Notes on the Need for Beauty: An Intimate Look at Essential Quality

2007 y.
Publisher: Da Capo
Description: The introduction of this book reads, `Beauty, like every other quality - courage, fear, ugliness, trust, truth, wisdom - is a part of us and apart from us, inside us and outside us, personal and impersonal. Beauty invites us to build bridges and make connections between the senses and the soul, between contemplation and expression, between ourselves and the world.` In this wide-ranging and deeply felt book, artist and writer J. Ruth Gendler invites us to reclaim and celebrate the often misunderstood quality of beauty as one of the most profound and essential forces in our lives. Drawing upon observations from art and mythology, science and nature, contemporary culture and personal experience, the author looks at her subject in its most generous implications - not simply as a reflection of surface and image, but as a pathway to wholeness, integrity, coherence, and ultimately, to love. Written with curiosity, courage, a discerning eye and a lyrical sensibility, and illustrated with… [detailed...]

Kazuko Nakane
Nothing Left In My Hands

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A respected Japanese American historical text now back in print In 1978, Kazuko Nakane interviewed a number of immigrants from Japan who then lived in California s Pajaro Valley. Originally a class project at the University of California, Santa Cruz, her findings were compiled into a book that was published in 1985 and immediately recognized as a classic account of a rural immigrant community. Nakane s book is now back in print in a new edition with a foreword by noted writer Naomi Hirahara. Nakane s detailed research and firsthand interviews with those still living in the Pajaro Valley in the early 1980s piece together a portrait of early Japanese American experiences, from the lives of buranketto men (bachelors who traveled from job to job with little more than a blanket around their shoulders) to the arrival of brides from Japan to the discrimination Japanese faced in the form of anti-immigrant legislation and their banishment to internment camps during World War II. Without Nakane… [detailed...]

Mark Linder
Nothing Less than Literal : Architecture after Minimalism

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn Nothing Less than Literal , Mark Linder shows how minimalist art of the 1960s was infiltrated by architecture, resulting in a reconfiguration of the disciplines of both art and architecture. Linder traces the exchange of conceptsand techniques between architecture and art through a reading of the work of critics Clement Greenberg, Colin Rowe, Michael Fried, and the artist-writer Robert Smithson, and then locates a recuperation of `the architecture of minimalism` in the contemporary work of John Hejduk and Frank Gehry. `Literal` was not only a term used by Fried to attack minimalism, it was a key term for Greenberg as well, and in both cases their use of that term coincides with discussions of the architectural qualities of art. Linder gives us the first thorough examination of the role that architectural concepts, techniques of representation, and practices played in the emergence of minimalism. Beginning with a comparison of the `postcubist`… [detailed...]

Jim Tomlinson
Nothing Like an Ocean: Stories (Kentucky Voices)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Jim Tomlinson’s previous book of short stories, Things Kept, Things Left Behind, won the prestigious Iowa Short Fiction Award and received enthusiastic reviews. The New York Times compared the strong sense of place in Tomlinson’s writing to that found in the works of Flannery O’Connor and Alice Munro. The stories in his new collection, Nothing Like An Ocean, also reflect Tomlinson’s awareness of place, revisiting the fictional town of Spivey, a community in rural Appalachia where the characters confront difficult circumstances and, with quiet dignity, try to do what is right. In the title story, Tomlinson explores themes of forgiveness and acceptance in the lives of two characters, Alton Wood, a high school math teacher isolated by grief, and his sister Fran, who is emotionally paralyzed by her part in a tragic death. The two take halting steps back into the world after Alton receives an anonymous invitation to a church singles dance. These themes also underlie “Angel, His Rabbit,… [detailed...]

Nothing Lost (Vintage Contemporaries)

Description: Book DescriptionA grisly racial murder in what news commentators insist on calling “the heartland.” A feeding frenzy of mass media and seamy politics. An illicit love affair with the potential to wreck lives. In his grandly inventive last novel, John Gregory Dunne orchestrated these elements into a symphony of American violence, chicanery, and sadness. In the aftermath of Edgar Parlance’s killing, the small prairie town of Regent becomes a destination for everyone from a sociopathic teenaged supermodel to an enigmatic attorney with secret familial links to the worlds of Hollywood and organized crime. Out of their manifold convergences, their jockeying for power, publicity or love, Nothing Lost creates a drama of magnificent scope and acidity. [detailed...]

Description: Throughout the United States and indeed the world, organizations have become places of darkness, where emotional savagery and brutality are now commonplace and where psychological forms of violence--intimidation, degradation, dehumanization--are the norm. Stein succeeds in countering official pronouncements that `all is well` simply because unemployment is low and productivity high. Through the use of symbol and metaphor he gives us access to the interior experience of organizational life today. He employs a form of disciplined subjectivity, based on Freud`s concept of counter-transference, and other methods to help us comprehend what such dominating notions as `managed social change` really mean.
