Dilla Time
WINNER OF THE PEN/JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHYNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "This book is a must for everyone interested in illuminating the idea of unexplainable genius." --QUESTLOVEEqual parts biography, musicology, and cultural history, Dilla Time chronicles the life and legacy of J Dilla, a musical genius who transformed the sound of popular music for the twenty-first century. He wasn't known to mainstream audiences, even though he worked with renowned acts like D'Angelo and Erykah Badu and influenced the music of superstars like Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson. He died at the age of thirty-two, and in his lifetime he never had a pop hit. Yet since his death, J Dilla has become a demigod: revered by jazz musicians and rap icons from Robert Glasper to Kendrick Lamar; memorialized in symphonies and taught at universities. And at the core of this adulation is innovation: a new kind of musical time-feel that he created on a drum machine, but one that changed the way "traditional" musicians play. In Dilla Time, Dan Charnas chronicles the life of James DeWitt Yancey, from his gifted childhood in Detroit, to his rise as a Grammy-nominated hip-hop producer, to the rare blood disease that caused his premature death; and follows the people who kept him and his ideas alive. He also rewinds the histories of American rhythms: from the birth of soul in Dilla's own "Motown," to funk, techno, and disco. Here, music is a story of Black culture in America and of what happens when human and machine times are synthesized into something new. Dilla Time is a different kind of book about music, a visual experience with graphics that build those concepts step by step for fans and novices alike, teaching us to "see" and feel rhythm in a unique and enjoyable way. Dilla's beats, startling some people with their seeming "sloppiness," were actually the work of a perfectionist almost spiritually devoted to his music. This is the story of the man and his machines, his family, friends, partners, and celebrity collaborators. Culled from more than 150 interviews about one of the most important and influential musical figures of the past hundred years, Dilla Time is a book as delightfully detail-oriented and unique as J Dilla's music itself.
Mina Perhonen: Ripples
The first large format book on the house of Mina Perhonen, one of the most profoundly Japanese of the women's lines to come out of the Tokyo in the last three decades. A unique blend of Scandinavian sensibility and Japanese, Mina Perhonen is characterized by a tenacious individuality that often contradicts the prevailing trends in Japanese high fashion with its emphasis on unmistakably feminine silhouettes and bright, minimalistic prints that have as much in common with the work of Alvar Aalto and Marimekko as they do with traditional Japanese design. This thoughtfully designed volume gathers the most iconic work outputted by the fashion house in the last twenty years, highlighting the rich and witty world of Mina Perhonen. A combination of new and archival photography as well as a collection of the illustrations showcase Minagawa's subtle approach to design while critical essays by Issey Miyake and Susan Brown offer insightful commentary about Minagawa's work.
Ed Fox II
Ed Fox thought he was the only young man who checked out a woman's feet before her face, and most of the time couldn't meet his models' eyes for fear they'd discern his secret. Then he became the official foot photographer for Leg Show magazine, and learned of the thousands of men just like him and the glorious legacy of foot fetish photographers before him, not least the great Elmer Batters.Since then, Fox has become famed the world over for his sensual photographic style that captures every curve of a woman's body, right down to the tips of her toes. In Ed Fox II he brings us voluptuous new models, arresting locations--many blending the desert landscapes of Southern California with Fox's passion for automobiles--and fantasies mild to extra spicy, all shot in warm, caressing natural light. And, like Glamour From the Ground Up, Ed Fox II comes with a 60-minute original DVD, bringing the still photos to vibrant life.This edition's special Panic Cover is reversible to a realistic-looking academic book to keep the real contents hidden from prying eyes, or even to help you impress an attractive onlooker!
Grant Castner
In July 2019, staff of the New Jersey State Museum visited a cramped and dusty storage locker in Hunterdon County. Inside was a treasure trove of more than one thousand glass plate negatives. Each negative preserved an image of New Jersey at the turn of the 20th century. They once belonged to a Trenton resident who had used the plates as tools for his chosen art form. His name was Grant Castner. His art was photography. Castner's glass plate negatives are a visual record of New Jersey's social and cultural history. His many human subjects are rich and poor, young and old, Black and white. They are at work, at play, at home, and in the community. Castner also documented social change brought about by electricity, engineering, education, industry, and transportation. He captured the excitement of public amusements such as parades and fairs. He recorded the aftermath of floods, fires and other disasters. Castner also had a fondness for the outdoors. He used his camera to reflect on the beauty and tranquility that he found in the natural landscapes of New Jersey. This book presents the collective work of Grant Castner, an amateur artist whose place in New Jersey history was, until now, completely unknown. His photographic negatives forever preserve pinpoint moments in the past. They are time machines to another era. Let this long lost archive transport you on a visual journey into a New Jersey of days gone by.

