A Five-String Banjo Sourcebook
Historically, as bearer and mixer of ancient African and European musical traditions, the banjo is an important musical instrument. A Five-String Banjo Sourcebook will stand beside Banjo Attitudes (Paris, L'Harmattan, 2015), its companion book. Since its importation to the US by African Slaves and the inception of an "American version" by Euro-American musicians during the 19th century, the five-string banjo became America's instrument; and if its controversial history covers all the aspects of the American musical life, it also reflects its social and political context. Anyone interested in playing the banjo, or involved in doing historical or musical research on the instrument, will be confronted by the huge amount of documentation published on the subject. The numerous references listed in A Five-String Banjo Sourcebook, try to cover all facets of the instrument, from the banjo manufacturers and workshops to the stage... We hope that these pages will help the users of this compilation to understand all the subtilties of a fascinating musical instrument.

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.

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.

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. As mother and child face their most fragile moment, the question remains: will they survive this final battle, and will life allow them the happiness they have fought so hard to claim?

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.
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.

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.
