Wonder Show
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Barnaby, Hannah, PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, friends and neighbors, allow me to change your lives Step inside Mosco's Traveling Wonder Show You've read about them in magazines, these so-called human curiosities, this tribe of misfits--now come and seefor yourselves. We've got a gent as tall as a tree, a lady with a beard, and don't miss your chance to see the Wild Albinos of Bora Bora Ask Madame Doula to peer into your future (only two dollars more if you want to know how you're going to die).γ And between these covers behold the greatest act of our display--Portia Remini, the strangest of the menagerie because she's a 'normal' among the freaks, searching for a new beginning on the bally, far away from McGreavey's Home for Wayward Girls, where Mister watches and waits. He said he would always find Portia, said she could never leave... Oh, it's not for the faint of heart folks. If you're prone to nightmares or you've got a weak ticker, you'd best move on. Within these pages lies a tale of abandonment, loss, misfortune for the rich and glory for the poor (and a little murder doesn't hurt). It's a story for the ages, but be warned: once you enter the Wonder Show you will never be the same.
The Correspondence of Walter Benjamin,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Benjamin, Walter / Adorno, Theodor Wiesengrund / Scholem, Gershom Gerhard, PUBLISHER: University of Chicago Press, Called "the most important critic of his time" by Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin has emerged as one of the most compelling thinkers of our time as well, his work assuming a crucial place in current debates over the interactions of art, culture, and meaning. A "natural and extraordinary talent for letter writing was one of the most captivating facets of his nature," writes Gershom Scholem in his Foreword; and indeed, Benjamin's correspondence reveals the evolution of some of his most powerful ideas. Published here in English for the first time, these letters offer an intimate picture of Benjamin himself and the times in which he lived. Written in a day when letters were an important vehicle for the presentation and development of intellectual matters, Benjamin's correspondence is rich in insight into the circumstances behind his often difficult work. Writing at length to Scholem and Theodor Adorno, and exchanging letters with Rainer Maria Rilke, Hannah Arendt, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Max Horkheimer, Max Brod, Bertolt Brecht, and Kafka's friend Felix Weltsch, Benjamin elaborates his ideas about metaphor and language. He reflects on literary figures from Kafka to Karl Kraus, the "Jewish Question" and anti-Semitism, Marxism and Zionism. And he expounds his personal attitudes toward such subjects as the role of quotations in criticism, history, and tradition; the meaning of being a "collector"; and French culture and the national character.

Your Presence Is Requested at Suvanto
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chapman, Maile, PUBLISHER: Graywolf Press, A brilliant and unnerving debut novel about the mysteriously ill patients at a remote hospital in Finland In a remote, piney wood in Finland stands a convalescent hospital called Suvanto, a curving concrete example of austere Scandinavian design. It is the s, and the patients, all women, seek relief from ailments real and imagined. On the lower floors are the stoic Finnish women; on the upper floors are foreign women of privilege--the "up-patients." They are tended to by head nurse Sunny Taylor, an American who has fled an ill-starred life only to retreat behind a mask of crisp professionalism. On a late-summer day a new patient arrives on Sunny's ward-- a faded, irascible former ballroom-dance instructor named Julia Dey. Sunny takes it upon herself to pierce the mystery of Julia's reserve. Soon, Julia's difficulty, her tightly coiled anger, places her at the center of the ward's tangled emotional life. This fraught dynamic animates Maile Chapman's ambitious first novel. As summer turns to fall, and fall to a long, dark winter, the patients hear rumors about changes being implemented at Suvanto by an American obstetrician, Dr. Peter Weber, who is experimenting with a new surgical stitch. Their familiar routine threatened, the women are not happy (they were not happy before), and the story's escalating menace builds to a terrifying conclusion.
