William D. Berry
An exquisitely lovely book compiled by Berry's widow and covering work done during his first three years in Alaska. Here are hundreds of pencil studies (Berry's most confident medium) with his detailed notes on form, color, behavior. Most of this period was around Mt. McKinley with some drawings of marine life. Some 50 pages are color sketches. The bulk of the drawings carry Berry's detailed observations in legible block letters. A splendid book of natural history and art. If it meets with the success it deserves, we can hope to see further volumes. 11x9 Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Drawing the Human Form
Focused specifically on drawing methods - rather than stylistic preferences - this text/workbook presents drawing methods in the form of exercises - describing and illustrating each method in terms of student practice, drawing theory, and art historical precedent.
Prisoner of the Rising Sun
Hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces launched a devastating attack on U.S. troops in the Philippines. In May 1942, after months of battle with no reinforcements and no hope of victory, the remaining American forces, holed up on the tiny island of Corregidor, suffered a humiliating defeat, and 11,000 fighting men became prisoners of war in the largest American capitulation since Appomattox. Those lucky enough to survive the brutal conditions of their captivity remained imprisoned until General MacArthur returned to the Philippines in 1945.

William Berry Hartsfield
From the time he became mayor in 1937 until he retired in 1961, William Hartsfield dedicated himself to the problems and promise of the city of Atlanta. In the twenty-five years he served as mayor, Atlanta grew from a depression-haunted city to the third most populous capital city in the nation, as well as the leading cultural, commercial, and financial center of the south. During his administration, potentially explosive race relations and controversial annexation issues were handled, laying the foundation for modern Atlanta. Published in 1978, Harold H. Martin's biography is a chronicle of how Hartsfield strove to fulfill the destiny of Atlanta, and in doing so, left his mark on the city forever.
All that Makes a Man
As the realities of the war became apparent, however, the letters and diaries turned from idealized themes of honor and country to solemn reflections on love and home."--Jacket.
