    Este libro, escrito tanto para principiantes como para pintores experimentados, pretende enseñar las técnicas básicas necesarias para dominar el arte del dibujo, con explicaciones sencillas de los conceptos básicos y con muchos ejercicios y ejemplos claros.
    EL libro está organizado cómo si de una clase de dibujo de las que se imparten en las academias de arte se tratara, partiendo de un nivel de dificultad bajo. En otras palabras, enseña a dibujar desde la base, mostrando claramente las técnicas más elementales y progresando de la misma manera que lo hace un dibujo.

    "Aprender haciendo", donde el aprendizaje del dibujo comienza con la práctica real de un ejercicio y se intenta superar los retos que presenta el dibujo.
    "Análisis", donde se estudia el trabajo de otros artistas profesionales para ver cómo han resuelto con éxito ciertos efectos en sus dibujos.
    "Cuaderno", que nos permite examinar cada uno de los efectos y aplicaciones realizados durante los ejercicios, analizándolos individualmente.
    En definitiva, se trata de un curso completo de dibujo en un volumen, en el que los principiantes aprenderán a utilizar este medio de expresión artística, mientras que los artistas experimentados dispondrán de una herramienta útil para practicar, con nuevos consejos que les ayudará a mejorar su práctica del dibujo, y nuevos trucos y efectos que podrán incorporar a su repertorio.

    The music of Yes indelibly shaped the original sound of progressive rock. But the true tale of this landmark band goes well beyond headline-making albums like Fragile and Close to the Edge. In this book, Kevin Mulryne tells the absorbing story of the final Yes album of the 1970s, Tormato, uncovering myriad fascinating twists and turns for the first time.  
    “Tormato was my introduction to the music of the world’s greatest progressive rock band, and I have spent years finding out all I can about it,” explains Kevin. “I have spoken to fans, experts and many of the people who were there during the technical setup of the equipment, the recording of the album, and the creation of the artwork.” 
    “Along the way, I have learned a great deal about Yes, and the processes, frustrations and triumphs of recording a rock album in the late ‘70s. This is a deep dive into what makes an iconic band tick. I’m sure you will enjoy the journey as much as me!” 
    So what’s the real deal with Tormato? … Be prepared to be surprised.

    Xia Dynasty - The Myth and...

    The Xia Dynasty is often considered the first dynasty of China, marking the transition from a prehistoric era dominated by tribal alliances to a structured monarchy. However, much of what is known about the Xia comes from ancient texts written centuries later, blurring the line between history and legend. At the heart of this foundation myth is Yu the Great, a figure credited with taming the catastrophic floods that once plagued the Yellow River region. 
    According to traditional accounts, China before the Xia was ruled by the Five Emperors, semi-mythical sages who brought order and knowledge to early societies. The final ruler of this period, Emperor Shun, recognized Yu for his brilliance and appointed him to control the devastating floods that had threatened agricultural settlements for generations. Unlike his predecessors, who attempted to block or divert the waters, Yu devised a system of dredging and canal-building that allowed the floodwaters to drain naturally into rivers and the sea. His efforts reportedly took over a decade, during which he traveled across the land, surveying the terrain and directing large-scale labor projects. His selfless dedication won him the admiration of the people, and his success in flood control cemented his reputation as a leader with the Mandate of Heaven. 
    The concept of the Mandate of Heaven, though later fully developed under the Zhou Dynasty, has its roots in the Xia period. It suggested that rulers were chosen by divine will and that their legitimacy depended on their ability to maintain order and prosperity. Yu's ability to tame the floods demonstrated both his virtue and his right to rule. Upon Emperor Shun’s abdication, Yu became the first king of the Xia Dynasty, establishing a hereditary monarchy that would continue for generations.

    The Big Book of Pyramids Worldwide

    This book is intended as a survey of pyramids and possible pyramids worldwide. There are more than 50 different pyramids and sites reviewed. 
     I’ve broken this information into three sections as follows: 
     Best Known Pyramids-Those which are famous throughout the world and almost everyone knows about. 
     Lesser Known Accepted Pyramids-These are real documented sites which experts agree are real pyramids but not that well known throughout the world. 
     Possible Pyramid Constructions-These are likely pyramid constructions but not accepted by mainstream archeologists. Some are even the products of wishful thinking. However, all of these candidate structures I could find are included. 
     Many of the pyramid descriptions are from publically available articles. Some of the descriptions are also from my analysis of the individual structures and constructions. 
     In the book’s summary, there are also some discussions of other issues like pyramid ages, alignments, and who built them.
