Porsche - Origin of the Species with Foreword

Porsche - Origin of the Species is the latest Porsche heritage book by renowned automotive historian Karl Ludvigsen.

Within Jerry Seinfeld s renowned Porsche collection resides an unassuming yet extraordinary piece of Porsche history: Porsche Gmund coupe 356/2-040. Captured exclusively for this book in a series of evocative portraits by acclaimed automotive photographer Michael Furman, 040's unsullied originality conveys with startling immediacy the combination of artistry, innovation and determination that went into its improbable creation. This cornerstone of the Seinfeld collection serves as the inspiration for Porsche - Origin of the Species, an in-depth exploration by the eminent automotive historian Karl Ludvigsen into the specific influences and circumstances that brought forth the first Porsche-badged sports cars.

How and when did the people of the Porsche firm find themselves in a sawmill in Gmund? What was the influence on the 356 of the cars and engines built by Porsche before and during the war? How and why was the first 356 shaped as it was? What was the real relationship between the tube-framed Type 356 roadster and the first 356/2 coupes? Questions like these deserve answers because the resulting DNA is so powerful, so robust, that it still influences the shape and style of Porsches well into the twenty-first century.

Karl Ludvigsen, author of the award-winning Porsche: Excellence Was Expected and Ferdinand Porsche Genesis of Genius, tackles these questions and more in Porsche - Origin of the Species. The saga that emerges encompasses mechanical revelations, human drama and the turmoil of world war. Porsche - Origin of the Species will appeal to all car enthusiasts who are eager to know what events really ignited the spark from which all other Porsches evolved.

Review
BOOK OF THE MONTH ... Ludvigsen's writing style is a captivating joy to read, plus the main text is accompanied by fascinating panels including Robert Cumberford on styling, Miles Collier on preservation and Alex Finigan on ownership. --Classic & Sports Car

It is a fascinating read and one that we would put in the Top 10 of Porsche books. At 356 pages, with a great deal of unseen archive material, and some genuine revelations, its asking price seems a genuine bargain. --911 & Porsche World

THE BOOK OF THE YEAR!...This book is quite possibly the best book published this year and we are certain it will appeal to all enthusiasts who are eager to know what events really ignited the spark from which all other Porsches evolved. --Classic Porsche Magazine

Already respected for his many automotive books, Karl Ludvigsen reaches higher yet with his new work, "Porsche - Origin of the Species." While one of his previous Porsche epics, "Excellence Was Expected," was considered the definitive history of the marque, his latest volume is crammed with new material, including first-time accounts of missing links in Porsche's evolution...much more than just a coffee-table decoration...definitely a keeper for Porschephiles and all car enthusiasts. --The New York Times

Such an immense and varied body of research is presented in as clear and concise a body of writing as I have lately encountered. Factor in the truly fine reproduction of photos, quality of paper and binding, great choice of type faces - and what we have is ample proof that books are in fact not a dying media. A splendid read by any calculation! --Porsche 356 Registry Magazine

