About this product: Krukhaug takes nocturnal photographs, capturing the still urban landscapes of towns in Norway, Russia and London. These familiar and everyday landscapes are transformed by the photographers eye, reminding the viewer that there are not really any mundane places in the world, only our tired and jaundiced perspectives of them. Thirty-two colour photographs are presented here, introduced by Philip Chevron (from the Irish band The Pogues) and accompanied by a music CD that draws inspiration from Krukhaugs photographs by the Norwegian ambient/experimental band, Orangedark.
About this product: As a collector of venetian chevrons and trade beads for a little over 15 years, I find that this book, like all of their books (7 in all), is the best published reference material about chevrons yet. There is not one other book that comes close to having the amount of information or pictures that this book possesses. A MUST for any beginning collector; a very important tool to help you from becoming prey to the many frauds that have recently infiltrated the hobby. All you serious bead traders should already have these books.

About this product: I have long had this work and everytime I consult it I am able to find what I am looking for. Chevrons are strips of cloth worn on the upper sleeves by personnel of the Army, Marines, and Air Force to distinguish the various ranks (paygrades) and duty positions. The seemingly endless variety of them challenges the collector. In the US services, chevrons are worn only by enlisted men while in many foreign armies they are also worn by officers. They present a variety of collectibility. Before WW I they were made in the same background colors as the uniforms on which they were worn and were colored the same as the branch piping on the dress blue coat, the cap band, and the cord on the campaign hat. Army jargon also calls them stripes. This work covers only the U.S. Army. Up until partway into the WW I the Army used a variety of specialist marks and other devices worn in combination with the chevrons and often forming the central design in the insignia. In contrast to the US Navy which has a huge variety of marks, the Army ones were usually confined to the branch insignia or such trades and skills such as saddlers and gun pointers. Army chevrons since WW I have had the same or no devices on the insignia of rank, the indication of special skills being shown by "ground badges" pinned to the chest over the left pocket as contrasted with flight badges. This book is a must for the serious reference collection. It should be reprinted forthwith.
About this product: This is the story of Derek Bennett, an ordinary man with extraordinary talent, who started out mending cars in a lock-up garage in Salford and became one of the world's leading builders of racing cars. A quiet practical man, Derek designed and built racing cars that were almost guaranteed to win. Many of today's champions drove Chevrons early on in their careers, including Gilles Villeneuve, Brian Redman, Tim Schenken, Riccardo Patrese, Keke Rosberg, Jody Scheckter and Niki Lauda. Derek Bennett died in a hang-gliding accident in 1978, but the reputation of Chevron cars still exists.
