Book Description
"I predict an hour when the term 'Women in Art' will be as strange sounding a topic as the title 'Men in Art' would be now." This statement, made in 1915 by the painter Cecilia Beaux, is emblematic of American women artists seeking a literal and metaphorical studio in which to practice their craft. The city of Boston saw perhaps the largest and most accomplished concentration of women artists in the country, and A Studio of Her Own tells the interwoven stories of 40 of them in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It explores their lives and work both individually and communally, taking particular note of the relationships they formed that enabled many of them to excel. Along with individual portraits of the artists, the book includes discussions of such contextual issues as the importance of the Arts and Crafts movement, concerns of marriage, family, and sexuality, and the role of the MFA School. A Studio of Her Own is the definitive work on an important moment in America's cultural and artistic history.
Book Description
The Surrealists endlessly manipulated and fetishized the body—especially the female body. The emerging mechanics of fashion promotion ensured that this new vision of the body was widely seen as the fashion magazine played an innovative role in promoting a new and often highly eroticized femininity. From the extraordinary jewelry of Salvador Dalí to the collections of Elsa Schiaparelli and Meret Oppenheim, The Surreal Body is a stunningly illustrated look at mind-bending Surrealist fashion and adornment.

Book Description
Surrealism remains a great inspiration for the fashion world. Designers embraced the ideals and aesthetics of such creative geniuses as Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Rene Magritte and Man Ray. With fun, amusing and extraordinary creations, they quickly began to unstitch the institutionalized notions of fashion, adding imagination, color and scandal to this ancient trade. Fashion & Surrealism is a testament to the fruitful infatuation that fashion has had with Surrealism, an infatuation that is still very visible in the works of contemporary designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gaultier and Serge Lutens.

For those that enjoyed this book..........2002-10-01
You can look forward to the publication of "In a Surreal Fashion: The Creative Collaboration between Schiaparelli and Dali" by Robyn Gibson in January 2003 (Berg Publishers). I know I am!
Brilliant!.......2000-07-25
This book explores the relationship between fashion and the surrealism art movement. It includes gorgeous photos and interesting text. I was especially interested in the section of Dali's works and Schiaparelli's designs, showing how the two influenced one another. Fashion can be and should be fun, and this lovely coffee table book demonstrates how this can be achieved. Truly a beautiful work.

A true idealist.......2000-06-10
I didn't know much about Oppenheim before reading this book. But after exploring these pages I developed a fondness for her creative thinking. Oppenheim had a certain flare for novelty that many creative people seem to lack. You'll see exactly what I mean when you check out the various photos of some of her wild ideas (like a belt made out of arms - so it looks like someone has their arms around you). It was great to see so many artistic possibilities that I never would have considered. The book is very well written and gave enough information for me to feel as if I've learned something valuable about this artist. For any person who truly loves to explore creative possibilities I recommend this book.

From the author: John Ashbery's poetry has been the subject of numerous studies that established loose connections between his work and surrealism, often without resorting to close analysis of specific texts. In this essay I study Ashbery's surrealism with special attention to his adoption of metaphysical imagery from the Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico. While I track the recurrence of this imagery throughout several of Ashbery's books, the main aim of this essay is to provide a new perspective on a stylistic lineage that stretches back to Parmigianino and reaches Ashbery via de Chirico. Rather than a collection of purely formal features, what links these three artists is a tension that lies "in the concept / Rather than its realization"--using Ashbery's own characterization of Parmigianino's painting.

ASIN: B000I9M4HK |
Book Description
Kenneth Anger: author of Hollywood Babylon, true disciple of Aleister Crowley, former mentor to both Bobby Beausoleil and Mick Jagger, amongst others - and almost certainly the most original and talented film-maker of the 20th Century.
??
Moonchild presents revelatory texts on the occult, mind-altering, homo-erotic, synaesthetic and pop-culture tropes to be found within such classic underground films as Fireworks, Inauguration Of The Pleasure Dome, Scorpio Rising, Invocation Of My Demon Brother, and Lucifer Rising. Contributors inclue Mikita Brottman (author of Hollywood Hex) and Jack Sargeant (author of Deathtripping and Naked Lens).
??
Accompanied by a host of opulent film images, a filmography and quotes from Anger himself, Moonchild is the definitive study of one of cinema's most charismatic yet elusive innovators.

