In this original and provocative book, Fer explores new ways to think about abstract art and the problems of interpretation it raises.

The central character of Abstract Reality, Zack Lee, investigates three cases which are shrouded in mystery and entwined with paranormal twists. Abstract Reality is a sequel to the author’s first novel, The Walk-In. The photo on the front cover features a snapshot by the author, taken some years ago, to document the occurrence of a paranormal event. At this time, she was in the habit of leaving this necklace arranged in the shape of a rectangle on the dresser in her bedroom. One morning her daughter, Lee, entered the room and commented on the necklace, which was resting in its usual shape. The two of them then left the room and returned moments later. During their brief absence, much to their astonishment and shock, the necklace on the dresser had been "rearranged" to form the intricate, cursive "d" that you see on the cover. This incident marked the beginning of a lifetime of unexplained happenings for the author. She has drawn on these phenomena to embellish the plot of Abstract Reality. The author challenges her readers to discern actual events from abstract reality. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Sandy Harrington lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. She studied English and Fine Art in college before becoming actively involved in the age of enlightenment, working as a professional psychic for more than ten years. Sandy’s paintings have won special recognition in international competitions. Two of her works, "God’s Search and Rescue" and Daffodil," are on display at www.periodgallery.com.

Landscape Gardening in Japan was first published in 1893 by Josiah Conder, a British architect, urban planner, and teacher, who had come to Japan in 1877 to serve as a professor of architecture at the forerunner of Tokyo University and as a consultant to the Ministry of Engineering. A man of wide interests, Conder was encouraged by the warm reception given his 1891 Flowers of Japan and the Art of Floral Arrangement to undertake a book on gardening. In preparing the present book, he relied not entirely on his own observations but consulted, and "freely borrowed from," some of the most reliable Japanese sources available at the time, the oldest dating to 1633. The resulting book is the product of a Western, Victorian perspective with access to Japanese authoritative texts. Conder’s study of the Japanese landscape garden led him to conclude that it represented universal qualities that could be applied to gardening anywhere. In addition to a discussion of these broader truths, the book is so finely detailed and so richly illustrated that it still serves today as a guide to modern garden-lovers, whether of a practical or a theoretical bent. The present volume combines the original study with an additional volume of photographs of famous gardens that was published shortly thereafter and entitled Supplement to Landscape Gardening in Japan. The interior of the book has been redesigned and the text newly set for easier reading and viewing. The book has a new Foreword by Azby Brown and an Afterword by Terunobu Fujimori, providing background information on Conder and putting his accomplishments into perspective. Jacket Illustration: Yokuon-en Zenzu (detail), National Diet Library. The Yokuon-en garden and villa was constructed by Matsudaira Sadanobu around 1794. (See Conder’s description in Chapter 1 under Yoku-on-En.) The present illustration is a copy of an original bird’s-eye view commemoratively painted in 1842 after the garden’s destruction by fire in 1829.
We all know what the political landscape is, and politicians and journalists never tire of referring to it. But in this ingenious and original book, Martin Warnke takes that well-worn metaphor literally and uses it to reveal just how politicized the real landscape of continental Europe has been for centuries. The author finds his evidence of humanity’s intervention in nature in the form of monuments and milestones, gardens, roads and border crossings, in landscape paintings and maps – even, in fact, in the anthropomorphic interpretations once given to formations of hills and rocks.The Political Landscape is underpinned with a fascinating array of examples and illustrations, many of which will be new even to experts in the art of landscape and related disciplines.

