Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Michael Paraskos is one of the new generation of art critics who are redefining the way we make and see art in the twenty-first century. He is a leading figure in the New Aesthetics movement, an informal grouping of artists and writers who emphasise the physical and material nature of art above its conceptual meaning. In Regeneration Paraskos puts forward an argument for an aesthetic framework for art which does not look back to the academic aesthetics of previous centuries, but is rooted in the physical and material nature of how artists actually make art. By doing this, he suggests, an art theory based on essential nature of art can come into existence, rather than a repetition of futile attempts to discuss art as if it is music, or poetry, or linguistics, or visual politics. Art is art, he suggests, and it does not need to borrow theories from other human activities to justify its existence. But Regeneration is not simply a discussion of art theory. It is a record of a highly personal, and sometimes painful, journey into discovering the true nature of art. Originally intended for private distribution only to trusted friends in the art world, Regeneration offers a rare glimpse into the experiences that lead art theorists and critics to think, say and do the things they do.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After a beautiful night spent with his wife of 24 years in Victoria, British Columbia, as dawn filters into their motel room, a man wakes with a start, feeling words flowing into him: the beginning of a book he promised to her long ago. He goes to the desk and begins writing in the dim light; but almost immediately the pen runs out. Not wanting to wake her by noisily searching for another pen, he gets back into bed, and lies awake for hours, thinking about what the book will be. Months later, on her birthday, he begins again, gathering all the old hand-written books he'd given to her during their courtship, and he writes the new book's prologue. Over the next nine months, he selects and arranges the old materials into a story of the sad man he was before she found him, the transformation her love brought about, and celebration of their wedding day and early wedded life. The night before their twenty-fifth anniversary, he meditates on their life together, their wondrous beginning, the years of sacrifice as they raised their children, promises he didn't keep, their life today, his hopes for renewal--but most of all: the endless beauty and strength of her love. Early the next morning, he presents the book to her: 'I Face My Love.'.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A cryptic Western tale of identity and redemption set on the Idaho frontier, this tale from W. John MacGregor plays out amidst the catastrophic Big Burn of August, 1910: devastating and terrifying wildfires which destroyed millions of acres, burned scores of towns, and killed nearly one hundred fire-fighters and civilians. The hero of the story is a ranch hand whose coming of age during the final throes of the Old West has given him several identities: Tad Montgomery, the boy whose father was a notorious strike-breaker and killer; Thaddeus Roe, the law-abiding and sometimes heroic young man whose parents were brutally slain by the lawless Fewkes brothers; and Three Card Monte, the desperado (so the legends say) that he has now become. The tension produced by these three identities comes to a head as the fires of August, 1910, flare to epic proportions. Can the principles by which Tad has lived see him through this trial by fire Is he defined by the sins of his earthly father The answer is held not so much in the historical facts, such as they are; rather, the answer is in the heart of the reader. Inspired by a genuine mystery which falls out of the accounts of the Big Burn, this tale of rough men in rougher times leaves the reader with no easy outs, and there is no omniscient narrator to serve as a guide. Where does the truth lie Maybe in a place just West of the Gospel. and just East of Eden. West of the Gospel, by W. John MacGregor, is the first entry in a series of tales based on the legends of the Fewkes Brothers, outlaws of the Pacific Northwest.

Their low echelon escapades take them to Berlin, Ulm, the South of France, and Zurich.

In his off-time, Bronson paints portraits of the other denizens of Schloss Issel, earning money for trips and adventures to Paris and Nice. Always on the edge of life, he taunts the higher-ups with a light-hearted acceptance of life in the spy world of 1957. Real danger is further off from his circle at the Schloss, but it is an insistent melody they can always hear.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many Classical music lovers are familiar with George Frideric Handel's famous oratorio, 'Messiah', but are not aware his preferred area of composition was Italian opera seria. Biographical books explore his career as an opera composer and the rise of the new pious genre when Italian opera was no longer popular in London, but rarely do we find detailed accounts or discussions on that tempestuous period in the 1730s when this shift in populaity forced Handel to leave the Haymarket theatre and join with John Rich at Covent Garden where he tried to carry on the Royal Academy opera company in competition with the new Opera of the Nobility venture founded by the Prince of Wales before he was finally forced to abandon opera in favour of oratorio. This book explores this rocky transition period and how it affected Handel's work, namely, his inclusion of French elements to his operas and other novel innovations in order to regain his chagrined public. There are discussions exploring the possibility Handel was his own worse enemy with regards to his business decisions as impresario-composer, alienating the Italians of London and his public, which nearly cost him his career. A fascinating study for Handel admirers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - SUSTAINABILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE is a scholarly anthology edited by Jack Lee, Ph.D. (ISBN-13: 978-0-9743472-1-9). HERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE ANTHOLOGY (WRITTEN BY THE EDITOR, DR. JACK LEE): Some scholars suggest we should live a sustainable life. But what is 'sustainability' We need to think about sustainability deeply and broadly. In this anthology, I provide a forum for doing this. Philosophy (e.g., ontology and ethics) is very important. We also need to bring together natural sciences, education, sociology, law and other disciplines. Environmental issues command a multi-disciplinary approach. I am especially proud to include an environmental philosophy paper written by the brilliant young Taiwanese mountaineer Allen Yu before he died, of pollution-related leukemia. I hope this anthology can help us to re-think our engagement with the natural world. HERE IS AN ABSTRACT OF THE BOOK: Today we face serious environmental problems which force us to re-examine our way of life. The consensus scholarly response is to urge humanity to live sustainable lives. This suggestion is appealing as a slogan but resides in academic consciousness largely unexamined as a concept. This anthology gathers philosophers and ethicists together with experts and practitioners from many other disciplines and backgrounds to examine the question: what is sustainability KEYWORDS: sustainability, intrinsic value, ecosystem, animal, human species, Confucianism, environment, obligations to the future, anthropocentrism, global warming.
