My first entire SK read. I found myself reading a paragraph again, then again, then "...just one more time." Why the rereading? Sometimes I did not get what he was saying. I think SK does this to the reader on purpose. But then I began to realize that it was because I wanted to read the text over and over again. I would wring out everything I could so as not to miss anything. (Though I know I have only scratched the surface). I reread some sections at least 6 times before moving on. To what end? Well, this book changed me. It re-wired my mind and heart in ways I could not have imagined. Soren Kierkegaard has become a friend to me. I am grateful to this man who has helped me become a different person than I was before I read this book. Some hard things are worth the effort. This is an understatement. I am now working through Fear and Trembling. Oh my.

My favorite book of all time. From a philosophical standpoint it's an amazing and thorough picture of applications of Christian existentialism. From a spiritual standpoint it's a very personal account of Kierkegaard's relationship with religion. From a cognitive standpoint, it's a wonderful new challenge to rethink the way you process the dichotomy of logic and faith.

Note for anyone wondering about the translation: this is the Howard and Edna Hong translation, with a forward by George Pattison. Info from the book's title page.Note to anyone suffering from heartbreak: now might be the time to read Works of Love. Not later, when you think you can handle it, but now, while you're in turmoil and still breaking. I know, I know...it's Kierkegaard, and he has a tough rep sometimes, but I was surprised by how much it both comforted and corrected me. It helped rebuild my heart and mind better than I could have imagined.

