Book Description
This is the very first book on the bidet in the English language. It is possible this is the first book ever published on this topic, anywhere. There are no books on bidets in the U.S. Library of Congress. There is no book available at Amazon, not on eBay, no book Google or Yahoo. Except this one. And this book has the most information on the bidet, anywhere. For book collectors this will be a historic, valuable first edition.
This book tells everything there is to know about bidets. It demystifies and introduces the reader to every type, every use, and every aspect of the various forms of the bidet. The Bidet paints a good picture - that most everyone who actually tries a bidet, will love it, and then they will wonder why they hadn't tried this before. There is a reason why you find bidets in the Presidential Suites of top hotels - but you can easily own a better bidet than that. The Bidet tells you what they are and where to get them.
Everything known about the bidet is covered. A comprehensive consumer's guide of bidet manufacturers lists bidets from each manufacturer and which features each bidet unit supports. The book also has full contact information for all bidet manufacturers, as well as major web re-sellers. This alone is worth the price of the book. This book will enable you to choose the best bidet for your pocketbook and your personal needs.
• Classic bidets, French bidets, bidet a syringe
• Shower toilets, TSBs (toilet seat bidets)
• Handheld units easily attached to the toilet
• Amazingly compact, but very useful portable bidets
All these bidets use surprisingly small amounts of water to wash your derriere clean. Bidets are an amazingly, luxuriously, sybaritically pleasant way to keep yourself very, very clean. This book presents and documents the medical literature that largely supports the many health benefits that bidet users claim.
Finally, the way we currently process our waste involves huge ecological costs that can mostly avoided by using bidets. Startling statistics are presented on the wastefulness of toilet paper, that using bidets you actually end up using less water. The real bottom line is that bidets are cheaper to operate, paying themselves off in a few years.
All the various forms of the bidet are described and their operation fully explained: how each different type of bidet works, its advantages and disadvantages, including how they are installed, and how they are used. There are a number of amusing (but very illustrative) anecdotes about bidets scattered throughout the book. It is an operating manual for using a bidet neatly and effectively.
"The Bidet" brings clarity to a confusing bidet marketplace. This book received significant support from the bidet industry while it was being written, but is an independent work that surveys the industry as a whole. "The Bidet" takes an even-handed look at bidets, while making a pretty objective consumer report on what is in the marketplace.
The Many Benefits of The Bidet
This book describes the many benefits of the bidet for sheer comfort, personal cleanliness, perianal health, good ecology, and superior economy.
Bidets are an easy way to improve your body's health. First of all, your derriere is much cleaner, and thus more comfortable. Those of us who suffer from conditions in our (perianal) nether quarters especially benefit from bidets' treatment.. There are many medical benefits listed in this book that support the therapeutic use of bidets.
Finally, bidets are much cheaper to use than toilets, and using a bidet benefits our environment in a number of ways. Prices vary, and usually reflect the quality of the bidet, but a very functional bidet can be quite inexpensive. This book helps you to find the right bidet for you, and then tells where you can buy it.
Who has a bidet? Much of the civilized world has already embraced one form of the bidet or another. Many Europeans have grown up with them for generations. Most Japanese now have one. Many countries around the world have some form of a bidet. Not many Americans have one - yet. Travelers return from abroad raving about the bidet's seductive graces. Once you experience a bidet, you will become a convert.
One bidet manufacturer surveyed Americans and found 88% of those who tried their bidet were favorably impressed, and 76% said they wanted to buy one.
Addressing Taboo Subjects: This book sensitively addresses subjects that are often shunned and taboo in our culture. These are subjects that many do not like to talk about, yet are essential for top health and well-being. Wry and humorous anecdotes about bidets, their relation to our derrieres, and their use (and misuse) help defuse this difficult subject area, and keep the text light and compelling. Numerous testimonials support the bidets' claims of pleasant efficacy, and give solid reasons to purchase a bidet.
This book is a tremendous bargain. It will repay its purchase price many times over by enabling you to find and purchase the best bidet for your needs. Once you have a bidet, you will be putting money back into your pocket every time you use it. Users feel a lot better and healthier once they start using a bidet, and this book tells you how.

Let's finally talk about this!.......2005-05-20
The Bidet offers everything in comfort. Let's face it, we all need to keep ourselves clean where the sun don't shine.
This book teaches both men and women how to stay clean, while avoiding abrasive toilet paper on sensitive areas. Plus, any woman who is menstruating will use a bidet several times a day.

Book Description
Artists and naturalists will master their ability to render lifelike depictions of a wide range of wildlife in a variety of still and action poses in this unique instructional. Amberlyn begins by offering a discourse on animal anatomy, basic animal structure and characteristics, and the animals' natural environment. Such details are examined and explored through more than 300 detailed animal studies.
