Softcover. Zustand: Good. Rankin, Marianne (illustrator). In Zen and the Art of Anything, Hal W. French invites readers to embrace a broad definition of Zen as mindfulness--extracting the most from a given moment--and opportunity to incorporate greater appreciation and fulfillment in everyday activities. Written, designed, and illustrated to enable Zen, this book encourages opportunities for mindfulness in commonplace human actions like breathing, speaking, waking, sleeping, moving, staying, eating, drinking, working, playing, caring, loving, thriving, and surviving. French holds that, if we are mindful in our daily living and thereby practice Zen, we can elevate the most fundamental activity to an art form and find a key to a more authentic and meaningful life.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Product Description Ten Japanese artists, invited to attend seven institutions in the Carolinas, interpreted the link and disconnect between artificial and natural, and modernity and environment. Using nature and common images, the artists spent six weeks in developing their response to their city, the environment, and the world. Each work presented in this volume proposes a reverent understanding of humanity's relationship and response to its environment. Ranging from naphthalene castings to imaginary topographical landscapes to sound-based and multimedia sculptures, the artists used only natural materials to create art. Analyzing age and decay, life and rebirth, and destruction and renewal, the artists engaged with the idea of circularity and its implications for us and our world. Through in-depth descriptions and striking images, Forces of Nature provides an insightful look into the re-imagined world of these ten artists. With commentary by the project collaborators, Mark Sloan and Brad Thomas, this multiyear, multidimensional project challenges the reader to look again, to look back, and to reflect. From the Inside Flap A catalog of the innovative work of ten Japanese artists in the Southeastern United States About the Author Mark Sloan has been the director and senior curator at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston since 1994 and is the author of six books.Brad Thomas is an artist and director of the Van Every/Smith Galleries at Davidson College.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. An insightful introduction into the works of the voice of America's dispossessedUnderstanding Nelson Algren traces the career of a writer best known for his novels The Man with the Golden Arm and A Walk on the Wild Side. From Algren's first short stories through his final fiction, the posthumously published The Devil's Stocking, Brooke Horvath surveys the literary contributions of a writer known as the voice of America's dispossessed.Horvath offers an introduction to the life and work of the Chicagoan who wrote about the underclass in the Windy City and beyond, bringing to the fore their humanity and aspirations. He proposes that while it is appropriate to view Algren's work through the lenses of literary naturalism, disenchanted social critique, and (in later his works) postmodernism, Algren's ideological concerns should not eclipse his considerable stylistic achievements, including his lyricism and humor.Examining Algren's eleven major works in the contexts of the writer's life and changing literary tastes, Horvath sets Algren's evolution as a writer against the backdrop of America's shifting social, political, and economic landscape. Throughout his analysis, Horvath considers the questions that plagued Algren and that reappear in his work: Why do so many Americans fail? How do they view their own failure? How do the "successful" view those at the bottom of the economic order? And to what extent do the middle and upper classes experience failure or require salvific intervention?.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. A sociological approach to appreciating the heroism and legacy of the Gullah statesmanOn May 13, 1862, Robert Smalls (1839-1915) commandeered a Confederate warship, the Planter, from Charleston harbor and piloted the vessel to cheering seamen of the Union blockade, thus securing his place in the annals of Civil War heroics. Slave, pilot, businessman, statesman, U.S. congressman-Smalls played many roles en route to becoming an American icon, but none of his accomplishments was a solo effort. Sociologist Andrew Billingsley offers the first biography of Smalls to assess the influence of his families-black and white, past and present-on his life and enduring legend. In so doing, Billingsley creates a compelling mosaic of evolving black-white social relations in the American South as exemplified by this famous figure and his descendants.Born a slave in Beaufort, South Carolina, Robert Smalls was raised with his master's family and grew up amid an odd balance of privilege and bondage which instilled in him an understanding of and desire for freedom, culminating in his daring bid for freedom in 1862. Smalls served with distinction in the Union forces at the helm of the Planter and, after the war, he returned to Beaufort to buy the home of his former masters-a house that remained at the center of the Smalls family for a century. A founder of the South Carolina Republican Party, Smalls was elected to the state house of representatives, the state senate, and five times to the United States Congress. Throughout the trials and triumphs of his military and public service, he was surrounded by growing family of supporters. Billingsley illustrates how this support system, coupled with Smalls's dogged resilience, empowered him for success.Writing of subsequent generations of the Smalls family, Billingsley delineates the evolving patterns of opportunity, challenge, and change that have been the hallmarks of the African American experience thanks to the selfless investments in freedom and family made by Robert Smalls of South Carolina.