Aubrey Beardsley, Imp of the Perverse
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Weintraub, Stanley, PUBLISHER: Pennsylvania State University Press, At twenty, "the Fra Angelico of Satanism," as Roger Fry was to call Aubrey Beardsley, was working as an obscure clerk in a London life insurance company. Three years later he was the most notorious--and perhaps the most influential--artist in England. His controversial drawings for Oscar Wilde's Salome were so daring and different that someone quipped that Wilde's play illustrated Beardsley's art. His work as art editor of the two most famous magazines of the 's, The Yellow Book and The Savoy, consolidated his fame although he was unreasonably dragged into the Wilde scandal and nearly destroyed by it. By the time he produced his strikingly scabrous drawings for a pornographer publisher's Lysistrata he was dying, yet still incredibly productive. But he had already indelibly stamped the age with his name. In a front-page review in the New York Times Book Review in , art critic John Russell wrote of Beardsley that "as a biography--a life's story" the book "needs no successsor." Aubrey Beardsley: Imp of the Perverse began as an updating of the original biography but new material at hand and the need to reinterpret Beardsley from the perspective of augmented life-records made a mere updating impractical, especially since the climate for publishing has become far more receptive to truth in biography, however explicit.
Seascape Gardening: From New England to the Carolinas
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Halpin, Anne / Foley, Roger, PUBLISHER: Storey Publishing, Gardening by the sea is unlike any other gardening experience in the world. The gentle, misty light, moderate climate, and natural beauty of the coast only make seaside gardens more beautiful. Add to that the pleasant memories of summers spent by the sea as a child, and the allure is irresistible for most any gardener or ocean-lover. But aside from the scenic landscape and romantic setting are serious challenges to be overcome. The East Coast is known for its extreme weather--storms blow in during the winter with gale-force winds, spraying sand and salt on every plant in their path. Even during the summer, high winds, fierce sun, and periods of drought challenge the toughest plants. Seaside gardens must be able to tolerate the elements and still look good. Author Anne Halpin is a renowned garden designer and writer who lives on Long Island Sound. She navigates the rocky shores and sandy dunes of the East Coast from New England to South Carolina, showing readers how to plant and care for seaside gardens that work with the elements, not against them. Keeping in mind those who only dream of living by the sea, Halpin also offers portraits of successful seaside gardens up and down the coast, with stunning images from award-winning photographer Roger Foley.
Xicotencatl: An Anonymous Historical Novel about the Events
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Varela, Felix / Castillo-Feliu, Guillermo, PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, "This translation of Xicotencatl makes available to English-speaking readers a key text in the nineteenth-century history of Spanish American literature.... I am delighted that someone has seen fit to rescue this marvelous story of good and evil, with its still] pertinent discussion of political and personal morality." --Nancy Vogeley, Professor of Spanish, University of San Francisco As Spain's New World colonies fought for their independence in the early nineteenth century, an anonymous author looked back on the earlier struggle of native Americans against the Spanish conquistadores and penned this novel, Xicotencatl. Writing from a decidedly anti-Spanish perspective, the author describes the historical events that led to the march on Tenochtitlan and eventual conquest of the Aztec empire in by Hernan Cortes and his Indian allies, the Tlaxcalans. Xicotencatl stands out as a beautiful exposition of an idealized New World about to undergo the tremendous changes wrought by the Spanish Conquest. It was published in Philadelphia in . In his introduction to this first English translation, Guillermo I. Castillo-Feliu discusses why the novel was published outside Latin America, its probable author, and his attitudes toward his Spanish and Indian characters, his debt to Spanish literature and culture, and the parallels that he draws between past and present struggles against Spanish domination in the Americas.