More advanced topics include drawing the three major animal categories: carnivores/omnivores (wolves, coyotes, weasels, raccoons, and bears), hoofed mammals (deer, elk, moose, caribou, and sheep), and small mammals (rabbits, squirrels, mice, beaver, and armadillo). Readers will transform their mediocre interpretations into drawings that truly capture the essence and subtleties of the animal, its mood, and its habitat.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Book.......2007-03-16
I checked this book out at the library before I decided to buy it. It is wonderful. It doesn't just show you how to draw each animal. It focuses on each aspect of the animal and different types of each animal. An example would be the cat family. It shows you how to draw eyes, paws, ears, face, nose etc... It shows you direction of the fur, so however you draw this type of animal you will be accurate. In the cat section, it explains the Canadian Lynx, Bobcat, and Mountain Lion, with all their subtle differences. It then shows you how to draw the Mountain Lion.
I believe I have learned a lot in this book. It is, by far, the best drawing book I have ever read and used and I think it is a necessity to anyone wanting to learn how to draw animals. I highly recommend it!
More expensive version of Jack Hamm.......2007-02-01
The book is all right. I learned a few extra things that I didn't learn from Jack Hamm's How to Draw Animals. But I kept feeling like I was reading Hamm's book a lot. If you don't have a lot of money, Hamm's book will give you just as much for almost half the price.
And both books should really be called How to Draw Mammals. There's nothing about reptiles, birds, or fish in them.
A Keeper.......2006-02-03
I'm the type of person that buys a lot of books, and if I don't use them much, I re-sell them or give them away. But "Drawing Wildlife" has become one of my favorite reference books that I'll never get rid of. I make animals and people (sculptures) from wool, using the process of needle felting. This book has become one of my most used guides to get proportions correct, expressions authentic, and shading/coloring accurate. The author even explains which direction theh animal's hair lays, and gives beautiful details down to the toes or hooves. In whatever medium you create, if you include wildlife, you need this book.
Great reference for North American Mammals.......2005-05-26
If you're at all interested in learning more about drawing North American mammals, this book is SOOO worth it! She goes into detail about structure, the simplified forms of the animals, their movements, and the hair patterns! She covers a lot of species other books have missed, like the small rodents, the cacomistle, the opossum, and others. My only real quibble with the book is the title (which I think J.C. didn't choose, anyway- the publisher named the book.) Every time I open this book, I find something new to marvel at. Her knowledge of animal anatomy is amazing and extensive. I hope she does a book on drawing birds as well!
Both Skill and Passion..........2005-05-17
J.C. Amberlyn's first art book is remarkable in several aspects. Not only does she have a clear, concise way of passing on her hard-won knowledge of anatomy and artistic technique; she also delights in sharing her love and respect for the amimals that she portrays. Her simple, direct instructions will be of use to the seasoned artist who lacks her years of field observation, as well as young people just starting to draw.
This little volume is destined, I think, to become a standard reference to those who value the "nuts & bolts" basics of wildlife art; one of those books that are kept at hand to review again and again. It's a "keeper".
Book Description
Muralists naturally think big. But Wyland¿arguably the world's best-known marine painter, whose images span thousands of square feet of walls, canvases, and sculpted forms¿makes an impact far beyond the art world. Wyland combines his incredible talents with those of a dedicated team of educators, scientists, and environmentalists to truly change the way we view the planet.
Wyland: 25 Years at Sea opens the door to Wyland's fascinating world of art and its power to make a difference in the earth's future. Through its pages we experience the wonder of nature as seen through the eyes of this extraordinary artist, while deepening our understanding of the importance of our environment and all creatures that share it. Like an artist's palette, this book mixes Wyland's breathtaking work with a narrative that reveals the man's personal world and his commitment to the earth.
Woven throughout the whales, sea turtles, and ocean waves is the absorbing story of how Wyland grew from his Detroit roots to become a successful fine artist to his mission today of delivering a lasting, worldwide message of concern, hope, and needed action.
Customer Reviews:
Gorgeous Book.......2007-01-10
This was a present who had a sculpture of his. The book sits on the table where the sculpture is, and they love it.
A breathtaking window into an unreal sea.......2006-11-02
Wyland's art is a breathtaking window into an unreal sea. In his world, the ocean is crisp and clear, the water pure and clean, the native life serene and picture-perfect. Sure, we know the truth has more to do with pollution and extinction than Wyland's art would suggest ... but I prefer Wyland's view all the same. That's how it should be, anyway.
Anyone who's seen Wyland's gigantic murals or smaller-scale posters knows something of his work already. But John Yow, in "Wyland: 25 Years at Sea," touches a little more to the heart of the matter, delving into the passion that inspire's the artist's work.
