Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Editors' Choice Book Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Literary Hub and Goodreads A playful history of the humble index and its outsized effect on our reading lives. Most of us give little thought to the back of the book—it’s just where you go to look things up. But as Dennis Duncan reveals in this delightful and witty history, hiding in plain sight is an unlikely realm of ambition and obsession, sparring and politicking, pleasure and play. In the pages of the index, we might find Butchers, to be avoided, or Cows that sh-te Fire, or even catch Calvin in his chamber with a Nonne. Here, for the first time, is the secret world of the index: an unsung but extraordinary everyday tool, with an illustrious but little-known past. Charting its curious path from the monasteries and universities of thirteenth-century Europe to Silicon Valley in the twenty-first, Duncan uncovers how it has saved heretics from the stake, kept politicians from high office, and made us all into the readers we are today. We follow it through German print shops and Enlightenment coffee houses, novelists’ living rooms and university laboratories, encountering emperors and popes, philosophers and prime ministers, poets, librarians and—of course—indexers along the way. Revealing its vast role in our evolving literary and intellectual culture, Duncan shows that, for all our anxieties about the Age of Search, we are all index-rakers at heart—and we have been for eight hundred years.

Download or read book Common Practice Basketball written by Carlos Rolón and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How basketball has furnished art with motifs, politics and more from pop art to contemporary portraiture From David Hammons' Higher Goals and Robert Indiana's Mecca Floor to the more recent works of Nina Chanel Abney and Titus Kaphar, basketball has proven an especially popular sport in art, whether in the depiction of players, or more abstract deployments of motifs, as in Barkley Hendricks, or as a means of treating themes of social inequality and political justice. Gathering work by more than 100 artists from the 20th century to now, this volume reveals a little-discussed point of overlap between art and sport, in part to be found in the titular phrase "common practice"--"practice" in the sense of "to perform an activity or exercise regularly in order to improve or maintain one's proficiency." This book argues that the need to rehearse, discover and explore through the act of doing makes these two very different ideas of perfecting one's craft very similar. Artists include: Nina Chanel Abney, John Baldessari, Gina Beavers, Keith Haring, Barkley Hendricks, Robert Indiana, Titus Kaphar, Robert Longo, Claes Oldenburg & Coosje Van Bruggen, Robert Rauschenberg, Niki de Saint Phalle, Andy Warhol and Ai Weiwei.

Download or read book The Genesis Factor written by David R. Helm and published by Crossway Bibles. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book for all who have a healthy uncertainty about life's big questions--Where did I come from? Is there a God? Does this God care about me? The authors believe that the answers are found where Christianity began--with the introduction of God and His work in the book of Genesis. Using the Socratic method, they challenge readers to wrestle with Scripture itself rather than with systematic questions. This candid conversation with Genesis is an ideal apologetic for today's postmodern culture.
Download or read book Five Oceans in a Teaspoon written by Dennis J. Bernstein and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five Oceans in a Teaspoon is a memoir in short visual poems, written by poet/investigative journalist Dennis J Bernstein, typographic visualizations by designer/author Warren Lehrer. As with his journalism, Bernstein's poems reflect the struggle of everyday people trying to survive in the face of adversity. Divided into eight chapters, it spans a lifetime, lifetimes: growing up confused by dyslexia and a parent's alcoholism; graced by pogo sticks, boxing lessons and a mother's compassion; becoming a frontline witness to war and its aftermaths, to prison, street life, poverty, love and loss, to open heart surgery, caring for aging parents and visitations from them after they're gone. Lehrer's typographic compositions give form to the interior, emotional and metaphorical underpinnings of the poems. Together, the writing and visuals create a new whole that engages the reader to become an active participant in the navigation, discovery, and experience of each poem.
Download or read book The Ultimate Survivor written by J. Dennis Marek and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a man born in rural Poland in 1923. During his childhood, the world changed for his country. In September, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, destroyed its weak armed forces and controlled the country for the next six years. With that invasion, the life of Wladyslaw (Wally) Pieszka was never the same.From being required to work at Auschwitz and being drafted into the German Army, to surviving the battle for Stalingrad in 1942 and escaping to England in 1943, his reasons for survival were either the Grace of God, pure luck, or the mere desire to live. His story is almost unbelievable but for the rare photographs and documents he and his mother were able to maintain. Being forced into manhood while still a boy is not something one foresees when growing up. This is the history of one man who wore the uniforms of both Nazi Germany and the Allied Forces in World War II; a man forced to work at Auschwitz during its years of horror; a soldier who fought in the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, Stalingrad. After having escaped from the German Army and completing his service for the Allied Forces, only then did he learn that his family home had been burned to the ground by the invading Russian forces. He could not go back home. He remained in Scotland until 1956. After working in coal mines, farms, and later becoming a painter with his own company, Wally decided it was time to try a new country and came to Chicago, barely missing sailing on the ship destined not to arrive in this new country. Wally Pieszka is a Polish man but yet an American man, with more lives than the proverbial cat. His life in America found permanent employment as a right-hand assistant to the President of the Wrigley Company in Chicago and that led to his meeting and marrying the love of his life, Mary. While some of Wally's memories have gaps, this book is being completed as Wally approaches his 95th year. While some of these names and events have faded, no stories here were embellished. If he didn't remember, it does not appear. This is Wally's story.

Download or read book The Sublime written by Karl Axelsson and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appeal of the sublime in the minds of British critics and poets during the eighteenth century holds a unique position in the history of aesthetics. At no other time has aesthetics displayed a similar interest in the experience of the sublime. This book explores the impulses behind the fascination for that experience. The Greek treatise Peri Hupsous by Longinus constitutes the earliest source for the experience of the sublime, and as such it shaped much of British eighteenth-century criticism. But the attraction of the sublime received stimulus from other sources as well. In the effort to expand the context of the sublime, the author considers the incentives provided not only by Longinus, but also by the criticism of intellectual literature during the second half of the seventeenth century; a body of criticism that was not primarily concerned with the sublime, but which nevertheless served as an important link to its subsequent appeal.
