Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henri David Thoreau was an American writer, philosopher, publicist, naturalist, and poet. He prominently represented American transcendentalism throughout the mid-1800s. Thoreau’s love and observations of nature played a significant role in his writings, often forming the basis for critiques on modern society. As a naturalist, he advocated for the conservation of nature. Thoreau encouraged individual, passive, non-violent as a means of resistance to public evils. He personally supported the abolitionist movement and, as much as possible, took an active interest in the fate of fugitive slaves who were sought by the police. His essay "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" (1849) influenced Leo Tolstoy, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. Thoreau’s key ideas and observations are contained in these collected works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “To be up all night in the darkness of your youth but to be ready for the day to come…that was what going to Brown felt like.” —Jeffrey Eugenides In celebration of Brown University’s 250th anniversary, fifty remarkable, prizewinning writers and artists who went to Brown provide unique stories—many published for the first time—about their adventures on College Hill. Funny, poignant, subversive, and nostalgic, the essays, comics, and poems in this collection paint a vivid picture of college life, from the 1950s to the present, at one of America’s most interesting universities. Contributors: Donald Antrim, Robert Arellano, M. Charles Bakst, Amy DuBois Barnett, Lisa Birnbach, Kate Bornstein, Sarah Shun-lien Bynum, Mary Caponegro, Susan Cheever, Brian Christian, Pamela Constable, Nicole Cooley, Dana Cowin, Spencer R.

Book excerpt: "Hans Burkhardt was born in Basel, Switzerland in 1904. In 1924, after years of Dickensian poverty, he immigrated to New York City. Working in a furniture factory during the day, he took art classes at night. One of his teachers was Armenian immigrant Arshile Gorky, who became Burkhardt's mentor, friend and occasional collaborator. Burkhardt moved to Los Angeles in 1937 and exhibited widely until his death in 1994. Burkhardt's work ranged from lyrical naturalism to early cubist explorations to quasi-surrealist distortions to intense expressionism. In painting, drawing and printmaking, he addressed the visual delights of everyday life and the horrors of war, the truths of love and the lies of government. The diverse formal and emotional territories of his work are united by Burkhardt's humanistic vision and astonishing technical skills. He created images of sumptuous beauty and searing commentaries on the social and political issues of the time. In doing so, he made a unique and lasting contribution to 20th century art. Burkhardt used art to analyze form, to protest social inequities, and to explore the mysteries of life. He also used art as a potent teaching tool, working on the faculty at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) from 1963 to 1973, and continuing to offer weekly workshops on campus until 1990. In the 1970s and 1980s, Burkhardt made a series of gifts to the university. Now totaling almost 1,000 pieces, the CSUN Hans Burkhardt Foundation Collection is a stunning assemblage of the master artist's oeuvre. This book serves as a catalogue to the Fall 2008 exhibition of selected Burkhardt works from the CSUN Collection, and as an introduction to that collection for future students and scholars. The exhibition was organized by Betty Ann Brown, Professor of Art History in CSUN's Department of Art. Brown also edited this volume, which includes her essay, as well as contributions by Peter Selz, University of California, Berkeley Professor Emeritus of Art History; Margarita Nieto, Professor in CSUN's Department of Chicano/a Studies; and Jack Rutberg, founder and owner of Jack Rutberg Fine Arts Gallery."--Provided by publisher

Book excerpt: James Brown. John Brown's raid. Brown v. the Topeka Board of Ed. The prizewinning author of Blue Laws meditates on all things "brown" in this powerful new collection. “Vital and sophisticated ... sinks hooks into you that cannot be easily removed.” —The New York Times Divided into "Home Recordings" and "Field Recordings," Brown speaks to the way personal experience is shaped by culture, while culture is forever affected by the personal, recalling a black Kansas boyhood to comment on our times. From "History"—a song of Kansas high-school fixture Mr. W., who gave his students "the Sixties / minus Malcolm X, or Watts, / barely a march on Washington"—to "Money Road," a sobering pilgrimage to the site of Emmett Till's lynching, the poems engage place and the past and their intertwined power. These thirty-two taut poems and poetic sequences, including an oratorio based on Mississippi "barkeep, activist, waiter" Booker Wright that was performed at Carnegie Hall and the vibrant sonnet cycle "De La Soul Is Dead," about the days when hip-hop was growing up ("we were black then, not yet / African American"), remind us that blackness and brownness tell an ongoing story. A testament to Young's own—and our collective—experience, Brown offers beautiful, sustained harmonies from a poet whose wisdom deepens with time.

In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Book excerpt: "Going back to her ancestral homeland, a Greek American girl discovers she is a lesbian in love with God, so her questions about home and belonging will not be easily answered. This Way Back dramatizes a childhood split between Queens, New York, and Cyprus, an island nation with a long colonial history and a culture to which Joanna Eleftheriou could never quite adjust. While the author's life binds the essays in This Way Back into what reads like a memoir, the book questions memoir's conventional boundaries between the individual and her community, and between political and personal loss, the human and the environment, and the living and the dead"--
