My Life in Politics
This first in-depth publication of photographer Tim Davis's work dissects the disenchantment and dissociation that have come to dominate American civil life. It is Davis's treatise on the state of contemporary politics, politics as an aestheticized banality abstracted from real issues of power. He finds freedom of expression exhibited at its most casual and cursory, with political, commercial and populist signage jostling for space and attention in the social landscape: His documentation of that landscape, as Peter Eeley of Friezemagazine interprets it, asks, "What if campaign signs, badges, bumper stickers and flags aren't simply the ephemera of Americans' political lives, but their substance as well?" My Life in Politicsrepresents photographic seeing at its finest and most subtle. Davis continues Stephen Shore's colorist tradition, meshing the careful management of a quotidian palette with an incisive eye for those points at which light bends and refracts, becoming something other than mere illumination.
Direct Methods for Sparse Linear Systems
The sparse backslash book. Everything you wanted to know but never dared to ask about modern direct linear solvers. Chen Greif, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of British Columbia.Overall, the book is magnificent. It fills a long-felt need for an accessible textbook on modern sparse direct methods. Its choice of scope is excellent John Gilbert, Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of California, Santa Barbara.Computational scientists often encounter problems requiring the solution of sparse systems of linear equations. Attacking these problems efficiently requires an in-depth knowledge of the underlying theory, algorithms, and data structures ...
Tim Davis: I'm Looking Through You (Signed Edition)
I'm Looking Through You is an expansive visual poem celebrating the glamorous surface of Los Angeles and its reach. Animating Tim Davis's wry observations and the mesmerizing, color-pop geometry of his images is the photographer and writer's decades long, gimlet-eyed meditation on making pictures. As Davis states, "The camera is a machine that sees only surfaces. The world casts its spell, and the camera gobbles up its glamour, uncritically, with pure certainty, assuming there is nothing underneath." Davis's keenly observational images, interspersed with a selection of his writings on the medium--the joys and pitfalls of camera seeing--solidify I'm Looking Through You as an unabashed celebration of photography.
American Whatever
Poetry. "Tim Davis's idea factory is open 24-7, tossing out paint chips in whatever colour you want, as long as it's frosted cocktail cherry. Like Andy Kaufman slapping Ron Silliman in one of Joe Brainard's "Nancy" cartoons. Is hair tonic really 40% proof? Only your bartender knows for sure" - Miles Champion. "This AMERICAN WHATEVER is the shrapnel of life in sui generous sentences" - Brian Kim Stephens.

The Eagle and the Tiger
Bill Fleming's first day with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam was a memorable one. The deceptive, crooked path that led him to today began a few months back. Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, nineteen-year old Fleming was a professional baseball pitcher with the Chicago White Sox. His successful first year in the minor leagues was waylaid when he received his draft notice. Through a series of misadventures, he ended up enlisting for four years in an elite unit called the A.S.A. or Army Security Agency; the army's equivalent to the N.S.A. or the National Security Agency. Once in the army, Fleming learned that the recruiter had manipulated him with a host of untruths. Then, to his ...
