Painting at the Edge of the World
In Grand Canyon on the icy flanks of Mount Everest, deep in rainforests and deserts, underwater and at the mouths of live volcanoes - Tony Foster paints at the edges of the world. Presented here with accounts of his journeys, these watercolors are a testament to the power of art and the richness and fragility of our planet.
Hell on the Way to Heaven
Chrissie and Anthony Foster were like any other young family, raising their three daughters in suburban Melbourne with what they hoped were the right values. Chrissie could not have known that the stranger-danger she feared actually lurked in the presbytery attached to the girls' Catholic primary school. Father Kevin O'Donnell, a long-term paedophile, lived and worked there. Two of their young daughters became victims of O'Donnell. And once the truth was revealed, the Fosters began a battle to find out how this could have happened. The Church offered silence, lies, denials and threats. Meanwhile, their daughters tried to piece together their fractured lives. This is the chilling true story that made national and international headlines. Chrissie Foster's heartbreaking account of her family's suffering, and their determination to stand up for themselves against the might of the Catholic Church, is testament to the strength of a mother's love, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Hooked
From the 2-time Tony Award-winner and the star of TV’s Younger, funny and intimate stories and reflections about how crafting has kept her sane while navigating the highs and lows of family, love, and show business (and how it can help you, too). Whether she’s playing an “age-defying” book editor on television or dazzling audiences on the Broadway stage, Sutton Foster manages to make it all look easy. How? Crafting. From the moment she picked up a cross stitch needle to escape the bullying chorus girls in her early performing days, she was hooked. Cross stitching led to crocheting, crocheting led to collages, which led to drawing, and so much more. Channeling her emotions into her cr...

Sacred Places
Sacred Places began as a search for the meaning of place and its relationship to spirituality. Traveling throughout the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States (the area where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah meet), the wilderness artist Tony Foster sought to experience and document the area's rich blend of cultures and faiths. His time in the region, which he recorded in journals and in his paintings, shaped his understanding of the people who live there and their indelible ties to the land. Comprising works created between 2010 and 2012, Sacred Places not only depicts the beauty of the natural landscape but also represents the deep spiritual connections of the region's inhabitants through Foster's unique addition of artifacts and diary inscriptions. These souvenirs, which are included inside the paintings' frames, serve as physical reminders of his experiences interacting with both the land and its people. Through them, viewers share his struggles to overcome tribal suspicions, extreme weather conditions, loneliness, and frustration. Most importantly, Foster's work serves as an eloquent appeal for the protection of fragile wilderness areas.
The Birth of the Museum
In a series of richly detailed case studies from Britian, Australia and North America, Tony Bennett investigates how nineteenth- and twentieth-century museums, fairs and exhibitions have organized their collections, and their visitors. Discussing the historical development of museums alongside that of the fair and the international exhibition, Bennett sheds new light upon the relationship between modern forms of official and popular culture. Using Foucaltian perspectives The Birth of the Museum explores how the public museum should be understood not just as a place of instruction, but as a reformatory of manners in which a wide range of regulated social routines and performances take place. This invigorating study enriches and challenges the understanding of the museum, and places it at the centre of modern relations between culture and government. For students of museum, cultural and sociology studies, this will be an asset to their reading list.
