Josef Hoffmann
"This publication serves as a companion volume to Josef Hoffmann: Interiors, 1902-1913. It documents the installation of this extraordinary exhibition, which opened at the Neue Galerie New York in November 2006. Four entire Hoffmann rooms were recreated for the exhibition: a girl's bedroom from the Max Biach apartment (Vienna 1902); a bedroom from the Hans Salzer apartment (Vienna 1902); the dining room from the apartment of Jerome Stonborough and Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein (Berlin 1905); and the dining room from the apartment of the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler (Geneva 1913)." "Christian Witt-Dorring, curator of decorative arts for the Neue Galerie, details the painstaking process of assembling materials for these interiors, both from an aesthetic and a practical standpoint. In the process, he reveals how a curator takes on the challenge of bringing the work of a major designer to life. The result is a publication that displays the work of Josef Hoffman as it was meant to be seen - in color and as a series of fully realized ensembles." --Book Jacket.
The Last Days of Pompeii
Destroyed yet paradoxically preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, Pompeii and other nearby sites are usually considered places where we can most directly experience the daily lives of ancient Romans. Rather than present these sites as windows to the past, however, the authors of The Last Days of Pompeii: Decadence, Apocalypse, Resurrection explore Pompeii as a modern obsession, in which the Vesuvian sites function as mirrors of the present. Through cultural appropriation and projection, outstanding visual and literary artists of the last three centuries have made the ancient catastrophe their own, expressing contemporary concerns in diverse media--from paintings, prints, an...
Sample Size Tables for Clinical Studies

A NATION OF FLAWS JUSTUS IN THE HOMELAND
There is a need for conversations on race in America on the role of Police and Law Enforcement. The Justice System is not equal and appears broken, when it comes arrests, abuse of power, Police killings, and Sentencing. In the pages of this book are stories of those who lost their lives due to police action. In a Nation of Immigrants there is an intolerance for the Natives whose land was stolen and the Africans whose Labor was stolen. However, the system functions to benefit the White Male Patriarchy it was founded on. The stories of Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, and other lesser known deaths, are contained in this work. The history of lynchings and racial intolerance are also contained in this work. It is well worth the read to the public, students, and scholars.
Straight As the Pine, Sturdy As the Oak
This richly photographed collection follows the arc of change in the peaceful Sleeping Bear Bay region in Michigan from its late 19th- and early 20th-century fishing and farming beginnings to the development of an idyllic boys camp between the 1920s and the 1960s, and eventually to its resort conversion. Organized by year, the book captures the daily life of the campers as they learn Latin, build boats, study aeronautics, grow vegetables, and raise animals; the camps history; and the development of the vacation industry that marks it today.
When Buildings Speak
The canonical inventors of International Style have long dominated studies of modern European architecture. But in this text, Anthony Alofsin broadens this scope by exploring the rich yet overlooked architecture of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire and its successor states.
Passage to the Center
Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney, author of nine collections of poetry and three volumes of influential essays, is regarded by many as the greatest Irish poet since Yeats. Passage to the Center is the most comprehensive critical treatment to date on Heaney's poetry and the first to study Heaney's body of work up to Seeing Things and The Spirit Level. It is also the first to examine the poems from the perspective of religion, one of Heaney's guiding preoccupations. According to Tobin, the growth of Heaney's poetry may be charted through the recurrent figure of "the center," a key image in the relationship that evolved over time between the poet and his inherited place, an evolution that involved the continual re-evaluation and re-vision of imaginative boundaries. In a way that previous studies have not, Tobin's work examines Heaney's poetry in the context of modernist and postmodernist concerns about the desacralizing of civilization and provides a challenging engagement with the work of a living master.