Into a Paris Quartier: Reine Margot's Chapel and Other
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Johnson, Diane, PUBLISHER: National Geographic Society, As a child, Diane Johnson was entranced by "The Three Musketeers, " dashing 17th-century residents of the famous romantic quartier called St.-Germain-des-Pres. Now, the paperback edition of her delightful book will take even more Americans to the richly historic part of the city that has always attracted us, from Ben Franklin in the 18th-century to raffish novelist Henry Miller in the 20th. Modern St.-Germain is lively and prosperous, and fifty years ago its heady mix of jazz and existentialism defined urbane cool, but Johnson takes a longer view. "Beside the shades of Jean-Paul Sartre and Edith Piaf," she writes, "there is another crowd of resident ghosts... misty figures in plumed hats whose fortunes and passions were enacted among these beautiful, imposing buildings." From her kitchen window, she looks out on a chapel begun by Reine Margot, wife of Henri IV; nearby streets are haunted by the shades of two sinister cardinals, Mazarin and Richelieu, as well as four famed queens and at least five kings. Delacroix, Corot, Ingres, David, and Manet all lived in St.-Germain; Oscar Wilde died there; and everybody who was anybody visited sooner or later. With her delicious imagination and wry, opinionated voice, Diane Johnson makes a companionable and fascinating guide to a classic neighborhood as cosmopolitan as it is quintessentially French.
Unholy Night
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grahame-Smith, Seth, PUBLISHER: Grand Central Publishing, From the author of the New York Times bestselling Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, comes UNHOLY NIGHT, the next evolution in dark historical revisionism. They're an iconic part of history's most celebrated birth. But what do we really know about the Three Kings of the Nativity, besides the fact that they followed a star to Bethlehem bearing strange gifts? The Bible has little to say about this enigmatic trio. But leave it to Seth Grahame-Smith, the brilliant and twisted mind behind "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" to take a little mystery, bend a little history, and weave an epic tale. In Grahame-Smith's telling, the so-called "Three Wise Men" are infamous thieves, led by the dark, murderous Balthazar. After a daring escape from Herod's prison, they stumble upon the famous manger and its newborn king. The last thing Balthazar needs is to be slowed down by young Joseph, Mary and their infant. But when Herod's men begin to slaughter the first born in Judea, he has no choice but to help them escape to Egypt. It's the beginning of an adventure that will see them fight the last magical creatures of the Old Testament; cross paths with biblical figures like Pontius Pilate and John the Baptist; and finally deliver them to Egypt. It may just be the greatest story never told.
The Oslo Idea: The Euphoria of Failure
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Israeli, Raphael, PUBLISHER: Transaction Publishers, The idea of peace is always enchanting, for it encompasses the tranquility and serenity for which every human yearns. The nation of Israel has never known peace, but it dreams of peace. In practice Israel navigates between the poles of war and peace, with endless middle-of the-road situations like cease-fire, truce, armistice, and other temporary cessations of hostilities. The Oslo Idea traces the roots of the current campaign to delegitimize Israel. The campaign is not linked to Israeli resistance, to the absence of an acceptable settlement between Israel and the Palestinians, or to Israel's reluctance to abandon territory. It results from a change of tactics by the Palestinian leadership. Israeli argues that these tactics have been used to exhaust, reduce, and replace Israel rather than produce a compromise. Half the Palestinian people and other uncompromising Arabs and Muslims havestated that goal openly and act to achieve it. Raphael Israeli deconstructs the immense illusion of the Oslo peace accords, which initiated the so-called "peace process." He shows how Oslo lured a naive Israeli leadership into a trap. He shows how outside factors, bent on finding and supporting an evasive peace, have helped perpetuate the fiasco Oslo represents. He shows how Oslo's supporters have advanced the "peace process" by coaxing and threatening Israel behind the scenes, and binding Israel alone with the Oslo commitments and their derivatives. More importantly, the author outlines and analyzes the basic and seemingly unbridgeable points of contention that remain: security, refugees, settlements, water, borders, and the status of Jerusalem itself.
The Image of the Black in Western Art, Volume II: From the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bindman, David / Gates, Henry Louis, JR. / Dalton, Karen C. C., PUBLISHER: Belknap Press, In the s, as a response to segregation in the United States, the influential art patron Dominique de Menil began a research project and photo archive called "The Image of the Black in Western Art." Now, fifty years later, as the first American president of African American descent occupies his historic term in office, her mission has been re-invigorated through the collaboration of Harvard University Press and the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute to present new editions of the coveted five original books and the anticipated first part of a new volume. The completed set will include ten sumptuous books in five volumes with up-to-date introductions and more full-color illustrations, printed on high-quality art stock for books that will last a lifetime. This monumental publication offers expert commentary and a lavishly illustrated history of the representations of people of African descent ranging from the ancient images of Pharaohs created by unknown hands to the works of the great European masters such as Bosch, Rembrandt, Rubens, and Hogarth to stunning new creations by contemporary black artists. Including thousands of beautiful, moving, and often little-known images of black people, including queens and slaves, saints and soldiers, children and gods, "The Image of the Black in Western Art" provides a treasury of masterpieces from four millennia--a testament to the black experience in the West and a tribute to art's enduring power to shape our common humanity.

