Description: JAMES FENIMORE COOPER. BY THOMAS B. LOUNSBUKT, PROFESSOR OP ENGLISH IN THE SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL, VALE COLLEGE. BOSTON AND NEW YORK HOUGHTON MIFFUN COMPANY Cambridge COPYRIGHT, l8 2 AND IpIO, BY THOMAS R. LOUNSBURY PEEFATOEY NOTE. WHEN Cooper lay on his death-bed he enjoined his family to permit no authorized account of his life to be prepared. A wish even, that was tittered at such a time, would have had the weight of a command and from that day to this pious affection has carried out in the spirit as well as to the letter the desire of the dying man. No biography of Cooper has, in consequence, ever ap peared. Nor is it unjust to say that the sketches of his career, which are found either in magazines or cyclopae dias, are not only unsatisfactory on account of their in completeness, but are all in greater or less degree un trustworthy in their details. It is a necessary result of this dying injunction that the direct and authoritative sources of information con tained in family… [detailed...]

Publisher: St. Martin`s Griffin
Description: YA Readers of Herriot`s four classics and viewers of the PBS series will recognize many of these stories, which will still bring a smile or a tear to the eyes of dog lovers.

Especially interesting and enlightening are the descriptions of treatments given in the `30s as compared to what research has put into the hands of today`s vet. A good choice for dog lovers.

James Last: My Autobiography

2008 y.
Publisher: John Blake
Description: It was a simple idea, but it made James Last hugely successful. He came up with the idea of arranging chart hits in an accessible big band style and found a massive audience for what turned into an astonishing series of records down the years. Having showed great promise as a child, James joined a dance orchestra in 1946 when he was just 17, was voted best bassist in Germany three years running, and went on to become the in-house arranger for Polydor Records. His first album set the tone, as 1965`s Non-Stop Dancing featured a medley of popular chart numbers linked by an infectious dance beat and atmospheric audience sounds. With his years of experience in the business, he knew exactly how to shape his sound and was shrewd enough to spot that there was a gap in the market for his kind of unpretentious party music. Not only was he right, but it made him a superstar of the big band world. But it has not always been easy. Even with all those albums and trademark cover versions selling so… [detailed...]

James Lee Byars: Im Full of Byars

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: James Lee Byars--who was born in Detroit in 1932 and died in Cairo in 1997--was one of the twentieth-century art world`s most unusual and elusive figures. Enamored with the imaginary and fleeting, pitting the immaterial against the material, Byars was not just an artist, he was a visionary and a dandy, who, always seeking perfection, knew how to cast a spell over his audience through his enigmatic performances, installations and sculptures. Using sandstone, marble, glass and gold, Byars created classical sculptural forms like spheres, circles, gates and columns. Im Full of Byars reveals his work to be a symbiosis of Fluxus, Minimalism and Conceptualism, that has lost none of its mystery or poetry with time. The volume includes a selection of sculptures, installations and never-before-seen documentation of his performances. [detailed...]

James Naismith: The Man Who Invented Basketball

2009 y.
Publisher: Temple University Press
Description: It seems unlikely that James Naismith, who grew up playing `Duck on the Rock` in the rural community of Almonte, Canada, would invent one of America`s most popular sports. But Rob Rains and Hellen Carpenter`s fascinating, in-depth biography `James Naismith: The Man Who Invented Basketball` shows how this young man - who wanted to be a medical doctor, or if not that, a minister (in fact, he was both) - came to create a game that has endured for over a century. James Naismith reveals how Naismith invented basketball in part to find an indoor activity to occupy students in the winter months. When he realized that the key to his game was that men could not run with the ball, and that throwing and jumping would eliminate the roughness of force, he was on to something. And while Naismith thought that other sports provided better exercise, he was pleased to create a game that `anyone could play`. With unprecedented access to the Naismith archives and documents, Rains and Carpenter chronicle… [detailed...]

Michael Lobel
James Rosenquist: Pop Art, Politics, and History in the 1960s

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: James Rosenquist`s paintings, with their billboard-sized images of commercial subjects, are utterly emblematic of 1960s Pop Art. Their provocative imagery also touches on some of the major political and historical events of that turbulent decade--from the Kennedy assassination to the war in Vietnam. In the first full-length scholarly examination of Rosenquist`s art from that period, Michael Lobel weaves together close visual analysis, a wealth of archival research, and a consideration of the social and historical contexts in which these paintings were produced to offer bold new readings of a body of work that helped redefine art in the 1960s. Bringing together a range of approaches, James Rosenquist provides a compelling perspective on the artist and on the burgeoning consumer culture of postwar America. [detailed...]

James Rosenquist

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This substantial new catalogue is a major addition to existing scholarship on the important American artist James Rosenquist. Featuring numerous gatefold images, different papers and a silk ribbon, it contains commissioned essays by Carter Ratcliff--who argues that to label Rosenquist a Pop artist is to deny the complexity of his oeuvre and diminish his achievement--and Sarah Bancroft--who suggests that the notion of abstraction is key to understanding all of Rosenquist`s work, from 1960 onward, and not just the overtly abstract` paintings of the past seven years. In addition, in a wide-ranging interview with Scott Rothkopf, the artist discusses the place of political engagement in his work, the importance of collage, his ongoing fascination with time and the element of excitement: `It`s like taking drugs. It has to be exciting to be able to paint it. You have to feel it`s worthwhile doing it, to really pull it off.`` [detailed...]
