Book by Epstein-Sussex Publishers

In this, Robert Frank's newest book, he both acknowledges and moves beyond his acclaimed visual diaries (2010 17), which juxtapose iconic photos from throughout his career with the more personal pictures he makes today and suggestive, often autobiographical text fragments. In Good days quiet Frank's focus is life inside and outside his beloved weather-beaten wooden house in Mabou, where he has spent summers for decades with his wife June Leaf. Among portraits of Leaf, Allen Ginsberg and Frank's son are images of the house's simple interior with its wood-fueled iron stove, humble furniture and bare light bulbs, and views of the land and sea by the house: snow-covered, windswept, stormy or lit by the dying sun. Frank's Polaroid prints show various deliberate states of deterioration and manipulation at his hands, including texts that move from the merely descriptive ("watching the crows") to the emotive ("memories," "grey sea old house / can you hear the music"). As always in Frank's books, his message lies primarily in the photos; lyrical sequence, an influential approach to the photobook pioneered by and today well at home in his 94-year-old hands.

"War is over; the heroic French population reaffirms superiority. Love, Paris, and Flowers but London was black, white, and gray, the elegance, the style, all present in front of always changing fog. Then I met a man from Wales talking about the Miners and I had read How Green Was My Valley. This became my only try to make a 'Story'." --Robert Frank This magnificent new edition of London/Wales, which features never-before-seen photographs, juxtaposes Frank's images of the elegant world of London money with the grimy working-class world of postwar Wales--bankers opposite coal miners. It brings together two distinct bodies of work, and reveals a significant documentary precedent for The Americans. In also offers an important view of Frank's development, demonstrating an early interest in social commentary, in the narrative potential of photographic sequencing, and innovative use of the expressionistic qualities of the medium.

In March 1949, Robert Frank mailed a birthday gift to his mother in Switzerland: a maquette of a series of photographs he had made during a visit to Peru between June and December of the previous year. Frank assembled an identical book for himself, and these two maquettes now reside in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the National Gallery of Art, Washington. A few of the images are well known in Frank's oeuvre, but until now very few people have seen the entire series--which, in 1949, already displayed the hallmark of Frank's distinctive image-sequencing.--Publisher's description

Robert Frank is a humble photographer who makes humble books. Despite this humility - or perhaps because of it - Frank has produced some of the most important books in the history of photography. Steidl has long been committed to producing with Frank the definitive editions of books such as The Americans and Black White and Things, which have gone through many re-printings over the years, often without Frank's approval or knowledge. This season sees the release of the next instalment of Frank's Complete Film Works, as well as two books that reveal Frank's approach to book-making now. The re-edition of 2010's Tal Uf Tal Ab and the new You Would combine recent photographs, classic images and autobiographical texts in two affordable softcover volumes which possess an unassuming authority.

The Struggle for Madrid is a study of the battles that were waged between the armies of the Spanish Republic and the armies of General Francisco Franco for the city of Madrid. It was this struggle, beginning with the collapse of Republican arms at Toledo in September, 1936, and ending with the victory of the Madrid armies at Guadalajara in March, 1937, that determined the duration and characteristics of the rest of the conflict. It was the central episode of the Spanish War. Due to international intervention, the Spanish struggle lost its purely national character and became at once a civil war of a profoundly Spanish type, a war of independence waged by a section of the Spanish people against German, Italian, and Moroccan armies, and a clash of supra national ideologies that aroused the deepest passions of peoples far removed from the immediate Spanish interests at stake. Although the passions aroused by the war distort contemporary accounts of the fighting, the totalities of these obstacles present no insurmountable barrier to a preliminary investigation of the Madrid battles. Such a study is best undertaken while many of the principal actors in the Madrid tragedy still live. If truth has been affronted the witnesses may yet speak, and from the debate margin of error will be reduced. Robert Colodny's groundbreaking cross of military history and political ambitions helps reduce the gap between fiction and fact.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Since the publication of "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior" by von Neumann and Morgenstern, the concept of games has played an increasing role in economics. It also plays a role of growing importance in other sciences, including biology, political science, and psychology. Many scientists have made seminal advances and continue to be leaders in the field, including Harsanyi, Shapley, Shubik, and Selten. Professor Robert Aumann, in addition to his important contributions to game theory and economics, made a number of significant contributions to mathematics. This volume provides a collection of essays in mathematical economics and game theory, including cutting-edge research on noncooperative game theory and its foundations, bargaining theory, and general equilibrium theory. Also included is a reprint of Aumann's classic paper, "Acceptable Points in General Cooperative n-Person Games" and of the oft-cited, yet hard to find, paper by Maschler, "The Worth of a Cooperative Enterprise to Each Member". This book illustrates the wide range of applications of mathematics to economics, game theory, and social choice. The volume is dedicated to Professor Robert J. Aumann, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel, for his contributions in mathematics and social sciences.

Book by Serling, Robert J.

A novel of airport intrigue. She was young. She was beautiful. And in more danger than she knew. Rebel Martin worked out of National Airport in Washington DC as a stewardess for Coastal Airlines. She lived in the high rent section of Alexandria, VA courtesy of one friend. She had a wardrobe that would make a movie star envious, courtesy of another. And she played the field, in the sky and on the ground. There was Pilot Jim Lindsay, who had a wife and two children. He wanted to marry Rebel. So did young Robert Denham, a handsome ramp agent who didn't make enough to keep Rebel in cosmetics. One man involved with Rebel who didn't want to marry her was Frak Gilcannon, Coastal's executive vice president....Captain McDermott, recently reassigned from Coastal's Chicago office to Washington as a check pilot on the Boeing 727, had formerly been a homicide detective. Now, reluctantly, he finds himself back on the homicide trail seeking the person who'd strangled Rebel. And he finds his answer in two places. In the sky. And on the ground

This book skips from arguably maladaptive representational painting tens of thousands of years ago to the two-dimensional Abstract Expressionism heralded by Clement Greenberg for its ever-more-autonomous forms of painting. Though postmodernism repudiated Greenberg's metanarrative, the American art world was enthusiastic and Abstract Expressionism flourished for sixty years! Bill Kohn's Udaipur Tinsmiths presciently exemplified the anti-totalization that characterized the postmodern. Bill remained receptive to alternative aesthetic strategies, his own the incorporation of abstract details within simplified real world representations. It is regrettable that exclusionary, autonomous abstraction garnered the art world's attention at the expense of inclusive, eclectic figuration. Given those prehistoric millennia of maladaptivity and today's extreme abstraction, it may be that maladaptivity, now cultural, is art's recurring condition. Even Bill may have succumbed to Abstract Expressionism's anti-figuration when, after his India period, he pretty much stopped including humans in his paintings. This book deals with abstract expressionism, Joseph Carroll, cave paintings, Darwinism, Ellen Dissanayake, evolution, genetic talent, Grand Canyon, The Inheritors, Julian Jaynes, Jonathan Losos, maladaptivity of early art, Henry Moore, Neanderthals, Paleolithic cosmology, Jackson Pollock, postmodernism, posy painterly abstraction, Thomas Pynchon, St. Louis Art Museum, sexual selection, shaman control and E.O. Wilson.
