In the 1960s; Andy Warholrsquo;s paintings redefined modern art. His films provoked heated controversy; and his Factory was a hangout for the avant-garde. In the 1970s; after Valerie Solanasrsquo;s attempt on his life; Warhol become more entrepreneurial; aligning himself with the rich and famous. Bob Colacello; the editor of Warholrsquo;s Interview magazine; spent that decade by Andyrsquo;s side as employee; collaborator; wingman; and confidante. In these pages; Colacello takes us there with Andy: into the Factory office; into Studio 54; into wild celebrity-studded parties; and into the early-morning phone calls where the mysterious artist was at his most honest and vulnerable. Colacello gives us; as no one else can; a riveting portrait of this extraordinary man: brilliant; controlling; shy; insecure; and immeasurably influential. When Holy Terror was first published in 1990; it was hailed as the best of the Warhol accounts. Now; some two decades later; this portrayal retains its hold on readersmdash;as does Andyrsquo;s timeless power to fascinate; galvanize; and move us.

Back in my film days; I had a Nikon N90...I was ready to take the plung to digital after more than disappointing results with my photos from the World Equestrian Games the fall of 2010. A kind soul at one of the shows let me play with her Nikon D300s...it was that point I knew I was ready for a DSLR. After a month of research; I was convinced I needed the D7000 that was set to release in November 2010...after more research (and reading lots of reviews) I made the purchase of my D7000 in August of 2011 (along with a large wish list that had grown over the months leading up to the DSLR purchase!)...Mastering the D7000 is my third book purchase on the Nikon D7000. I also have the two books by David Busch (the field guide and the main book Nikon D7000 Guide to Digital SLR Photography). While these books are nice; and explain the users manual well; they only scratch the surface. Oh; I do not even know where to start on the awesomeness of Darrell Youngs Mastering the Nikon D7000.This book is hands down; the best of the best. Each section references the page(es) in the users manual which I really like. The book also sports a nice index and table of contents. Each section has a thumb-tab (black edge and chapter number) so you can easily flip through the section. Almost every chapter has a full blank page for notes at the end of the chapter.Darrell gives excellent in-depth explainations of EVERYTHING you could possibly want to know...digging into areas where the David Busch books skimmed over (the David Busch books briefly explained some of the advanced areas; but didnt give any in-depth explaination ---much less an example!). This book gives personal examples throughout the book and suggestions; even offering his setting for this item (and why he has it set this way).The books has EXCELLENT photos of the menu paths. Other books have one big picture of the top level menu. This book has at least two and up to six (!); screenshots of the menu path on how to get to the setting and set it! Where there are multiple screenshots; they are placed horizonally across the screen and numbered to outline the flow (left to right as you would expect). I love this!!The book is super nice...nice paper; nice color pictures and lots and lots of nice color screenshots of menus! Nice sized book - 479 pages and small enough to fit in your bag (although the page count does tend to make it a little heavy)The book also uses color coding; numbering and italics/bold....Blue to refer to camera settings; green for functions and settings displayed on the cameras LCD screen; and italics for textual prompts seen on the cameras LCD screen. I LOVE this feature...it really helps the text pop making the text an easy read. Darrell also uses outline features: numbering 1;2;3...bullets and alpha a;b;c....this also helps break up the text and makes the text easy to read.I cannot express enough how much I love this book. I am a hardcore book person; and am VERY judgemental when it comes to books and what I like. When I purchase a book; binding; paper and format are important to me if I am going to read and reread the book...I dont want it to fall apart after light use.Also; I signed up for Nikonian.org; I stumbled upon this site before this book came and was surprised to see forum posts answered by Darrell! This site is the office e-mag site for Nikon photographers....great site; sign up if you arent already a memeber! This book also has a 50% off coupon for the Gold membership (I actually opted for the cheapy $25 option...you get it free for 30days when you sign up).Buy this book! If you own/plan on owning a D7000; you NEED this book; or else you are going to be missing features the camera has; that other books neglect mentioning...or explaining how to set up and use! A 10-star book! The authors enthusiasm for the Nikon D7000 is clearly shown throughout the book :)Thanks!Anke2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very good and detailed book for the camera specified. Would recommend for any camera owner.By TheWaldoAfter ten years of shooting photos with my previous camera I finally decided to upgrade to something more modern. In my browsing this was recommended as a companion product. After previewing the sample pages I decided it would be worthwhile................And indeed it is......I have already learned so much from this book and I also joined the user group moderated by the author of this book. It is detailed and gives extensive photos to back up the print.I would highly recommend this author to anyone with a Nikon camera.........there are numerous issues out...........so there is probably one keyed to your specific camera.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. and thought I was pretty clever about what it could doBy T W.I knew I had a powerful camera in the D7000; and thought I was pretty clever about what it could do. Ha! I had no clue. This is THE BIBLE on the D7000. Every single switch; button; knob and lever is fully explained and examined in excruciating detail. I didnt know the half of what this camera was capable of until I read Darrells book. Plus; he goes beyond -push this button and it will do that - he explains that by pushing this button it also effects x other settings. This is a bloody complicated camera with literally hundreds of user settings that interact with each other in sometimes curious ways.This book now lives in the camera bag; I wont go on a shoot without it.
