice to see famous art included as well as photographs. Illustrations some times seem a little too infantile, even if they are for infants, to learn to identify real things. This book is fun for kids and can be used to teach all kinds of things.』

(My baby sticks to this book.)
『My boy is 4 months old. He is very energetic.
He is very quiet when he reads(?) this book.
It has good color and mood. It is not simple so we can use long time.』


(Contains Adult Themes)
『This book is absolutely lovely with its art and display of colors. However, and I'm not one whose mind travels to lascivious thoughts in many situations, much less reading a children's book, the color red is portrayed in en extremely sexual manner. Just something to keep in mind.』

(Wonderful Book For Learning Colors...)
『I bought this book so I can start teaching my 18 month old daughter colors. I think it's fantastic. Each color has a piece of artwork that goes with it; which I love and then it shows different items that go with the color. Not only is it good for teaching colors, but it's good because it teaches words for everyday objects. My daughter can point out various things in the book. I highly recommend this book!』
『Open baby's eyes to the magic and beauty of color in the world around them. This unique visual board book features a Peek-A-Boo window that invites young children to see all the amazing things each color can be! Bold photos of colorful real life objects, accompanied by photographs of art masterpieces create a unique and pleasurable learning visual experience.』

(Eyecandy of great inspirational and practical value.)
『This is the second volume, following The Designer's Guide To Color Combination. I own both and regularly browse them, just for pleasure or for practical use.

For artists, designers and the general public interested in color combinations, this marvellous book offers a cross cultural approach to the use of color. Each page depicts an artists piece, which may be paintings, illustration or fabric, with a small description and why the color use is interesting. The main colors in the piece are then broken down into CMYK and RGB values. (For non computer artists: this means the values you have to type in graphic software to get the colors depicted).

And if all this is not enough, there is also a second example on each page with a variation on the palette of the main piece, but with the main colors structured in a different way, which may give another mood.

Add to each page, even more creatieve variations on the main piece, and you get an enormous amount of color combinations.

However, this book will not teach you color theory. The author takes a intuitive subjective approach which does not go any further than 'this is eye catching'. But when you are from the school 'I don't mind about the theory, just show me the pictures', this book is simply the best you can get.

If there is one negative thing I could say about this book: because the RGB and CMYK values are given for each piece it would be even more practical for computer users to add a cd, so they could straight away add all the palettes as files to their graphic software.

Apart from this: this is book which you'll browse and browse again.』

(A Great Time-Waster (I Mean That in the Best Way))
『A practical book, a beautiful book and a wonderful resource. Even if you have no need for a graphic design book, this would make a great coffee table book to impress your friends. For the graphic designer, fresh color combinations can (and have for me) changed the direction of an entire project. I work with small business clients in a wide range of businesses and have found this book invaluable for starting new projects, establishing an identity or finding a few neat color combos for a flyer. This book is worth the money!』

(Global Color)
『This book looks beautiful and does have many color combinations to inspire. I was disappointed by the lack of information on the background of why the countries covered would favor the colors they do. Also, Canada was not covered and sarcasm written about their tardy submission-so all Canadians should suffer because of this? The book would be useful if you have a number of color references already as this uses a different approach.』

(A must for any visual artist)
『Along with its companion book in the series - The Designer's Guide to Color Combinations, The Designer's Guide to "Global" Color Combinations forms an essential reference for any visual artist or print publisher. I recommend these books to my students for their concept, storyboarding, color design, and animation layout work.

Each page breaks down a period, era, or style, and analyzes its color makeup with color and contrast swatches, CMYK data for each color, and a series of various combinations that are possible using the specified palette.

An artist could spend hours testing and comparing colors. Or they could look through these pages and find a color scheme in minutes.』

(Pretty, but not helpful)
『The first in this series was a marvelous reference book. This one, however, seems more of an excuse for the author to "write" rather than illustrate color usage. The examples in the book are adequate, but not as comprehensive of a treatment of the various geographical locations represented as one would like. The commentary is superfluous and at times irritating.