From the Author
Porsche has many claims to uniqueness as a car maker. Here are a few of them:
* Throughout its life its auto manufacturing has been sister to a powerful product-engineering business with customers in all parts of the world.
* It has been a dedicated independent producer, in significant volume, of high-performance sports cars. In the 21st Century this image has been debased by its four-door adventures, but these too have sporting profiles.
* Until it hit the business buffers in 2009, Porsche was owned and controlled by powerful families that traced their origins to one iconic pioneer. No other car maker of substance could make that claim.
* Thanks to its steady production over the years of customer-friendly competition cars, Porsche can claim more victories and more championships than any other major marque.
For this author, however, one of Porsche's most fascinating characteristics is its powerful genetic makeup. It has been my privilege and pleasure to follow--in real time--the evolution of Porsche cars from the beginnings of 1948 to the present day. Over these years the pure Porsche, in the person of the 356 as it morphed into the 911, has staunchly represented the most robust bloodline in the motor industry.
Famously the 911 shrugged off all attempts to make it obsolete. In the late 1970s its sales refused to fall below the rate of 25 cars per day that then-chief Ernst Fuhrmann set as the minimum for production viability. When in 1981 new Porsche boss Peter Schutz asked, "What is the product we are making our money with?" he was told it wasn't the 928, whose volumes were too small. Neither was it the 924, which was made dealers happy but left little profit margin for Porsche. It was the long-neglected 911, which Schutz gave the kiss of life.
Another crisis was surmounted in the early 1990s with the launch of the Type 993. With its predecessor the 964, said new chief engineer Ulrich Bez, the management board "had come to the conclusion that the 911 was at its end." But instead of obliging them with something completely new, Bez created a new 911 in the shape of the 993, the last of the air-cooled Porsches.
"This was a car to decide whether or not Porsche had a future," said later chief Wendelin Wiedeking. "That was a very decisive car for Porsche," added engineer Volker Berkefeld. "It had to be good. Thank God it was good!" In model year 1996, with the cancellation of the 968 and 928 and the Boxster not yet launched, the 993 was the only car that Porsche could offer its network and its customers. Produced on Monday, July 15th, 1996, Porsche's millionth car was a 911 Carrera from the 993 range.
 Many forecast disaster for the 911 Carrera's transition to water-cooled power with the new Type 996 of the 1998 model year. Surely this would be more effete, less charismatic. But Porsche's engineers confounded the critics, creating a new 9l1 that was a fabulous basis for the development that still continues.
 One man had been the talisman for the 911's development, indeed for the continuity of the Porsche bloodline from the very beginning. He of course was Ferry Porsche. Ferry was in rude good health at the launch of the Boxster, the car that harked back to his original roadster of 1948. He was more fragile when he turned 88 years of age in September of 1997, when the new 996-based 911 Carrera was displayed for the first time at the Frankfurt Show.
 On March 27, 1998 Ferry Porsche died. The man who had served for so many decades as Porsche's "ideal customer" was no more. He was no longer available to motivate his team, to provide the touchstone that would determine whether a new-car proposal lived or died. Though he later had regrets about moving upstairs from the management board when all family members withdrew from Porsche management in 1972, Ferry had done his job well. Subtly, his views reinforced by the deep respect he commanded throughout the company and the Porsche world, Ferry guided the evolution of the model that was at the heart of Porsche's powerful appeal.
 The contribution of Ferry Porsche notwithstanding, the durability of the 356/911 concept has been unique in an industry that prides itself on being forward-looking. No other car maker can claim anything comparable. Chevrolet's Corvette is still with us after more than a half-century, however with sharp changes in styling and engineering that have vitiated any genetic continuity. Ferrari has remained true to its high-performance principles but with widely disparate designs. Both Jaguar and Aston Martin have struggled in the 21st century to reanimate DNA from their successful pasts.
 Only Morgan can point to a consistency of design that's comparable to that of the 356/911, dating from the introduction of its first four-wheeled model at the end of 1935. Using engines made by major auto companies, Morgan survives as a niche producer at three-figure annual volumes. Exemplary though its continuity has been, Morgan can't be seen as a challenger to the potency of the Porsche DNA.
 What has been the secret of the species Porsche? What has given it such strong survivability? Indeed it has been adaptable as well, elements of its strain being incorporated in such sharply differing models as the Cayenne and Panamera, making them visibly and identifiably members of the extended Porsche family. In part we can credit the continuity of Porsche's styling chiefs, from Erwin Komenda and Butzi Porsche through Tony Lapine and Harm Lagaay, not to mention such key interpreters as Dick Soderberg, Wolfgang Möbius, Pinky Lai and Grant Larson.
 Yet these men and others had to have something to work with, some starting point that could be identified as the origin of the species Porsche. Divining that origin is the purpose of this book. We know what the first Porsches looked like, the 356 variants of 1948 that established the lineage. But why did they look the way they did? What underpinned their design? What are the roots of the DNA that caused the 356 to be born with a configuration that departed so radically from the sports-car status quo?
 I invite you to join me as we turn back the clock to the late 1930s and the 1940s when the Porsche sports-car DNA was created. That's how far back we need to go to grasp the influences, the ideas, the men and the machinery that made up the Type 356. Some of the saga will be familiar but much will be new even to the most seriously shriven Porsche fanatic. It begins before World War 2 when the Porsche men created the car the world knew as the Volkswagen. Crude and humble though it was, it gave them plenty of ideas.

