This work encapsulates diversity of architecture, design, arts and crafts in Myanmar. Ranging from the monumental pagodas of Bagan (Pagan) to contemporary Yangon (Rangoon), both religious and secular buildings are presented in detail. Archaelogical experts highlights the major influences and styles, and sections are included on Myanmar's rich tradition of arts and crafts. Buddha images, lacquerware, painting, ceramics, wood-carvings, bronzes, textiles, costumes and many more are illustrated, as are examples of objects d'art. Chapters on Myanmar's history and culture discuss the special relationship between religion and life. "Myanmar Style" is intended for art collectors, lovers of exotic architecture and interior design, and anyone interested in this unique country. With over 500 colour images by Luca Invernizzi Tettoni, and text by the region's authorities on architecture, art and archaeology, this book reveals the splendour of a secret, forgotten land. ...

Beautiful and Informative Sourcebook
I own at least a dozen books in which the second word of the Title is "Style", but this is certainly one of the best. Well organized, informative and full of beautiful photographs. Looking through this book you can learn about the Architecture and Design of Myanmar. The book is divided into sections dealing with Religious and Secular Architecture, Early and Modern Architecture and Arts and Crafts. At the end of the book there is a section of Textiles and Costumes, and another entitled the Pagoda Market which shows photographs and gives descriptions of vendors of various types of handicrafts. Thus a cross section of the different aspects of the Myanmar Style are given, without adaptations by Western Interior Decorators. Some "Style" Books are misleading because they show the adaptations, primarily in the West, of Stylistic Elements. While these books are ok, I prefer to see the Style as it actually is in Myanmar, not a Architectural Digest type of interpretation. This book is free from this. The text is concise and informative. Not overloooked should be the quality of the photographs and the paper and printing, which in this case are all excellent. Some other books of this genre are not up to high quality. No worries here however. I highly recommend this book. It will make you want to visit Myanmar, or at least think about redesigning in your home.

brilliant sourcebook
Finally, a book on art and design in Myanmar/Burma that does justice to the living traditions as well as the colonial and pre-colonial empires.Superb photography, thoughtful text, and some quirky subjects, too, such asthe chapter The Great Pagoda Alley. Enjoyable.

Superb varied and colorful view of buildings and crafts
This book adds both novelty and inspiration to an otherwise dull coffee table or mind. More touristically, this is one of the special books that make you go to the place and find where the interesting buildings not inthe travel guides are.The pictures are excellent, not cropping so much asto glamourise rubbish, and not putting things out of context: in short,well edited text and visuals. One note, it has nothing to do with theexperience of being in a third world country, but it is for the visualpleasure only. ... Read more

Fun-filled interactive book
Each page of //The Grasshopper Hopped// is a story of a green grasshopper hopping from one place to another just to learn that his place is not in a pot of hot soup; is not in a fridge; inside a grandfather clock or in the sea. The grasshopper ventured through these places complaining the extremes. Oops, oh no! He ... he is ... GULPEDby a hungry frog! Naughty grasshopper!

Just kidding!! Hippity-hop, hippity hop ...
The grasshopper hopped into the grass.
It wasn't too hot.
It wasn't too cold.

Will the grasshopper ever find the right place for him? This interactive sliding-tab book introduces young children the feel, taste, and hearing senses with a little kick of humor. The graphics and colors are vibrant and eye-catching with perfect contrast. The lettering is large enough for young readers to point-and-read with ease. In addition, the smooth sliding-tab is pre-creased to fold up, that makes it easy to move the tab by little fingers. This fun-filled interactive book is perfect for little boys and girls.

greatest maine travel book ever
This book is awesome. We love Maine and this book has helped us explore it. I tell everyone I know to buy this book if they are going to Maine, whether it's their first or 30th time there.

"...An Explorer's Guide" is the tops
"Maine: An Explorer's Guide" was my first purchase in the series.Since then, I have used "Vermont..." and "Maryland...".While perhaps not ideal for novices in a region, they are excellent for one who has some familiarity with the state one is visiting.The descriptions of history, geography, cultural and recreational offerings; and the listings of inviting, independent restaurants, shops and accommodations have always been accurate, informative and insightful.If you are likely to visit more than once, or stay longer than a few days, this is the book for you.As a piece of advice, buy a good map to go with it.

Extremely helpful book!
This is the guidebook we include in each of our B&B rooms.
Guests frequently take it with them on their day trips and
I have found it to be full of very comprehensive information
on what the State of Maine has to offer.

Very useful book for exploring Maine
My husband and I re-located to Maine in 1995.We have used this book extensively to plan day and weekend trips around the state.There are so many wonderful places to explore and this book always gives us some good tips and starting points.We currently have the 10th edition.

So So....
This was just a so so book on Maine.It has some good stuff and some not so good stuff.I bought it because it was the only one in the store with an extensive section on the little town of Kittery which is near the border with New Hampshire.It was a good section and I got a lot of information and use out of it.However, when I started reading the rest of the book I kind of got a little lost.The sections on "where to eat" and "selective shopping" were confusing because they were organized differently.They've put phone numbers for places without an area code and directions like "North along Route 1" which doesn't make any sense to me not knowing where anything in Maine is.I suppose it would be a really good book for someone with some knowledge about Maine or someone who actually lives there and wants to get away for the weekend or something.On the plus side the maps were really good and the photos were nice (black and white, but nice).My copy had five pages in a row that were upside down.Not sure what that's all about.I wasn't able to make it to Maine on a trip I made to the area, but I plan to go one of these days and I will take this book with me when I do because it still has a lot of good information. ...
