Kate Holden
In My Skin: A Memoir

2008 y.
Publisher: Arcade Publishing
Description: A shy, bookish college graduate, a nice girl from a solid middle-class home but uncertain of her way in life, Kate Holden tried her first hit of heroin as a one-time experiment, an adventure with friends, but the drug took over. Hooked, she lost her job, her apartment, stole from her family. Desperation drove her onto the streets, where she became `Lucy` offering her body for cash to the first car to stop, risking arrest and, worse, the human predators` anything for her next fix. With her name on the police blotter, she left the streets and offered her services to first one, then another high-class brothel, where she discovered hidden strengths, as well as parts of herself that frightened her. Throughout, however hurt and dismayed, her family never abandoned her, and their acceptance and unyielding love helped her defeat the drug and leave her netherworld behind. In taut, devastating, unflinching prose, Kate Holden recounts this journey with an emotional honesty and genuineness that… [detailed...]

In My Stairwell

2005 y.
Publisher: Rizzoli
Description: The stairwell of New York photographer Mark Seliger may be unadorned, decidedly offstage, and very small, but the creativity of so many talented people jammed into one space is enormous. Each artist, dancer, and writer brings a different personality to the room, and Seliger captures that spirit in each photograph. From Paul McCartney to Susan Sarandon, from Tom Wolfe to Lou Reed, all of the participants in this project demonstrate the greatest integrity and highest creativity in their crafts. Other memorable portraits include those of Tony Hawk, Richard Serra, Bill Irwin, Laurie Anderson, and Lenny Kravitz. All 75 photographs were printed with a turn-of-the-century platinum palladium photographic process, a procedure that results in a highly detailed, rich texture. The images are printed in tritone. Fred Woodward, the prominent New York designer of Rolling Stone and such ground-breaking books as Crazy, Sexy, Cool, is the mastermind behind the book`s cutting-edge design. [detailed...]

In Nature`s Honor: Myths And Rituals Celebrating The Earth

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Nature`s Honor explores the eight solar holidays that mark the turning of the Wheel of the Year. Each chapter begins with a history of the holiday--the ways in which it has been celebrated from ancient to modern times, its relationship to other religious and secular celebrations and its cultural and mythological foundations. This history is followed by recommendations for specific activities to celebrate the season that individuals, families or small groups can enjoy. The chapters conclude with formal rituals suitable for use in larger faith communities. These include scripted narration, songs, dramatic enactments, litanies of seasonal blessings, readings from poetry and mythology and suggestions for ceremonial food. In Nature`s Honor reconnects the modern spiritual seeker with the earth-centered practices of our ancestors. This work explores the seasonal rituals that celebrate the earth and our connection to it--which is not just physical but profoundly… [detailed...]

L. Patrick Gray III, Ed Gray
In Nixon`s Web: A Year in the Crosshairs of Watergate

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Challenges some assumptions and offers new theories about Watergate.`—The New York TimesIn Nixon’s Web is the last untold story of Watergate, written by the FBI director who maintained his silence for more than thirty years. L. Patrick Gray III was the target of one of Watergate’s most shocking acts—Richard Nixon’s `smoking gun` attempt to have the CIA stop the FBI investigation of the break-in. And when the Senate focused its attention on Gray months later, the White House threw him to the wolves, John Ehrlichman famously advised that he be left to `twist slowly, slowly in the wind.`This book is Gray’s firsthand account of his crucial year at the FBI, based on a never-before-published first-person account and previously secret documents. He reveals the intrigue and perfidy that permeated Washington and he raises disturbing questions about the methods and motives of his top deputy, Mark Felt, the man purported to be Deep Throat. Completed and expanded by Gray’s son, the journalist Ed… [detailed...]