The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party: The New No. 1 Ladies'
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McCall Smith, Alexander, PUBLISHER: Knopf Canada, The twelfth installment in the beloved, bestselling series is once again a beautiful blend of wit and wisdom, and a profoundly touching tale of the human heart. Precious Ramotswe is haunted by a dream in which she is driving her dear old white van. Grace Makutsi dreams that her 97 percent on the Botswana Secretarial College exam was a mistake. When Mma Ramotswe discovers that her van is actually still in use (and, of course, sets out to retrieve it), Mma Makutsi wonders whether her dream will turn out to be prophetic as well. They can only wait and see, but, in the meantime, one of Phuti Radiphuti's apprentices has gotten a girl pregnant and, under pressure to marry her, has run away. Naturally, it is up to Precious and Grace to help the couple work things out. In other developments, Mma Ramotswe investigates a case of rural jealousy in which cattle are being poisoned. Add to the mix Violet Sephotho's newly begun, already unstoppable run for the Botswana Parliament and the possibility that wedding bells may finally ring for Phuti Radiphuti and Grace Makutsi -- whose love for each other is as great as their love for Botswana -- and we have a charming and delightful tale from the inimitable Alexander McCall Smith.

Mods, Minis, and Madmen: A True Tale of Swinging London
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Truman, D. Richard, PUBLISHER: iUniverse.com, A nostalgic romp through the sixties that changed everyone's lives forever, "Mods, Minis, and Madmen"(c) presents a story of remarkable achievement during the twentieth century's most significant cultural reboot. It celebrates a wondrous age drugged by the can-do attitude of youth. Revolutionary London was the birthplace of the boutique, and Mary Quant introduced the mini-skirt-named after a car. John Stephen introduced heart-racing male boutiques on Kings Road that soon carved out a global niche. Lesley Hornby- also known as Twiggy, the Cockney dolly bird-strutted her popsicle legs while touting mini-fashions. East Londoner Vidal Sassoon gave new life to tousled hair with a look that is still with us today. And of course, British sounds, led by the Beatles, hammered the charts in every country able to tune in. The lyrics spoke to us and seemed to sympathize with our turmoil, revealing an honest understanding of life as it would be, up to the age of sixty-four. It was a booster shot that pumped up everyone living in the sixties, and their tales would be told decades later. "Mods, Minis, and Madmen"(c) is the tale of a writer and his disciples from the New World arriving in the old, just as the explosion was about to take place.
Catolicos: Resistance and Affirmation in Chicano Catholic
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Garcia, Mario T., PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, Chicano Catholicism--both as a popular religion and a foundation for community organizing--has, over the past century, inspired Chicano resistance to external forces of oppression and discrimination including from other non-Mexican Catholics and even the institutionalized church. Chicano Catholics have also used their faith to assert their particular identity and establish a kind of cultural citizenship.Based exclusively on original research and sources, Mario T. Garcia here offers the first major historical study to explore the various dimensions of the role of Catholicism in Chicano history in the twentieth century. This is also one of the first significant studies in the still limited field of Chicano religious history.Topics range from how early Chicano Catholic intellectuals and civil rights leaders were influenced by Catholic Social Doctrine, to the role that popular religion has played in the lives of ordinary men and women in both rural and urban areas. Garcia also examines faith-based Chicano community movements like Catolicos Por La Raza in the s and the Sanctuary movement in Los Angeles in the s.While Latino/a history and culture has been, for the most part, inextricably linked with the tenets and practices of Catholicism, there has been very little written, until recently, about Chicano Catholic history. Garcia helps to fill that void and explore the impact--both positive and negative--that the Catholic experience has had on the Chicano community.

Raised in Captivity: Why Does America Fail It's Children?
