Melbourne : Macmillan, 2003. Octavo, boards in dustjacket, pp. 287, 30 unnumbered leaves of plates, a fine copy, as new. Anne Marsh's treatise on the art of photography traces its theoretical underpinning from the early debates between the rationalists and the fantasists, through psychoanalytical interpretations, to the theatre of desire. She investigates the role of photography in ghostly performances', the masking of desire' and high camp aesthetics' - through to performance art' and the role of the photographer as a gender terrorist' - as in the work of Del LaGrace Volcano. The study concludes with notable examples of postmodern photography as they have occurred in the Australian context. This ground-breaking work by a leading Monash University academic will interest all students of photography and followers of recent trends in art and art theory. Includes reproductions of works by Leah King-Smith, Gordon Bennett, Tracey Moffatt, Linda Sproul, Pat Brassington, Jill Orr, Mike Parr, Polixeni Papapetrou, Joel Peter Witkin, Man Ray, Hans Bellmer, Julia Margaret Cameron, J.

Continues: Both Sides of the Ocean. "This Second Volume of the life of Henry Adams tells a rounded story of a man, a marriage, the epic history he wrote, and the covert role he played in the politics of late nineteenth-century America. Based on new evidence - unpublished, unrecognized, or misinterpreted letters and writings of Adams, and information from people who knew him personally - it gives a startlingly different picture and an unexpectedly new experience of Adams's life. This book, a continuation of volume one, Both Sides of the Ocean: A Biography of Henry Adams, His First Life, 1838-1862, follows Henry into his matured years - first as a Harvard professor, later as a writer and behind-the-scenes Washington power. With his marriage to Marian (Clover) Hooper in 1872, his story becomes the biography of a remarkable union, shattered by Clover's suicide in 1885. Mr. Chalfant documents a respectful and tender partnership that strengthened Adams and enabled him to continue his work in spite of the devastation of his wife's death. This is also a book about Adams's History of the United States: its conception and growth; how it came to be published; what it says that is important and new; and how it consciously draws on earlier epics - Homer's Iliad and Milton's Paradise Lost - in creating an American mythology. Mr. Chalfant is also the first to disclose and delve into Henry Adams's secret actions as diplomat, politician, interceder in presidential elections (from 1868 to 1884), discoverer of the full nature of the gold conspiracy of 1869 with its attendant impeachable offenses and murder, and successful opponent of a putative Blaine administration. The extraordinary scope of this book takes in a whole world - not only of national politics and diplomacy, but also finance, invention, literature, history, science, art, architecture, travel, and exploration. New perspectives on Napoleon, Albert Gallatin, J.Q. Adams, Karl Marx, Jay Gould, Ulysses and Julia Grant, Congressman Garfield, architect H.H. Richardson, as well as Henry's friends John Hay, Clarence King, and Elizabeth Cameron, among others, filter through the rich fabric of Adams's life and times."- Publisher.

"Simply Brilliant presents 120 pieces by 50 leading makers of jewelry in the 1960s and '70s, drawn from the Klosterman collection in Cincinnati. Most, if not all, of the individual makers of this era thought of themselves as artists first, jewelers second, and this magnificent new volume is full of stunning one of a kind pieces which reflect the inventive, ground-breaking attitudes of the era. The book explores the 1961 Goldsmiths Hall exhibition in London and its influence on contemporary jewelry designers such as John Donald, Arthur King, Andrew Grima and Gilbert Albert. The 1961 exhibition brought a new direction in jewelry design to the fore, influencing others--including the major jewelry houses such as Cartier, Bulgari, Chopard and Van Cleef and Arpels--paving the way for an international movement in fashion and design. These jewelry designers created unique pieces, often for individual clients, using non-traditional materials and unusual forms. In association with the Cincinnati Art Museum " - Publisher.