Works of Love is, perhaps, the greatest single piece of literature written in the history of humankind. Astonishingly, it has been greatly ignored by philosophers, laymen, and theologians alike. Unlike its predecessors, Either/Or, Fear and Trembling, or The Sickness Unto Death, Works of Love has largely remained unknown in the Western world. In an attempt to introduce my parents to this masterpiece, I discovered that the Russians had not even bothered to produce a translation to this very day! Reading recent reviews written by modern readers—a bare dozen or so—I recognized in their writings precisely how I felt about the book: mesmerized and changed. Most reviewers were both disturbed by the fact that such a life-altering book could have been given a cold shoulder, lasting a swiftly-approaching two centuries. I, too, could subjectively relate to that experience; I wanted to share my love for this work with someone—anyone—but there were none to be found. It is out of this frustration that I write; my presuppositions and inevitable biases are self-evident. I will mostly engage with the book’s profound first twelve pages (in the Hongs’ English translation). My purpose is modest: to briefly summarize Kierkegaard’s thoughts and provide some of my own unscientific remarks.Kierkegaard begins his masterpiece by (re)introducing his reader—“that single individual”—to a well-known verse out of Luke’s Gospel: “Every tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush” (6:44). Immediately he launches an attack on all reductionist empirical physicalism: If “we should believe nothing that we cannot see with our physical eyes, then we first and foremost ought to give up believing in love.”[1] He wants nothing to do with naturalistic approaches to reality; he slams his book shut in the face of all such readers. If one is to proceed reading his book on love, one must first begin by assuming the critical[2] position that reality as we know it with our empirical senses should be doubted. This is not all there is to life as we know it. Kierkegaard clearly sees love as something that falls, in some mysterious way, out of the ordinary—it is not to be entirely reduced to physical processes which can be observed with the human eye and mind. This point must be pressed if modern readers, who are almost always grounded in scientific naturalistic approaches to anything and everything, are to understand where Kierkegaard stands on this issue—he would have atomically blasted the likes of Helen Fisher’s Why We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love[3] out of its turbid waters, no questions asked. Kierkegaard sees those who reduce everything to atoms as incapable of robustly understanding and subjectively embracing love. For such people, love is an “eternal loss, for which there is no compensation…”[4] Those who live such lives are ultimately “deceived.”[5]Modern readers may find this anti-physicalism to be something which inherently makes Kierkegaard’s conception of love wrong-headed. Is not science the greatest asset humanity has had, well, in a long time? But Kierkegaard is very careful with what he chooses to say and what he does not. He foresees that his approach presupposes the existence of God and that Love is to be ontologically grounded in God. “[A] human being’s love originates mysteriously in God’s love.”[6] Love, which is in God, is the source which fuels all other so-called loves. Kierkegaard makes some further axiomatic statements: Love “connects the temporal and eternity” and is, therefore, “before everything and remains after everything is gone.”[7] Simply put: love is eternal. Why, then, cannot empirical physicalists (or, materialists, if you will) actually really love? Kierkegaard believes that because love is eternal—and since the eternal is what the physicalist disbelieves—he or she has “an enormous relief to cast off this bond of eternity.”[8] The physicalist, in his rejection of the supra-natural eternal, is, by inference, rejecting true love. Christian love, Kierkegaard argues, which is to be identified as the true form of love, has nothing to do with those aesthetic poets. Christian love is eternal and, therefore, never perishes. The poets write about a love which blossoms—if something blossoms, it must die. “What the poet sings about must have the sadness, which is the riddle of his own life, that it must blossom—and, alas, must perish.”[9] In a paradoxical way, in denying true Christian eternal love, the physicalist, who rejects eternity, is stuck recycling “blossoming love” in an ever-increasing state of “sadness”—while he rejects suffering and sorrow, he still ends up wallowing in it! (In this perfect example, one can paraphrase with Kierkegaard, “Do it or do not do it—you will regret both.”)[10] Granted, some of us may disagree with Kierkegaard, but that is all beside the point. (For atheist and theist alike can benefit from his through analyses of love.) However, Kierkegaard does consider these presuppositions important—despite what one ultimately chooses to do with them.In several tightly-packed sentences, Kierkegaard comments, regarding the physicalist who gave up on love, “That he ‘has seized to sorrow’ we shall not deny, but of what benefit is that when it would be to his salvation to begin in earnest sorrow over himself!”[11] This sentence, if superficially skimmed over, can lead to disastrous results. Kierkegaard is clearly and concisely stating that love is equivalent to sorrow. This observation of his is not to be missed; it is one of the key marks of Christian love. Kierkegaard is here identifying for the readers what the physicalist knew all along: to love someone truly is to suffer, to have sorrow. But from whence did such an idea arise? Kierkegaard, as many already know, was a devout Christian, a reader of the Gospels. And in the Gospels, Kierkegaard saw what it cost God to love the world. He saw what it meant to lay a life down for somebody else. Somebody effectively unworthy. Kierkegaard instinctively knew the price one had to pay to really love. Love has an inverse relationship with power and control: those who have more power and control usually have less love; those who love most have the least amount of influence and power in a relationship. And where exactly does one find such a self-less love?Kierkegaard insists that “Every tree is known by its own fruit.” He wants the readers to realize the importance of loving intentions, amplified by sound waves used to carry loving words, which result in loving actions. Herein lies the secret to Works of Love. In a similar vein, probably inspired by Kierkegaard, Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes, and I will quote him at length:“There is an old argument about whether only the will, the act of the mind, the person, can be good, or whether achievement, work, consequence, or condition can be called good as well—and if so, which comes first and which is more important. This argument, which has also seeped into theology, leading there as elsewhere to serious aberrations, proceeds from a basically perverse way of putting the question. It tears apart what is originally and essentially one, namely, the good and the real, the person and the work. The objection that Jesus, too, had this distinction between person and work in mind, when he spoke about the good tree that brings forth good fruits, distorts this saying of Jesus into its exact opposite. Its meaning is not that first the person is good and then the work, but that only the two together, only both as united in one, are to be understood as good or bad.”[12]Like Bonhoeffer, Kierkegaard is not entirely a Kantian deontologist, neither is he a J. S. Mill consequentialist/utilitarian; he is both. He refuses to dichotomize and pit one against the other. He refuses to call “love” that which results in evil. He refuses to call “love” that which is done out of evil, which happens to result in what appears to be a loving action. He refuses to take that step. He sees love as both being done out of a loving heart (deontological approach), spoken with loving words, resulting in loving actions (consequentialist approach). That, for him, is love par excellence. “Every tree is known by its own fruit.” Love must produce fruit; it must result in what is perceived to be a loving action. Kierkegaard, ever the skeptic, rightly delves into the subjectivity (or, inter-subjectivity) of love. What if one is deceived by someone into thinking the fruit is “love” when it is not? What if someone is self-deceived into thinking the fruit is “love” when it is not? How does one know what is love? Do not all of our subjective worldviews come into play? Kierkegaard is completely aware of such subjective elements. It happens “when a person makes the mistake of calling something love that actually is self-love, when he loudly protests that he cannot live without the beloved but does not want to hear anything about the task and requirement of love to deny oneself and to give up this self-love of erotic love.”