Cassandra
CASSANDRA paces for a little while, her tenuous connection with reality wavering. Could she have convinced CLYTEMNESTRA not to kill her, if she'd said the right words?

Weaving the writer's personal experience with sexual assault and abusive relationships into an ancient tale, the play takes us on an intimate journey as Cassandra struggles to tell her story before it's too late.

Riley Poole's Book Of Secrets
Riley Poole's Book of Secrets: History for National Treasure Hunters"Someone did something in history and had fun. Great. Wonderful."This is how National Treasure (2004) fan-favorite character Riley Poole feels about oft-repeated stories of the distant past: dismissive and uninspired. Poole clearly gravitates toward lesser-known tales from history-the kind typically missing from high school classrooms.In this book, franchise expert Aubrey Paris explores historical mysteries capable of piquing the interest of Poole and his fellow enthusiasts of myths that could be true. Paris pairs well-publicized tales (Roanoke colony, Salem witches) with lesser-known events (Mecklenburg Declaration, Blair House) and surprising real-world topics plucked straight from the films' scripts (Templar treasure, president's book), offering the latest historical interpretations while examining myriad questions that inevitably remain. The resulting unofficial, unauthorized National Treasure history book will capture the imaginations of even the most skeptical students of the past-including Riley Poole himself-while inviting an enticing thought: How might Poole's niche knowledge of the unexplained contribute to National Treasure's future storylines?Aubrey R. Paris, PhD, is the cofounder and cocreator of National Treasure Hunt, the podcast, book, and tour offering an interdisciplinary analysis of the National Treasure film franchise. Her cast and creative team interviews have broken National Treasure news that has been covered by global media outlets, and she has engaged live audiences at venues ranging from the US National Archives to the Library of Congress and more.

Five Footnotes Toward an Architecture
Architect Mark Lee presents a body of work on the basis of five considerations: on history, on cadence, on autonomy, on America, and on point. On the occasion of his fifth and final year as Chair of the Department of Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, architect and educator Mark Lee strings together five "footnotes"--on history, on cadence, on autonomy, on America, and on point--to assess the relationship between architectural education, research, and professional practice. Evoking a similar position that marked his tenure, Lee delivers a lecture that embraces dialogue, context, and precedent, and rejects the notion of a heroic manifesto in favor of the footnote: "something ancillary, something used for referencing and providing citations for metanarratives that already exist." And why five? "It's a ubiquitous number in the culture of architecture. Five orders, five architects, five points." Copublished by Harvard Design Press

Our Own Miracle
Rosa Flores relives her long struggle for a child on her way to the delivery room in a Los Angeles hospital, having already decided to sacrifice her own life for her unborn baby. Inspired by a true story, this is the journey of a Mexican American woman born and raised in Los Angeles, a teacher and artist in her thirties who dreams of building a loving family. After a painful breakup that affects both her personal life and her work as a kindergarten teacher, Rosa meets Luke Anderson, a lawyer, at a family gathering. Their connection is immediate, and they build a happy marriage that lasts more than a decade. But their dream of becoming parents slowly turns into a relentless battle. Despite consulting leading doctors, enduring repeated miscarriages, isolation, and eventual financial strain, they are told that Rosa cannot have children. Denial, anger, depression, and grief begin to erode the stability of their marriage and shake the foundations of their faith.As time runs out, Rosa and Luke take one final risk and place their hopes in an old friend who is now a fertility doctor. Against the odds, in-vitro fertilization succeeds, and Rosa becomes pregnant with a baby boy. Yet hardship does not ease. Their parents fall ill, and Rosa's deeply religious mother attempts suicide, further destabilising their sense of belief and purpose. On the way to the delivery room, Rosa is prepared to give her life to save her child, while her doctor faces a devastating professional dilemma over who can be saved. Rosa survives the birth, but the baby is discovered to have a potentially severe heart condition and is placed on life support. Almost simultaneously, Rosa is diagnosed with leukemia and is unable to see or hold her son. Powerless in the face of both their lives hanging in the balance, Luke is shattered. Forced to confront mortality, marriage, and motherhood in their rawest form, Rosa begins to reassess her relationship with herself and with life. She chooses to fight, agreeing to aggressive chemotherapy in the hope of survival.