In Odd We Trust

2008 y.
Publisher: Del Rey
Description: Odd Thomas is a regular nineteen-year-old with an unusual gift: the ability to see the lingering spirits of the dead. To Odd, it`s not such a big deal. And most folks in sleepy Pico Mundo, California, are much more interested in the irresistible pancakes Odd whips up at the local diner. Still, communing with the dead can be useful. Because while some spirits only want a little company… others want justice. When the sad specter of a very frightened boy finds its way to him, Odd vows to root out the evil suddenly infecting the sunny streets of Pico Mundo. But even with his exceptional ability - plus the local police and his pistol-packing girlfriend, Stormy, backing him - is Odd any match for a faceless stalker who`s always a step ahead… and determined to kill again?

In Paul Klee`s Enchanted Garden

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Many call Paul Klee a magician. He was no such thing, he did not conjure up anything. He was a creator who found beauty in the world around him, wrote one of Klee`s students from the legendary Bauhaus. The Swiss-born painter, like many of his contemporaries--Kandinsky among them--was interested in Transcendentalism and found nature an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Much of his oeuvre depicts gardens and parks--from real locations such as the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Worlitz in Germany or the Tunisian Hammamet to fantastic, fragmentary vegetal abstractions. An amateur naturalist, Klee would often collect flowers and leaves on walks, to later identify and store in an herbarium. With more than 200 color illustrations, this publication explores the spiritual, scientific and aesthetic manifestations of Klee`s engagement with nature, revealing a complex approach, by turns coolly analytical and completely subjective. Born in 1879, Paul Klee belonged to the Munich-based… [detailed...]

Description: Does a market economy encourage the creation of music, literature, and the visual arts -- or discourage it? Do economic forces of supply and demand help or harm the pursuit of creativity? Economist Tyler Cowen argues that the capitalist market economy is a vital but underappreciated institutional framework for supporting a plurality of co-existing artistic visions, providing a steady stream of new and satisfying creations, supporting both high and low culture, helping consumers and artists refine their tastes, and paying homage to the past by capturing, reproducing and disseminating it.

Description: In this timely and controversial book, economist Deepak Lal explores the twin themes of empires and globalization and discusses the place of the US in the current world order. Lal argues that not since the fall of the Roman empire has there been a potential imperial power like the United States today, and asks the question: Is a US imperium needed for the globalization which breeds prosperity? What form should this empire take? Would US domestic politics support this? Would the US tendency to see itself as a moral nation pursuing `universal values` such as democracy, equality and rights run into resistance from other non-western Christian societies? The US has already faced hostile coalitions. What is the history and nature of resistance to US hegemony? Lal explores the Islamic threat to the position of the US and the current `war on terror.` [detailed...]

In Praise of Flattery (Stages)

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Nebraska Press
Description: The research is thorough and the writing compelling in historian Regier`s latest, but the appeal of this academic exploration of the art and history of flattery will likely be quite limited. The author of Book of the Sphnix and editor of Masterpieces of American Indian Literature, Regier compiles 128 `rules` of flattery culled from artists, authors, philosophers, statesmen and kings that take readers through the history of what happens `when praise seeks a reward` (Rule 1). Explaining flattery`s role in professional and personal relationships through time and around the world, Regier`s far-reaching study includes forays into business, art, fable, family, government, gift-giving and God, as well as a double handful of illustrations. Despite its brevity, readers will need patience to stick with it, if they do, they`ll be rewarded with a trove of rhetorical-philosophical gems: `Flatteries are the building blocks of fame,` `Poets are the aristocracy of flattery,` `Flattery is the school… [detailed...]

In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed (Plus)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: We live in the age of speed. We strain to be more efficient, to cram more into each minute, each hour, each day. Since the Industrial Revolution shifted the world into high gear, the cult of speed has pushed us to a breaking point. Consider these facts: Americans on average spend seventy-two minutes of every day behind the wheel of a car, a typical business executive now loses sixty-eight hours a year to being put on hold, and American adults currently devote on average a mere half hour per week to making love. Living on the edge of exhaustion, we are constantly reminded by our bodies and minds that the pace of life is spinning out of control. In Praise of Slowness traces the history of our increasingly breathless relationship with time and tackles the consequences of living in this accelerated culture of our own creation. Why are we always in such a rush? What is the cure for time sickness? Is it possible, or even desirable, to slow down? Realizing the… [detailed...]
