Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellen Koment first met Jack Leissring in 1969, when he came to her studio in Valley Ford, CA., and bought the first of many of her paintings. Since then they have been mutual inspirations and good friends. Jack was the collector (perhaps patron) that every artist dreams of, Ellen was the artist that every lover of art hopes to find. In 1995 they were in a French Cafe in San Francisco, where Jack suggested that men, in general, and, specifically he, didn't really understand how women thought. Ellen responded that, while she couldn't speak for all women, she would try to share her responses to art, relationships, and love, any and all things that friends share. These letters, by email, were what came from the conversation.

Download or read book The Way We Never Were written by Stephanie Coontz and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive edition of the classic, myth-shattering history of the American family Leave It to Beaver was not a documentary, a man's home has never been his castle, the "male breadwinner marriage" is the least traditional family in history, and rape and sexual assault were far higher in the 1970s than they are today. In The Way We Never Were, acclaimed historian Stephanie Coontz examines two centuries of the American family, sweeping away misconceptions about the past that cloud current debates about domestic life. The 1950s do not present a workable model of how to conduct our personal lives today, Coontz argues, and neither does any other era from our cultural past. This revised edition includes a new introduction and epilogue, exploring how the clash between growing gender equality and rising economic inequality is reshaping family life, marriage, and male-female relationships in our modern era. More relevant than ever, The Way We Never Were is a potent corrective to dangerous nostalgia for an American tradition that never really existed.

Download or read book An Improbable Life written by Michael I. Sovern and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Columbia University began the second half of the twentieth century in decline, bottoming out with the student riots of 1968. Yet by the close of the century, the institution had regained its stature as one of the greatest universities in the world. According to the New York Times, "If any one person is responsible for Columbia's recovery, it is surely Michael Sovern." In this memoir, Sovern, who served as the university's president from 1980 to 1993, recounts his sixty-year involvement with the institution after growing up in the South Bronx. He addresses key issues in academia, such as affordability, affirmative action, the relative rewards of teaching and research, lifetime tenure, and the role of government funding. Sovern also reports on his many off-campus adventures, including helping the victims of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, stepping into the chairmanship of Sotheby's, responding to a strike by New York City's firemen, a police riot and threats to shut down the city's transit system, playing a role in the theater world as president of the Shubert Foundation, and chairing the Commission on Integrity in Government.

For years, Britain's much-loved gardener Monty Don has been leading us down all kinds of garden paths to show us why green spaces are vital to our wellbeing and culture. Now, he travels across America with celebrated photographer Derry Moore to trace the fascinating histories of outdoor spaces which epitomize or redefine the American garden. In the book, which complements the BBC television series, they look at a variety of gardens and outdoor spaces at the center of American history including the slave garden at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello estate, Longwood Gardens in Delaware, and Middleton Place in South Carolina. Together, they visit verdant oases designed by modernist architects such as Richard Neutra. They delve into urban outdoor spaces, looking at New York City's Central Park, Lurie Garden at the southern end of Millennium Park in Chicago, and the Seattle Spheres. Derry Moore gives his unique perspective on gardens across the United States, including several not featured in the TV series. These include unpublished photographs of Bob Hope's Palm Springs home and garden of renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Featuring luscious photography and Don's engaging commentary, this book will leave you with a richer understanding of how America's most important gardens came to be designed.

Book excerpt: Dean Meeker (1920-2002) was a leader among the progrssive printmakers who emerged after WWII. And while his fame as a print maker may be his finest attribute, his ingenuity and unmatched skills as an inventor of processes, methods, and machinery and his supportive influence upon the scores of students who studied with him at the University of Wisconsin, Madison are his significant legacy. He was a leader in non-toxic methods for the production of intaglio prints; he started the first academic course in serigraphy in the nation and his importance as an artist is reflected in the large number of awards and prizes bestowed on him. He wanted to be a painter/sculptor but his middle years were obligated by family demands which printmaking satisfied. His last years saw him return to sculpture and painting.