Not a bad reference for color combo inspiration, but overall disappointing and does not live up to its predecessor.』
『Following up on the popular Designer's Guide to Color Combinations, this book is certain to be an endless source of ideas and instruction for designers, illustrators and creative professionals in all fields. It features original designs from various regions around the world and examines their use of type and color. From Africa and Asia to Europe and the Middle East, readers will find dozens of fascinating pieces on display. Each design is carefully analyzed to show how and why it "works." The author also makes recommendations about which colors' should be used for type, border, background, etc. These suggestions, along with exact CMYK and RGB percentages for each design, will save designers much valuable time should they choose to incorporate the featured color combinations into their own work - a huge benefit for this audience.』

(Way Too Pricey for the Topic, Even as a Textbook)
『The two-star rating refers primarily to the ridiculous price. The book is obviously marketed at this price as a textbook, although I see it in Borders and B&N (alongside the other books on the shelf, this one is outstanding only because of its price). While the content is accurate and well presented, there are any number of other books available that do as well with the material at half, a third, or even less price. Itten is always a solid choice - and never a bad one. He is still the defining author on this topic and his books are classics.

Nice to look through, one notices that the pages are thin enough to allow leakthrough from the other side of each page. At this price, it should certainly be printed on heavier paper.

My daughter had this text in a recent class, but the instructor was gracious enough to suggest that students seek earlier editions at much lower prices. This instructor is among the enlightened few. Many instructors/professors have little or no idea how costly are the materials they list for students to use in their courses.

College/university faculty need to wake up and pay attention to this issue of textbook pricing, even if they are authors of the books!』


(Mystery of Color Solved For Me!)
『This book was required text for a color theory class I took recently. For years I've been looking for information on color but could not find anything beyond the basics, usually associated with painting/art books. This book is all- encompassing: information about various color theories, perceptions of color, color and light, color in printing and more. It is full of examples, pictures, graphs, charts. I came away with the information that I knew must be out there! I would recommend this book to any color student. Mine is dog-eared!』

(Brilliant book on Color Theory!)
『This book is a must read for anyone studying the visual arts.

This is a brilliant book. He is a brilliant artist. I studied under Paul Zelanski at the University of Connecticut, School of Fine Art. He used to have a lot of fun with us during class critiques. A favorite saying of his was "You know, there is no such thing as an ugly color. But THIS... THIS comes pretty close (pointing to something hanging on the studio wall)!" Then he'd launch into a wondeful dissertation on the theory and practice of color. I learned a great deal from him. You will too from his book.』

(Very nice, but more of a textbook.)
『This book has some lovely interiors and color combination ideas, but it's more of a textbook and has many pages devoted to color spectrum charts and the science of color. I read about it in a well-known home decorating magazine which described it as one of the best books for decorating with color, but I really found it a little too technical. If you are a design student, it would probably be more appropriate.』

(A good beginner's handbook)
『This book is good for those who have limited background in color theory and want a concise history of color. Most of the book discusses color from cave to modern and contemporary periods culminating with applications to decorating. The color plates are good examples of the content being presented. Certainly a good handbook for a beginner.』
『Color has always played an important role in interior design, from the earth-toned halls of ancient Cretan palaces to the bright surfaces of modern homes. Yet most people are largely unaware of the way in which color affects their surroundings. In this comprehensive introduction, readers discover the impact that color has on the way they see the world and learn how to effectively use color to beautify their environment.

