Donna Wylie, niece of Charles Sumpter Wylie, honors her uncle's legacy with this in-depth biography of his early adolescence and involvement in World War II. She combines historical research with family mementos and anecdotes to present the best picture of Private Wylie and his experiences during wartime.

This book is the first to catalogue in one volume all of abstract artist Brice Marden's work From the 1990s, and includes, unlike other publications on the artist, marvelous large details of the pieces, which give the reader a better perspective of what the works are like in actual size. Marden's alternately fluid and tensile abstractions and patterned motifs represent a lifetime's worth of thought about art. The book is published to accompany a major travelling exhibition on Marden's work organized by the Dallas Museum of Art.