From the Inside Flap
We know what the first Porsche looks like, the Type 356 of 1948 that established the lineage. But why did it look the way it did? What underpinned its design? What are the roots of the DNA that caused the 356 to be born with a shape and style that departed so radically from the sports-car status quo? A DNA that still guides the design of the Porsches of the 21st century?
"It has been my privilege and pleasure to follow--in real time--the evolution of Porsche cars from the beginnings of 1948 to the present day," says author Karl Ludvigsen. "One of Porsche's most fascinating characteristics is its powerful genetic makeup. Over these years the pure Porsche, in the person of the 356 as it morphed into the 911, has staunchly represented the most robust bloodline in the motor industry.
"I invite you to join me," Ludvigsen continues, "as we turn back the clock to the late 1930s and the 1940s when the Porsche sports-car DNA was created. That's how far our time machine needs to go to show the influences, ideas, men and machinery that make up the genus Porsche. Some of the saga will be familiar but much will be new even to the most devoutly shriven Porsche fanatic."
If anything the author understates the revelations in his definitive story of the birth of the Porsche car. Reminding us of the magnificent Auto Union racers designed by Ferdinand Porsche, he shows the astonishing road-car versions that were designed and part-built--including a five-passenger model. Clearly sorted for the first time are the VW-based cars that Porsche designed during the 1930s and the radical ten-cylinder coupe planned to be the first "Porsche".
 Wartime advances not only aided the Third Reich's campaigns but also produced powerful versions of the VW engine that inspired work on the 356. Ludvigsen explains how and why Porsche's engineers were forced to move to Austria, including Ferdinand Porsche's successful negotiations with Albert Speer, who tried to block their emigration.
 The reader looks over the shoulders of the men and women who forged the productive relationship with Italy's Cisitalia after the war, in parallel with the vital Swiss contacts that led to car production in Austria. Revealed for the first time is the Type 352 that the Swiss hoped to build in that neutral nation. And the Cisitalia relationship gives birth to the Type 370, a sensational racing coupe that's one of the missing links in the creation of the 356.
 Each page of this surprising book reveals intimate details of the 356 creators. Ferry Porsche, Karl Rabe and Erwin Komenda have starring roles as do Louise and Anton Piëch. Fabled adventurer Laszlo Asmasy, immortalized as the "English Patient", has more than a walk-on role. Leading stylists, designers and executives give their perspectives on the Type 356 and its significance.
 At the heart of Porsche Species are superb images of one of the most treasured survivors of the era, 356/2-040 owned by actor-comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Porsche enthusiast par excellence. His enthusiasm shines through in the pages of this book, which was inspired by Seinfeld's passion for Porsches. Printed in lavish full-color and richly illustrated, it will appeal to all car enthusiasts who are eager to know what really happened at the turning points of history.

Porsche - Origin of the Species
By bill block
Carl Ludvigsen certainly has the lock on spectacular and spectacularly informative Porsche history book: first, in 1978, Excellence Was Expected, now out as a three volume edition 2.1 - unquestionably the best marquee history ever written, followed by Genesis of Genius, which took us from Professor Ferdinand Porsche's early years up to more or less the beginning of World War 2. Still awaited is a middle volume to filling this gap. Instead, we have Porsche Origin of the Species; which rather than be a standard chronological series draws together a series of sequential and parallel events, without any one of which there would be no Porsche.

Porsche father and son had always raced and been willing to spend un-booked company time designing cars. Sometimes this worked out, as with the design for Typ 22 Grand Prix car, which was purchased by Auto Union. Sometimes the designs appeared to be still born, as with the Typ 64 and Typ 114. Typ 64? I had taken it as an article of faith that the Typ 64 was the Porsche-side design number corresponding to the VW 60 10K - remember Typ 60 was Porsche's design number for the initial VW. Carl argues that the Typ 64 was not, even for the time, a particularly advanced design. Apparently Porsche developed the 60 10K as a purely VW effort - remembering of course that Porsche supplied the entire design and engineering staff to VW. The Typ 114 was the influential body design, on top of a VW-like pan. From there is not difficult to see the evolution; via the tube frame 356/1 and then the 356/2 bent sheet metal with attached aluminum body to the final monocoque.

On two levels the Cisitalia contract, which included several designs in addition to the nascent
Grand Prix car is just as important. First, is the well-known use of the Cisitalia payments to ransom/bail the Professor from his French prison. Not know to me at least is that the French government refunded the bail several years later. According to Piech, by the time the bail was returned, inflation was such that the funds were sufficient to buy several pair of shoes. Yet another necessary strand was the observation of the Cisitalia 202 - an expensive small sports car built from FIAT parts. This combined with the 60 10K was a necessary epiphany. Porsche would use VW parts to make a small but expensive sports car. Porsche also had a large, somewhat under employed, staff of around 150 in Gmünd; and Porsche was not loath to use them on an un-booked project. Perhaps most important: currency reform had come about and VW was paying royalties. Porsche had a money problem -- not too little but too much with its attendant tax liabilities. What better way to create a tax write-off than to build cars? There are perhaps half a dozen other threads woven into the story I haven't mentioned. It's not just the history, which is superb and has an amazing number of new facts, but the understanding of how they all interrelated and how they all had to happen and happen at the right time.