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Examines America's creation of a national literature and its effect on higher education todayNo sooner had American independence been achieved than the New England intelligentsia set out to establish cultural independence from England through a uniquely American literature, the creation of which became a moral imperative. The architects of this new literature shared a vision about what an American writer should be: moral and educated, with an appreciation for proper art and literature and a genteel bearing and manners.Situated in mid-nineteenth-century Boston culture, Genteel Rhetoric combines history and cultural studies to examine the shaping of nineteenth-century North American rhetoric and aesthetics. The practitioners of genteel rhetoric included many of the writers who belonged to the New England school: Ralph Waldo Emerson, James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Charles Eliot Norton, and Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Harvard graduates and students of Edward T. Channing, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory from 1819 to 1851, these men were also influenced by the Unitarian rhetoric of Channing's brother, William Ellery Channing, as well as by orators such as Edward Everett. They were part of a larger North American refinement movement-a movement interrupted by the Civil War.Broaddus argues that the genteel and coherent voices with which these writers discuss literature and high culture break apart when they begin to write about material issues related to slavery, abolition, and war against the background of growing dissent between North and South. Genteel Rhetoric examines the writers as they live through and write about the Civil War-Emerson and Lowell from a safe distance, Holmes searching for his wounded son in Maryland, and Higginson in the thick of the action as colonel of the First South Carolina Volunteers, the first regiment of former slaves in the Union army.Broaddus applies her theories to modern trends by contending that although the genteel rhetoric represented by these writers eventually became irrelevant, it is now being revived in higher education throughout the country.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. Civilization, 19141917 is a largely autobiographical narrative of the Great War written by a remarkable observera French physician, poet, and novelist who treated the wounded and performed some two thousand operations in mobile hospital units during the war. First published in 1918 and translated into English the following year, the book was awarded the Prix Goncourt and a special award of the Académie Franaise. Out of print for ninety years, Georges Duhamels account is available once more in this Joseph M. Bruccoli Great War Series edition featuring a new introduction by Catharine Savage Brosman, which offers a biographical sketch of Duhamel and places his work within the context of French narratives of World War I.Duhamels book comprises sixteen vignettes in which character rather than plot remains the constant focus. Each tale is presented in the first person but with varying narrators. The settings are often field medical units just miles away from the bombardments. Here the stench of blood, plight of the wounded, and efforts of well-intentioned doctors bring to the fore the realities of war as Duhamel knew them to be. Pathos, anger, and frustration are more plentiful than any sense of glory, duty, or honor in these circumstances. In lieu of the political and nationalistic considerations of war that dominate the writings of some of his contemporaries, Duhamels narratives offer instead the historical and literary merits of his keen attention to detailsparticularly concerning combat medicineand his rich development of the varied tones, characters, and locations of his sketches. Throughout the book Duhamel pits those characters and efforts meant to preserve and mend humanity against an overarching machine age and its armored acolytes intent on human destruction. The resulting collection works to bear authoritative witness to the war on the Western Front and to extract from the authors experiences some measure of poetic truth about the nature of civilization in our modern age.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. A fresh interpretation, in text and illustrations, of Jewish life and culture in the American SouthIn the year 1800, South Carolina was home to more Jews than any other place in North America. As old as the province of Carolina itself, the Jewish presence has been a vital but little-examined element in the growth of South Carolina's cities and towns, in the economy of slavery and post-slavery society, and in the creation of American Jewish religious identity.The record of a landmark exhibition that will change the way people think about Jewish history and American history, A Portion of the People: Three Hundred Years of Southern Jewish Life presents a remarkable group of art and cultural objects and a provocative investigation of the characters and circumstances that produced them. The book and exhibition culminate a seven-year collaboration by the Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina, the McKissick Museum of the University of South Carolina, and the College of Charleston.Edited by Theodore Rosengarten and Dale Rosengarten, with original essays by Deborah Dash Moore, Jenna Weissman Joselit, Jack Bass, and Dale Rosengarten, with a preface by Eli N. Evans, A Portion of the People is an important addition to southern arts and letters. Half the exhibition's 200 objects appear here in color and black-and-white illustrations. Narrative descriptions place the objects in their historical and artistic contexts. Portraits of Jewish citizens prominent in the region's history appear side by side with artifacts that tell of immigration and settlement, adaptation and alienation, success and failure. Just as the Jews in the South tested American freedoms, liberty and tolerance tried the newcomers' adherence to their ancient religion.A photographic essay by Bill Aron, who has documented Jewish communities around the world, brings the story into the present. His South Carolina photographs reflect major developments of the past fifty years, including the legacy of the Holocaust, postwar prosperity, the challenge of the civil rights movement, and the trend toward increasing religious observance.