Art and Graphic Design
An innovative exploration of the intersection of graphic design and American art of the 1960s and 1970s This fascinating study of the role that graphic design played in American art of the 1960s and 1970s focuses on the work of George Maciunas, Ed Ruscha, and Sheila Levrant de Bretteville. Examining how each of these artists utilized typography, materiality, and other graphic design aesthetics, Benoît Buquet reveals the importance of graphic design in creating a sense of coherence within the disparate international group of Fluxus artists, an elusiveness and resistance to categorization that defined much of Ruscha's brand of Pop Art, and an open and participatory visual identity for a range of feminist art practices. Rigorous and compelling scholarship and a copious illustration program that presents insightful juxtapositions of objects--some of which have never been discussed before--combine to shed new light on a period of abundant creativity and cultural transition in American art and the intimate, though often overlooked, entwinement between art and graphic design.
Ed Ruscha: a Reader
Since the mid-1960s, Ed Ruscha has developed an iconic body of works, simultaneously as a painter, a photographer (with such historical books as Twentysix Gasoline Stations, 1963), a filmmaker, and an acute commentator on American culture. Born in 1937 and based in Los Angeles, Ruscha is a central figure of the last few decades and one of the first artists to have introduced a critique of popular culture and an examination of language into the visual arts.0Conceived as a reader to Ruscha?s practice, this publication brings together original contributions and case studies by an international array of renowned art critics and writers including Robert Dean, Lisa Turvey, Cécile Whiting, Jean-Pi...

Lag: A Look at Circadian Desynchronization
Bill Ragan, M.S. said that circadian desynchronization was one of the causes of several aircraft accidents over the years. While the exact cause of these accidents was hard to pinpoint, many of them were linked to human error. Lag: A Look at Circadian Desynchronization (ISBN 978-1-4357-0221-9) was focused on stress that resulted from jet lag, shift work, and fatigue in aviation. Many of the principles included here transfer over to other industries like commercial overland transportation, law enforcement, and healthcare. How much does fatigue cost you? Only the reader will know, but factors that can influence the costs were discussed in this book. Not intended to be a substitute for a consultation by a provider, some interventions intended to help lower the cost of fatigue were included, as well.
