The Art of Thomas Rose

Thomas Rose
I paint with acrylic and oil paint on canvas, I use gold leaf and glazes in many works, I often write poetry to accompany my paintings. I paint many subjects from birds and patriotic art, to marriage equality. Most of the images and ideas I use are taken from real life, the birds that walk around my pond, the fabric of my mother's dress, the wallpaper in her bedroom. I use imagery that I have drawn from memories of growing up in Boston, Lady Liberty, Uncle Sam, weathervanes and antiques, geometrics from the nineteen seventies and eighties, rain running down a pane of glass. The poems I write may be reflective of my artwork or reflective of my life experience. I have exhibited my art in Boston and Vero Beach, Florida for; Art Ark, Dale Sorensen, Vero Beach Museum of Art, The Regina Stark Gallery and President Obama. In 2012 I was asked by the Democratic Party and Forward America to exhibit nine of my paintings for President Obama's election, that exhibit ran for several months here in Vero Beach, Florida, something I am very proud of. I have since created two paintings for President and Mrs. Obama I have spent my life like most people in America, working full time and taking care of my home and family. It wasn't until the year 2011 that I was able to make the commitment to paint and write full time. Three years later, the result of that commitment is "The Art of Thomas Rose." My hope is that "The Art of Thomas Rose" brings enjoyment to the reader and encourages free thought about life and love. We are all beautiful people, deserving of love, respect and understanding. I hope you enjoy my book. As always, peace and love. Tom

Match day: football programmes : post-war to Premiership

Stanley, Bob
This collection of covers of official UK football programs--in American, that's soccer programs--includes every league club active from the end of World War II to the start of the Premiership (1992), which comes to more than 100 teams from across the United Kingdom. It covers the golden age of British football, a time of local pride and growing success, of "Roy of the Rovers" good feeling, all of which is reflected in period designs, colorful graphics and charming illustrations, far from the glossy corporate memorabilia that fans accumulate today. These pieces are rare and highly collectible, and the majority are reproduced in this book for the first time, but more importantly for most readers, they offer an armchair anthropologist's trip through 1960s, 70s and 80s England. By Bob Stanley, who worked as a freelance music writer with NME and Melody Maker before forming the group Saint Etienne, and with an introduction by Brian Glanville, a highly regarded sports writer and a leading authority on British soccer.

Constitutive phenomenology in historical perspective

Gurwitsch, Aron
The first of a planned six volumes of Gurwitsch's writings, this volume contains, above all, the English translation of his Equisse de phénoménologie constitutive, the text based on his four lecture courses at Institute d'Histoire des Sciences et des Techniques at the Sorbonne during the 1930s. These lectures were regularly attended by Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The book relates Husserlian or constitutive phenomenology to modern first philosophy and the philosophy of the human as well as the natural sciences and was nearly finished when Gurwitsch had to flee to the United States before Germany conquered France. In addition, this volume contains what is in effect Gurwitsch's autobiographical sketch, critical reviews of works by Gaston Berger, Jean Hering, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Maurice Pradines, and Ives Simone, members of the French intellectual milieu of the 1930s when French phenomenology initially developed, and also two originally unpublished essays from that period. Finally, there are three essays and two reviews from Gurwitsch's American period in which phenomenological philosophy and especially his revised account of the noema are also placed in historical perspective.

Jewish meaning in a world of choice: studies in tradition and modernity

Ellenson, David Harry
"Internationally recognized scholar David Ellenson shares twenty-three of his most representative essays, drawing on three decades of scholarship and demonstrating the consistency of the intellectual-religious interests that have animated him throughout his lifetime. These essays center on a description and examination of the complex push and pull between Jewish tradition and Western culture. Ellenson addresses gender equality, women's rights, conversion, issues relating to who is a Jew, the future of the rabbinate, Jewish day schools, and other emerging trends in American Jewish life. As an outspoken advocate for a strong Israel that is faithful to the democratic and Jewish values that informed its founders, he also writes about religious tolerance and pluralism in the Jewish state. The former president of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, the primary seminary of the Reform movement, Ellenson is widely respected for his vision of advancing Jewish unity and of preparing leadership for a contemporary Judaism that balances tradition with the demands of a changing world. Scholars and students of Jewish religious thought, ethics, and modern Jewish history will welcome this erudite collection by one of today's great Jewish leaders"--

American diplomats In Turkey: Oral History Transcripts (1928-1997)

Bali, Rıfat N.
Contains the transcripts of in-depth interviews conducted by The Association of Diplomatic Studies and Training of Washington, D.C. with American diplomats who during their careers served either at the American Embassy in Ankara or in the country's consulates in Istanbul, Adana and Izmir. These retired diplomats were first-hand witnesses of the Turkish political and cultural scene in the years they served in Turkey and their comments and observations are therefore extremely valuable. This book thus represents a significant contribution to the history of modern Turkey and should be of great interest to both scholars in a variety of fields as well as other interested observers of the Turkish Republic.
