At Work: The Art of California Labor

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Work is at the core of human existence: it is sustenance, security, survival. Through work we find fulfillment, dignity, and affiliation, conversely, we risk criticism and dissatisfaction and, at worst, degradation and alienation. Not surprisingly, the story of labor?which comprises passionate struggles and triumphs as well as dehumanizing forces?has figured largely in the arts. _At Work: The Art of California Labor_ delivers a powerful examination of labor history in California since the turn of the twentieth century. This is a visual journey that follows early events and conditions, from the rise of statewide organized labor to the changing demographics of the wartime workforce, from the zenith of the California Labor School to the farm workers? movement, from the disenfranchisement of workers in the service economy to the potent effects of globalization felt at the end of the twentieth century. This compilation of images provides a heady insight into one of the… [detailed...]

Kate T. Williamson
At a Crossroads: Between a Rock and My Parents` Place

2008 y.
Publisher: Birlhauser (Princeton Architectural Press)
Description: After graduating from college and spending a magical year abroad writing our best-selling A Year in Japan, Kate T. Williamson felt ready for anything. But, like many a post-graduate, she needed some time to figure out just what that anything was. Her parents` house in Pennsylvania seemed like the perfect place for a brief layover, but twenty-three-months later, Williamson was still contemplating the past and the future, while explaining to curious neighbors that at present her life was `at a crossroads.` At a Crossroads is a unique graphic memoir about the common, yet little-discussed `boomerang years.` With sharp wit and expressive watercolors, Williamson illustrates the joys, disappointments, comforts, and embarrassments of life back home with mom and dad. Highlights and low points include celebrating her twenty-fourth birthday at a Hall &, Oates concert with her mother, noticing the train sounds from her bedroom for the first time, battling an infestation of squirrels,… [detailed...]

At a Distance : Precursors to Art and Activism on the Internet (Leonardo Books)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionNetworked collaborations of artists did not begin on the Internet. In this multidisciplinary look at the practice of art that takes place across a distance -- geographical, temporal, or emotional -- theorists and practitioners examine theways that art, activism, and media fundamentally reconfigured each other in experimental networked projects of the 1970s and 1980s. By providing a context for this work -- showing that it was shaped by varying mixes of social relations, cultural strategies, and political and aesthetic concerns -- At a Distance effectively refutes the widely accepted idea that networked art is technologically determined. Doing so, it provides the historical grounding needed for a more complete understanding of today`s practices of Internet art and activism and suggests the possibilities inherent in networked practice. At a Distance traces the history and theory of such experimental art projects as Mail Art, sound and radio… [detailed...]

Hugh Kennedy
At the Caliph`s Court

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionProfessor Hugh Kennedy makes no apology for the `fair share of booze and sex` involved in The Court of the Caliphs. Every element of his story is drawn from the original Arabic texts: `the writers of the ninth and tenth centuries knew their rulers had their fair share of human frailties and were quite happy to describe them. To produce a sanitized and whitewashed version of history does no service to our understanding of the caliphate.` In this fast-paced and colourful narrative, Professor Hugh Kennedy takes us back to Baghdad and Samarra and the glory days of the Caliphate. From a rebellion planned in a remote desert town to the founding of Baghdad in AD 762, the rule of the Abbasid dynasty was looked back on as the golden era of the Islamic Conquest. The muslim world was ruled by a single sovereign, who waged holy war against the Byzantines and protected the holy cites of Mecca and Medina. For what was to be the last time in history, a mighty empire was based on… [detailed...]

Elana Greenfield
At the Damascus Gate : Short Hallucinations (Green Integer)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description `Elana Greenfield and the English language use each other beautifully. She makes little plays, stories long and short. The short ones, on another day, might have been poems. She is a lovely, lively writer.`-Grace Paley This new collection of dramatic short tales is a remarkable first work by dramatist Elana Greenfield. In these stories, the author peers into the supernatural with passion, humor, irony and a remarkable matter-of-fact voice. In `Possessed by a Demon,` the devil reveals himself through two women who are both the narrators and the central characters. In `Talent,` Greenfield tells the story of a woman trying to transcend the elusiveness of love. And in `The Premonitions,` she lyrically predicts the life of Jesus. Together these pieces work toward self-discovery and awareness, while relinquishing the need to explain the inexplicable. Elana Greenfield lives in New York City. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionUnabridged Audiobook. 5 CDs - 5 hours, 14 minutes David Innes is a young man who has just inherited a large mining company. An eccentric inventor, Abner Perry, convinces Innes to underwrite a project to build an `iron mole`, claiming it will make them both wealthy. The mechanical beast works well, actually too well. On the maiden voyage, instead of digging for a few minutes and returning, they plunge straight through the earth`s crust into the `inner world` of Pellucidar. This world resembles earth but is a horizon-less, primeval tropical landscape where the sun neither sets nor rises, and is populated by `Sagoth` gorilla men, wild human slaves, and the ruling hypnotic reptilian `Mahars`. Upon arrival at this strange world, the men are immediately captured and enslaved. But soon Perry learns to read the language of the Mahars, and discovers a secret way to turn the tables! True to Burroughs form, this non-stop fantasy thriller weaves together savage islanders,… [detailed...]

At the Edge of Ireland: Seasons on the Beara Peninsula

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In recent years, Ireland has enjoyed a newfound prosperity as Europe`s most affluent nation. But tucked away in a far corner of the so-called `Celtic Tiger,` that other enduring and authentic country—that small, hidden place of simple magic and romance—still exists. Acclaimed travel writer David Yeadon and his wife, Anne, set out to find it. On the Beara Peninsula of southwest Ireland, the Yeadons discovered their own `little lost world,` an enticing Brigadoon of soaring mountain ranges and spectacular coastal scenery, far removed from the touristic hullabaloo of Dublin, Killarney, and the Ring of Kerry. Here is the fabled `Old Ireland,` alive and well with music seisuins, hooley dances, and seanachai storytellers—a haven for searchers, healers, artists, and poets hardy enough to have braved the same narrow and winding mountain roads that keep the package-tour coaches out. Bursting with color and life, At the Edge of Ireland is an intrepid wanderer`s celebration of a magical,… [detailed...]

Description: `History like that of Texas is rare. . . . Is it not discreditable to the people of Texas, that they should leave the collection of material for the history of the State to the great endowed Northern libraries? . . . Let Texas arouse herself for very shame, and begin at once the discharge of her filial duty.` So wrote George Pierce Garrison in the first issue of the Quarterly of the Texas State Historical Association, published in July 1897, just months after the establishment of the organization. Earlier attempts to organize historical societies in Texas, traced in the opening chapter, illuminate the factors that came ultimately to be decisive in the success of the Association: the wisdom in linking the organization with the University of Texas, the inclusion of lay historians, and the continued insistence on high academic standards. And, from the beginning, the Association has established a tradition for publishing in the Quarterly, in addition to the Anglo story,… [detailed...]