Room for Manoeuvre: The Role of Intertext in Elfriede
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Symons, Morwenna, PUBLISHER: Modern Humanities Research Association, In the structuring of literary texts that refer extensively to previous texts, one issue is paramount: the space accorded to the reader. In entering into the intertextual debate, the reader is called upon both to corroborate the authority of the text and the power of literary continuity that the intertext embodies, and to assert his or her independence from this same authority in the very act of responding individually to its multiple significations. This study of four literary texts, all very distinct in form and method, analyses the dynamic relationship between reader, text and intertext and suggests that it is in the effectiveness of this manoeuvring, by and of the reader, that the intertextual narrative can be shown to find its force. In Jelineks Die Klavierspielerin the pornographic, psychoanalytic and musical intertexts form a discursive nexus of effects, central to the construction of a highly ironic narrative voice that unsettles and energizes the reader into critical response. The intertextual game of Ein weites Feld creates a text that is structurally and thematically out of control: by this means Grass brings the reader into confrontation with the celebratory discourses of German reunification. Herta Mullers depiction of the village idyll in Niederungen embraces and disrupts the Heimat genre. The quotational mode, and our discomfort in responding to it, allows for the critical articulation of questions of authority and control with which the stories are concerned, while Mullers use of a Calvino intertext in Reisende auf einem Bein is fundamental in the development of a central character whose elusive quality reflects (on) thematic issues addressed by the text.

Con Thien: The Hill of Angels
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Coan, James P., PUBLISHER: University of Alabama Press, A memoir/history of a much-beleaguered Marine outpost of the DMZ. Throughout much of , a remote United States Marine firebase only two miles from the demilitarized zone (DMZ) captured the attention of the world's media. That artillery-scarred outpost was the linchpin of the so-called McNamara Line intended to deter incursions into South Vietnam by the North Vietnamese Army. As such, the fighting along this territory was particularly intense and bloody, and the body count rose daily. "Con Thien" combines James P. Coan's personal experiences with information taken from archives, interviews with battle participants, and official documents to construct a powerful story of the daily life and combat on the red clay bulls-eye known as "The Hill of Angels." As a tank platoon leader in Alpha Company, 3d Tank Battalion, 3d Marine Division, Coan was stationed at Con Thien for eight months during his service in Vietnam and witnessed much of the carnage. Con Thien was heavily bombarded by enemy artillery with impunity because it was located in politically sensitive territory and the U.S. government would not permit direct armed response from Marine tanks. Coan, like many other soldiers, began to feel as though the government was as much the enemy as the NVA, yet he continued to fight for his country with all that he had. In his riveting memoir, Coan depicts the hardships of life in the DMZ and the ineffectiveness of much of the U.S. military effort in Vietnam.

The Bishop's Palace: Architecture and Authority in Medieval
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miller, Maureen, PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, This lavishly illustrated book looks at the art and architecture of episcopal palaces as expressions of power and ideology. Tracing the history of the bishop's residence in the urban centers of northern Italy over the Middle Ages, Maureen C. Miller asks why this once rudimentary and highly fortified structure called a domus became a complex and elegant "palace" (palatium) by the late twelfth century. Miller argues that the change reflects both the emergence of a distinct clerical culture and the attempts of bishops to maintain authority in public life. She relates both to the Gregorian reform movement, which set new standards for clerical deportment and at the same time undercut episcopal claims to secular power. As bishops lost temporal authority in their cities to emerging communal governments, they compensated architecturally and competed with the communes for visual and spatial dominance in the urban center. This rivalry left indelible marks on the layout and character of Italian cities.Moreover, Miller contends, this struggle for power had highly significant, but mixed, results for western Christianity. On the one hand, as bishops lost direct governing authority in their cities, they devised ways to retain status, influence, and power through cultural practices. This response to loss was highly creative. On the other hand, their loss of secular control led bishops to emphasize their spiritual powers and to use them to obtain temporal ends. The coercive use of spiritual authority contributed to the emergence of a "persecuting society" in the central Middle Ages.

