ROBERT BATEMAN: AN ARTIST IN NATURE.......1996-12-22
An excellent book! I was amazed by Berman's amazing paintings and sketches of wildlife and, being an artist myself, found Berman's commentaries most enlightening. If you are an art buff or an artist, of wildlife or not, you must have this book! -- Rachel K. Clar

Wonderful.......2007-07-24
This book, together with "The art of Robert Bateman" is one of the best wildlife art books ever published, and truly shows Bateman at his best. The later collections (especially the very last ones) don't even come close to the beauty of the paintings in these two books. In most paintings the animal is just one character, sometimes not even the main one, while the landscape and the surroundings (depicted in marvelous and maddening detail) almost always plays a central role. Here Bateman shows to be a master of the techniques he uses, and creates pictures of stunning beauty who truly come to life. Both books are highly highly recommended if you life "realistic" wildlife art.

THE ART OF ROBERT BATEMAN appears in its 25th anniversary edition to include text by Ramsay Derry and an introduction by noted ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson himself as it provides a stunning blend of full-page color wildlife images and accompanying artist profile. This was the artist's first book and cemented his career: its re-appearance is perfect for collections who either don't have the original or find their lending copies worn.
Art of Robert Bateman .......2007-01-23
I have 3 Bateman books all are special ,a book for everyone to enjoy
The Art of Robert Bateman is superb & endearing........2000-05-19
To see a Robert Bateman work is to glimpse a moment in Nature's time when an elk treks across a vast winter landscape of snow, conifers & mountains; or a stream bank where tender green plants glow against the moist earth & a minute bird perches; or a trumpeting bull elephant confronts you in a storm of dust. Roger Tory Peterson has written an expressive introduction & Ramsay Derry's profile of the artist makes good reading - especially as he's included a history of who Robert Bateman is; where he's lived; several works-in-progress sketches; photos of the artist in action & on location. A worthy addition to your library.

Yes, very nice, but..........2007-08-11
...I think here Mr Bateman was already going downhill a bit. The first two books of his that I purchased, when I was a kid, were absolutely marvelous. The world or Robert Bateman and The Art of Robert Bateman remain two of the best wildlife art books ever published. Awe-inspiring pictures, where the landscape is at least as important as the animal. Maddening detail, and fantastic colors. Then Mr Bateman, maybe, has become too popular for his own good, and his pictures have become (while still masterfully crafted) much more conventional, and sometimes somewhat rushed. I believe I own all his books, but after the first two, I like the others in decreasing order of appearance.
If you like this book, my recommendation is to purchase the two volumes I mentioned above, which in my opinion are largely superior to this one (and can be easily purchased for a few bucks on the used market).
Superb artwork in the classical Bateman tradition!.......1999-01-04
This is a wonderfully illustrated book for those who love nature and wildlife art and are enthusiasts of Robert Bateman. He takes us through a journey around the world to his favourite nature spots and then reveals the beauty and complexity of those sites through his inspired artwork. A must for wildlife art enthusiasts.

Customer Reviews:
Very inspiring but his DVD is better for learning.......2006-07-25
I find the book very interesting to get the basic idea about his work and technique. Some nice tips and some explanation on how to paint the fur, but if you really want to see him in action and get a real step by step, you are better off buying his DVD. I have the book and the DVD and I much prefer the DVD. Although the book as some very nice painting and material that is not in the DVD. I guess I could say that both are valuable tool. I don't regret buying the book as it was not expensive and worth it.
Painting the Drama of Wildlife Step by Step.......2005-08-09
This book was a gift to an inmate, so I don't know anything about it. Sorry!
This is a dramatic wildlife book!.......2002-08-23
I like this book, it is very attentitive to small details, the resulting paintings are very naturalistic and often very dramatic as well. The artist knows about nature and it shows.
The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and you just sit there, stuck and fascinated.
The book is using acrylic paints, but the book can be absolutely and utterly recommended for oil and watercolor as well. Even if you aren't an artist it is well worth just for browsing on the coffee table... Buy it, steal it, borrow it, just Get it.
Not Just for Acrylic Painters.......2001-10-18
In contrast to the abundance of books on oil and watercolor painting there are few high quality books on acrylic painting. This book however helps fill that gap. The numerous photos of step-by-step techniques for painting everything from backgrounds to various types of fur (dry, wet, patterned, white) to eyes, feathers, leaves, grass, clouds, water, waterdrops, rocks, snow, special effects and a gallery of textures is a feast for the eyes. If not for the close-up photos I would think Mr. Isaac was painting in oil.
The author covers composition do's and don'ts, balance, repetition, lighting, getting a correct pose and other tips for integrating the subject into the scene. The numerous demonstrations list the supplies used for each painting followed with step-by-step details of composition and techniques. The end of the book shows a gallery of some of Isaac's paintings and an index. These techniques can be used by anyone wanting to paint wildlife scenes in an opaque manner - not only acrylics. I've sat with this book open beside my paintings and continually used these techniques for several wildlife paintings I made in casein, Chromacolour and even alkyd. This is a book to be used, not read then stored away on the bookshelf. Get it and see your wildlife paintings improve.
Top of the line..........2000-09-27
This book like the artist is top notch. It's hard to find a book done by a world class artist. Terry Isaac is such an artist. Any one of the concepts presented in this book it worth the books price. All aspects of his thought processes and painting technics are revealed. Terry shows step by step examples of how he created works that he exhibits, not stuff whipped out to create a book. If your looking for a book on wildlife painting or landscape painting your not going to find a better book.