With a wealth of information and images, the book is divided into three parts: a history of interiors from the perspective of color systems, an easy-to-understand outline of color theory and its underlying science, and a practical guide to using color to enhance interior settings and create specific effects. From James McNeill Whistler's Peacock Room in Washington D.C., to Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye in provincial France, to a Prairie-style interior by Frank Lloyd Wright, Ethel Rompilla shows how color creates the world in which we live. This lavishly illustrated volume is an indispensable and accessible guide for the professional and amateur decorator alike. AUTHOR BIO: Ethel Rompilla is a professor of color theory at the New York School of Interior Design in Manhattan, as well as a highly regarded interior designer. She lives in New York City. The New York School of Interior Design is an accredited school of interior design offering programs leading to undergraduate and graduate degrees in interior design. The school is located in New York City.』

(True Photography)
『Technical finesse obviously doesn't matter to Mark Cohen. After leafing through the pictures again and again, I was hit by the realization that his playful, even wild, camera technique is brought on by an instant perception of something significant in his surroundings that he, in nanoseconds, decided must be recorded. That is true instinctual photography.』
『Mark Cohen first came to the attention of the photography world in 1973 with a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This iconic show proved to the art world that Cohen was the heir apparent to the explosive street photography of the 60s. Now, after the wild success of his first monograph of black-and-white work, GRIM STREET, Cohen’s masterful color work will be seen for the very first time. Rich with the subtle colors of the seventies, TRUE COLOR is a tour through Wilkes-Barre, the Pennsylvania mining town Cohen calls home, from the vantage of this unique artist. Originally an experiment in the difference between color andblack-and-white photography, the pictures included in TRUE COLOR, commissioned by the George Eastman House, became a project of their own. Cohen captures faces and actions from the ordinary to the bizarre, documenting life as it was lived on the streets on Wilkes-Barre. They are an astonishing collection of Americana and a complex testament to the vision of one of the era’s most intense and successful photographers.』

(Unlocking the Mystery of Skin Color)
『Did you every wonder about the following?

Why do men tend to have darker skin than women? Why do the poorest countries have the darkest people? Why do some African American celebrities seem to get lighter over time? Why do I have a tan even when I do not go out in the sun?

If so, Unlocking the Mystery of Skin Color is a must read for you.

Thienna was born in Vietnam where white skin is treasured as a characteristic of beauty. Her mother, sister and brothers had a light complexion but she did not. This caused Thienna much distress.

By the time Thienna was twelve years old, her family moved to San Francisco. She tried several things to lighten her skin but it only darkened it. Thienna came to the conclusion that scientific research did not have the answer to her questions.

Since Thienna is a nutritionist, she started her quest by investigating how nutrition influences skin color. She was able to make many connections between what people eat and their skin color. As the author continued her research and experimentation, her skin color lightened. It is important to point out that she did not use any toxic or botanically based chemicals, no drugs and no steroids.

The author gives us some very interesting facts regarding Von Luschan's Chromatic Scale, the first tool used to classify skin color.

Thienna points out that melanin is the basic building block of your skin pigment; however, its characteristics make it very difficult to study.

The author states that one of the most important determinants of skin color is the amount of sulfur in the skin. If you change the amount of sulfur in the pigment producing layers of your skin, you can change the skin color.

Another factor in determining skin color is the environment.

Thienna gives the reader detailed information on selecting a diet that is good for the skin and tells us about foods and drugs we should not even touch.

Unlocking the Mystery to Skin Color is an intriguing and interesting book. It is very obvious that the author has done much research in order to be able to write this book. This book is easy to understand and gives the reader a thorough history on skin color. Throughout the book there are sections called "Warning" where the author advises the reader on what they should not do. There are several photographs, charts and lists to help the reader understand the points the author is making. The reader will also find a lists of "Dos and Don'ts" in order to have fantastic skin. Thienna backs up her research with several before and after photos of people who have been able to lighten their skin by using her method. If you are interested in changing your skin color or want more information about restoring damaged skin, this is the book for you. The author has done a thorough job in writing this book and if you ever had any questions regarding skin color, I'm sure you will find the answers here. As the author states, skin color is not fixed. Thienna gives the reader plenty to think about. I know it made me do a lot of thinking as I read this book. Unlocking the Mystery of Skin Color is highly recommended.』