[13] “Can love be reduced to a particular phrase or word?” Kierkegaard asks. “Words and phrases and the inventions of language may be a mark of love, but that is uncertain.”[14] He continues: “In one person’s mouth the same words can be so full of substance, so trustworthy, and in another person’s mouth they can be like vague whispering of leaves [with no fruit found on the tree].”[15] He believes in speaking loving words, but he is aware of two things: (1) the subjectivity of understanding the spoken and (2) the inability of any human to reduce love to a single word. Kierkegaard asserts that “you should not for that reason hold back your words,” for “ whoever is an object of your love has a claim upon an expression of it also in words…”[16] Kierkegaard sees duty-based (i.e., deontological) ethics at work here. He believes that if one is so moved inwardly to love somebody else, one is bound to express verbally his or her feelings. The object of your affection already has a deontological claim upon your words. What if love results in nothing but Taylor Swift’s lyrics? What if love is nothing but a love song, a poem, a whispered verse from Shakespeare in the ear of the beloved? What if love is only a word? “[I]mmature and deceitful love is known by this, that words and platitudes are its only fruit.”[17] Kierkegaard outright rejects any so-called Taylor Swift approach towards love, which is grounded in nothing but temporal sensuality, obsession with sex, and objectification of the “other-self.” Such verbalizations and erratic gesticulations are nothing but the bastard child of the whore, self-love.“There is no word in human language, not one single one, not the most sacred one, about which we are able to say: If a person uses this word, it is unconditionally demonstrated that there is love in that person. On the contrary, it is even true that a word from one person can convince us that there is love in him, and the opposite word from another can convince us that there is love in him also.”[18]Earlier, Kierkegaard remarked that love is “invisible” and that it must simply be “believed” in.[19] Precisely because of its “invisibility,” love cannot be reduced to a particular word or even action. When dealing with the question of reducing love to a particular work, Kierkegaard states that everything “depends on how the work is done.”[20] He rejects the idea that love can be reduced to one, single work.“[E]ven in charity, visiting the widow, and clothing the naked do not truly demonstrate or make known a person’s love, inasmuch as one can do works of love in an unloving, yes, even in a self-loving way, and if this is so the work of love is no work of love at all.”[21]Here, precisely, those who ignorantly accuse Kierkegaard of a pietistic works-righteousness approach fail miserably. For Kierkegaard does not believe that works in and of themselves are “good”; they must be done with right intentions, gracefully reflecting the “Initial Love,” which flows eternally from God Himself. Moreover, those who want to accuse Kierkegaard of strict consequentialism or Utilitarianism also fail miserably: no such thing is present in any absolute form here. No, what is of utmost importance is: “How, then, the word is said and above all how it is meant, how, then, the work is done—this is decisive in determining and in recognizing love by its fruits.”[22]The question then arises: What if somebody’s love is not recognized as such? What if, in loving somebody else, that certain somebody misunderstands me and my actions, and takes them to mean something other than love? Kierkegaard believes that such a person must not “work so that love will be known by the fruits but to work so that it could be known by the fruits.”[23] He is not saying that your love, as such, will be recognized; he is saying that it could be recognized. This is not an imperative to make love known to the other; this is, rather, a statement in the subjunctive: works of love must be done in such a way that they might bring about works which are interpreted to have been done in love. There is no guarantee that such works will be labeled “love.” There is uncertainty here.What if somebody reads the Gospels and then starts judging how much others love, is that appropriate? Kierkegaard responds with a resounding “No!” For “the one who is busily occupied tracking down hypocrites, whether he succeeds or not, had better see to it that this is not also a hypocrisy, inasmuch as such discoveries are hardly the fruits of love.”[24] In judging others, we are judging ourselves. The Gospel is not a weapon to be used against others; rather, it is a mirror in which one examines oneself.We are, finally, back to where we initially started. “The first point developed in this discourse was that we must believe in love—otherwise we simply will not notice that it exists…”[25] Here, Kierkegaard insists that only the believers see love; only those seeing love believe.“Therefore the last, the most blessed, the unconditionally convincing mark of love remains—love itself, the love that becomes known and recognized by the love in another. Like is known only by like; only someone who abides in love can know love, and in the same way his love is to be known.”[26]Kierkegaard is insisting that love requires the acceptance of this axiomatic statement: believe that love exists. For only in believing that it exists will it actually spring into existence.To conclude this somewhat lengthy look at only a few pages of the text, I would like to briefly reflect on the overall impression this particular chapter made on me. I am thoroughly convinced that Kierkegaard is right in arguing immediately that love is subjective. That does not mean that love is not absolute. It is absolute, and has its grounding in an objective God. However, love is subjective in the sense that we can all be hearing the same thing from a particular person and only one of us may react in a loving reciprocal manner. That is, only one may actually subjectively feel love being conveyed. Romeo may objectively be verbalizing feelings of love—feelings which none of us could subjectively relate to. An objective event may be taking place (in fact, it is) but not all of us have subjective access to that objective reality. We all know that Romeo directed his loving words, carried on sound waves, to one person and one person only: Juliet. While those sound waves could have been recorded and examined objectively by a team of empirical scientists, love would never be conveyed in their thorough analysis. Not a single scientist would fall in love with Romeo. Not a single scientist would intuitively and subjectively know and experience the love contained in those words. In this sense—in this thoroughly Kierkegaardian approach—the love which is ejected from the innermost part of a human being is specifically directed, like a beam of light, at a particular person in a particular moment. Apart from all of these tautological statements (e.g., statements such as “loving is believing, believing is loving”), at least that is how some may view them, Kierkegaard correctly observes that, paradoxically, love begins with belief. One begins by believing in love—one presupposes that love exists in the other human being. Once love is presupposed in the other, then love is experienced by the one presupposing. “Like is known only by like.” If you want to see love in another human being, first believe that he or she is loving. If you want to receive love from another human being, first believe that he or she is capable of loving you. In such a way, love is an act of faith. If there is one thing Kierkegaard wants you to walk away with from reading the first chapter, it is this: believe in love. Apart from belief, there is nothing but poetic “sadness.” If you want to remain stuck in a never-ending cycle of self-love and a refusal to really love, then you can feed on the “blossoms” of temporal “love.” As for me and my household, we are taking a leap of faith.Works of Love goes on to develop other ideas about love. Kierkegaard deals with self-love and its inherent problems, the categorical imperative and the “You shall love” command, the problem with preferential love (such as erotic love and friendship), the importance in distinguishing between true “others” and the “other-self,” etc. He does all of this in merely the first few chapters of the work. If you enjoyed this paper, please go out, do yourself a favor, and buy a copy. Read it.