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hodgson, Lucia, PUBLISHER: Graywolf Press, In Raised in Captivity: Why Does America Fail Its Children, cultural critic Lucia Hodgson examines the contradictory and even harmful responses Americans give when faced with the issues that most dramatically affect children's lives. Hodgson illustrates her points with references to several cases that became media hotbeds: the Baby Jessica case, the Menendez brothers, Susan Smith's murder of her children, Polly Klaas's kidnapping and murder. Hodgson's approach, however, is to strip away the hype surrounding these cases to reveal American's self-deception about children's realities, and to show that the more we focus on individual cases of deviation, the more we overlook the systemic causes of the problem. Hodgson's examination of the media coverage and the public response to these high-profile cases illuminates some of her most critical questions. Why is it that in the United States adult privilege consistently takes precedent over the best interests of children? Why hasn't the contemporary combination of adult concern for children and knowledge about their issues resulted in policies that better serve children's needs? What are American adults trying to avoid when they insist, despite evidence to the contrary, that American children are well provided for? This provocative, seminal book will have a profound effect on the still-developing arena of children's issues and should be read by every American adult.
Hockey's Golden Era: Stars of the Original Six
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leonetti, Mike / Barkley, Harold / Selke, Frank Jr., PUBLISHER: Firefly Books, This book celebrates two vivid examples of excellence: one athletic, the other photographic. With the demise of the Brooklyn Americans in , the National Hockey League was reduced to franchises in Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, New York and Toronto. These teams became known collectively as "The Original Six," a name that evokes the era before major-league hockey was diluted by expansion. The NHL retained this structure until , when it expanded to 12 teams. This era has come to be known as "Hockey's Golden Era." These years saw some of the greatest players of the game in their prime: Gordie Howe, Maurice Richard, Terry Sawchuk, Bobby Hull, Andy Bathgate, Bobby Orr, Tim Horton, Frank Mahovlich, Jacques Plante and Jean Beliveau. The competition was fierce, the hockey unparalleled in skill, passion and aggressiveness, and the loyalties forged between players, teams and fans were intense. It was a time before modern-day stardom had injected a business-first mentality into the world of professional sport. Playing for the love of the game still existed as the prime motivation in hockey. Filled with 150 splendid photos by Harold Barkley (the first to use electronic flash in hockey photography), this book contains profiles of 74 great players, action photos, and statistics on players and teams. It is a treat for any fan.

Architectural Encounters with Essence and Form in Modern
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rowe, Peter G. / Kuan, Seng, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Built around snatches of discussion overheard in a Beijing design studio, this book explores attitudes toward architecture in China since the opening of the Treaty Ports in the s. Central to the discussion are the concepts of ti and yong, or "essence" and "form," Chinese characters that are used to define the proper arrangement of what should be considered modern and essentially Chinese. Ti and yong have gone through various transformations--for example, from "Chinese learning for essential principles and Western learning for practical application" to "socialist essence and cultural form" and an almost complete reversal to "modern essence and Chinese form." The book opens with a discussion of cultural developments in China in response to the forced opening to the West in the mid-nineteenth century, efforts to reform the Qing dynasty, and the Nationalist and Communist regimes. It then considers the return of overseas-educated Chinese architects and foreign influences on Chinese architecture, four architectural orientations toward tradition and modernity in the s and s, and the controversy over the use of "big roofs" and other sinicizing aspects of Chinese architecture in the s. The book then moves to the hard economic conditions of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, when architecture was almost abandoned, and the beginning of reform and opening up to the outside world in the late s and s. Finally, it looks at the present socialist market economy and Chinese architecture during the still incomplete process of modernization. It closes with a prognosis for the future.

Earth Sheltered Housing: Code, Zoning, and Financing Issues
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Underground Space Center, Space Center / University of Minnesota, Of Minnesota / Department of Housing & Urban Development, PUBLISHER: University Press of the Pacific, Interest in the use of earth sheltered housing has expanded greatly in the past six years and particularly in the last two years. Prior to , the few isolated earth sheltered houses in the United States had been built for primarily aesthetic reasons. Since then, due to the greater awareness of energy conservation and the environment, the number of earth sheltered houses has increased very rapidly. Despite the sizable increase in interest and awareness of the earth sheltered housing option, however, housing starts for this type of structure are still only a tiny fraction of all housing starts. In examining the future of earth sheltered housing, two key questions are raised: Does earth sheltered construction offer sufficient net advantages in relation to other types of housing to sustain a widespread continued increase in its use? Are there legal, regulatory or financing restraints which will make this a difficult option to pursue and hence only sought by the determined home owner/builder? This study discusses these issues in order to determine whether earth sheltered housing use is likely to continue to expand substantially, and whether such expansion is being hindered by unnecessary restraints. If there are such restraints it must be determined whether governmental actions can and should ease these restraints and, in addition, provide a positive boost for this type of construction.