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. More than 680 species of flora in full color, for desk or field useAdmired by plant enthusiasts, botanists, and nature lovers of all ages, wildflowers comprise one of the most beloved-and diverse-groupings of flora in South Carolina. Although relatively small in size, the Palmetto State hosts a remarkable variety of wildflower species, from the trillium and bloodroot that brighten its forests to heliotrope and common toadflax that dot the state's roadsides and fields. With color photographs (all by Richard D. Porcher) and extensive descriptions of more than 680 species, A Guide to the Wildflowers of South Carolina offers a complete and indispensable reference for finding and appreciating these natural treasures.Employing the same innovative approach Richard D. Porcher used in Wildflowers of the Carolina Lowcountry, he and Douglas A. Rayner simplify the task of identification by grouping species according to habitat. For each species identified, Porcher and Rayner include interesting facts-many of which are not widely known or readily available-about rarity, suitability for garden cultivation, and origin of common and scientific names.Of added interest, the botanists share itineraries for more than fifty wildflower expeditions and short essays on a variety of topics, including carnivorous plants, Carolina bays, native orchids, medicinal plants and folk remedies, poisonous plants, edible plants, and the role of fire in natural communities.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Understanding Eudora Welty provides close readings of Welty's novels and short stories and the memoir One Writer's Beginnings. Michael Kreyling sifts through contemporary reviews and recent criticism in arriving at his assessment. Noting that Welty's work has been before the public and in the minds of literary critics for nearly a half century, he suggests that understanding the critical history of her canon is almost as important as understanding the works themselves.Kreyling describes the New Critics' explanation of Welty's fiction, which was based on their preference for the unity of meaning in a well-made work of art. Kreyling also traces the mounting interest of feminist critics in Welty's work after the publication in 1984 of One Writer's Beginnings. He credits feminist critics with providing some of the most refreshing appraisals of her writings in more than a generation.As he considers the many assessments and reassessments of Welty's work, Kreyling uncovers and discusses the myriad identities that critics have attached to her-that of southern writer, southern gothicist, "Southern Renaissance" writer, modernist, and feminist. Questioning the sufficiency of any single label, Kreyling suggests that Welty never wrote to a formula and never wrote the same story twice. Kreyling maps the dynamic growth Welty exhibited in the depth and complexity of her vision and literary technique over the course of her career.

In one sense, it might be described as a generalized genealogy, but it also serves as an entertaining accumulation of South Carolina history, geography, religion, culture, economy, and humor."-Southern Partisan "All of this sort of thing, of course, could come off in less skilled hands as merely ponderous or pedantic. But there's a wonderful lightness of tone about the Neuffers and reading their explanations is just plain fun as well as informative. The aim of their book is to see that the traditional pronunciations of names in South Carolina will be carried on, even when they may represent several hundred years of mispronunciation."-Columbia (S.C.)

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. The impact of third-party weapons shipments to conflicts like the current one in BosniaRecent crises, including the civil war in Bosnia, have raised questions about whether the shipment of arms to war zones serves to escalate hostilities, to equalize unevenly matched foes, or to halt fighting. While previous studies have examined the relationship between arms races and the causes of war, Arms and Warfare considers the impact of arms shipments on a conflict once it has begun. In this study, Michael Brzoska and Frederic S. Pearson look closely at the complex effect weapon transfers have on the escalation or de-escalation of warfare and on the process of negotiations.Using case studies from the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, the authors pinpoint the timing of arms transfers and then assess the influence of these deliveries. Concluding that their study offers intricate, varied lessons, the authors argue that while arms transfers seldom exert much direct leverage over negotiations, the concerned parties unfailingly interpret them as political statements. In addition, Brzoska and Pearson contend that although arms transfers generally increase the bloodshed in a given conflict, large-scale resupply can substantially shorten the duration of hostilities.