1. Peter Rice is undeniably one of the greatest structural engineers in history. This being so, one would expect that his writings would be at a level far above most people's heads. In this book that is simply not the case. Important and necessary information is presented in depth simply, but without over simplifying.

   Quite an interesting book, especially for young architects and architecture students.

1. It's been a long time since you wrote your review and said you wanted the video, but here's the link to it in case you have not found it: http://bookstore.csbsju.edu/sjub/product.asp?pf%5Fid=1020763540&catalog%5Fid=276&type=1&name=VIDEO+CLAY+WOOD+FIRE+SPIRIT&origination%5Fid=W&target=single%5Fview&referrer=catalog%5Fproduct%2Easp
   
   Great artist, great book and great show on PBS!!!!



2. This is an extraordinary book. Richard Bresnahan's life, and his pottery, reflect ancient traditions of Japanese pottery and Midwestern pragmatism. His arrival at St John's University where he establishes not only a new pottery but an inspiring lifestyle. This is the story of craftsmanship, spirituality, self-sufficiency and an environmentally alive way of life. The photos of the pottery are exquisite. The explanation of where the pottery fits into the tradition is informative. The story of the man - Bresnahan - and his passion for pottery is inspiring. You will learn about pottery in this book. More importantly you will be exposed to a way of living, a lifestyle of craft and an approach to the environment that is truly spiritual. I have been reading the sumptuous hard bound... but there is also a ... paperback version. This book would be an excellent gift book for any friend who is a potter or passionately involved with another craft. Bresnahan's life and work will inspire you to get out of the fast lane and find a more integrated way of living. You will return to this book over and over again. I have - and each time I learn something new, or some new insight breaks through the busy routines of family and work. The text is clear and to the point. The artfully done photos are a delight in themselves, with detailed captioning that describes the pottery piece, how it was fired and how it might fit into the ceramics tradition. A special thanks to the Afton Historical Society Press for putting out such a wonderful book.



3. I have NOT seen this book, but I saw the PBS special it is based on and that was 5 stars. I am in fact desperately looking for the video of it. Breshnahan is able to fuse his art, a sense of environmentalism, and a back to basics attitude to produce works of clay that are magnificent in of themselves, but the process behind making them is even more so. A great American artist.
