2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionBefore John Sayles was an Oscar-nominated screenwriter and celebrated independent filmmaker, he was a National Book Award-nominated writer of fiction. Now John Sayles has written his first short story collection in twenty-five years. The keynote story-`Dillinger in Hollywood`-is populated by leftovers from the Golden Age of Hollywood who live in a nursing home catering for `below-the-line` talent-dancers, stunt doubles, horse wranglers, stand-ins, studio drivers-who now wait for death anddementia, playing cards, breaking hips, busting ribs, and telling tall tales of days gone by. During one hot summer, Casey, a long-term resident, confesses that he `used to be John Dillinger. In the flesh.` The supposed John Dillinger, a legendary outlawwho had been popped at the Biograph Theater, was simply a `stand-in.` Sayles`s stories, like his movies, are panoramic in scope, weaving together disparate elements, where the past has a powerful claim on the present, where the… [detailed...]

2007 y.
Publisher: Glas
Description: In `Dim and Distant Days`, Miller looks back over nearly five decades of Soviet history to her hungry but happy childhood in post-war Moscow, her coming of age as a Jewish girl in an anti-Semitic regime, her early loves and her student days, her encounters with the KGB as an English interpreter in the 1960s and again in the 1980s as the wife of human rights activist Boris Altschuler.

Charles Simic
Dime-Store Alchemy: The Art of Joseph Cornell (New York Review Books Classics)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Here Charles Simic, one of contemporary America’s most admired poets, reflects on the art of the homegrown American surrealist Joseph Cornell. In a work that is in various degrees biography, criticism, and sheer poetry, Simic tells the story of Cornell’s life and illuminates the hermetic mysteries of his extraordinary boxes–objects in which private obsessions were alchemically transformed into enduring works of art. Simic sees Cornell’s work as exemplifying a distinctively American aesthetic, open to the world, improvisatory, at once homemade and universal, modest and teasing and profound. Full of unexpected riches, Dime-Store Alchemy is both an entrancing meditation on the nature of art and a perfect introduction to a major American artist by one of his peers–a book that can be perused at length or dipped into at leisure again and again.

Dimensions of Inequality in Canada (Equality, Security, Community)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Canada is commonly portrayed as becoming a more and more polarized society. At the same time, Canadians perceive their nation as kind-hearted, and pride themselves on taking better care of the disadvantaged than their neighbors to the south. This groundbreaking volume closely examines these differeing views through a careful analysis of the causes, trends, and dimensions of inequality to provide an overall assessment of the state of inequality in Canada. The contributions from leading economists, sociologists, philosophers, and political scientists provide frameworks for thinking about inequality, original analyses using Canadian data, and assessments of significant policy issues, methodologies, and research agendas. Topics include inequalities in economic, labor, health, and political and social participation, which are influenced by factors such as family status, gender, age, ethnicity, and language. An invaluable source of information for policy makers, researchers, and students… [detailed...]

Dimensions of Law in the Service of Order: Origins of the Federal Income Tax, 1861-1913

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A sophisticated and accessible application of the newest theoretical work in public-policy history and legal studies, this book is a detailed account of how a permanent income tax was enacted into law in the United States. The tax originated as an apology for the aggressive manipulation of other forms of taxation, especially the tariff, during the Civil War. Levied with very low rates on a small proportion of the population and raising little revenue, the early tax was designed to preserve imbalances in the structure of wealth and opportunity, rather than to ameliorate or abolish them, by strengthening the status quo against fundamental attacks by the political left and right. This book shows that the early course of income taxation was more clearly the product of centrist ideological agreement, despite occasional divergences, than of `conservative-liberal` allocative conflict.

Dimensions of Ritual Economy, Volume 27 (Research in Economic Anthropology)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Increasingly, economists have acknowledged that a major limitation to economic theory has been its failure to incorporate human values and beliefs as motivational factors. Conversely, the economic underpinnings of ritual practice are under-theorized and therefore not accessible to economists working on synthetic theories of human choice. This book addresses the problem by bringing together anthropologists with diverse backgrounds in the study of religion and economy to forge an analytical vocabulary that constitutes the building blocks of a theory of ritual economythe process of provisioning and consuming that materializes and substantiates worldview for managing meanings and shaping interpretations. The chapters in Part I explore how values and beliefs structure the dual processes of provisioning and consuming. Contributions to Part II consider how ritual and economic processes interlink to materialize and substantiate worldview. Chapters in Part III examine how people and… [detailed...]

This interweaving is literal--the artist slices giant appropriated pictures into strips and then intermingles them as if they were the wicker used to make a basket or the rags used to make a rug, a reworking of traditional weaving techniques taught to him by his grandmother. The resulting photo collage has a pixilated quality but a handmade physicality and offers an overwhelmingly large-scale juxtaposition of images that fight and question and confuse one another.~Published in conjunction with Shoshana Wayne Gallery, Elizabeth Leach Gallery, and PPOW.

Matthew B. Roller
Dining Posture in Ancient Rome: Bodies, Values, and Status

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What was really going on at Roman banquets? In this lively new book, veteran Romanist Matthew Roller looks at a little-explored feature of Roman culture: dining posture. In ancient Rome, where dining was an indicator of social position as well as an extended social occasion, dining posture offered a telling window into the day-to-day lives of the city`s inhabitants. This book investigates the meaning and importance of the three principal dining postures--reclining, sitting, and standing--in the period 200 B.C.-200 A.D. It explores the social values and distinctions associated with each of the postures and with the diners who assumed them. Roller shows that dining posture was entangled with a variety of pressing social issues, such as gender roles and relations, sexual values, rites of passage, and distinctions among the slave, freed, and freeborn conditions. Timely in light of the recent upsurge of interest in Roman dining, this book is equally concerned with the… [detailed...]
