Robert Clifton Weaver and the American City
From his role as Franklin Roosevelt’s “negro advisor” to his appointment under Lyndon Johnson as the first secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Robert Clifton Weaver was one of the most influential domestic policy makers and civil rights advocates of the twentieth century. This volume, the first biography of the first African American to hold a cabinet position in the federal government, rescues from obscurity the story of a man whose legacy continues to affect American race relations and the cities in which they largely play out. Tracing Weaver’s career through the creation, expansion, and contraction of New Deal liberalism, Wendell E. Pritchett illuminates his instrumental r...
On-the-spot Drawing
Interviews with twelve contemporary American illustrators and analyses of their techniques and approaches are accompanied by examples of their work, with personal comments.
Robert Weaver
In the 1960s and 70s, Robert Weaver (1924-1994) was among the most widely published American illustrators of his time: "He has touched more artists in the fine and applied disciplines that can be counted," wrote Steven Heller. By the late 70s, Weaver was devising artist's books, none of which--until now--have seen print. A Pedestrian View consists of 53 gouaches, with accompanying captions on the subject of flying in dreams.

Harvest
When a human skull is found in the woods in a small town in northern England, a local sergeant, a writer, and a psychic's daughter get pulled into a crime that's as dark as the surrounding moor. Some cases aren't meant to be solved. Some secrets aren't meant to be revealed. Some lives aren't meant to be. This is where the witches were hanged. This is Lancashire - land of abbeys and warriors and witchcraft. Set during the three months of autumn, Harvest follows the intrepid lives of residents of Barrow Fells while a local sergeant helps with a murder investigation. Sometimes it's a story about love and hate and all the bits in between. By the end of this harvest season, nothing will be the same again.
As for Sinclair Ross
Sinclair Ross (1908-1996), best known for his canonical novel As for Me and My House (1941), and for such familiar short stories as "The Lamp at Noon" and "The Painted Door," is an elusive figure in Canadian literature. A master at portraying the hardships and harsh beauty of the Prairies during the Great Depression, Ross nevertheless received only modest attention from the public during his lifetime. His reluctance to give readings or interviews further contributed to this faint public perception of the man. In As for Sinclair Ross, David Stouck tells the story of a lonely childhood in rural Saskatchewan, of a long and unrewarding career in a bank, and of many failed attempts to be publishe...
