In this step-by-step guide for beginning and intermediate artists; an expert teacher shows students how to see an animal in its simplest form and capture its essential character in a drawing. More than 500 illustrations demonstrate the depiction of familiar and exotic creaturesmdash;from dogs; cats; and birds to hippopotami; zebras; buffalo; and kangaroos. A noted painter; sculptor; and teacher; Arthur Zaidenberg based his techniques on the notion that anyone who can write the alphabet can combine simple shapes and draw. With his coaching; aspiring artists learn to look past the confusion of superficial details and discover an animalrsquo;s distinguishing features. Preliminary and finished sketches accompany Zaidenbergs succinct; direct advice on recapturing the subtle strength of horses; the variety among canine breeds; the muscular grace of giraffes; the majesty of elephants; and other innate qualities of creatures from the animal kingdom.

Practical Golf Course MaintenanceBy Tim HiersPractical Golf Course Maintenance is just that! It is a book that contains common sense and practical applications for all facets of golf course maintenance; improvements; and dealing with membership expectations. This book could be especially useful in communicating to members the dynamics of shade; traffic; drainage and other course maintenance related issues. I would suggest that the reader use a highlighter for future references. The book is well worth the time invested to read it and could easily be used for college-related turf curriculum.