Customer Reviews:
Beautiful and Insightful.......2002-05-27
Simply put, Moonchild is the most comprehensive, insightful book dealing with the genius of Kenneth Anger, avant-garde filmmaker and modern day magus. Dealing with themes throughout Anger's Magick Lantern Cycle such as myth and symbolism as well as the occult, clearly laying out their profound importance within the Anger oeuvre, Moonchild should be purchased by anyone wanting to gain true insight into the mind of Anger - what a frighteningly beautiful place - as well as a deeper understanding of his films and their highly complex, fine-tuned structures. A must have.

Book Description
Departing from the encyclopedic nature of most Principles texts, which encourages students to simply memorize concepts and see economics as a collection of unrelated terms, formulas, graphs, and theories, this text provides students with a picture of economics as a unified discipline; a set of interrelated tools and ideas that can be used to look at the world in a different way. This book's concise, less is more approach has been carefully crafted in terms of both content and supporting pedagogy to keep students focused on learning and applying the central ideas used in economic analysis. It uniquely employs a simple methodology throughout to emulate how economists look at problems, and teaches students how to use this same analytical process in developing their own economic analysis skills. Hall/Lieberman's careful focus on core theoretical ideas as well as systematically applying the theoretical tools to interesting real-world questions conveys the message that economics is an integrated, powerful body of knowledge that can be used to address important issues.

A Superb Introduction to Economics.......2006-02-16
The first time I tried to take economics, I gave up. The teacher was no good, and the textbook we were using didn't help. So I put the course off for two years until I couldn't wait any longer.
But things have changed, thank God! The second time around I had a much better teacher, but more than that, we used this textbook instead, and I swear it helped me do well in the class. It is SO clearly written, with great examples and great stories. I admit I was intimidated by economics at first, but this book has a way of explaining the concepts that makes you think, "Hey, I actually get this." The authors give you credit for being an intelligent person, and they provide really clear analysis while walking you through the tougher parts step by step.
As for the review here that talks about the authors' political agenda, I have to come to the authors' defense. I consider myself very middle of the road politically, and believe me, there is nothing objectionable here. The authors are very careful to present both sides of various debates, and those debates are always framed as two sides of a story - and they don't take either side, they just report the controversy and let the reader decide for himself.
After reading this book and taking this course, I feel that I understand the newspaper and TV news much better. So, thanks Robert Hall and Marc Lieberman, I got an A in principles of econ when I thought the best I could hope for was a D.
Nice pictures, bad book.......2005-02-23
I was required to use this book for a college macro course. I found this to be one of the worst business textbooks I've seen so far. I think it fails its job at giving the average college student a good understanding of the macro economy.
When explaining simple concepts that should be easy to grasp, the book loads the reader down with obscure mathematical equations and other gobblygook. On rather complicated topics where additional details would help, they try to condense the topics making it difficult to see the big picture. To figure out what I was supposed to learn, I had to use other sources to help me out (i.e. websites and other business books). I also think the authors are poor at making comprehensible analogies.
Perhaps the most annoying aspect was the author's injected liberal opinion. In a few chapters, they innuendo their griefs about how businesses are unfair to poor people and that successful individuals should have their winnings reallocated to the less privileged. They also gripe about how not everyone can find a job in a capitalist society. It seems that the authors have little understanding of concepts like competition and motivation to be successful.
If you are a course coordinator considering this book for a macroeconomics class, please do your students a favor and seek a different book. As a student, it is more helpful to have a book free of opinions. A book that uses clear explanations rather than confusing lines and charts. If the websites and other sources I used can clearly state the material, so can a textbook!
Superb textbook.......1999-10-15
Easy and fun to use. Excellent blend of academia and real-life examples. Charts, graphs, and illustrations were colorful and easy to understand. Also, authors Hall and Liberman provide readers access to their macroecon website for additional study. I used this text at the postgraduate level - great for undergrads, too.
