This Balinese design book; containing over 300 beautiful photos and extensive commentary will add a distinctive tropical flair to your interior decorating and architecture. The phenomenon loosely termed "Bali style" has been the subject matter for countless books on art; architecture; and interior design. In this book; author and architect Gianni Francione showcases the new generation of Bali-style homes; interiors; and artifacts that utilize what he terms a new internationalism. Even though the timeless; distinctive Balinese bale; open to a panorama of rice fields and the evening breeze; is still there; it may now be made in marble or stone. Similarly; present-day villas; resort bungalows; shops; restaurants; and other buildings are just as likely to use modernist techniques and materials as they are to utilize alang-alang and coconut wood. Bali Houses presents this new departure in architecture; interior design; glassware; table settings; textiles; furniture; and furnishings in many never-before-photographed locations. It is a fitting sequel to Bali Modern.

His piano books are written where an intermediate pianist can play them. Most of the songs are in easy keys. He does have quite a bit of syncopation. so I find that a little hard sometimes. I have some of his other piano books. for instance "Faith". I have found the CDs with his music are just like the piano book arrangements. It helps me to listen to the CD first and then attempt to learn the piano songs. Absolutely beautiful arrangements. Have used many of his songs for church offertories. and people love them. I give it a "Thumbs Up!"0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Amazing album. Its a great compilation inlcuding new songs ...By HyppolitoAmazing album.