Here it is. How to apply the love of God, as taught to us by Jesus, in the reality of daily life. No fancy formulas here, no clever platitudes, just the truth. A tremendous reconcilitation of the supposed contradiction between works and faith as the basis of salvation, Kierkegaard shows that in fact the letter to the Galatians explains that the essence of Christianity's message is faith, working through love. Hence, "Works of Love". This is Kierkegaards' magnum opus. Not for the faint of heart nor anyone looking for an easy answer, yet amazingly simple and honest. Completely vindicates Soren Kierkegaard from the charge by narrow traditionalists ( most of whom have never read anything he wrote ) that he was not a genuine Christian, perhaps not even a Christian at all. If you wish to follow Christ, follow Kierkegaard. He is a trustworthy guide.

Exactly what my brother in-law ordered.

Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love God and love others. Kierkegaard profoundly expands upon this command. I know of no other book like it. Since God is love, and love is central to the Gospel, then it makes sense to study and think about love as deeply as we can. How do we truly love others? Kierkegaard helps provide an answer.

Very thought-provoking writing. Give yourself time to read slowly. Kierkegaard is hard to "skim." I am only partway through and have already been blown away by some very deep thoughts and memorable prose.

I wanted the calendar shown, and like the other reviewer received a calendar with other photos. TO be exact, 4 of the 12 do not match and I really do NOT like the photos they used instead. Returning thanks to Amazon's return policy

The calendar advertised was not the calendar I recieved.

This is a large calendar. I did not check it's dimensions, but it did fit where I wanted to hang it.

As described, packaged well

Lots of good scenic shots!

Love the calendar

I purchased this calendar at a local store and find it lovely. The photo in the listing has 4 photos different than found in the calendar. You get Kofa National Wildlife Refuge, Arizona, Santa Fe National Forest (aspen close-up), Castle Crags, CA, and Bears Ears, UT (Anasazi dwellings nestled in red rock) instead of the ones listed as Maui, Everglades, Redwoods, and Great Basin.