Finally we have the Mathé/Seinfeld Gmünd T 2222 ; Porsche 356/2-040, an Austrian Werkes engineering car until December of 1953, was purchased by Otto Mathé, who had previously purchased the Typ 60 10k in 1950. This is important since effectively Mathé was the car's only owner until his death fifty years later. Not clear is whether the car's rough condition is the way Porsche built it or patina acquired during Mathé's ownership. On one hand Carl relates the first Gmünd 356/2s shown in Switzerland had to be tarted-up to make them presentable and I was told while in Sweden Scania Vabis had to do the same with the last of Gmünd models. On the other hand, Otto Mathé was not one to baby his cars - while apparently never raced Porsche 356/2-040 was used as a tow car for his open wheel race car, and to this day wears a Werkes built roof rack for carrying tires. Unlike other high profie car T 2222 was not subjected to a restoration, but sympathetically gone through to make it safe to drive and close to original - for instance the reconversion to left had drive had been improperly executed. Now we get to the beauty of the book. The hstorical photographs come from the factory - one can't help wondering how many "previously unpublished" photographs still lurk in the Arkivs. The fly leaf and chapter heading photographs are beautifully shot by Michael Furman whle Klaus Schnitzler, Professor of Photography at Monclair State University, shot most of the contemporary photographs. Adding perspective and relating valued antidotes are Paul Russel on the restoration and Chuck Stoddard on the historical background and his own Gmünd coupe. And up front following Jerry Seinfeld's introduction is 356 Registry member, enthusiast and top flight automotive designer Freeman Thomas with "The Legacy of Erwin Komenda." I always learn something from Freeman- in this case the distinction between "floating" and connected shut lines.

As should be expected for $110.00, the reproduction and paper quality are superb. The book is large format - about a foot square, 343 pages. The only down side of a book this thick, is the tendency for its binding to separate - much like the original Excellence Was Expected - NEVER fold the covers flat, ALWAYS read on your lap or a Vee book stand.

By ZellamSee
Whoa!! I just received this book and it is one of the best Porsche related books to be released in a while. The book covers Seinfeld's Gmuend coupe (on the cover), but the book is so much more than that. As the title suggests, the book provides the history and origin of the Porsche automobile and Ludvigsen does this beautifully, with lovely detail and exquisite photos of people, documents, cars, etc. Wow! The book is done to a very high standard, printed on high quality paper. There are wonderful sidebar pieces in the book by many who have been involved with the design of Porsches (e.g., Freeman Thomas and Tony Hatter, among others) as well as those involved in the restoration of Seinfeld's car. Highest recommendation!!

Conversations with Scorsese, by Richard Schickel

Now in paperback, and with a new afterword: the history and process of moviemaking in general, and of Martin Scorsese's brilliant and varied films in particular, through the words and wit of the master director.

With Richard Schickel as the canny and intelligent guide, these conversations take us deep into Scorsese's life and work. He reveals which films are most autobiographical, and what he was trying to explore and accomplish in other films. He explains his personal style and describes many of the rewarding artistic and personal relationships of his career, including collaborations with Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Jack Nicholson, and Leonardo DiCaprio. An invaluable illumination and appreciation of one of our most admired film directors.

From Publishers Weekly
In this q&a-format biography, film critic and documentary filmmaker Schickel follows one of America's greatest directors on a journey through his life in cinema. An asthmatic, sickly child, Scor-sese used movies to escape from family tensions and the mean streets of New York's Little Italy. In a career now in its fifth decade, Scorsese has made over 20 feature films (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, etc.) as well as numerous documentaries. A cross between a film master class and after-hours jam session, the conversations range from Scorsese's Italian upbringing to Hollywood gossip to obscure silent films. Scorsese and Schickel's long friendship and their encyclopedic film knowledge bring a comfort and complexity to their interaction. Scorsese has always been a fluid raconteur, and Schickel brings out the best in him—not least of all because he's confident enough to disagree with the master. Scorsese's focus on the minutiae of his life and in his movies has given his work universal appeal. Anyone with even a passing interest in Scorsese's career or in film history will find a gem on every page. (Mar.)

From Booklist
Film-critic Schickel recently sat down with Scorsese for a series of late-night conversations. Stitched together here, they form an illuminating autobiography-cum-film-studies-course from one of the nation�s foremost directors. Scorsese speaks candidly about his childhood in Little Italy and his escape into the movies of the 1950s; his pivotal experiences at the NYU film school and his early student efforts; and, of course, his phenomenal filmmaking career, from his 1967 debut, Who�s That Knocking at My Door, through last year�s Shutter Island. The in-depth treatment provides fascinating insights into Scorsese�s films; even his most obsessed fans will discover new revelations, and hearing him discuss his entire body of work in a single lengthy narrative ties such outliers as The Age of Innocence and Kundun to more-characteristic masterworks like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. Both Schickel and Scorsese are utterly movie-obsessed, so a significant chunk of the conversation is inevitably devoted to the classic films they both love; for cinephiles, these passages, where two passionate and supremely informed fans articulately chat about the subjects of their fixation, might be the most rewarding part of this fascinating document. --Gordon Flagg

Review

"Blend one great film critic with one great director. Lace with a mutual love of film history and heaping portions of insight, empathy, and fellowship. Richard Schickel’s Conversations with Scorsese is a richly textured and totally engaging triumph."
-Leo Braudy, author of The Hollywood Sign: Fantasy and Reality of an American Icon
 
