5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent text and detailed descriptions for each image
Hartt is an interesting writer and points out details that other writers don't.The quality of the color printing and of the paper itself is high.Since I bought this at Amazon marketplace, I consider it a great value.
4-0 out of 5 stars Nice book, colors could be a tad brighter
I purchased this book recently after having come back from Italy and having seen some of these works of art in person. The books is very nicely put together, a great coffee table piece. The large, thick pages really make the book feel sturdy. The only thing that I found a minor issue with is that the color plates of the paintings should be brighter. An example, the painting of the Doni Madonna was much more bright and colorful than is depicted in the book. In real life even the old paintings in the Sistine Chapel pop out at you (see the Delphic Sybil for another example).

5-0 out of 5 stars The hidden genocide
This book is about a secret episode of the 20th century history. 5-0 out of 5 stars Never to be forgotten
I never wrote an review before but i couldnt stop myself now.After reading some of the 1 star reviews i was bursting with anger! It certanly seems that Croatians (only they could rate this brilliant work with 1 star) are trying to discredit this book and reduce its star rating, thinking that in that way somehow they would be able to hide their dark and evil past from a public spotlight. It is so clear and obvious that most of them have never even read this book, they have nothing to say about substance, but they are rather inventing fairytales about author, reducing numbers of victims by quoting only "Croatian sources" or blaming "everything on Serbian propaganda". So, as a Spanish Catholic, who has served 3 years in UN peacekeeping force in Balkans i will tell you that this book is extraordinary! Author is not a "Serb communist" but rather a Yugoslav Jew, greatly respected all over the world.He was a visiting professor of history at Cornell, Brandeis, Harvard, and the University of Michigan. He was also a member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and president of the Bertrand Russell Tribunal of Human Rights in the Federal German Republic.
1-0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time with it:
Written by a Serbian with strong links to Communism.

5-0 out of 5 stars Rome and Africa
For those of us who read Augustine mainly for his philosophical and theological thought, it is easy to forget that he was a busy bishop and that as bishop he was involved as judge in many--and in some instances messy--cases of canon law as it was emerging in the African church in the late fourth and fifth centuries. For those of us who were coerced into some formal study of canon law, it is easy to forget that the various canons were often developed as the result of quite interesting concrete cases. Jane Merdinger focuses upon several examples of cases before ecclesiastical courts in Augustine's Africa as a means of illustrating the evolving relationship of the African church and the Apostolic See, not in doctrinal matters on which they generally agreed, but in practical matters of law on which there was often enough conflict.

5-0 out of 5 stars THIS IS A VERY INTRESTING BOOK-I LIKED IT
THIS IS A BOOK THAT WILL DEFINETLYTEACH YOU ALOT ABOUT ART.BUTI REALLY DON'T THINK THAT THE AUTHOR REALLY KNEW WHAT HE WAS SAYING. THE BOOK DIDN'T HAVE A REAL POINT

2-0 out of 5 stars Good Riddance, Waldemar Januszczak
I picked up this book at the library while searching for information on the restoration of the Sistine Chapel. Despite the claims of the beautifully designed jacket, this book has nothing to do with anything but Janusczcak's love affair with his own writing. The information relevant to Michelangelo, the Sistine Chapel, Nippon Television, or the restoration process could have been condensed into less than thirty pages. To be fair, I slogged through the entire book, and now I'll never get those minutes of my life back.SAYONARA MICHELANGELO is a celebration of onanistic writing. Facts seem to be nothing more than ornamentation for Januszczak's (deep) purple flights of fancy. This is not a resource for anything but Waldemar's little fantasies, and as a novel, the plot's kinda thin.Save your shekels for one of Amazon's many other fine offerings. ... Read more