(The guide to natural way of lightening your skin color)
『Reviewed by Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson for Reader Views (2/08)

The first time I truly and really became aware of importance and influence of skin color was when I moved to USA 8 years ago. Growing up in Europe skin color just wasn't an issue, or at least not one that would merit more than a second's pause when one met somebody of a different race. I have to admit I never gave it much thought, and even after reading Thiênna Ho's book, I found myself quite surprised that my home country ranks among those with the absolute lightest people on the planet. Skin color was not and still is not anything that defines a person in my eyes, but unfortunately I had to learn that in certain parts of the world it truly mattersenormously. Whether we like to admit it or not, life in the USA is easier if you happen to be lighter skinned. I am not going to moralize nor preach about this issue; suffice to say that I do understand why a person would want to lighten her or his skin if they could do it safely.

Thiênna Ho's "Unlocking the Mystery of Skin Color" carries a long subtitle, namely "The Strictly Natural Way to Dramatically Lighten Your Skin Color Through Diet and Lifestyle." While the cover photos failed to convince me that the color change in Thiênna Ho's own case was quite this dramatic, I seeabsolutely nothing wrong with the diet and lifestyle changes that she recommends. All of us would benefit from eating smarter, moving more, eliminating toxins and stress from our life, taking nice long baths and indulging in massages - which are some of her tips.

It is obvious that Thiênna Ho performed an outstanding amount of research while developing her method and writing her book. Just a glance through the over 40 pages of endnotes shows the great number and diversity of sources used in writing "Unlocking the Mystery of Skin Color." The book is actually quite interesting reading for the general public as well, dealing with diverse topics such as the great variety of the human skin colors, melanin, influence of sulfur on the skin color, the role of the environment as well as several chapters on nutrition and lifestyle. The surprisingly easy to read and understand stylecontributes to the feeling that this book should not be intimidating to anybody - it is written in such a way that a general reader can get enough useful information; and the more advanced or a professional one will find another nearly 100 pages of data, tables and sources in the appendices.

Regardless of whether you pick up "Unlocking the Mystery of Skin Color" because you truly want to lighten your complexion or out of sheer curiosity, I am certain that you will learn a lot of both useful tips and fascinating trivia about an attribute that we all posses and which oftentimes defines us - even when it should not.



(Can You Actually Change Your Skin Color?)
『Have you ever wondered if it is possible to change one's skin color?

In the Preface of her book, Unlocking The Mystery of Skin Color, Vietnamese born Thiênna Ho, Ph.D asserts that she always was envious of her mother and siblings who were blessed with having been born with light complexions. Thiênna goes on to state that her complexion caused her a great deal of distress and as a result she was motivated to find out if it is possible to control one's skin color.

Unfortunately, when she was studying microbiology at San Francisco State University as an undergraduate student and genetic engineering as a graduate student, she was saddened to discover that scientific research had not reached the stage that would help her unlock the mystery of changing one's skin color. Consequently, Thiênna affirms, "if I wanted to have a beautiful fair skin, I would have to unlock the mystery myself!"

The findings presented in Unlocking The Mystery of Skin Color are the results of Thiênna's extensive research in the fields of biology, chemistry, genetics and nutrition as well as her own personal observations and experiences.

Unlocking The Mystery of Skin Color is divided into nine chapters wherein Thiênna explores how changes in human skin color are the result from changes in environment, diet, behavior, health, and emotional and psychological factors as stress. She further delves into such topics as the mysterious variety of human skin color, the history of skin color of our ancestors, melanin, the mysterious, molecule of skin color, the importance of sulfur and how are bodies uses sulfur, how environment affects skin color, the importance of crafting a lifestyle and diet and how it affects our skin color, what you should know about vitamins and minerals and their effect on skin color, why we should not touch photosensitizing foods and drugs, tannin and the problem with ultraviolet radiation, and finally the benefits of massage as a stress reducer and its relationship to skin color.