Wyland is an environmentalist. More importantly, he's an informed environmentalist, one of the rare ones who knows what he's talking about when he argues against senseless waste and destruction. And, better still, he's an active environmentalist, one who puts his personal resources to work as well as his celebrity. As Yow explains, Wyland doesn't just want a "wow" for his art; he wants to hook the interest of people, especially children, who will learn more about the ocean and its life and will do something about its preservation.
The story about Wyland, his passion and his work is interesting. But I kept wandering away from the text to enjoy the art that illustrates this heavy tome. It's everywhere, in bold and bright colors, and I wanted to dive right in and swim with the dolphins and whales. Wyland's art makes that very nearly possible.

Book Description
Representing more than 60 species found throughout North America, this portfolio includes field sketches, drawings of footprints, and photographs of animals taken in their natural habitats. Rather than a drawing manual, this is a reference geared toward artists of any media interested in drawing animals. The book's large-scale format facilitates detailed sketches that capture the true nature of the species. Flat artists can use this guide as a starting point for larger compositions, while sculptors and woodcarvers can use it to define natural-looking poses for their subjects.
Customer Reviews:
This book is beautifully Done, however, if you want birds in flight? This one is dissappointing.......2006-02-28
This book, as does all of Mr. Lindstrand's work, shows a very high level of skill through sketchwork done on a huge variety of animals both land and air. There are many birds of prey showing great detail and nuance of differences between each one shown. I had hoped for more work on the Eagle. While there are some good pointers and sketch workups on the Bald Eagle I have yet to find a viable sketch of one of these majestic birds while in flight. this seems true of the other bird depictions in the book as well. The other animals of the cold country north are all shown very nicely in all their magesty, but these birds are lifeless and flightless for the most part and I was sorely dissappointed for that reason. The sheer number of birds included is astounding and I had hoped for more activity of form and flight shown in the work than what I actually found to be there.
Excellent book.......2000-03-05
This book has an extremely wide selection of animals showing actual pictures, footprints, evironments, and drawings of the animals themselves in a variety of poses. Also included, are numerous field notes with regard to habitat, animal behavior, and likely scenarios for drawing these animals in natural settings.
Book Description
Offering tips for drawing 20 mammals indigenous to North America, this reference features each species in several photographs as well as in field sketches. Animals featured range from the noble gray wolf of the Yukon Territory to the tiny Key deer of Florida, and include black bears, grizzly bears, polar bears, coyotes, mountain lions, pronghorns, and bison. Included is information on habitat and range, as well as advice for starting a wildlife sketchbook.
Book Description
Best, most representative sequences have been specially selected from the monumental original and are presented here in crisp, double-page plates printed on high-quality stock. Horses hauling, walking, trotting, etc., plus sequences of donkeys, an ox, pig, dog, cat, deer and other animals capture details of anatomy and movement with astonishing clarity.
Customer Reviews:
Six of one, a half dozen of the other.......2006-07-16
The 45 sequences in Horses and Other Animals are included in the larger Animals in Motion by Muybridge. The difference being that in Animals, you get more sequences and usually better reproductions; in Horses and Other Animals you get fewer sequences, but larger images making the detail a little more visible - except in those cases where the reproductions are a little gray and washed out. You choose - more and better or fewer and more gray. You don't really need both books.
Too bad was only 95 pages!.......2003-07-29
I should have got Animals in Motion that is over 400 pages, though this book was just fine, it was, I presume, the appetizer for his other book which had four times as many illustrations for only a few dollars more. Perhaps I'll sell this one and buy the other one and see for sure. Otherwise, its a great book. It had about 13 pages just horses, then went to a donkey and cats, lions, camels and other stuff I didn't need nor was interested in. I wonder if the other book has MORE horses? There was an introduction of one page, a short summary, and the rest was whole pages filled with movie clip style shots that were about 2" SQUARE each frame, maybe 8 - 12 frames per page, each page one animal in motion. I need to see more, more and more of everything, but that's because I'm drawing horses and wanted to see 30 movement shots of one animal instead of 8. The more I have to choose from the better, so guess I'm gonna use the images here until I need to move up to the next Muybridge book, the 418 page one, Animals in motion which I now realize I should have got in the first place.
This book is great for 3d Animators.......2000-07-21
For those of you who are 3d animators this book is great, it really helps to know how to truly make lifelike those horses or other animals that are more complex then bipeds. I recommend this book to all.

Wyland Paint Kit.......2007-01-10
My 8 year old granddaughter did very well with the drawing part. She still does not seem to be interested in the painting yet. I think 8 years old is a little young for most for this type of kit. They are still in the watercolor stage, which for them is easier.
Great for Kids.......2003-05-25
Although I am 25 years old, I bought this book because I love Wyland's work and was curious about how he drew his sea creatures. It came with brushes, some acrylic paints, drawing paper, pencils, and a book giving instruction on how to draw and paint (all in a hard cover folder). It is definetly worth the price and would be a great start up book for kids interested in sea art.
