Nineteen Minutes

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Picoult, Jodi, PUBLISHER: Washington Square Press, Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of "My Sister's Keeper" and "The Tenth Circle," pens her most riveting book yet, with a startling and poignant story about the devastating aftermath of a small-town tragedy. Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens--until the day its complacency is shattered by an act of violence. Josie Cormier, the daughter of the judge sitting on the case, should be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened before her very own eyes--or can she? As the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show--destroying the closest of friendships and families. "Nineteen Minutes" asks what it means to be different in our society, who has the right to judge someone else, and whether anyone is ever really who they seem to be.

This uniquely designed double foldout book features over 50 color plates of Paiement's fascinating work along with an interview by Laguna Art Museum's Chief Curator Tyler Stallings and essays by renowned art writers Christopher Miles and Rebecca Neiderlander. Paiement's luminous paintings, of bugs and ordinary consumer products, combine the worlds of art, commodification, science fiction, and entomology with humor and wry social commentary. Utilizing traditional egg tempera and watercolor, Paiement delicately creates day-glo fantasy specimens isolated on pristine white backgrounds. According to Christopher Miles, "Color becomes key as Paiement desaturates the images and overlays them with even layers of transparent color, as if we see black-and-white images through tinted glass that neutralizes difference." Paiement has been exhibited extensively with his work continually garnering broader att

Gideon Lincecum, : A Biography

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burkhalter, Lois Wood, PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, In Gideon Lincecum's lifetime the United States expanded from fifteen to thirty-eight states--and Lincecum moved always with or ahead of that expansion. Possessed of a driving intellectual curiosity undeterred by lack of formal education, Lincecum examined all he confronted. He learned from Indians, he read widely, and he corresponded with the great minds of his day. In the process he became many things: physician, musician, botanist, entomologist, ornithologist, and translator of Indian dialects. His collection of information and specimens in the field of natural science was used by leading authorities. From his voluminous letters, Mrs. Burkhalter has constructed a picture of a "remarkable and delightful American who deserves a place in the history of this country."