“I loved it.  It offers all the pleasures of eavesdropping on a riveting and wonderfully entertaining private conversation.”
            -Ron Howard
 
“Conversations with Scorsese is the My Dinner with Andre of movie books . . . only much better. Schickel’s relaxed, but astute questioning has bought out the very best in Scorsese, and generated thoughts and memories from him that have never been published before. The two men are not only having a real conversation but also having fun doing it. This book is a treasure, and anyone who loves Scorsese’s work should own it.”
            -Jeanine Basinger, The Star Machine
 
“What a high for film lovers, this conversation between one of America’s greatest directors and a similarly eminent critic. The two cinephiles bring together Scorsese’s life and career from various perspectives, encompassing the trauma and betrayals of a mean-street childhood, the genesis and on-the-set details of each movie, the films and people that have shaped his directorial personality. Schickel offers insights and criticisms along with empathy and the intimate film knowledge to spark fresh and interesting insights from the king of mavericks in a retrospective mood. Wide-ranging and astute, it’s film school on steroids.”
-Molly Haskell, author of Frankly, My Dear: Gone with the Wind Revisited
 
“Conversations-with-directors books can go one of two ways: Either the directors want to analyze their work, or they don’t. Those who do either obscure the films with trivial esoterica or—as is the case with Martin Scorsese, in Richard Schickel’s Conversations with Scorsese—illuminate their choices with a pragmatic instinct verging on the intimate, as though they were discussing not shots and lenses but their own biography.”
            -Sam Wasson, LA Weekly
 
 “Putting [Martin Scorsese and Richard Schickel] together is a perfect pairing for an epic discourse about the movies . . . Conversations with Scorsese is likely to stand as the definitive source for Scorsese’s views because he is so engaged—and because Schickel knows just the questions to ask . . . Schickel makes no secret that he is a fan and a friend. Still, he challenges the director, presses a point and states outright whether a particular film works for him. He also manages to keep Scorsese on topic without missing an opportunity to explore an interesting tangent. And there are plenty of tangents—just what you would expect in a spirited back-and-forth between two cinephiles at the top of their game.”
            -Douglass K. Daniel, Associated Press
 
“A veritable library of criticism and collected interviews has been published on Martin Scorsese in the last ten years, but none remotely as valuable as this entry . . . The combination of [Schickel’s] insightful questions and Scorsese’s rapid-fire patter and stream-of-consciousness style makes this an educational and entertaining read . . . Both men’s excitement and admiration for the art and history of filmmaking fills every page. This is no shallow series of how and why questions but a true conversation about art and how one individual has endeavored to create it  . . . Readers will be left simply wanting more. Perhaps the definitive piece of self-commentary that will ever be produced about the work of Scorsese.”
            -Starred review, Library Journal
 
“Schickel almost always strikes the right interrogatory note . . . Along the way, Scorsese and Schickel, who are both steeped in film history, share views about dozens of old pictures—their opinionated enthusiasm should lengthen many Netflix queues. Offering a deep look into the aesthetic, technical and commercial realities of filmmaking, Scorsese provides intimate details about the making of his acknowledged masterpieces . . . Scorsese emerges as a fascinating, obsessive, complex guy. He has always seemed the most companionable of film artists, and, except for his own expansive, autobiographically driven documentaries on American and Italian movies, this is the most probing and enjoyable explication of his accomplished career. A feast for cineastes.”
            -Kirkus
 
“A cross between a film master class and after-hours jam session . . . Scorsese and Schickel’s long friendship and their encyclopedic film knowledge bring a comfort and complexity to their interaction. Scorsese has always been a fluid raconteur, and Schickel brings out the best in him . . . Anyone with even a passing interest in Scorsese’s career or in film history will find a gem on every page.”
            -Publishers Weekly
 
“An illuminating autobiography-cum-film-studies-course from one of the nation’s foremost directors . . . The in-depth treatment provides fascinating insights into Scorsese’s films; even his most obsessed fans will discover new revelations, and hearing him discuss his entire body of work in a single lengthy narrative ties such outliers as The Age of Innocence and Kundun to more-characteristic masterworks like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. Both Schickel and Scorsese are utterly movie-obsessed, so a significant chunk of the conversation is inevitably devoted to the classic films they both love; for cinephiles, these passages, where two passionate and supremely informed fans articulately chat about the subjects of their fixation, might be the most rewarding part of this fascinating document.”

