Includes an excerpt from the sequel, Woman chased by crows.
"Humans Untied" is Volume 3 of the Casitian Universe Trilogy. This novel takes off where "The Story of New Earth" (Volume 2) left off. Things on Earth and New Earth are settling down, but then Terrans are faced with an almost insurmountable task, and are getting no help at first from the Casitians in pulling it off. In addition, things get hairy for humans all over the galaxy, as a new Edict from the Galactic Council means enormous changes in human life, all over the galaxy. Marianne and Ja'el reunite, and help the next generation, including Marianne's neices, with a daunting task: preparing New Earth for massive immigration of Humans from Earth. And they all know that what happens may well determine history for 1000 years.
The Eight (Ash Can School), artists who joined ranks in 1908 to challenge the conservative dominance of the National Academy, does not count Jerome Myers among its number. Yet the pioneering work done by Myers places him in the forefront of contemporary realist artists. His focused concentration depicting the environment and inhabitants of New York Citys Lower East Side immigrant neighborhood catapults Jerome Myers into the forefront of artists who boldly sought out expressions of contemporary life. Myerss work allows us to understand these immigrant neighborhoods in a way that would not be possible today if his art did not exist. This book examines Myerss biography and art in detail, establishing not only his preeminant claim to a position at the forefront of the Eight, but also his role as artist-historian of a bygone neighborhood and the positive life of immigrants who lived there.
