Customer Review: Interesting, but doesn’t help you get started
Some really good background and context for SL, and some good detailed tips for doing things like creating and finessing your avatar, but I (and a lot of others I met) spent a long time stuck on the introduction Island and couldn’t find a way off and no help from the ‘Guide’ book. Took me some persistence to really get going in SL and the book didn’t really help me in the ‘Rough Guide’ way I’d have liked. Still - if you’ve alreayd got mates in SL, you’ll be fine and this book can help add a few fininshing tweaks (although you can probably work them out for yourself and have fun doing it.
Customer Review: Life in a Hyper-World
I do strongly recommend this book for it is packed with invaluable advice for the Second Life newcomer. It is perhaps a mark of this books’ quality that it has yet to become superceeded as a definitive introduction to Second Life. The downside to this is that despite the fact that it has only been published for a few months much of its content is old - such is the pace of change in Second Life. Nevertheless it is a superbly crafted publication with great layout and illustrations. Instead of merely acting as an intstruction manual there is also a great deal of background information on subjects such as the history of the development of Second Life, regular Second Lifers anecdotal observations and indepth analysis of successful avatars. Undoubtedly there will be a revised and updated edition but until then this book still manages to serve as the best introduction to the subject.

Posters: Paul Cezanne Poster Art Print - Natura Morta (28 x 20 inches)
Cezanne’s Garden
Paul C?zanne remains one of the world’s most beloved Impressionist painters. His works are among the most popular at major museums around the world, and visitors flock each year to Aix-en-Provence, where the garden at his home and studio in Les Lauves remains meticulously maintained to honor his memory.
Now in C?zanne’s Garden, award-winning garden writer and photographer Derek Fell offers a groundbreaking approach to the study of the man and his art. Setting images of C?zanne’s paintings against breathtaking photographs of his garden as it exists today, Fell offers fresh insight into the man, his art, and the natural world that inspired him. Readers will see how C?zanne’s unusual garden — a wooded landscape layered with brilliant greens and punctuated by strong structural elements — reflects the artist’s innovative theories on color, texture, structure, and light.
Using C?zanne’s own letters and the musings of painters who knew him, Fell draws an astonishing portrait of this socially awkward, hardworking man, complete with his favorite outdoor motifs, his favorite still-life subjects, and even his favorite flower: scabiosa. As he traces the development of the artist’s career, Fell takes readers on a tour of gardens from C?zanne’s early life — the Jas de Bouffan on his family’s estate and the nearby Ch?teau Noir — as well as from his adult years, namely his garden and studio at Les Lauves, showing how it was then and how it stands now. For the practicing gardener, Fell also shows how to create a C?zanne-like garden of one’s own, including how to create favorite C?zanne motifs such as vertical gardens and leaf tunnels.
Beautifully illustrated with more than one hundred original photographs and a dozen C?zanne masterpieces, C?zanne’s Garden is a revealing look — using art, photography, and reflection — at one of the world’s most cherished artists.
