Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 241 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm ; ISBN 9780911051674, 0911051678 OCLC 430078581 LCCN 2009920240 LC DT1388.H46 A3 2009 Dewey 967.303092 ; SIGNED presentation by author on title page ; color photographic stiff paper wrappers ; At Home Abroad is a stunning autobiography of Nancy Henderson-James's youth in Africa. Heart-wrenching is her uprooting at age 15 when the war for independence began, from Angola, whose natural world, people, customs, languages she so loved. Nancy bravely and articulately recounts a true saga of personal loss and bereavement. But out of the crucible of conflicts between herself and her parents, the Africa she loved and the America from which she felt estranged, comes crystalline strength, confidence, humor, and self-knowledge. Her journey to wholeness, with its exquisite analysis and detail, enlightens us, so that we, too, see our own lives with new understanding and compassion and recognize better our place in the 21st century as citizens of the world. --Judy Hogan, Founding Editor of Carolina Wren Press, 1976-91. ; In this intimate and detailed autobiography, Nancy Henderson-James throws open the door on a room in the history of religion that has been locked and double-bolted: the life of a child of Christian missionaries in the 1950's in Africa. It is not another story of the children of a crazy preacher or an abusive father. Rather it is a story of the loneliness of a daughter of liberal Protestant missionaries who do (almost) everything right professionally, but are absent in crucial ways to the lives of their children. "I was dancing between complex alliances of race, nationality, gender and religion." Readers will wince at a wastebasket made from an elephant's foot, at a child going to a male teacher to tell a secret that belongs to a parent, at images of spacious homes and multiple servants in a village of poor dwellings - ". . . my life in white colonial Angola . . .in the midst of a system fast coming apart." But At Home Abroad is also the story of a young woman finding her own way to survival, to freedom, and to her own spiritual path. -- Pat Schneider, author: Writing Alone and With Others, Oxford University Press, 2003 ; Nancy Henderson-James has written a tremendous book. Her writing skillfully weaves the threads of a beautiful exotic setting, the discoveries and tensions of adolescence, the powerful shaping attachment to a very particular place, and the void of absence. I highly recommend her memoir to anyone exploring the mysterious terrain of childhood, the challenge of straddling vastly different worlds, or the way loss adds depth as well as pain to a thoughtful life. -- Mary Edwards Wertsch, author of Military Brats: Legacies of Childhood Inside the Fortress ; Henderson-James has written a wonderfully constructed memoir filled with honesty and tenderness describing an intriguing childhood life compelling her to straddle different cultures. And through its elegant prose, resonant images and informative commentaries, this gem of a book effectively presents a thoroughly engrossing and moving account of experiences that most of us would otherwise know very little about.-- Norm Goldman ; FINE.

Trade paperback. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 368 pages. Includes Chronology. Checklist of works in the exhibition. General bibliography. This is the catalogue of a centenary exhibition organized by the Arts Council of Great Britain in collaboration with the Foundation Le Corbusier, Paris held at the Hayward Gallery, London 2 March - 7 June 1987. This is a heavy item and if sent outside of the United States will require additional shipping charges. Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (6 October 1887 - 27 August 1965), known as Le Corbusier was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner and writer, who was one of the pioneers of modern architecture. He became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, in which he designed buildings in Europe, Japan, India, as well as North and South America. He considered that "the roots of modern architecture are to be found in Viollet-le-Duc". Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was influential in urban planning, and was a founding member of the Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM). Le Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city of Chandigarh in India, and contributed specific designs for several buildings there, especially the government buildings. On 17 July 2016, seventeen projects by Le Corbusier in seven countries were inscribed in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier, an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement. Some of his urban planning ideas have been criticized for their indifference to pre-existing cultural sites, societal expression and equality. Extremely comprehensive with chapters on Six Houses (including Villa Fallet, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Villa Savoye, Villa Schwab etc), Furniture, The Architect as Artist, Great Projects, Urbanism, The Sacred and the Search for Myths (incl. Notre-Dame du Haut Ronchamp, Monastery of Sainte-Marie de la Tourette etc), India, Firminy-Vert.

Writers and other intellectuals throughout the world celebrated it. Even the U.S. State Department bought copies to exhi bit at USIA libraries overseas as exemplars of American periodical publishing. But bluenoses here at home railed against the publication and one, the New York smut-hunting Catholic priest Morton Hill, persuaded U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy t o have me indicted, as Father Hill later boasted, for distributing 'obscene' literature through the mails, a federal crime. The indictment sought punishment of $280,000 in fines and 280 years in prison. New York's newspapers gave prominent play to F ather Hill's and the Justice Department's attacks against me. They quoted -- straight-faced -- the remarks of Congresswoman Kathryn O'Hay Granahan who declared, on the floor of the House of Representatives, that my publication of EROS was 'part of a n international Communist plot.' But newspapers ignored my every attempt to defend myself against these moronic allegations. I announced press conferences at various sites around town: at the Benjamin Franklin statue on Newspaper Row, at my magazine 's offices, on the steps of the General Post Office. All were listed in the AP and UPI daybooks but nobody showed up -- with one exception: Gay Talese, then a star reporter for The New York Times, appeared at my Post Office press conference where I presented an impassioned rebuttal of my attackers' charges and answered his few questions. I distinctly remember that he jotted down not a single word of my remarks. The Times ran no story the next day and Talese went onto become vice president and a director of P.E.N., the international organization dedicated to combating censorship of authors and publishers. After a brief trial in June, 1963, I was convicted in U.S. District Court, Philadelphia." ; Contents: MM 6/21/82 / Bert Stern -- Aphrod esiacs : The Pharmacopoeia of Love / Warren Boroson -- Aphrodesiac Recipes -- Sam Roth, Prometheus of the Unprintable / Robert Antrim -- The Unicorn as Phallic Symbol / David Bar-Illan -- Kiss My Firm But Pliant Lips : A Short Story / Dan Greenburg -- The Merry Muses of Caledonia / Robert Burns -- My Quest for a French Tickler in Japan / Mimi Sheraton -- Q: How do Porcupines Do It?
