The Revolution in the Visual Arts and the Poetry of William Carlos Williams (Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is a major step toward a fuller exploration of the connection between the visual arts and Williams` concept of the Modernist poem and of his achievement in transcending an art-for-art`s-sake formalism to create poems that both reflect their own nature as a work of art and vividly evoke the world of which they are a part.

Publisher: —
Description: This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To.The government is expanding. Taxes are increasing. More senseless wars are being planned. Inflation is ballooning. Our basic freedoms are disappearing.The Founding Fathers didn`t want any of this. In fact, they said so quite clearly in the Constitution of the United States of America.

Description: Book DescriptionA selection from 300 recently discovered poems by Hugh MacDiarmid, who 25 years after his death is still a dissenting voice, are presented in this collection.

Ralph E. Dodge
The Revolutionary Bishop: Who Saw God at Work in Africa

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the foreword, by Bishop Abel T. Muzorewa: Ralph E. Dodge, who started out his life as a shy Iowa country boy, could scarcely have dreamed that one day he would be a Methodist bishop in Africa, accused of being a revolutionary. But that is what happened when he decided, early in his missionary career, to treat his black brothers as equals. This frame of mind inevitably brought him face-to-face with the jittery white supremacy of the Ian Smith government in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). In this book, Bishop Dodge recalls his experiences with family, friends, fellow missionaries, and black nationals which helped to mold his character and enabled him to be salt and light to the world where he felt God calling him.

Maria Josefina Saldana-Portillo
The Revolutionary Imagination in the Americas and the Age of Development (Latin America Otherwise)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In The Revolutionary Imagination in the Americas and the Age of Development, Maria Josefina Saldana-Portillo boldly argues that crucial twentieth-century revolutionary challenges to colonialism and capitalism in the Americas have failed to resist?and in fact have been constitutively related to?the very developmentalist narratives that have justified and naturalized post-war capitalism. Saldana-Portillo brings the critique of development discourse to bear on such exemplars of revolutionary and resistant political thought and practice as Ernesto `Che` Guevara, Malcolm X, the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, and the Guatemalan guerrilla resistance. She suggests that in each of these diverse sites, developmentalist constructions frame the struggle as a heroic movement from unconsciousness to consciousness, from a childlike backwardness toward a disciplined and self-aware maturity. Reading governmental reports, memos, and policies, Saldana-Portillo… [detailed...]

The Rexall Story: A History of Genius and Neglect shows how a brilliant and successful business/pharmacy venture was allowed to fail through carelessness and an inattention to the original formula of the company.

Wayne Booth
The Rhetoric of Fiction

1983 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: The first edition of The Rhetoric of Fiction transformed the criticism of fiction and soon became a classic in the field. One of the most widely used texts in fiction courses, it is a standard reference point in advanced discussions of how fictional form works, how authors make novels accessible, and how readers recreate texts, and its concepts and terms — such as `the implied author,` `the postulated reader,` and `the unreliable narrator` — have become part of the standard critical lexicon. For this new edition, Wayne C.Booth has written an extensive Afterword in which he clarifies misunderstandings, corrects what he now views as errors, and sets forth his own recent thinking about the rhetoric of fiction. The other new feature is a Supplementary Bibliography, prepared by James Phelan in consultation with the author, which lists the important critical works of the past twenty years — two decades that Booth describes as `the richest in the history of the subject.` [detailed...]

The Rhetoric of Perspective: Realism and Illusionism in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Still-Life Painting

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Perspective determines how we, as viewers, perceive painting. We can convince ourselves that a painting of a bowl of fruit or a man in a room appears to be real by the way these objects are rendered. Likewise, the trick of perspective can prevent us from being absorbed in a scene. Connecting contemporary critical theory with close readings of seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture, The Rhetoric of Perspective puts forth the claim that painting is a form of thinking and that perspective functions as the language of the image. Aided by a stunning full-color gallery, Hanneke Grootenboer proposes a new theory of perspective based on the phenomenological aspects of non-narrative still-life, trompe l`oeil , and anamorphic imagery. Drawing on playful and mesmerizing baroque images, Grootenboer characterizes what she calls their `sophisticated deceit,` asserting that painting is more about visual representation than about its supposed objects.

The Rhetorics of Thomas Hobbes and Bernard Lamy (Landmarks in Rhetoric and Public Address)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Makes accessible to modern readers the 17th-century rhetorics of Thomas Hob­bes (1588–1677) and Bernard Lamy (1640–1715) Hobbes’ A Briefe of the Art of Rhet­orique, the first English translation of Aristotle’s rhetoric, reflects Hobbes’ sense of rhetoric as a central instrument of self-defense in an increasingly frac­tious Commonwealth. In its approach to rhetoric, which Hobbes defines as “that Faculty by which wee understand what will serve our turne, concerning any subject, to winne beliefe in the hearer,” the Briefe looks forward to Hobbes’ great political works De Cive and Leviathan. Published anonymously in France as De l’art de parler, Lamy’s rhetoric was translated immediately into English as The Art of Speaking. Lamy’s long associa­tion with the Port Royalists made his works especially attractive to English readers because Port Royalists were en­gaged in a vicious quarrel with the Jesuits during the last half of the 17th century.

The Ribbon of Green: Change in Riparian Vegetation in the Southwestern United States

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
Description: Woody wetlands constitute a relatively small but extremely important part of the landscape in the southwestern United States. These riparian habitats support more than one-third of the region’s vascular plant species, are home to a variety of wildlife, and provide essential havens for dozens of migratory animals. Because of their limited size and disproportionately high biological value, the goal of protecting wetland environments frequently takes priority over nearly all other habitat types. In The Ribbon of Green, hydrologists Robert H. Webb, and Stanley A. Leake and botanist Raymond M. Turner examine the factors that affect the stability of woody riparian vegetation, one of the largest components of riparian areas. Such factors include the diversion of surface water, flood control, and the excessive use of groundwater. Combining repeat photography with historical context and information on species composition, they document more than 140 years of change. Contrary to the common… [detailed...]

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A classic of Canadian Jewish literature for over fifty years This new edition of a classic Canadian Jewish novel tells the story of Jacob Grossman, a middle-aged immigrant tailor who travels from Toronto to pre-World War Two Europe. The novel`s action opens in 1935, with a striking portrait of Toronto`s working-class Spadina Avenue district. Kreisel`s narrative leap of genius is his depiction of Grossman`s decision to return to reacquaint himself with his family and his boyhood home of Vienna. Wearing a new white suit, an extravagance bought especially for the trip, he is mistaken for a rich man, and the charade he undertakes to maintain this image complicates an already difficult visit. Grossman finds Vienna transformed by the rise of Nazism and the slow, inexorable deterioration of Austria`s prominent Jewish community. Kreisel`s insights into the forces that would lead the world to war are uniquely revealing. His portrait of prewar Jewish… [detailed...]