Marvelous. Almost Startling.
By S. Lawrence
In our vulgar era, when the word "Celebrity" has been entirely divorced from "Worthy of Being Celebrated", Richard Schickel's Conversations with Scorsese is more than a damn good read; it's a restoration. What's being restored to our Access Hollywood-drenched culture is the notion art comes from inspiration, yes, but also hard work, seriousness of purpose, and intelligence. The line where Scorsese explains why he had to make Mean Streets just grabbed me. That's what art is--taking the truth of someone's life and expressing it, not in a navel-gazing way but as a way to touch upon something universal in the human condition.

Would just also add that Schickel's knowlege of film and filmmaking is right up there with Scorsese's well-know encyclopedic mind. "You know that 1928 film by Joe Blow from Prague?" "Oh, yeah, I loved that film." "The colors in it were amazing." "Yeah, that second act when the green tugboat is going up the gray Danube." "Kind of a silvery gray." "Fantastic." (Completely made-up dialogue to illustrate a point. No extra charge!)

A Charismatic Way to Write a Book
By Edward S. Brown
Richard Schickel's,"Conversations with Scorsese" is the first book I've ever read where the entire book is in a "Q & A" form equivalent to a long conversation.

There are several nuggets within "Conversations with Scorsese" that can be utilized within any industry.

1. Choose a profession that you have an undying love for and immerse yourself in your craft.

2. Within your vocation, become a historian of the past accomplishments of individuals who helped advance the industry.

3. Use the styles and patterns of past and present practitioners within your industry to lay a strong foundation.

4. Develop and create a body of work that is specific to your experiences.

5. Consistently fight for unadulterated ways of expressing your creativity without compunction.

6. Although you may be passionate about creating a body of work, realize that you are only one piece to a larger puzzle. Your work is built from the producers who came before you. And future generations of creators will build their work on the legacy you leave behind.

7. Be introspective enough to embrace your strengths and weaknesses.

"Conversations with Scorsese" exemplifies a charismatic way of writing a book that is active and engaging. The strength of the book lies in the ability to create a visual, auditory masterpiece using words as a medium. This creativity comes through the actual dialogue rather than the flowery prose found in traditional writing styles.

I highly recommend this book based on the legendary Martin Scorsese as well as a style of writing in step with the visual necessity of contemporary society.

Scorsese in Detail
By Richard Harborough
This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the intricacies of the filmmaking process from inception to script to filming to finally editing and releasing the film. If you've ever wondered what Scorsese's thought about one of his movies, the answer lies herein.

This extremely interesting and insightful book by filmmaker and reviewer Richard Schickel delves into Scorsese's origins to his film Shutter Island, essentially covering everything. The book goes in depth into just everything you could possibly want to know about the man or the films.

This book will hopefully be among the great film books in history, perhaps among such (now) classics as Francois Truffaut's famed interviews with Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense. If you are a fan of Scorsese and enjoy his films, I urge you to purchase this book. It's worth the price, and it's most definitely worth your time.

Climate Change and Philosophy: Transformational Possibilities (Bloomsbury Studies in Philosophy)From Bloomsbury Academic

Climate Change and Philosophy presents ten original essays by an international team of expert contributors, exploring the important contribution philosophical inquiry can make to contemporary debates to do with climate change and the global environment. Examining this hugely topical issue through the lens of environmental philosophy, political theory, philosophy of technology, philosophy of education and feminist theory, these essays interrogate some of the presumptions that inform modernity and our interaction with natural processes.
The book asks fundamental questions about human nature and, more importantly, the concept of 'nature' itself. The conceptual frameworks presented here contribute to an understanding of the processes of change, of social transformation, and the means of adapting to the constraints that problems such as climate change pose.
The book proposes a way of beginning the important task of rethinking the relationship between humanity and the natural environment. Through enquiry into the basic philosophical principles that inform modern society, each author asserts that reflection informs change and that change is both required and possible in the context of the environmental crisis facing us today.

Review
"This thought-provoking book is about the transformation of the modern, human world in the face of climate change. The authors take the interconnections between our changing climate, the shifting realities of modernity and philosophy itself very seriously, and if it were needed this book is proof that philosophy can make a contribution to humanity's most important conversation." (James Garvey, Secretary of the Royal Institute of Philosophy, and author of The Ethics of Climate Change)"

The Impossible Jew: Identity and the Reconstruction of Jewish American Literary History, by Benjamin Schreier

He destroys in order to create. In a sweeping critique of the field, Benjamin Schreier resituates Jewish Studies in order to make room for a critical study of identity and identification. Displacing the assumption that Jewish Studies is necessarily the study of Jews, this book aims to break down the walls of the academic ghetto in which the study of Jewish American literature often seems to be contained: alienated from fields like comparative ethnicity studies, American studies, and multicultural studies; suffering from the unwillingness of Jewish Studies to accept critical literary studies as a legitimate part of its project; and so often refusing itself to engage in self-critique.              The Impossible Jew interrogates how the concept of identity is critically put to work by identity-based literary study. Through readings of key authors from across the canon of Jewish American literature and culture—including Abraham Cahan, the New York Intellectuals, Philip Roth, and Jonathan Safran Foer—Benjamin Schreier shows how texts resist the historicist expectation that self-evident Jewish populations are represented in and recoverable from them. Through ornate, scabrous, funny polemics, Schreier draws the lines of relation between Jewish American literary study and American studies, multiethnic studies, critical theory, and Jewish Studies formations. He maintains that a Jewish Studies beyond ethnicity is essential for a viable future of Jewish literary study.