Landscape In Art Before Claude And Salvator By Josiah Gilbert Author: Gilbert, Josiah Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 500 Publication Date: 2008/08/01 Language: English Dimensions: 8.50 x 5.50 x 1.11 inches
By the late 18th century, the practice of painting outdoors ("en plein air") was widespread, especially in Italy, where picturesque views of Tivoli and the Campagna were irresistible to French and British artists. Fifty years later in France, the Barbizon group–including Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Theodore Rousseau, and Charles-Francois Daubigny–eagerly escaped the studio to paint landscapes, rivers, and beach scenes of their native land. These painters were a crucial influence on a new generation of artists who would eventually become known as the Impressionists. In this delightful and accessible exploration of the National Gallery’s collection of 18th- and 19th-century landscape paintings, Sarah Herring introduces and explains the enduring appeal of these charming small works of art, both to their original collectors and to the present-day viewer.
Suzaan Boettger offers the first comprehensive history of the Earthworks movement in the United States, providing a fascinating and in-depth analysis of the monumental forms that initiated the broader genre of Land Art. Examining the art, the artists, their dealers and proponents, Boettger interprets Earthworks as a manifestation both of artists’ personal stories and of the late 1960s social and political tumult. Boettger overturns many commonly held notions of Earthworks’ origins and intentions. She argues that Robert Smithson’s work on the Dallas-Fort Worth airport stimulated his thinking and that his writing about it catalyzed the movement. The visionary environments that followed, often sculpted in expansive and remote western terrains, were idealized by Americans and Europeans alike as displays of cowboy bravado. Boettger identifies earthworkers Michael Heizer, Dennis Oppenheim, Robert Morris, Walter de Maria, and Stephen Kaltenbach as former Californians whose treatment of the landscape reflects a western spirit. Her international purview integrates early work by the Europeans Barry Flanagan, Jan Dibbets, Richard Long, and Pino Pascali as precedents and parallels. Her examination of Earthworks’ relationship to the ecology movement perceptively corrects a popular misconception about the artists’ goals while acknowledging the social and cultural complexities of the period. Insightful discussions of Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt, and Claes Oldenburg–in addition to the artists mentioned above–are accompanied by many rare and new photographs of both the art and its creators. Witty, accessible, and scrupulously researched, "Earthworks "constructs day-to-day chronologies of the development of the artistic movement and its intersections with the larger public events of the time, including specific accounts of galleries, exhibitions, and criticism. Boettger’s dynamic social history and psychological insights bring new meaning to this pivotal movement that both embodied and disrupted contemporary notions of art, nature, society, and their relationship to each other.
Artistic representations of landscape are studied widely in areas ranging from art history to geography to sociology. This book brings together more than fifty scholars from many disciplines to establish new ways of thinking about landscape in art.
Have heard about or read the classical book by Sun Tzu, called The Art of War? If so, this book will prove far more thoughtprovoking than the original. The book turns Sun Tzu upon his head and shows how The Art of War is based on a specific form of thinking that can never fulfill your true, longterm goals. Instead, it will keep you trapped in a dualistic struggle that will eventually exhaust you and leave you empty.What is the alternative to the dualistic struggle? It is to understand the characteristics and limitations of the dualistic mind, so that you can transcend this form of thinking and reconnect to your own higher being. Only then will you know what you truly desire in life and only then will you find true fulfillment and inner peace.The book takes the original verses from the Art of Nonwar and comments on them, for each showing the limitations of dualistic thinking. Yet The Art of Nonwar also goes far beyond by giving a clearer and more accessible explanation of duality and nonduality than can be found anywhere else.This book is primarily about how you can find personal, inner peace, but by demonstrating the way beyond the dualistic struggle the cause of all war the book also makes a profound contribution to the debate about world peace. After reading this book, it will become clear why there can be no world peace until a critical mass of people understand the dualistic mindset and how it distorts every aspect of society. And this can then turn you into a true ambassador to peace, as you will be empowered to expose this mindset wherever you encounter it.The Art of Nonwar is truly an example of classical philosophy expressed in the straightforward and clear language that appeals to modern people. It is a modern classic. Author: Michaels, Kim Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 232 Publication Date: 2011/09/11 Language: English Dimensions: 7.99 x 5.24 x 0.49 inches

A ‘Best Kept Secret’ of literature: this is a canonical work that should be read by every school child as a superior example of English literature and the epitomy of the written Enlish language. ‘Kim’ is a wonderful story of an orphan in India (the part that is now Pakistan) in the late 1800s. Kim is the son of an Irish soldier raised by locals, familiar with the customs and languages of the Hindus and Muslims of the area who gets recruited by the British to spy for them. Kim acts as a guide for a Tibetan Buddhist priest who is on a quest in India, broadening his knowledge of the cultures of his world and giving him an excuse to travel even further. He comes upon his father’s regiment, and the officers of the regiment arrange for Kim to attend a ‘proper’ British school. Throughout the story, a British spymaster is helping Kim receive an education (both formal and in the skills needed to serve the British rule in India) and arranging for Kim to carry messages and run small but important tasks for him. Throughout the book, the only Indian group that is treated with disrespect is Hindus who have sacrificed their own culture’s customs in order to get ahead in the British goverment. Frequently, the low opinion of the British held by the Indians (Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist) is mentioned, and is usually pretty funny. The other European powers that are mention in the book are not treated with respect, but that is understandable in context. Kipling’s passion for the land he was raised in and his love for the peoples he was raised with is unmistakable, as is his love/hate relationship with the British government (N.B. he was not knighted in a time when most prominent authors were; he was entirely too candid about the British rule in India and the Crown’s treatment of her soldiers). The language of the book is a little hard to follow, between regional loan words and the English of the time, but a patient and persistant reader will find the effort rewarded. A great spy novel, read it for yourself and don’t trust the critics who speak based on assumptions rather than knowledge.

Dr. Kim has also contributed an essay that constitutes one of the most helpful overviews of Korean art currently available.

The photographs of In Sook Kim (born 1969 in South Korea) examine how we give meaning to the rooms we live in, how we use furniture, decor, television, computers, sex, alcohol and pharmaceuticals in our futile attempts to fill inner voids–and how those rooms reflect these voids back at us. Kim’s Edward Hopper-esque settings are constructed with a loving attention to detail, and lit with an eerie glow, so that they function as deliberately artificial mini-theatres in which human subjects seem intrusive or uneasy, perhaps imprisoned by society’s designation of Saturday night as party night. These works were recently exhibited at New York’s Gana Art Gallery, to much acclaim.
