Ships in November 2011. Watch the DIY series Million Dollar
Contractor with Stephen Fanuka. In What's a Homeowner to Do?,
Stephen Fanuka and Edward Lewine explain the basics of home repair
and maintenance. From assembling a tool kit to understanding the
pros and cons of casement and double-hung windows, from the ins and
outs of moldings, faucets, and electrical outlets to the best way
to maintain appliances and driveways, you'll find out everything
you'll need to know to keep your home in fine working order. With
hundreds of clear, helpful illustrations, this essential reference
covers such topics as how to install a ceiling fan; determining the
right amount of paint to buy; how to repair a loose stair tread;
choosing the proper child safety gate; and many more. Most
important, you'll get expert advice on when a repair is something
you can do yourself and when it's best executed by a professional.
In the process, you'll learn more than enough to speak
knowledgeably about any problem with a hardware store clerk, a
repairman, or a contractor. What's a Homeowner to Do? is the best
home improvement guide ever!
In the tradition of Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon, Edward
Lewine presents an inspired account of bullfighting culture in
modern-day Spain. Lewine brilliantly captures the romance and
machismo associated with the art of bullfighting, as well as the
addictive adrenaline rush that persistently beckons spectators and
matadors to the bullring. He spends a season traveling with the
celebrated matador Francesco Rivera Ordonez -- the great-grandson
of the bullfighter who was the inspiration for Hemingway's Pedro
Romero in The Sun Also Rises -- and reveals a Spain few outsiders
have seen. Death and the Sun is an illuminating portrayal of a
country, its people, and their passion for this beautiful yet
deadly spectacle.