Analyzing Intelligence: National Security Practitioners' PerspectivesFrom Georgetown University Press

Analyzing Intelligence, now in a revised and extensively updated second edition, assesses the state of the profession of intelligence analysis from the practitioners point of view. The contributors―most of whom have held senior positions in the US intelligence community―review the evolution of the field, the rise of new challenges, pitfalls in analysis, and the lessons from new training and techniques designed to deal with 21st century national security problems. This second edition updates this indispensable book with new chapters that highlight advances in applying more analytic rigor to analysis, along with expertise-building, training, and professional development. New chapters by practitioners broaden the original volume's discussion of the analyst-policymaker relationship by addressing analytic support to the military customer as well as by demonstrating how structured analysis can benefit military commanders on the battlefield.

Analyzing Intelligence is written for national security practitioners such as producers and users of intelligence, as well as for scholars and students seeking to understand the nature and role of intelligence analysis, its strengths and weaknesses, and steps that can improve it and lead it to a more recognizable profession.

The most comprehensive and up-to-date volume on professional intelligence analysis as practiced in the US Government, Analyzing Intelligence is essential reading for practitioners and users of intelligence analysis, as well as for students and scholars in security studies and related fields.

Review

"Essential for practitioners and users of intelligence analysis, as well as for students and scholars in security studies and related fields."―The Intelligencer

"A 'must' for any collection interested in the latest security changes and practices"―Midwest Book Review

Review

"The last dozen or more years are replete with significant successes and failures of intelligence analysis. These essays make a unique contribution to dissecting the factors behind both, as well as offering broader perspectives and insights on getting the analysis right, effectively serving decision makers, and preserving the integrity of the effort. The authors are superbly qualified and I believe their contributions to the craft of intelligence will be both useful and lasting."―Robert M. Gates, former secretary of defense and former director of the CIA

"Analyzing Intelligence provides a superb and self-critical assessment of analyst roles in the collection, evaluation, and interpretation of information on the wide spectrum of issues germane to national security. All who work in and receive support from the intelligence community should read the outstanding essays in this collection."―Mike McConnell, former director of national intelligence

"Roger George and James Bruce have produced, in this new edition of their classic volume, the best source for wisdom on modern intelligence analysis. With important contributions from superstars in the US profession, this new edition is a landmark signifying professionalization of the intelligence enterprise. It deserves a place on every serious student and practitioner's bookshelf."―Jennifer Sims, senior fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, former deputy assistant secretary of state for intelligence coordination, and co-editor of Vaults, Mirrors, and Masks: Rediscovering US Counterintelligence

"Analyzing Intelligence is an impressively broad, deep, and comprehensive survey of the nature, problems, and coping techniques of the craft. The contributors combine professional experience and intellectual acuity in an ideal way for making sense of the psychological, political, and bureaucratic context of intelligence work. The book serves as a handbook for government analysts at all stages of their careers, and an eye-opening explanation of the process for outside observers. No other does so as thoroughly."―Richard K. Betts, Arnold A. Saltzman Professor of War and Peace Studies, Department of Political Science, Columbia University, and author of Enemies of Intelligence: Knowledge and Power in American National Security

"An indispensable guide to one of the most critical issues affecting intelligence and policy-making in the twenty-first century, successfully combining the lessons to be drawn from both first-hand experience and academic research."―Christopher Andrew, faculty of history, Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge, and author of Defend the Realm: The Authorized History of MI5