As noted, the actual pictures in the calendar are different and significantly less attractive than those shown. I returned it, there are better options.

I thought it was excellent. He discussed the results of many scientific studies about the dangers of pesticides in clear non technical terms. In short, he translated technical data into understandable language for the average reader. This book is the most complete, recently published book I know of which describes in depth the present and probable future health risks humans face as a result of GMO's and pesticides in or on our food. His charts correlating the increase use of GMO's and spraying since the mid 1990's with the increase in serious health problems like diabetes, cancer, autism, etc is illuminating and disturbing.

Acres magazine interviewed the author, Andre' Leu. The book, The Myths of Safe Pesticides, is more than worth the time & money spent in reading it. As a consumer of organically grown or wild food, plus using all certified organic cotton & wool & hemp for clothing, shoes, & bedding, I thought I would learn a little, but the book was more than worthwhile.

Incredibly good book. Great read. When you look up the studies and read the abstracts on the 'net - and link them, the GMO and poison crowd don't swallow it, but it is very educational, and i believe provides refutations to all the GMO and poison "rationales" except the unspoken one: "WE WANT BUCKS".

Quite technical but well researched and great info. Not too hard to read.

This book should be read by every American. The way pesticides and other poisons are tested is dangerous to our health. Organic farmers prove all the time that these poisons are not needed to be able to farm. I urge everyone to get it and read it. And to buy organic food.

This is an important book to consider alongside new thinking about restoration of soils.

If you eat you need to read this! This author actually sites his sources which are fantastic reads also.

Right in the preface to The Myth of Safe Pesticides, we learn the secret formula to stop the madness: pesticides create pests, they don't control them. Biodiversity is our best friend in dealing with pest problems.The rest of The Myth of Safe Pesticides is a hailstorm of facts. There is no padding, no narrative, no tangents, no stories of suffering or redemption, no sugarcoating. Rather than a personal rant, Leu lets the scientific studies speak for themselves. And there are hundreds to choose from.Each chapter dispels a myth about the safety of pesticides, and by extension, the government regulators and corporate community evaluating them:1. All agricultural poisons are rigorously tested. Actually, of the more than 88,000 chemical compounds unleashed on the world since the end of World War II, only a few hundred have been (incorrectly) tested, only three have ever been banned, and none have been tested in combination with any of the others, inside the human body.2. Very small amount. The old adage is the dose makes the poison. Actually, the body doesn't care about massive amounts. It's the tiniest parts per billion and even trillion that latch on to proteins, hormones and cells, block communications from the brain, disrupt the stability of the network, and create massive imbalances in cell growth (cancers) and the various "new" chronic diseases of the past 25 years. It's the tiny amounts that kill.3. Breakdown - modern pesticides rapidly degrade. Actually, residues concentrate the poisons. When toxic poisons break down (biodegrade) they can become oxons, 100 times more toxic than the original pesticide. Glyphosate (Roundup) at residue levels induces human breast cancer cells to multiply 8-13 times. It grows cancer.4. Reliable Regulatory Authorities. Actually, they can be counted on for absolutely no protection whatsoever. See my review of Poison Spring by a 25 year veteran of the EPA.5. Pesticides are essential to farming. Actually, yields are higher and the earth richer and far more stable without them. Such crops also withstand extremes, now a common occurrence, far better than pesticide and chemical fertilizer farming. And they reduce the cost of farming substantially.Much like the tobacco scandal, the bodies are piling up. The charts of chronic diseases all turn parabolic in the early 90s, as Roundup spread around the world. They continue their straight up increase year over year. Unprovable coincidence? Not according to the studies. The 2010 US President's Cancer Panel Report clearly lays out that environmental toxins are the main cause of cancers. Yet government not only won't ban them, it won't test them, and actually defends the manufacturers against countries that do.So,-77% of fresh fruit and vegetables in the USA have residues of pesticide.-47% of food in the USA has measurable amounts of multiple pesticide residues.-Systemic poisons are absorbed into all parts of the plant, so washing them removes very little of the poisons.-Botulism and other food scares are increasing in animals and our food supply because pesticides damage bacteria and enzymes in the gut microbiome that regulate homesostasis - balanced health - of the animals we raise.-Some rain in Europe contains so much pesticide it could not be distributed for drinking.Leu concludes there is no credible science to guarantee that any level of exposure is safe.And if poisoning their customers and the planet were not enough, debt purchasing of GMO seeds and pesticides has driven 284,000 farmers in India to commit suicide since 1985. This compares to zero suicides by non GMO farmers using native seeds in the same period. Another unprovable coincidence? How many do we need?David Wineberg