Apple IPAD AIR WI-FI 4G LTE 32GB MD795TY/A Table
All-new design. Leaner. And definitely meaner. iPad Air is impossibly thin but incredibly solid thanks to its aluminum unibody design. It dropped almost a quarter of the volume of the previous-generation iPad. So it weighs just one gravity-defying pound. But what makes iPad Air truly remarkable is that it packs so much more power and capability into its sleek enclosure. So you can do even more with it, while carrying even less with you. Retina display. So much to see. So little to hold. iPad has always been about the display. And that's even more true with iPad Air. Because we reduced the width of the device, along with the bezels on the sides of the display. But the size of the stunning Retina display is exactly the same. So your content fills your view more than ever. With a -by- resolution and over 3.1 million pixels, photos and videos pop with detail and text looks razor sharp. Pixels are indiscernible. So all you see is what you want to see. Incredible performance. It's light on everything but power. The new Apple-designed A7 chip brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to iPad. That means up to twice the CPU speed and graphics performance for everything you do. And still up to 10 hours of battery life to study, play, build, and create whatever you want, all you want.

Still, the great popular tales spun by medieval historian Geoffrey of Monmouth, and embroidered by Chr tien de Troyes, Sir Thomas Malory, and so many others, must have found their inspiration somewhere. A dramatic archaeological find at Stonehenge and the rediscovery of an old Welsh battle poem, buried among the manuscripts of the Bodleian Library, open up enticing--and misleading--new possibilities. When the beguiling Julia Llewellyn, a linguist working on the Oxford English Dictionary, joins Donald on the trail of clues, their fervent enthusiasms, unusual gifts, and unfulfilled yearnings prove a combustible mix. Their impassioned search for truths buried deep in the past, amid the secret places and half-forgotten legends of the British countryside, must ultimately transform them--and all our understandings of the origins of Arthur. An intellectual and emotional journey of myriad pleasures, Finding Camlann is at its heart a love story--not only of romantic love but also the love between parents and grown children; the intense feelings of professors and students; the love of language, place, and home; and the thrill of scholarly research and detective work. Throughout, Sean Pidgeon's lyrical prose brings together history, myth, and dream, sweeping the reader into the mysteries of the past and the pure delight of storytelling.
Making Economic Policy Work: An Assessment of the National
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Juster, Kenneth I. / Lazarus, Simon, PUBLISHER: Brookings Institution Press, One of President Clinton's first steps after his election in was to create the National Economic Council to integrate and coordinate his administration's economic policies. This new body was given a broad charter to address both international and domestic economic policy. Evidence of its importance was its location in the White House and the appointment of the assistant to the president for economic affairs as its head. Now that the NEC has been in operation for four years and a second Clinton administration is about to begin, the time seems ripe for an assessment of the council's usefulness and performance. Kenneth I. Juster and Simon Lazarus, who have served in Republican and Democratic administrations, undertook this evaluation for Brookings. They interviewed more than sixty senior officials from the Clinton administration and seven predecessor administrations, including two former presidents, in order to obtain a comparative perspective on how each occupant of the White House has established mechanisms for developing economic policy. Juster and Lazarus conclude that the NEC has served President Clinton well, but that it is still a fragile experiment that needs further institutionalization. They offer several recommendations for its improvement, including that economics should be given a more consistent role in foreign policymaking and that the NEC should annually undertake a systematic process for setting strategic economic priorities.
