Patrick Riley
Character and Conversion in Autobiography: Augustine, Montaigne, Descartes, Rousseau, and Sartre

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhat happens, asks Patrick Riley, when a life transformed becomes an autobiography? What is the relationship between the subjective upheaval of conversion and the representation of character? Who, then, is this `self` writing the narrative of a life? Thinking of conversion as a radical turning point or fulcrum on which incompatible configurations of character are precariously balanced, Riley examines both historically and tropologically the paradoxes of identity and life writing that conversion raises. While conversion can motivate the writing of an autobiography that ties together threads of a life story, it also implies a fragmentation of character. As it creates a unified framework for the subject`s history, it also disrupts any stableconception of the self. Beginning with Augustine`s Confessions as the canonical model of religious conversion, the author investigates the changing forms of conversion in selected works by Montaigne and Descartes, culminating in… [detailed...]

Charging Ahead

Description: Charging Ahead is a classic tale of perseverance against daunting odds in the pursuit of a personal dream--and an environmental revolution. You`d have to be a fool to market a consumer electric car, let alone challenge the big three auto makers witha little start up company. But MIT graduate James Worden, with his girlfriend and a handful of audacious engineers, did both--and he`s well on his way to success. In this marvelous narrative, business writer Joe Sherman vividly describes how Worden and his team built the world`s most advanced EV (electric vehicle), the Sunrise. Combining insightful biography with the best of science and business writing, Sherman captures not only Worden`s own gripping story, but also the technical challenge of designing an electric car in an age of anxiety over the environment. He depicts Worden`s fascination with EVs from childhood (he built his award winning first electric car in high school), tracing it through his monomaniacal career at MIT, where… [detailed...]

Chariots of Chrome: Classic American Cars of Cuba

2004 y.
Publisher: Boston Mills Press
Description: Cuba is a vintage car lover`s paradise. Until the 1960s Cuba was the world`s leading importer of American automobiles. These chariots of chrome were brought from Florida by the boatload, to the great delight of those members of pre-Revolution society who could afford their luxury. Havana in the 1940s and `50s embraced all things American, incorporating them into Cuba`s exotic blend of Spanish and African cultures. Glamorous nightclubs thrived, and Hollywood celebrities were drawn to this intoxicating mix of local style and American affluence. All makes and models of American cars, with their luscious curves and futuristic grills and fins, cruised the streets of the old city. But the Revolution brought a swift end to upper-class lavishness, and resulting political tensions led to a total embargo on exports from the United States to Cuba. The island nation soon found itself in a kind of vacuum of worldly goods, with each American-made car becoming an irreplaceable object. … [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionWith a precise eye for form and a clear love for the tone and timbre of language, Steven Laird creates a profound and surreal sense of place and time, upending it all with brilliant irony.

You need to be exact now. Throughout, Steven Laird teases magic from the landscape (where clouds are `handwritten in loose cursive` and hills can be `read in translation`) in poetry with a strong, exuberant voice?a voice that only `comes to rest / in a tambourine?s emptiness.` Not even your guide can be trusted, this charlatan is no ordinary snake-oil salesman.

Charles the Great-Charlemagne-reigned from a.d. 768 to a.d. 814. At the time if his death, his empire stretched across Europe to include Bavaria, Saxony, parts of Spain, and Italy. With a remarkable grasp of detail and a sweeping knowledge of Carolingian institutions and economy, Barbero not only brings Charlemagne to life with accounts of his physical appearance, tastes and habits, family life, and ideas and actions but also conveys what it meant to be king of the Franks and, later, emperor. He recounts how Charlemagne ruled his empire, kept justice, and waged wars. He vividly describes the nature of everyday life at that time, how the economy functioned, and how Christians perceived their religion. Barbero`s absorbing analysis of how concepts of slavery and freedom were subtly altered as… [detailed...]

Charles Burchfield 1920: The Architecture of Painting

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: One of the great American Modernist artists, Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) is often associated with the romantic nature fantasies he produced in his later years, but his earliest engagements with Modernism are often overlooked. In Charles Burchfield 1920: The Architecture of Painting, the importance of this phase is examined for the first time. Assembling a tight group of Burchfield`s watercolors, it highlights works executed between 1918 and 1920, which depict the stark houses and industrial landscapes of Burchfield`s Salem, Ohio. These watercolors employ certain hallmarks of Modernist pictorial strategy, such as flattened space, reductive simplicity and industrial themes, but without the crisp Precisionism of a Demuth or a Sheeler--rather they convey Burchfield`s simultaneous engagement with Folk Art and Expressionism. By positioning this period as integral to (rather than anomalous within) the trajectory of Burchfield`s career, the insights of authors Michael Hall, Nannette… [detailed...]
