Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Guild Book Edition. Hardcover A powerful, incisive portrait of the men who carried out the Japanese suicide missions during the Pacific campaign of World War II, and their role in prolonging the war. Between the early months of 1944 and V-J Day, the Kamikazes inflicted more damage on American naval vessels and caused more casualties to American Fighting men than any single Pacific land battle.

A unique insight into the working methods through which Chris Achilleos produces his enormous range of mesmerizing imagery, from seductive Amanonian beauties to fiendish barbaric aliens. This book examines several of his recent commissions stage by stage from initial concept to finished painting, and also looks into the background of earlier works by means of sketches and drawings and discussion of the ideas and eternal forces that shaped them. In the course of this many useful tips for the budding illustrator are dropped and it becomes clear that Achilleos has achieved that balance which artists in all fields aim for but rarely attain - the ability to achieve through hard work and perseverance an excellence that seems effotless and almost casual on first acquaintance.

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Guild Publishing. Hrdback. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Very slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Cuisine Santa combines all the style and flavour of haute cuisine with the healthiness of nouvelle cuisine - while avoiding the excessive calories of the former and the insubstantiality of the latter. It emphasizes the use of fresh fruits and vegetables, white meat, fish, and whole foods rather than red meat, processed foods, and fats, and employs healthful cooking methods, like steaming. Unlike other cuisines that use these ingredients and methods, Cusine Santa is neither puritan nor unsophisticated; the 120 recipes in this book have all the panache and subtlety of classic French foods, without being overloaded with fats and calories. The book is based on the work of a French cooking school, the Ecole de Cuisine Francaise Sabine de Mirbeck, and was written by its head teachers. The 160 colour photographs, which illustrate both the techniques and the finished dishes, have all been taken in the glorious surroundings of the school's eighteenth-century manor house in Sussex.