This is one of three books I took on a very recent 14-day tour of Tuscany and Umbria. (The others were Michelin Tuscany and Blue Guide Tuscany.) I had a rental car and I mainly visited the smaller places (Orvieto, Montepulciano, Pienza, ...) This Rough Guide has three authors and is very well balanced. At least one author knows a lot of history and art history, so the book has substantial depth for the serious traveler. (The Blue Guide has even more depth, and I'd whip that out for a second opinion.) I also frequently followed the Rough Guide's recommendations for hotels and restaurants, and my experiences were generally excellent. If I had to limit myself to one book, this would be it.

Great book with " local " insights ... Tried lots of suggestions and wasn't disappointed ever !Especially the restaurants. ! Excellent fun guide to Tuscany. !

I relied on the reviews of others on like products. I found this book to be as billed. It is working for me.

good travel guide

Rough Guide is my fav reference for Tuscany/Umbria. The new color photos & better grade of paper are nice but the content was disappointing. This is supposed to be an updated version yet there are no websites listed for any museos, ristoranti & most hotels. One can find better info @ Trip Advisor.

A wonderfully detailed guide that took us to many special places in Umbria. It was especially nice to have it on the iPad and iPhone, since we were only using the Umbria section.

this was a gift for friends traveling to Italy. they loved it. i love the Rough Guide series for italy and sicily.

When this came in the mail today I had not anticipated the sheer size and weight of the book - it is Very heavy for a book may I warn you. I couldn't help but fan over it's pristine cover - and this was just the magnetic shell - the book itself was just stunning. (the product picture depicts the orange slip-on tracer cover as a solid color but you can actually see through the material.)It's definitely a worthy buy for it's price, and even more if you love the game and the art. It contains a lot of concepts, sketches and descriptions of all aspects of the design that went behind this game including skins, maps, ability effects, weapons, and more. As an art student striving to go into the field of character/game design myself, I find the process of developing an idea from the initial sketch to the final confirmed design is really eye opening and interesting. It inspires me to get in more practice and up my skill level. c:I would give the product quality a 4.5 if I could. I half expected the prints to be bigger, but they've got the same dimensions as the book. Was a little more disappointed when they were photos you could find online, but it doesn't matter much.The back cover of the book had a few light scrapes, and the short ends of the magnetic cover box don't fit perfectly under the magnetic cover. (it's a bit Tilted and the magnetic cover-box feels a bit fragile.) The slightly angled box sides don't hinder any storing or placement anywhere, i'm just picky with quality. It's not too noticeable unless you stare at it. I'd recommend setting it down on it's flat side so the weight of the book and the prints inside don't misshape the box any further.All in all, this is probably one of my favorite things I own now.Can't wait to read it over a few dozen times when I get the chance!

IT ARRIVED!!It’s about an inch thick, weighing at around 8 pounds total. The acetate tracer slipcover looks great and the clamshell box is massive, simple, yet beautiful. The prints are thick with a nice gloss to them. They have been carefully placed in nice and sturdy portfolios with a fabric lining the portfolio to keep the print in mint condition. I half-expected them to come signed but I know better than that. Browsed through the book a little bit and there's tons of content, ranging from commentary, to earlier concept art, to skins—it's terrific.My camera does this no justice but it looks absolutely amazing and I love it! The team did a superb job putting this together. If you're a fan, the limited edition is definitely worth every penny. This art book is a must-have for Overwatch collectors!

A gorgeous art book, incredibly impressed with the packaging and prints, but was really bummed to find this random piece of tape on page 193 that left the page completely ruined. It has to be an issue from the manufacturer, as it was sealed and boxed separately from the Amazon packaging. For a $100 limited edition art book, they should have better quality control. 5 stars for content and overall presentation, 3 stars for quality control, average of 4 stars for me.