Thiênna contends that genetic heritage is not the all-important determinant of skin color. As she exemplifies, some dark-skinned population groups as the Lemba have for the most part European ancestry and the Papua New Guineans have mostly Asian ancestry. Moreover, Thiênna states that solar radiationdoes not have as important an influence on the skin color of population groups as previously believed. As Ho illustrates, if we refer to some brown- skinned groups as the Eskimo or Sami peoples, we notice that they have lived in the sunlight-deprived polar region for thousands of years, yet their skins are not exactly light.

According to Thiênna, one of the most important factors in the determination of skin color and one that is grossly overlooked is the amount of sulfur in your skin. As she points out: "When skin of any color has less sulfur available for its use, it develops a darker shade. When skin of any color has plentiful supplies of sulfur available for it use, it develops a lighter shade." Accordingly, Thiênna ardently believes that by changing the amount of sulfur in the pigment- producing layer of your skin, you can change your skin color. And in a nutshell this is the basis of Unlocking The Mystery of Skin Color.

Essentially, Unlocking The Mystery of Skin Color provides a road map showing how to enrich one's diet with sulfur-rich foods and how to adopt behavior patterns that will maintain high sulfur levels in order to lighten one's skin.

Thiênna asserts that after two years of practicing her method, which she calls her Natural Fairskin(tm) Method, her total body complexion lightened from a dark olive to a light olive. Her initial changes to her diet and behavior had not only evened her complexion tone throughout her body, but also naturally lightened her body including her nipples.

It should be mentioned, as indicated in the concluding chapter Lessons Learned, that the book is intended for people who want healthier complexions and not solely for those who want lighter and brighter complexions: "It is a `self-detective guide' that you can use to track down ways to undo the skin problems that concern you-in your own home without every using any drugs, toxic chemicals, or steroids."

In addition to its abundance of information, Unlocking The Mystery of Skin Color also contains several interesting appendixes dealing with such topics as Van Luschan's Skin Color Scale, skin colors compared by countries, skin reflectance measurements, distribution of minerals, nitrates, and sulphates in volcanic ash, some chemical compounds released by three volcanoes, carotenoids in common foods, and common foods containing cyanogenic glycosides.

Although there are quite a few endnotes, it would have been helpful if there were references to additional reading resources as well as a bibliography, an index and suggested websites and additional reading resources.

Nonetheless, Unlocking The Mystery of Skin Color is a fascinating and accessible insight into the factors influencing skin color and should be of interest to anyone who wishes to know more about the possibility of changing its color without the use of toxic or botanically based chemicals, drugs or steroids.

(Raunchy, irreverent, Reinaldo)
『This is one of the most unusual and wonderful books that I have had the pleasure of reading. This book begins with a play then has many small chapters, filled with wit, humor, and all manner of unbeleivable images. Reinaldo makes no apologies for his sexual leanings, or spare the feeling of the dictator Fifo (Fidel Castro) or his brother Raul. Many people are mentiond by name, and many have mulitiple names, sometimes male, sometimes female. This book is enertaining, tittilating, and wonderful. I would reccomend this book to anyone, but not for children. There are some extremely strong sexual images. Read it, it is truely unique. Cheers Reinaldo!!』

(Four stars for the English Version)
『Amazing. Explicit. Can be hard to swallow at times. Arenas is a true reactionary artist, making you cringe at his unapologetic prose yet yern for more. I couldn't put it down. The translation is quite good, especially the tongue twisters--Cuban speech is full of sarcasim and wit I was surprised how well the english version came out. Not for the prudish.』