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Review "Rosenstock has cerated her own quirky nomenclature of experience, her own wisecracking erotics of art, by rummaging through what she calls 'the troves of culture's treasures.' She has given us a verbal universe where artists are antically associated, where the spirit sashays forth and the sidestreets of excess-filled with the wild signs and clamorous voices, imaginative roads not taken-all turn up at the palace of wisdom."-Edward Hirsch"Imagine the Divine Comedy, Goblin Market, Divine Comedies, and Brock-Broido's Hunger, then join with them Rosenstock's prismatic music, and you will have United Artists."-Cynthia Macdonald Product Description A bold, new poet to be noted, identified, and saluted with a certain hilarity, S. X. Rosenstock advises her readers to "abandon all anxiety of allusion catching" and "let the poems work their cooing, buzzing, garrulous way into your innocent ears." Compared by Richard Howard to Florine Stettheimer in terms of her pallette and her impasto, Rosenstock delights in the preposterous, the unavailing, and the not-to-be-cloned as she moves among the monuments and the ruins of society in verses that beguile the ear, leap-frog grammatical barriers, and prod Wharton and Plath into patterns subservient to her whim. All the while this talented poet challenges patriarchal codes and reveals authentic sources of pleasure. From the Back Cover A bold, new poet's vision of transformative, exuberant art, United Artists celebrates the primacy of imagination in the life well-lived. This beguiling first collection of poems by S. X. Rosenstock is an art lover's dream as well as a passionate, timely defense of the arts. With remarkable verve and grace, Rosenstock moves among the monuments and the ruins of society in comic, compassionate verses that challenge patriarchal codes and reveal authentic modes of pleasures. In fresh and provocative fashion, Rosenstock offers readers breathtakingly original encounters with the likes of Charles Baudelaire, Aubrey Beardsley, Fernando Botero, Francisco Goya, Lana Turner, Edith Wharton, John Woo, Madame Bovary's daughter, Petit Marcel's mother, and a host of others. About the Author S. X. Rosenstock writes poetry and essays in Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband and daughter. Her work has appeared in the Paris Review, the Antioch Review, and other publications.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Catholicism's impact in Northern IrelandFrom the final defeat of the Ulster chieftains at the hands of the British to the remarkable success of the Irish Republican Army's political wing in the 1983 Westminster elections, Catholicism in Ulster, 1603-1983 tells the story of the Roman Catholic community in northeast Ulster. In his comprehensive chronicle, Oliver Rafferty contends that the unique historical experience of Ulster Catholics sheds light on the sectarian roots of a crisis that has become a paradigm for religious and ethnic conflicts throughout the world.Rafferty asserts that the Northern Irish Catholic community sees itself as a community under siege-a mentality he traces to a plantation system that left Ulster as the only Irish province with a significant Protestant population. Bereft of political power and economic security, the Irish community grasped Catholicism as the only means of preserving its identity, and, according to Rafferty, this attachment gave Ulster Catholics a cohesion they retain today.

Most Americans, both black and white, believe that slavery was a system exclusively maintained by whites to exploit blacks, but Larry Koger's authoritative study portrays the small yet significant role that African Americans played as masters in the peculiar institution. By profiling South Carolina's diverse population of African-American slaveowners, he demonstrates that free African-Americans embraced slavery as a viable economic system and that they--like their white counterparts--exploited the labor of slaves on their farms and in their businesses.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Updated with a discussion of recent scholarship, Understanding Carson McCullers provides a balanced introductory study of the Georgia-born novelist's major fiction and the reasons for her extraordinary and lasting acclaim. Carson McCullers was deemed the "find of the decade" when she appeared on the literary scene at the age of twenty-three and is best remembered for her celebrated novels The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter and The Member of the Wedding. Through Virginia Spencer Carr's insightful discussion and lucid analysis of these and lesser-known works, McCullers is shown here as more than a southern writer, more than a lesbian novelist. McCullers emerges as a complex and multifaceted artist not yet fully comprehended and deserving of more contemplative study and thoughtful understanding.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Counterpoint to Trafalgar offers the first detailed account of the important land and sea campaign in the Napoleonic the Anglo-Russian invasion of Naples, which prevented Napoleon from controlling the Mediterranean during the war of the third coalition. Flayhart recounts the exciting story of the chaotic efforts of the joint British and Russian military force during the invasion of southern Italy. In 1805 Napoleonic France and Great Britain were locked in a naval duel for maritime supremacy. A British military expedition was sent to the Mediterranean to preserve the independence of Naples. Joining with a Russian Army troop nearby, the combined forces invaded southern Italy in order to place allied troops between the French in the north and Naples in the south. The two great convoys carrying more than 20,000 Russian and British troops was too great a prize for Napoleon to ignore, and the emperor ordered the French fleet to enter the Mediterranean and destroy the troopships. The ensuing battle became known as the Battle of Trafalgar.