I forgot that I had pre-ordered this a few months prior and it was a nice surprise on my doorstep last night.The product is wonderful. Definitely a great book if you are a fan of Overwatch, Blizzard, or Video game style art. Some of the concept art is crazy to see. The art prints that are included are also a great addition.I really do like the book and will go back and visit it often. I would be giving this a five star review if it was not for the case/cover box being damaged. It seems like the book could be too heavy for the corners of the box. Though it is not a detriment to the book, it is the kind of thing I would have thought could have been seen before release.

This is 368 pages of full color images. Mmm..that freshly opened new book smell. Great art of book that gives you the origin of each character and its iteration phase images. Just a great beefy book. This sucker is heavy! The deluxe edition is really cool because they give you these hard surfaced folders with the Overwatch logo on them, that have exclusive prints in them. I pre-ordered this over the summer and I am glad it finaly got here.

Absolutely gorgeous and full of interesting information. All the bonus stuff is amazing too. If you love Overwatch and are a collector I definitely recommend buying this.

The clamshell box doesn't stay together as well as I would have liked, and there were some scratches on it out of the package. The art book itself is beautiful, and I've been looking through it since I got it today. Love the portfolio prints, and the slipcover is nice even if it's hard to put the book back into it. Some of the concept art for the heroes kind of make me wish they made it to the final game, but you can really tell how much love was put into everyone's designs.

This book shows more than the beautiful artwork of Overwatch. It goes into full detail about each character, map, and even origin stories of some classic characters. You’ll regret not getting this book if you’re interested in what makes Overwatch, Overwatch. Also, the limited edition is worth it because the tracer sleeve gives the book a nice touch. 10/10

Amazon.com Review

The subtitle says it all: Discovering Wine is, indeed, "a refreshingly unfussy beginner's guide to finding, tasting, judging, storing, serving, cellaring, and, most of all, Discovering Wine." If you thought you'd have to make a spectacle of yourself in public--sniffing corks, gargling bordeaux, etc.--in order to become educated on the subject of wine, relax. Author Joanna Simon makes it clear that even the most retiring persons can learn to judge wine without drawing attention to themselves. Using a combination of pictures and text, Simon describes the steps involved in tasting, serving, and storing wine. She offers suggestions for matching wines with different foods, then takes the reader on a tour of famous vineyards, explaining just what goes into a really fine vintage. Finally, she includes brief descriptions of the best-known wines from wine-growing regions the world over. So if you don't know your Asti from your Madeira, let Joanna Simon set you on the road to knowledge with Discovering Wine.

Better one is Wine for Dummies

older book, but still has a great amount of good need to know stuff.

I'm a beginner. When I received "Discovering Wine" by Joanna Simon as a gift, I felt intimidated. Would it be stuffy or over my head?Its strength is in the simple presentation of the facts. The chapters are clearly titled, like "Matching food with wine" and "Ways to store your wine." The writing is clean, though it comes across slightly elitist (ex: choosing 'wend' instead of 'wind,' noting a certain country produces a 'credible' variety of wine). It is balanced by an encyclopedic style, providing insight into the basics of wine appreciation.Many countries are highlighted for their vineyards and wines. Learn which wines are made where, and how the process is distinguished from country to country.The pictures are sharp, beautiful and informative. You'll see terraces of Germany, hills of Tuscany, and the mountains of Peru in sheer splendor and relevance.Especially useful for me was the lexicon of tasting terms, a brief lesson on wine tasting and what to look for, and a discussion (with perfect pictures) on which glasses and decanters to use.The weakest aspect of the book was the chapter on matching food and wine, but the weakness was not in the content, but in the brevity. Ten pages should have been 20.I fully recommend "Discovering Wine" by Joanna Simon as a first book.Anthony Trendl

Overall, this was a nice introduction to wine. However, it was obviously written in the early nineties, so the good year/bad year tips on many of the white wines that were not meant to age for ten years are kind of useless today (For some wines, 1987 may have been a good year if you drank it in 1991, but in 2001 it might taste a little closer to vinegar than you prefer.) But if you learn enough to know that the book you are reading is outdated, then you must have learned something. Three stars.

This is a really nice book, to get you started in wine appreciation.I also bought a Perfect Sommelier, because I wanted to taste the wine as soon as I bought it, instead of waiting years for it to be cellared. Use Google to search for it.The book really helped in locating some of the many varieties of wine that are available today. I love the 'Dummy' book too!

The book does a good job of briefing novice and experienced wine drinkers. I like the section on regions and explanations of varietals. Great coffee table book to educate and get friends interested in wines.