Galleher was the niece of Thompson, conducted her own detailed investigation in 1967 and for years afterwards, corresponded with numerous key actors in the case, and became part of the story. She had in-depth knowledge of Thompson and of the case. Jim Thompson, whose family is from Rehoboth, died mysteriously in Southeast Asia in the 1970s. Jim Thompson or James Harrison Wilson Thompson was born in Greenville, Delaware in 1906. He attended public schools in Wilmington, went on to boarding school at St. Paul's and attended Princeton University, the family university, from 1924 to 1928. Although Thompson had a keen interest in art, he chose to become an architect and went on to study architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. He was a practicing architect in New York City until 1940. With the escalation of the war in Europe in the early 1940s, Thompson volunteered for service in the United States Army, an important turning point in his life. During the Second World War, Thompson was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a move which offered him an opportunity to see more of the world. Thompson as a member of an OSS group was assigned to work with French forces in North Africa. His assignments also took him into Italy, France and Asia. To prepare for his mission, Thompson undertook rigorous training in jungle survival. He completed the course successfully. However the war ended abruptly as Thompson and the other OSS men were en route to Bangkok. A few weeks later, he assumed the duties of OSS station chief. In late 1946, he received orders to return to the States to receive his military discharge. Thompson was confident that with peace restored and the expansion of air travel, there would be a significant increase in leisure travel to the Far East. Upon their arrival in the capital, these travelers would need acceptable accommodation. Few hotels in Bangkok could then even be considered of international standard. Only one had an ideal location -- the old Oriental, a former palace overlooking the Chao Phraya River that flowed through the capital. It was a meeting place for travelers and a social center for the foreign community. Charlie Chaplin, Noel Coward and Somerset Maugham were just a few of its famous patrons. Excited by the prospects presented, Thompson became actively involved in the reorganization of the Oriental Hotel. By this time, Thompson had developed a certain fondness for the country and its people. He began to seriously contemplate settling down and going into business in Thailand. He foresaw a promising future for the country and wanted to be a part of this process. He decided that upon leaving the service, he would return and take up residence in Thailand permanently. With his artistic inclination, Thompson instantly found the remarkable beauty and extraordinary qualities of Thai silk, both fascinating and alluring. Traditionally the production of raw silk provided a supplemental source of income for many families in the northeast, most of whom were farmers. The raw silk was sent to Bangkok to supply weavers in the capital but by 1946, the hand weaving of Thai silk had become an ailing cottage industry. The use of silk was reserved for special or ceremonial occasions and so the demand for silk was small to start with. Traditional silk weaving process is a slow and laborious process with the silk being used to make the traditional Thai style of dress. Despite its rich color, silk faded quickly with repeated washing as natural vegetable dyes were used in the dyeing process. With the advent of industrialization in the early twentieth century, ever rising demand for cheaper machine-made textiles from factories in Europe and Japan, dealt a devastating blow to traditional silk weaving. Families continued to weave silk but it was predominantly for their own use and little attention was paid to its quality. Even fewer families engaged in silk weaving, its further decline seemed inevitable and irreversible. In spite of such a daunting scenario, Thompson was confident that the brilliance, and distinctive qualities of Thai silk would draw significant interest overseas. To assess this potential, he had several lengths of silk in a range of colors woven to his specifications and set off in 1947 for New York to see if he could successfully market the silk and source sophisticated buyers for his extraordinary merchandise. Throughout his endeavor, Thompson stood by one guiding principle. Whatever he was to accomplish in Thailand must benefit the people of Thailand. He chose to involve the local Thais and insisted that most, if not all, of the profits generated by the business -- the result of their own skills -- had to be returned to the people. In Thompson's view, the real measure of the success of the Thai silk industry was not in the profits generated by the Thai Silk Company he established but by the number of rival companies. In 1962, in recognition of his contribution to Thailand, the Royal Thai government awarded Thompson The Order of the White Elephant. By the time of his disappearance in 1967, there were over one hundred companies competing for a share of the Thai silk business. Today, the Thai silk industry provides employment for approximately 20,000 weaving families., Martha Galleher, 2007, 2.75, Washington, DC: American Academy of Achievement, 1998.