There's no room for arrogance when it comes to intelligence
By B. Wolinsky
I was watching a documentary on Israel’s famous Six Day War, and the big question is always how they came to be so well prepared. One of the pilots involved in the war said “above all, you have to have intelligence.” It might seem trivial compared to fighter aircraft and tanks, but for Israel, I bet 50% was intelligence. They knew the location of all the Egyptian airbases, when the planes would be on the ground, and where the defenses were. When it comes to intelligence, we can say “okay, we need to know where the enemy is and what kind of weapons they have.” But the question now is how you’re going to know. Are you watching them via satellite? Do you have a spy down there? Do you have a mole in their government? If so, how do you know you can trust them? This book covers all those things, especially with regard to the post-Cold War era.
Analyzing Intelligence devotes a chapter to the relationship between the intelligence gatherer and the analyst. It cites examples such as Pearl Harbor, The Yom Kippur War, and the Iranian Revolution, as examples of a weak relationship. In those three cases, there were few ears willing to listen to the information gathered on the respective countries. Israel’s spies, who’d spent years accumulating information on her neighbors, didn’t know that Egypt had surface-to-air missiles and wire-guided anti-tank Sagers from the USSR. In Iran, the US embassy didn’t have employees who spoke Farsi, and they knew nothing about the country. They didn’t know that the Shah was old, the army officers were incompetent, and the starving populace was angry. Ayatollah Khomeini, then living in Paris, was anything but quiet about his intentions. Somehow, nobody noticed.
It seems from this book that a problem with intelligence is the lack of cooperation between agencies. Pearl Harbor is used as an example of the US army and navy not sharing information, and others, like Iran in 1979, seem more an example of ignorance based on arrogance. Then there’s the failure to warn about India’s nuclear tests. But with Israel today, they seem to know everything everywhere. I suspect that when you have a tiny country, with a miniscule coastline and only one major airport, there’s less to be done. Keep in mind that today’s Arab leaders (like most third-world dictators) are rarely secretive, so it’s easy to listen in on their activities. But not so with North Korea. They’re super-secretive and impossible to penetrate. The people are all brainwashed. It remains to be seen what happens with them.

A Status Quo Book, Improved from 1st Edition, Still Pulls Punches
By Robert David STEELE Vivas
This is a very fine book, not least because of its inclusion of Jack Davis (search for as well as Carmen Medina (see them both at Phi Beta Iota the Public Intelligence Blog ), but it must still be categorized as a status quo book. Despite improvements from the 1st edition the authors still pull some punches -- I dare hope that by the 3rd edition -- and the book is certainly worthy of going forward -- they will get tougher, perhaps in a new final chapter -- Where Did We Go Wrong, Who Did We Ignore, How Do We Get It Right Now?

If you are an analyst or a trainer of analysts or a manager of analysts, this is essential reading, but it continues to validate my long-standing concerns about American intelligence:

1) Lack of a strategic analytic model (search for the term at Phi Beta Iota)

2) Lack of deep historical and multi-cultural appreciation including outreach to people that a) hate Americans and b) will never in a million years qualify for either citizenship or clearances

3) Lack of a deep understanding and necessary voice on the complete inadequacy of collection sources, the zero presence of processing and lack of desktop analytic tools, and the need for ABSOLUTE devotion to the truth, not--as is still the case, "within the reasonable bounds of dishonesty" aka "slam dunk"

4) Lack of integrity in the holistic analytic/true cost economics sense, not least of which is the analytic abject acceptance of the false premise that the best intelligence is top secret/sensitive compartmented information--see the free online articles "Intelligence for the President--AND Everyone Else" as well as "On Defense Intelligence -- Seven Strikes," both at CounterPunch.

Below are ten books I recommend (and where I have posted a summary review) as substantive complements to this book, which serves well as a core reading for both undergraduates and graduates as well as adult mid-career students:

935 Lies: The Future of Truth and the Decline of America's Moral Integrity
Vice: Dick Cheney and the Hijacking of the American Presidency
Intelligence and U.S. Foreign Policy: Iraq, 9/11, and Misguided Reform
Who the Hell Are We Fighting?: The Story of Sam Adams and the Vietnam Intelligence Wars
Analytic Professionalism and the Policymaking Process
Informing Statecraft
Lost Promise
The Landscape of History: How Historians Map the Past
Lost History: Contras, Cocaine, the Press & 'Project Truth'
Fog Facts: Searching for Truth in the Land of Spin

Beyond the above books, see my reviews of over 300 books on intelligence, all here at Amazon, as linked within the easily found Worth a Look: Book Reviews on Government Secret Intelligence.

Cute book and fairly easy to start felting...
By D. Gasson
I saw this book at Chronicle books and asked for it, and supplies, for my birthday in November. I've now done two of the characters (who became true characters as they are a bit lopsided/funky) and I'd say it is pretty easy to pick up. However, I am giving the book 4 stars because I would have liked to have a helpful section explaining more about using different sized needles, tips on what to do if certain things go awry, etc. While practice makes perfect and you learn along the way, would have appreciated a little guidance along the way.

Not in love with the steps given
By Angela M. Alexy
Well... I clearly am not a natural at this but after four tries, I can't seem to get anything to look even close. Not in love with the steps given, need something more for derps like me I guess.

As a true beginner felter, my 15 year old daughter made the wolf just like the picture
By J. Nelson
She loves this book and loves the characters. It could have a little more info on how to do some things, needles, etc. But it has gotten her into felting like you wouldn't believe.
