2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this, the only up-to-date critical work on still life in any language, Norman Bryson analyses the origins, history and logic of `still life,` one of the most enduring forms of Western painting. The first essay is devoted to Roman wall painting while in the second the author surveys a major segment in the history of still life, from seventeenth-century Spanish painting to Cubism. The third essay tackles the controversial field of seventeenth-century Dutch still life. Bryson concludes inthe final essay that the persisting tendency to downgrade the genre of still life is profoundly rooted in the historical oppression of women. [detailed...]

Robert Macneil
Looking for My Country : Finding Myself in America

2003 y.
Publisher: Nan A. Talese, 1st edition
Description: Renowned journalist and author of the international bestseller Wordstruck , Robert MacNeil reflects on a life lived between nations, and why he finally decided to call himself an American. Growing up in Halifax during World War II, it seemed to Robert MacNeil that nothing of significance ever happened in Canada. From his mother’s obsession with all things English (even the marmalade) to his own love for American music like Rhapsody in Blue , Canada seemed too small, too parochial for his ambitions. Moving to Britain in his mid-twenties, MacNeil was suddenly exposed to a country with thousands of years of history, extraordinary theatre and culture. But it was in America that MacNeil finally found his country -- America, a land of contrasts and possibilities. A journalist for NBC and later for PBS on the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour , MacNeil was a witness to many of the current events that shaped the last century: the erection of the Berlin Wall,… [detailed...]

Antonio Damasio
Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain

2003 y.
Publisher: Harvest Books
Description: The third in a series that began with Descartes` Error, this book deftly combines recent advances in neuroscience with charged meditations on foundational 17th-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza, and the result is Damasio`s fullest report so far on the nature of feelings. A Salk Institute professor and head of the department of neurology at the University of Iowa Medical Center, Damasio makes a useful distinction between emotions, which are publicly observable body states, and feelings, which are mental events observable only to the person having them. Based on neuroscience research he and others have done, Damasio argues that an episode of emoting begins with an emotionally `competent` stimulus (such as an attractive person or a scary house) that the organism automatically appraises as conducive to survival or well-being (a good thing) or not conducive (bad). This appraisal takes the form of a complex array of physiological reactions (e.g., quickening heartbeat, tensing facial… [detailed...]

Looking, Telling, Thinking, Collecting/guardare, raccontare, pensare, conservare: Four Directions Of The Artist`s Book From The Sixties To The Present/quattro … del libro d`artista dagli anni `60 ad oggi

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis is a collection of seminal artists` books examined through four different avenues--looking, telling, thinking, and collecting. The `Looking` section is devoted to books that are not intended to be read, and so the shapes, colors, andsubjects--sensual, austere, abstract, or realist--mainly address sight. In the `Telling` section, we look at the different ways in which a book can tell a story--both in literary genres and in animated pictures. `Thinking` includes conceptual artists` books, but is not confined to them: we also look at artists who use their books to criticize society, or imagine a different world. Lastly, `Collecting` illustrates the close affinity between the book and collecting, and shows how the artists` book has beenindispensable in preserving many works-as events. These sections are united by essays that examine the current position of artists` books, as well as their genesis, and their future. Edited by Liliana Dermatteis, Giorgio Maffei, Anne… [detailed...]

Loop-d-Loop Crochet: More than 25 Novel Designs for Crocheters

2007 y.
Publisher: Stewart, Tabori &, Chang
Description: By her own admission, Teva Durham used to be a `knit snob`. No longer. Now, the influential needlecraft guru has become a `two-timer,` bringing the same ingenuity, innovative eye, and solid fashion sense that she`s always exhibited in her knitting design to the world of crochet. In `Loop-d-Loop Crochet`, Durham presents more than 25 designs that are as up-to-the-minute, style-wise, as they are thoroughly steeped in crochet stitchwork tradition. Each of the projects, which range from purses, skirts, shawls, and sweaters for the whole family to a hammock and a pair of brocade boots, epitomizes Durham`s signature design sensibility, which she describes as `a tension of opposites - rough-hewn yet delicate, stark yet feminine, organic yet structured`. Decked out in evocative color photographs (by Adrian Buckmaster), a diverse cast of models show off the finished garments. Beginner and advanced crocheters will find Durham`s novel approach refreshing and inspiring. And for… [detailed...]

Description: After sending her rA©sumA© to the CIA on a whim, New Yorker Selena Keller is contacted by an Agency recruiter, who asks her how she would feel about convincing another human being to commit treason.

Living under cover as a government budget analyst, she begins her education in espionage at the Farm, the CIA’s covert facility. All CIA officers must survive a demanding training program, and it is there that Selena becomes romantically involved with Stan, a brilliant but darkly paranoid fellow student with presidential ambitions. What happens next is a fascinating inside portrait of the Agency—how spies are recruited, how they are trained, who they meet, where they go, and most important . . . what happens when they fall in love, and begin spying on one another.

Not even close. Esmee`s in danger so deep, only Johnny can get her out-which is why the elite government operative is shadowing her every move. Esmee had everything planned down to the last detail: dressed in disguise, she`d recover a stolen painting and pay off her dad`s ruthless bookie. Until Johnny Ramos, her high school crush, blows into town and nearly blows her cover. Now Esmee, a P.I. and an art- recovery expert, has a mother lode of bad guys on her trail…including the one bad boy she always wanted: Johnny. But passion will have to wait. Because when bullets start flying, suddenly they`re on the run, playing it fast and loose-and heading straight into the line of fire.… [detailed...]

Looting Africa: The Economics of Exploitation

Description: Despite the rhetoric, the people of Sub-Saharan Africa are become poorer. From Tony Blair`s Africa Commission, the G7 finance ministers` debt relief, the Live 8 concerts, the Make Poverty History campaign and the G8 Gleneagles promises, to the United Nations 2005 summit and the Hong Kong WTO meeting, Africa`s gains have been mainly limited to public relations. The central problems remain exploitative debt and financial relationships with the North, phantom aid, unfair trade, distorted investment and the continent`s brain/skills drain. Moreover, capitalism in most African countries has witnessed the emergence of excessively powerful ruling elites with incomes derived from financial-parasitical accumulation. Without overstressing the `mistakes` of such elites, this book contextualises Africa`s wealth outflow within a stagnant but volatile world economy. [detailed...]

Lorca, Bunuel, Dali: Forbidden Pleasures and Connected Lives

Publisher: —
Description: Lorca, Bunuel and Dali were, in their respective fields of poetry and theatre, cinema, and painting, three of the most imaginative creative artists of the twentieth century, their impact was felt far beyond the boundaries of their native Spain. But if individually they have been examined by many, their connected lives have rarely been considered. It is these, the ties that bind them, that constitute the subject of this illuminating book.They were born within six years of each other and, as Gwynne Edwards reveals, their childhood circumstances were very similar, each being affected by a narrow-minded society and an intolerant religious background, which equated sex with sin. All three experienced sexual problems of different kinds: Lorca, homosexual anguish, Bunuel sexual inhibition, and Dali virtual impotence. They met during the 1920s at the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid, which cannelled their respective obsessions into the cultural forms then prevalent in Europe, in particular… [detailed...]