(Wow!)
『Wow! I just finished reading "The Color Of Summer" by the late Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas--and what a challenge it is for me to describe or assess this extraordinary work of fiction. It seems to be a hybrid of memoir, satire, and wild, hallucinatory magical realism. Maybe I should de-emphasize the term "realism." Historical events are exaggerated or transmogrified by the author--often with hilarious and irreverent results. The relentless pursuit of pleasure is constantly at odds with the pursuit of power. In one chapter entitled "The Garden Of Computers" Arenas brilliantly satirizes the bureaucracy of informants. "...denunciations, backstabbings, and betrayals of friendship were the nourishment the machines lived on." This is as brilliant as anything Dickens ever wrote about corrupt institutions. Other authors that came to mind as I read "The Color Of Summer" were Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, William Burroughs and, especially, Salman Rushdie. The amazing word-play in this book(in which 30 tongue twisters are interspersed)is delightful. Credit for this must surely be shared by the English translator Andrew Hurley. Sex(especially gay sex)is an obsession with most of the characters in this book-including the central tyrant Fifo(Castro). This is not a book for the timid or prudish. However, underneath it all there is a powerful affimation of the human spirit. Arenas expresses profound sadness, frustration, and anger--which cuts right through all the raucous humor. But, more than that, he imparts a sense of real joy through his characters' acts of defiance and creativity. I thoroughly recommend this book. A masterpiece.』

(Fierce)
『The translation of this work is amazing - no way would you know that this delightful queen, Arenas, didn't originally write this in wickedly idiomatic English. He had to write this story, what?, seven times? It was confiscated, stolen, and lost over and over. And he re-wrote it over and over, until he could escape to freedom and finally see it in print. The story is a scream of queer humor atop the most tragic background of brutal state repression. Yet, in a way that only imprisoned Cubans seem to know how to do, his pride and dignity survive.』

(Magical Realism...or is it simply Surrealism?)
『If the famous altarpiece of Hieronymous Bosch , similarly titled the Garden of Earthly Delights, could become words, those words would probably read much like Reinaldo Arenas' last volume. As with any fine writer (and make no bones about it, Arenas is one of the best of the Latin writers), the act of drawing an audience into a book is part enjoyment but also part labor. Plan on working to catch all the subtle metaphors and references as well as the obvious in-your-face slapstick that flows continously from these pages.

Arenas' bifurcated feelings about his native Cuba are well know to the readers of his other novels: Cuba he adores - Castro he loathes. And as the author was dying from AIDS in the US he was able to concentrate all of his ambiguous responses to his native homeland into a grand guignol carnival Farewell Party. The precis for the story is the preparation for the celebration of Fifo's (thinly disguised name for Fidel Castro) "50th" anniversary of dictatorship. Arenas very cleverly separates his personality into three faces - Gabriel, Reinaldo, and Skunk in a Funk - in order to give us the many facets of view of living in Cuba now and before Castro. His characters are hilariously drawn campy creatures in an endless pursuit of earthly delights (aka gay sex) and if the interchange of gender pronouns (him/her) at times gets a bit overused, the premise is sound and keeps the stew bubbling. Even the atrocities attributed to "Fifo" are handled in sure polished slapstick that we are drawn more to laughter than to loathing. Cuba is finally liberated by being separated from its mooring to the sea floor to float out blissfully toward Europe..or....

Arenas was a brilliant writer who died too young, but as this final translation of his output proves, his was a significant voice not only as a gay writer, but as a revolutionary thinker under the duress of loss of freedom that still plagues Cuba. Highly recommended book....just plan to work some and to take your time.......』
『Critics worldwide have praised Reinaldo Arenas's writing. His extraordinary memoir,Before Night Falls, was named one of the fourteen "Best Books of 1993" by the editors ofThe New York Times Book Reviewand has now been made into a major motion picture.

The Color of Summer, Arenas's finest comic achievement, is also the fulfillment of his life's work, thePentagonía, a five-volume cycle of novels he began writing in his early twenties. Although it is the penultimate installment in his "secret history of Cuba," it was, in fact, the last book Arenas wrote before his death in 1990. A Rabelaisian tale of survival by wits and wit,The Color of Summeris ultimately a powerful and passionate story about the triumph of the human spirit over the forces of political and sexual repression.』
