Six Stories from the End of Representation: Images in

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Elkins, James, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, James Elkins has shaped the discussion about how we--as artists, as art historians, or as outsiders--view art. He has not only revolutionized our thinking about the purpose of teaching art, but has also blazed trails in creating a means of communication between scientists, artists, and humanities scholars. In "Six Stories from the End of Representation," Elkins weaves stories about recent images from painting, photography, physics, astrophysics, and microscopy. These images, regardless of origin, all fail as representations: they are blurry, dark, pixellated, or otherwise unclear. In these opaque images, Elkins finds an opportunity to create stories that speak simultaneously to artists and to scientists, and to open both those fields to those of us who have little purchase in either. Regarding each image through the lens of the discipline that produced it, Elkins simultaneously affirms the unique structure of each way of viewing the world and brings those views together into a vibrant conversation.

The Light Fantastic: A Novel of Discworld

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pratchett, Terry, PUBLISHER: Harper, The second Discworld novel. When the very fabric of time and space are about to be put through the wringer -- in this instance by the imminent arrival of a very large and determinedly oncoming meteorite -- circumstances require a very particular type of hero.

Need-Fire

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gibson, Becky Gould, PUBLISHER: Bright Hill Press, Poetry. NEED-FIRE is a sequence of letters and monologues from people connected with double monasteries in seventh-century England. The dominant voices are those of Hild, her kinswoman and successor Aelfflaed, and Ely's abbess Etheldreda. Little is known of these women; the poems begin where history leaves off. "From the moment of Hild's (Abbess of Whiby) birth to years after her death, NEED-FIRE charts the journey of one woman's extraordinary life. It never stumbles in its commitment to the story. In one poem a sparrow flies through a house 'So with the life of man/ of what goes before/ of what comes after.' Blood, water, fire, birds, beds, hunger, cold-the words burn like the shepherd's fires, incantations against dark and despair, the new G-d coming to replace the old"--Liz Rosenberg.

Paths to Homelessness: Extreme Poverty and the Urban Housing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Timmer, Doug A. / Talley, Kathryn D. / Eitzen, D. Stanley, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, This book is the first to combine a cogent explanation of the economic and historical causes of homelessness with accounts of individuals and families on the streets, in soup lines, and in shelters. The human side of the story, told from ethnographies conducted in three diverse cities--Chicago, Denver, and Tampa--shows that there is no "culture of poverty" that makes people poor, just as there is no "culture of homelessness" that leaves people without shelter. Instead, the authors show that large numbers of people became homeless through the processes of urban and industrial decline.Homelessness is largely an urban phenomenon. It increased dramatically when cities witnessed the simultaneous loss of low-income housing and good-paying industrial jobs. However, the increase in the number of homeless people does not suggest a special social problem--arising from the character of individuals--but is the result of social and economic transformations in American cities since the late s.In this book the words of the homeless tell the stories of people who were "making it" before but eventually fell into circumstances of extreme poverty. The many paths taken to homelessness, revealed in their stories, speak to the changing conditions of inequality in the United States today and the need for new public policies.