Safari.......2002-02-03
This is a beautiful wildlife art book for children in elementary and middle school; adults will enjoy it also but might like the larger version. The book includes the natural histories of each animal in Bateman's realistic paintings and may be a useful resource for home libraries.
Children love this book.......1999-05-27
This is a great book for children who like animals. The book inspires children to draw. My six year old son and I have enjoyed this book and have spent many hours reading it over and over. The drawings are incredible. Your "animal loving" child will love it, too.
This book is excellent for children of all ages........1999-03-26
The initial attraction of this book is the wonderful artwork, but further investigation reveals a thoughtful and fresh look at nature. Robert Bateman tells you enough about himself and his lifes work to make you curious about him. Most importantly, he provides the reader with a close up and personal view of animals we rarely experience. He provides a quick run down of the facts of each animal and where it lives in a small information box. The text provides some very unique information on the animal. I found his information on how a giraffe runs to be facinating. A great read for children (and adults) of any age who appreciate nature and beauitful art.

It's never comfortable to read, or even think, about grief. And Love Never Dies is many things--eloquent, sweet, touching, and powerful--but it is definitely not an easy read. Sandy Goodman has taken brave steps past Kübler-Ross's work (On Death and Dying), and here she challenges us to open ourselves to a different set of stages that she labels numbness, unrelenting pain, searching, and reinventing. She writes with comforting openness about pretending that she was progressing through the standard stages, was "getting over" the death of her son, and was searching for a more clearly defined faith. She also is frank about the real need to continue acknowledging birthdays as well as the anniversary of death, and provides a few specific suggestions for friends to help those going through grief, such as asking, "How are you really doing since [he] died," instead of merely, "How are you?"
Each chapter closes with a short message in bold print, written from the point of view of Goodman's dead son, Jason. She clarifies in the introduction that this is not channeling or automatic writing, merely her best guess as to what he might have to add to her own thoughts. Regardless of your point of view on these additions, it is clear that Jason is continually present to his family.
While the particular focus of the book relates to parental grief, much of it is both useful and appropriate for anyone dealing with a powerful loss. --Jill Lightner

Unconditional love.......2006-07-02
Sandy Goodman shares her story of her son's physical death but continued presence in a beautiful manner. As a bereaved grandmother, I have often felt my precious granddaughter's presence. Thanks to Sandy and Jason for reassuring us that the desire to maintain a connection is normal.
An Enlightening Jewel.......2003-06-20
Sandy Goodman brings astounding clarity and answers to questions that many people ask when a dear loved one "dies."
Through this jewel of a book, you will certainly come out with a lot more understanding and relief than you had before you read it.
As a mother and spiritual, self-help author, I know that the spiritual integrity of this book is impeccable. Love Never Dies brings light, hope, and even joy to anyone who feels the deep pain of loss. Your pain will be lifted. You will receive answers, and your heart will be put at ease after you read "Love Never Dies." Highly recommended as a Must Read!

Love Never Dies.......2003-01-09
After my daughter passed in June 2002 I could not understand why at some moments I was still able to feel the same relationship of Love and Closeness that my daughter and I had always shared. It was as if she was still with me. There were times of deep sorrow mostly but there was always that profound Love. It wasn't until I ended up on Sandy Goodman's website somehow and she so thoughtfully replied to me that I was guided to this miraculous healing book and understood why.
It was everything I needed and more. It validated Love is eternal. Love truly never dies and it was Sandy Goodman I have to thank for bringing me to this realization through the words of her son Jason. Thank you.
For anyone having to cope with sudden and unexpected loss.......2002-12-12
Love Never Dies: A Mother's Journey From Loss To Love is the memoir of Sandy Goodman, a mother of twin sons, who lost one when he was 18 due to an accidental electrocution. Love Never Dies is a compelling and heartfelt story of learning to bear terrible loss, and of finding ways to remember the joy and happiness a loved one brought without being overwhelmed in grief. Love Never Dies is profound in its subject, moving in its presentation, and very highly recommended reading -- especially for anyone having to cope with the sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one.