Parables for Plain People
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Worrill, Jack, PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, Jack Worrill is a native of Atlanta, Georgia, and a graduate of Georgia Tech. He spent thirty five years as an advertising account executive and copy writer, the last portion of that time in his own one man agency. Over a forty year period he taught Bible to Sunday School classes ranging in age from three years old to what he calls "65 to Glory." He began singing in his church choir as a freshman in college and considered studying for the music ministry. However, the Lord had other plans, and it was only after forty-eight years-many of which were passed as lay song leader, occasional supply as choir leader and in serving several churches as interim music minister-that Jack was called as Minister of Music to a small church in Metropolitan Atlanta. He currently earns his livelihood repairing, restoring and re-caning chairs, rockers and wicker furniture. He demonstrates the art of chair caning at craft shows and state fairs, and teaches chair caning classes several times each year. He and his wife Lyn live in Marietta, Georgia, near their three married daughters, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. It is from this varied life experience that Jack's Parables for Plain People are drawn. They are all based upon his keen awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit, purposefully working out His Will, in even the most ordinary daily events, for those who put their faith and trust in Him.
Modern Investment Management and the Prudent Man Rule
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Longstreth, Bevis / Harding, John Mason / Steiner, Daniel, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, In recent years the field of finance has exploded with innovation. New products, services and techniques abound. The risks of inflation, the volatility of interest rates, the deregulation of financial intermediaries and the unbundling of financial services have combined to present investment managers with challenges and opportunities far greater than in the past. For trustees and managers of pension, trust, endowment, and similar funds, the task of meeting the challenges and exploiting the opportunities is much more difficult. These fiduciaries must measure their investment decisions against constrained interpretations of a legal standard--the prudent man rule--that have caused it to lag far behind changes in investment theory and the marketplace. Drawing on financial history, a major opinion survey of institutional investors, and comprehensive reviews of the law and of the lessons of modern portfolio theory for prudence, this book presents a powerful case that the prudent man rule as elaborated in legal treatises and much of the case law would virtually compel a fiduciary to act imprudently in terms of financial theory and marketplace reality. In proposing a modern paradigm of investment prudence, the book uses illustrations drawn from such traditionally suspect categories of investment fiduciaries as securities lending, real estate, venture capital, options and futures and repurchaser agreements. An unusual examination of the interaction of the worlds of law and finance, this work will be of interest to fiduciaries who are subject to some from of prudent man rule and all others, including judges, lawyers and investment managers, who are called upon to interpret and apply that legalstandard.

Cod. 606 T ANTICO ROTOLO KANO TANYU Periodo Tokugawa - Edo Pittore: Kano Tan'yu () GIAPPONE OKano Tan'yu () Japanese watercolor scroll painting Kano TanΓ’β¬(TM)yu, original name Kano Morinobu (born March , KyotoΓ’β¬"died November , Edo[Tokyo]), the most-influential Kano painter of the Tokugawa period in Japan Kano TanΓ’β¬(TM)yuΓ’β¬(TM)s conservative choice of subject matter (e.g., historical figures embodying Confucian ethicalprecepts) and his return to the subdued tones and designs of the early Kano painters set the standards for later Kano artists. His studied brushwork and dignified portrayal of figures appear in Confucius and Two Disciples, a screen painting now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The extent to which his artreflected the taste of the military rulers of his day may be deduced from the honours bestowed upon him. At age 17 he was appointed painter to the shogun and given an estate in the district of Edo (now Tokyo) called Kajibashi, which became the name associated with his branch of the Kano school. He decorated the walls of various palaces and castles, including Nijo Castle in Kyoto, the shogunΓ’β¬(TM)s castle at Nagoya, and the Kyoto Imperial Palace. He painted the scrolls illustrating events in the life of the first Tokugawa shogun, Ieyasu, and decorated the porticoes of IeyasuΓ’β¬(TM)s mausoleum at the Tosho Shrine in Nikko. At age 34 Kano assumed the temple name TanΓ’β¬(TM)yu. Two years later he was raised to an exalted position in the Buddhist clergy. Together with his grandfather Eitoku and his great-great-grandfather Motonobu, he is celebrated as one of the Γ’β¬Εthree famous brushesΓ’β¬Β of the Kano family.