Free and Easy Wandering Exhibit Catalog
Free and Easy Wandering: Markings On The Way is an exhibit catalog of seventeen abstract paintings with text which conveys an epic journey of psycho-physical and cosmic self-discovery that begins in isolation and fragmentation and ends in nondual wholeness. Undertaken in three phases: autonomy, aloneness, and detachment, the journey unfolds in twelve stages called Markings that reveal the characteristic workings of the wanderer grappling with impermanence, identity, belonging and homecoming in a changing landscape of uncontrollable force. Ultimately, the wanderer permeates the entire time of the landscape as his home and marks it orientationally so that anyone who wishes to find their way as time can do so with creative, noetic, kinetic and sensate elemental knowing.
What We Did Not Touch Still Burned
What We Did Not Touch Still Burned is a quiet, aching literary novel about desire, restraint, and the invisible moments that change us more than any action ever could. When two strangers meet and recognize something unsettlingly familiar in each other, they form a connection built not on touch, but on attention, honesty, and the dangerous intimacy of being seen. Bound by circumstance, morality, and timing, they circle one another in conversations heavy with meaning, always stopping just before the line that would undo them both.As longing deepens and secrets surface, each must confront who they are when no one is watching - and who they might become if they allow themselves to want too much. This is a story about emotional fidelity, quiet courage, and the cost of choosing safety over fire. It asks what it means to honor desire without surrendering to it, and how some loves exist not to be lived, but to be survived.
A Doll's House, Men of Honour, When We Dead Awaken
'Oh, be not afraid. I am cast out of society, but you, is it not true, you walk around as a man of honour? What more do you want?' (Laura Kieler, Men of Honour) Very few readers and audiences know that Ibsen's iconic feminist drama A Doll's House was built upon the real-life story of a woman called Laura Kieler, who was his friend and fellow writer. Her life fell apart when A Doll's House came out and the world saw her deeply private life splashed across its stages. With tremendous determination and perseverance, she managed to recover from the trauma that Ibsen's play caused her, and channelled her pain into a successful play of her own called (pointedly) Men of Honour. The play, performed in Copenhagen in 1890, caused great debate and fierce controversy. Ibsen eventually responded to her play by likewise writing a drama: When We Dead Awaken, his final work. This new edition traces the conversation between Ibsen and Kieler through these plays, across almost two decades and brings Kieler centre stage, and deepens our understanding of Ibsen's A Doll's House and When We Dead Awaken. These three plays create a fascinating whole: a fusion of vantage points, contexts, and visions still reverberating on and off stage today. Furthermore, the two Ibsen plays speak to each other in startling and fresh ways. This volume also explores 21st century concerns about consent and the many ways in which women in particular are still not heard. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Willem de Kooning: Endless Painting
Published on the occasion of Willem de Kooning: Endless Painting, 555 West 24th St, New York, an exhibition organized with the support of the Willem de Kooning Foundation and curated by Cecilia Alemani, Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Director & Chief Curator of High Line Art. The book documents paintings by the artist dating from 1944 through 1986 and two sculptures, with a dedicated plates section featuring the works in the exhibition, installation shots, and contextual images of the artist. Endless Painting is the sixth solo exhibition of de Kooning's work presented by Gagosian, with the first organized in 1987. A pioneering figure of the postwar era, de Kooning probed the expressive potential of color, line, and space and continuously challenged the boundaries between figuration and abstraction. Through the considered placement of late paintings the exhibition foregrounds visual motifs that recurred throughout de Kooning's career. This approach reflects Alemani's close investigation of paintings from the 1980s in which she identified an expansive repertoire of human forms--elbows, knees, mouths, eyes--that can be traced as far back as the artist's works of the 1930s and 1940s that drew on Cubism and Surrealism. De Kooning often reworked canvases, reincorporating passages from earlier compositions by tracing shapes he wanted to preserve onto vellum, and even changing their orientation multiple times during the painting's gestation. It was through revisiting and revising his compositions that he developed a consistent but flexible vocabulary of color and gesture rooted in figuration. "A restless explorer of the canvas, de Kooning never stopped interrogating the possibilities of what painting could be," Alemani notes. The exhibition's title, Endless Painting, references this enduring, ever-evolving visual language and the artist's professed decision to "just stop" rather than formally finish paintings. Alemani and John Elderfield explore these concepts in the book and expand on the many possible interpretations of de Kooning's work.

