"I have found the text very clear and concise with fabulous, diversified examples and illustrations."
--Kelly M. Nelson, Longwood University

"It is clear, concise, and visually appealing.My students responded immediately to its visual impact.I also appreciated the artist views for each chapter.They gave the sections more meaning."
--Danielle Harmon, Valdosta State University

"This text is excellent for developing projects that stimulate creativity, challenge students set in convergent thinking to open up, realize the ability to be creative when they are not visual artists."
--Carolynne Whitefeather, Utica College

"Main reason [for adopting LTI]:chapters on narrative and time.Helped to bridge the gap between fine arts and graphic design.Helped/introduced students to these elements/topics and reinforced 2D/3D concepts learned in other classes.Students enjoyed the book. Problem solving chapter is great."
--William Britton Rowe, Ohio Northern University

"Launching the Imagination is both simple and in-depth in its scope.It is thorough without being overwhelming.It is clear and succinct without losing the essence of meaning or concepts.Also the color examples and the accompanying CD is great."
--Rob Tarbell, Piedmont Virginia Community College and James Madison University

"I have not had a really good text for 2-D Design since Roy Behrens' Design in the Visual Arts, which is now out of print.While there is much to like about Launching the Imagination, I was most happy with the sections which talked about critical thinking and strategies for problem solving which can be employed by visual artists."
--Reid Wood, Lorain County Community College

"The engaging writing and variety of visual examples make this design text the most user friendly guide for both students and instructor that I've found yet.The artist profiles give an applied art/life perspective that is unique in foundations texts.I've used the text at two colleges and my students LOVE this text.The thin 2D volume is also a plus.Students do Not want a heavy book to lug around."
--Tracy Doreen Dietzel, Edgewood College

HILARIOUS!
Provides great insight into christian paranoia while being able to make you laugh at the same time. Very funny stuff

Worth reading but with some reserve
If you're a Christian, perhaps the author of this book needs no introduction but, if you are a universalist, serious spiritualist seeker that is looking for more answers and study, the contents of this book may tire you at first as it quickly leans heavily into US Christian beliefs and vocabulary. This and a some repetition can put off the less determined reader. The positive sides are the author's credentials as a learned person regarding the Bible -which is very helpful for those of us who have not wanted to, or been able to, get so familiar with the Bible-, the valuable info throughout and the last chapters that wraps up the message meaningfully for those already aware of many things. If you also read the Bible Code book, even more can be understood as they reach converging valuable conclusions. A must know-about, nonetheless. Tip: used copies are a fine choice for this book.

"Twilight Zone" theology!
This book as well as its sequel are the product of the author's imagination.Mrs. Relfe claims that she received revelation from God concerning this.However, her logic is skewered.

For example, she says that stamping a product with any number containing 666 means that the "666 system" is present in the nation's economy.But those three numbers can be found anywhere and NOTHING TO DO WITH the so-called "mark of the beast" found in the 13th chapter of the book of Revelation!

This is a perfect example of premillennial delusion.It is characteristic of the futurist interpretation of Revelation.

This book written in 1981 describes 1999 and beyond
I was amazed at the accuracy of Dr. Relfe in depicting events which would take place in the remainder of this century.I also agree with her opinions concerning the rapture of the church in the end times; at the lasttrump and before the wrath of God.

Product Description
Violence against women cannot be understood as an expression of individual rage or inadequacy or as a characteristic of the violent or violated. As long as women are "the other"--degraded and devalued because they are female--and as long as women do not have power equal to that of men in the political, economic, and social realm, they will be abused. Violence against women cannot be disentangled from the cultural, economic, and social context within which it occurs. While violence takes varying forms in different cultures, reflecting the differential power of women and different definitions of women's value in these cultures, in each it reflects the cultural definitions of woman and the feminine as subordinate, and reinforces the gender structure in which women are oppressed. This book provides a theoretical and conceptual approach to the intricate relationship between gender structure and the many forms of violence against women. ... Read more

Product Description
One night when Ludo is home alone, his family's only horse, Renti, escapes from the stable. Overcome with guilt and fear, Ludo follows Renti out in to the snow, and before long the pair find themselves in the House of the Archer, a gateway to the Zodiac. Here, the Archer tells Ludo that Renti is a Star Horse, and has chosen to return to his own kind. Ludo, says the Archer, may keep faith with Renti and accompany him, or, if he prefers, return home. Ludo decides that he must repay Renti's years of loyal service, and so the pair set off on a journey through the houses of the zodiac, or 'Star Countries'. They must pass through all twelve before catching the sun - but Ludo soon realises that many of the house rulers are less than hospitable. Dismissed by the imperious goat, chased by the crab, taunted by the bloodthirsty twins...theirs is a perilous and unpredictable journey... ... Read more

The journey of Ludo and the Star Horse
I like this book because a horse is in the story and I like horses.This story is about a guy named Ludo. He is on a jorney with his horse.They go through woods,rivers and many more places.They go into trouble with other animals but they survive.
This book takes place in the woods,river and the zodiac.The name ''zodiac'' is the title that in the ancient world was given to an imaginary belt or track in the sky,which lies along the path of the sun.All planets lie within this belt.
I would recommend this book to people 8-12 that like to read about horses.Older people might think it's for younger kid.

Delightful tale of a horse, a boy, and a magical adventure
Amongst Ludo's people, there's a special breed of horse chosen to draw the chariot of the sun.Ludo's horse is getting old, and one day, it breaks out of its barn.Ludo follows his horse and stays by his side through adventures and perils as they encounter personifications of the 12 Zodiac signs on the way to a meeting with Destiny.

A charming story, I read it as a child, a teenager, and an adult, and I've enjoyed it each and every time.

Highly Entertaining Throughout
