James Still in Interviews, Oral Histories and Memoirs (Contributions to Southern Appalachian Studies)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: One of the most admired and influential authors to work in and write about Appalachia, James Still excelled in every genre of literature in which he worked, from novels and short stories to poetry, children`s books, and folklore. This book is intended to help readers more fully understand and appreciate the many facets of Still`s literary voice and vision, collecting transcribed versions of virtually all the interviews and oral histories ever conducted with James Still, along with numerous memoirs in which some of the leading voices in the Appalachian studies movement memorably express their appreciation for Still and his literary legacy. The first section of the book features written transcriptions of Still`s formal interviews, most of which are difficult to locate, having been originally published in periodicals with limited distribution. The intended outcome of this section of the book is to compile all such interviews in one chronologically organized, continuous document, so… [detailed...]

James Surls: The Splendora Years, 1977-1997

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A prolific artist with a prodigious gift for stimulating the creativity of others, James Surls is one of the most important sculptors working in America today. His art blends natural forms created of wood, steel, and bronze with sophisticated, sometimes edgy imagery and content to explore fundamental dualities and paradoxes?male and female, joyous optimism and anxious foreboding, conscious rationality and unconscious intuition. Fusing personalized folk idioms with the aesthetics of high modernism, Surls`s sculptures are clearly self-expressive, yet freighted with universal meaning. This beautifully illustrated book, which accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston, captures an extraordinarily creative period in Surls`s career?the two decades he lived and worked in Splendora, Texas. During this time, Surls established a home and artists` colony in the East Texas pineywoods, where he produced an… [detailed...]

James T Farrell: Studs Lonigan a Trilogy (Library of America)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description An unparalleled example of American naturalism, the Studs Lonigan trilogy follows the hopes and dissipations of its remarkable main character?a would-be `tough guy` and archetypal adolescent, born to Irish-American parents on Chicago?s South Side?through the turbulent years of World War I, the Roaring Twenties, and the Great Depression. The three novels? Young Lonigan, The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan , and Judgment Day ?offer a vivid sense of the textures of real life: of the institutions of Catholicism, the poolroom and the dance marathon, romance and marriage, gangsterism and ethnic rivalry, and the slang of the street corner. Cited as an inspiration by writers as diverse as Kurt Vonnegut and Frank McCourt, Studs Lonigan stands as a masterpiece of social realism in the ranks of John Steinbeck?s The Grapes of Wrath and Theodore Dreiser?s An American Tragedy .

James V : The Personal Rule, 1528-1542 (Critical Views)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Though overshadowed by his father, James IV, and his daughter, Mary, Queen of Scots, James V was nonetheless a crucial figure in British history, as is shown in this dissenting opinion about his reign as England`s king. Concentratingon James V`s style of government and his relations with the nobility, this account challenges the widely held view that James was both vindictive and irrational. In spite of a few unpleasant personal traits, it is argued, his reign closely resembled thatof his more popular father, and the rebelliousness of his magnates in 1542 was due to the political landscape of Britain rather than any aspect of James` temperament.

James Welling: Light Sources, 1992-2005

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Los Angeles-based artist James Welling has long used abstraction to challenge the technical and conceptual boundaries of photography. In the 1980s, Welling often employed simple materials like crumpled aluminum foil, draped fabric and pastry dough. In 1992, he began the series Light Sources, the focus of this volume, which critic Carol Squiers has described as `a trope for the seductions of the quickly glimpsed, the half remembered, the partially understood, qualities that Welling wants to hold up, examine and admire without piercing the fragile surface of their own fugitive grace.` While many of the objects depicted in Light Sources literally transmit light, the series also refers to the role of light in the photographic process and, indirectly, to how the human eye perceives light.James Welling was born in 1951 in Hartford, Connecticut. A Professor of Art at UCLA, he is represented by David Zwirner in New York and Regen Projects in Los Angeles. [detailed...]

James Whale: A New World of Gods and Monsters

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comYou may not recognize James Whale, but you surely recognize his most prominent contribution to American popular culture: Frankenstein`s monster, as portrayed by Boris Karloff. Whale, a British expatriate who made his way to Hollywood just as films were making the transition to the talkies, directed both the original Frankenstein (1931) and its sequel, The Bride of Frankenstein (1936), for Universal Pictures. Afraid of being pigeonholed as a horror director (he also made The Invisible Man and The Old Dark House ), he eventually insisted on more mainstream projects, including the musical Show Boat and The Road Back , a sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front that flopped at the box office. Today, The Bride of Frankenstein is considered to be his best film, a work that combines moments of genuine suspense with a thoroughly macabre sense of humor. In 1982, film historian James Curtis wrote his first biography of Whale. … [detailed...]

James `Athenian` Stuart: The Rediscovery of Antiquity

2007 y.
Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: The creation of the “Greek style” and its pervasive impact in England and on the Continent during the third quarter of the eighteenth century was largely due to James Stuart’s landmark multi-volume publication Antiquities of Athens , coauthored with Nicholas Revett. Stuart, subsequently known as “Athenian” Stuart, went on to a highly influential career that spanned the fields of architecture, interior decoration, furnishings, sculpture, and metalwork. This lavishly illustrated book is the first to examine Stuart’s multi-dimensional career and the full scope of his contributions as designer, artist, and tastemaker. An international team of scholars consider each area of Stuart’s work, his early training, interest in archaeology, unique network of patrons, poor record for completing projects, and legacy. With illustrations and discussion of the stunning neo-classical furnishings he created at Spencer House, the Greek Doric Temple… [detailed...]

Description: This book is very close to my heart. It`s about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavors all year round. When I began writing it, I didn`t really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly… my vegetable patch! I came to realize last year that it`s not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working with the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground. Inside you`ll find over one hundred new recipes, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well! Формат: 19,5 см x 25,5 см. [detailed...]

Description: In today`s competitive environment, creativity is no longer an option. Companies that understand how to manage creativity in their people, organize for creative results and willingly implement good new ideas will triumph. In Jamming, John Kao also offers an approach that demystifies a topic traditionally confounding to businesspeople everywhere. He begins by showing how creativity, like the musical discipline of jazz, has a vocabulary and a grammar. It is a process, and because of that it can be observed, analyzed, understood, replicated, taught and managed. He explains how creativity needs a particular environment in which to blossom and grow. Like musicians in a jam session, a group of businesspeople can take an idea, challenge one another`s imagination and produce an entirely new set of possibilities. Kao reveals how managers can stimulate creativity in their employees, explores the impact of information technology on creativity, looks at the globalization of… [detailed...]

Jan De Cock: Denkmal

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Belgian wunderkind Jan De Cock`s latest publication is a slowly unfolding, thought-provoking masterwork that reads much like his renowned sculptural installations--which the artist sees as monuments to Modernism, hence the title Denkmal. Winner of the Plantin-Moretus prize, it uses structural challenges to the book format to offer an entirely new reading experience. Its large format, variety of papers, special cover treatment and 632 pages conspire to reveal a dense web of images and ideas that cross-reference not only De Cock`s own increasingly admired oeuvre but also the entire structure of history into which it is read. Capitalizing on the sequential nature of the book, which the artist likens to film, De Cock guides the reader through this volume much in the way a viewer would experience his sculpture. He presents to the world his Trojan Horse: a book that will certainly be picked up for its cover, but will also draw you into its world of mysteries. [detailed...]