Duchamp-Isms
A collection of provocative quotations from one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century Duchamp-isms is a selection of illuminating quotations from Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), one of the most important figures in the history of modern art. A painter, sculptor, writer, and chess player, Duchamp changed the very definition of art with his "readymades"--everyday objects such as a bicycle wheel or bottle rack that he titled, signed, and presented as art. He provoked critics and the public with works such as the Cubist-Futurist painting Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 (1912) and Fountain (1917), a readymade composed of a men's urinal signed "R. Mutt." Prizing the intellectual over the aesthetic, Duchamp inspired later movements like Minimalism, Conceptualism, and Pop Art. Delightful and witty, Duchamp-isms offers rich insights into the mind of a true icon of modern art. The quotes in Duchamp-isms, drawn primarily from interviews, have been selected and introduced by Francis Naumann, a leading authority on Duchamp, and organized in eight thematic sections: philosophies of art; painting; Dada and Surrealism; the readymades; chess; literary influences; commercialism in art; and philosophies of life and death. The book also features a brief chronology of Duchamp's life and career."I have always had a horror of being a 'professional' painter. The minute you become that, you are lost.""Humor and laughter--not necessarily derogatory derision--are my pet tools. This may come from my general philosophy of never taking the world too seriously--for fear of dying of boredom.""Art can never be adequately defined, because the translation of an aesthetic emotion into a verbal description is as inaccurate as your description of fear when you have been actually scared.""Art never saved the world. It cannot."
The Actor's Algorithm
Confusion in acting is often perpetuated by the abstract language and metaphors commonly used by actors and instructors. Moreover, the behavioral models taught in acting schools are outdated, leaving many seeking a practical, modern alternative. In "The Actor's Algorithm," author David Ihrig introduces groundbreaking insights from brain science, explaining how the brain and central nervous system influence every thought, movement, emotion, and behavior in both life and art. Despite their importance, these mechanisms are rarely taught to dramatic artists, who are often left navigating their skills and creativity without a clear understanding of the underlying processes. This book presents a revolutionary system of acting that leverages natural brain functions to produce genuine behavior on stage and screen. Ihrig guides readers through a scientific framework for human behavior, distilled into seven actionable steps to fully embody any character. You will learn how to: - Harness your imagination more effectively, - Personify each character's perspective by creating detailed memories, - Discuss and engage with your craft confidently, ensuring a robust foundation in your acting skills. "The Actor's Algorithm" offers a tangible, step-by-step approach that demystifies acting skills and equips actors with contemporary, scientifically-informed techniques for authentic performances.
Wanted
From a surreal musical satire featuring much-loved American rogues like Billy The Kid and Ma Barker to a bitter takedown of the Iraq War and its toll on one family, these four plays by David Epstein expose painful home truths about our nation's soul."There is a fine, lovely and lyric madness at the Cherry Lane Theater. It is called Wanted, it is by David Epstein and Al Carmines, and, at last, it restores the art of the musical to the Off-Broadway theater. This is a musical that is new, engrossing and has a surging vitality that takes all before it. . . . . It's that rare thing, a show that is as funny as it is provocative. I recommend it wholeheartedly."-Clive Barnes, New York Times"Myth becomes cartoon, cartoon myth. . . . Wanted doesn't lecture anybody, though. It is content to reflect a rooty‐toot-toot gaiety we, as a people, seem actually to feel-reflected in gags and high kicks and pin‐spots and drum‐rolls."-Walter Kerr, New York Times"Rousing theatre!"-Douglas Watt, The Daily News
Amazing Churches
Every great church makes a statement, and it is seldom simply theological. An offering of thanks to a beloved minister, a monument to a powerful ruler, a colonialist vaunt - a church is never really just a church. Ornate or spartan, immense or intimate, from the Middle East and across Europe, from Alaska to Argentina, Asia to Africa, the construction of churches has given the world some of its most beautiful buildings - its most splendid interiors, its most atmospheric spaces, an inspiration not just to Christians but to humankind. Including Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, Coptic, Lutheran, Baptist, Calvinist, Pentecostal and Mormon places of worship, Amazing Churches features early basilicas and magnificent medieval cathedrals, mud-hut churches and soaring 21st century edifices. In exploring these sacred places, Michael Kerrigan reveals not just the different approaches to faith across continents and over centuries, but gives us a glimpse into a wider history of the world touched by Christianity. Illustrated with more than 190 photographs, Amazing Churches includes more than 150 chapels, basilicas and cathedrals dating from the Middle Ages to the present day.
