Download or read book Lita Albuquerque written by and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first monograph on the acclaimed American environmental artist Lita Albuquerque, whose works belong to the Land Art generation, alongside James Turrell, Christo, Robert Smithson, and others. Known internationally for her temporary and ephemeral installations, paintings, and sculptures, Lita Albuquerque uses the most unusual and challenging of Earth’s surfaces as a canvas: Antarctica, the Arctic, Death Valley, the Mojave Desert, and South Dakota’s Badlands. She "paints" with a variety of mediums, including brightly clad humans or fabricated spheres, which form patterns over vast, wide-open spaces. This beautifully designed survey of her career highlights Stellar Axis, for which Albuquerque led an expedition to the South Pole to create the first installment of a groundbreaking global project. In addition to essays placing the artist’s works in the broader contexts of environmental art and science, Albuquerque provides personal reflections on her life’s work.

Download or read book Forgotten Albuquerque written by Ty Bannerman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1706, Spanish colonists founded the Villa de Alburquerque on the wooded banks of the Rio Grande. Three hundred years later, that once quiet farming community has grown to become Albuquerque, the largest city in the state of New Mexico. Over the centuries, this fascinating city's identity has metamorphosed many times. In 1862, it briefly became the western capital of the Confederate States of America, before Confederate hopes for the territory were destroyed at the Battle of Glorieta Pass. In 1880, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad brought industry and wealth from the east, as well as tuberculosis-infected "lungers" who came by the thousands to seek a cure in "the Heart of Health Country." Then, in 1926, Route 66 transformed the city into a neon-decked oasis for automobile travelers journeying through the newly accessible West. Though many of these identities have faded, their legacy lives on in the beating heart of an ever-changing city.

Download or read book Albuquerque written by Marc Simmons and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here at last is a book that thoroughly chronicles the city's distinctive mix of landscape, climate, architecture, cultural tradition, and history. Through an engaging text and striking illustrations, Simmons presents the major events and personalities in Albuquerque's past. Albuquerque traces the history of the city from ancient times to the present. The account begins with an overview of the geology and geography of the Middle Rio Grande Valley and then describes the successive waves of settlement by Indians, Spaniards, and post-1846 immigrants. Since its founding in 1706, the city has faced conflict, turmoil, and natural disasters that have challenged but not impeded its steady civic progress. In a compelling blend of the dramatic and the ordinary, Simmons brings to life the characters and incidents that have shaped Albuquerque, capturing for the modern reader what its people have thought, felt, and done throughout the generations. Albuquerque is the product of three centuries of continuous settlement, yet it is one of the West's new boom towns, owing to an eightfold increase in population since 1945 and its location in the mineral-rich Southwest. Thus this book has significance as more than a model of study of a city's growth. By placing Albuquerque in historical and cultural context, it gives residents a valuable perspective on their heritage that will help shape their response to contemporary and future challenges -- Book jacket.

Capsule summaries on every pro team, highlights, the team records and managers and photos highlight the first three chapters, while the rest are dedicated to the managers and coaches of the professional teams that played here, exhibitions and all-star games, the top high school players of the past few decades in the metro area, the all-time best Lobos and an exhaustive chapter on the 100-best pro ballplayers of all-time. Did you know old "Gashouse Gang" catcher Bill DeLancey managed the Albuquerque Cardinals for a few seasons? If you like baseball, and especially if you follow the game in the Duke City - and probably have fond memories of the old Sports Stadium - this is the book for you! ABOUT THE AUTHOR Author Gary Herron is a lifelong baseball fan, from his earliest memories of following the Detroit Tigers when he was growing up in the suburbs of Detroit. That love for the national pastime came with him when he moved to New Mexico in 1975 and adopted the Albuquerque Dukes as the team to follow ... and, thanks to his knowledge of the game and its rules, began filling in as an Official Scorer for the Pacific Coast League at the Albuquerque Sports Stadium in 1983. He became the full-time O.S. for the Dukes at the mid-point of the 1985 season, and just about "scored" every Dukes home game through the 1999 season - more than 1,000 games. When the Isotopes began playing at brand-new Isotopes Park in 2003, Herron was the O.S. for their debut and although others share the O.S. duties, he had worked 360 Isotopes' games by the end of the 2012 season. I have known Gary for more than 30 years and have, at times, shared a game in the press box with him. I have known him as a colleague, friend and fan of the game. He has been scorekeeper, historian, storyteller of good deeds done and those which have fallen short. His writing keeps the flame of the game alive in the hearts of young readers and those of us who are young at heart. But beyond stories well-told with prose well-written I have come to know Gary for who he is; a good friend to the game. - Terry McDermott, a former Albuquerque Duke and Los Angeles Dodger Gary Herron is a go-to resource for historical information on the history of Albuquerque baseball. I've known Gary for more than a decade and have found him to be a veritable encyclopedia when it comes to baseball in our community. - John Traub, General Manager, Albuquerque Isotopes