Cover title "1998 Banquet of the Golden Plate, American Academy of Achievement". Secretary of Energy Steven Chu was among the 1998 Captains of Achievement, recipients of the Golden Plate award as "representatives of the many who excel: in the great walks of life. The Achievement Summit was held May 20-24, 1998 in Jackson Hole, WYoming. From Wikipedia: "The Academy of Achievement is a United States-based non-profit organization that aims to bring high profile, successful people from various fields together with "young achievers" to inspire them to succeed. The Academy was founded in 1961 by Hy Peskin (who later changed his name to Brian Blaine Reynolds), and is now run by his son, Wayne Reynolds. The organization is based in Washington, D.C. The organization presents its annual "Golden Plate" award to high achieving individuals. Notable recipients of the award include Barack Obama, Jonas Salk, Wole Soyinka, Ronald Reagan, Maya Angelou, Desmond Tutu and Steve Jobs....The International Achievement Summit was first hosted in 1961. The meeting was originally called the annual "Salute to Excellence" and was later renamed the "Annual Achievement Summit". This annual meeting gives exceptional graduate students the opportunity to interact one-on-one with Nobel Prize-winners in the arts and sciences, public servants, prize-winning journalists, explorers, humanitarians, financiers, athletes, and entertainers. The Academy invites leaders in these categories to attend the Summit and address the students at a series of symposiums and roundtable discussions. The Academy also organizes dinners and other social events where the students are able to meet with honorees or to listen to them speak on various topics. Approximately 30 previous awardees and 20 new ones interact with 200 domestic and international graduate students in an informal setting over the course of four days. The summit ends with a formal dinner where that year's honorees are officially presented with their awards and inducted into the Academy....Until 1999, the meeting was held in a different U.S. city each year. In 1999, the event became the "International Achievement Summit", when the Academy held its first international meeting in Budapest, Hungary. Subsequent Summits have been held in London, England (2000), Dublin, Ireland (2002), Washington, D.C. (2003), ] Chicago, Illinois New York City (2005), Los Angeles, California (2006), Washington, D.C. (2007), Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (2008), Cape Town and Singita Sabi Sand Game Reserve, South Africa (2009), Washington, D.C. (2010), and Washington D.C. (2012). The "Golden Plate" is the Academy of Achievement's official award, which is presented to honorees at the end of its annual Summit. The Academy s Golden Plate Awards Council annually reviews a broad spectrum of candidates for invitation to the Summit. From this list, the council, composed of past "Golden Plate" honorees of the Academy, selects the 20 new awardees. Award recipients are selected for significant achievement in their fields. The Academy has presented awards to over 1, 000 honorees, who have included Nobel Prize winners, presidents, scientists, athletes, authors and entertainers. Notable awardees include Muhammad Ali, Steven Spielberg, Clare Boothe Luce, Willie Mays, Rosa Parks, Elie Wiesel, Jimmy Carter, Bill Gates, Coretta Scott King, Bob Dylan and Desmond Tutu. ] Steve Jobs received the award in 1982, when he was 26, and in his speech to students attending the summit advised that they travel and get to know Zen Buddhists.", American Academy of Achievement, 1998, 3, Los Angeles: DreamWorks Pictures, 2001.

Melbourne : Macmillan, 2003. Octavo, boards in dustjacket, pp. 287, 30 unnumbered leaves of plates, a fine copy, as new. Anne Marsh's treatise on the art of photography traces its theoretical underpinning from the early debates between the rationalists and the fantasists, through psychoanalytical interpretations, to the theatre of desire. She investigates the role of photography in ghostly performances', the masking of desire' and high camp aesthetics' - through to performance art' and the role of the photographer as a gender terrorist' - as in the work of Del LaGrace Volcano. The study concludes with notable examples of postmodern photography as they have occurred in the Australian context. This ground-breaking work by a leading Monash University academic will interest all students of photography and followers of recent trends in art and art theory. Includes reproductions of works by Leah King-Smith, Gordon Bennett, Tracey Moffatt, Linda Sproul, Pat Brassington, Jill Orr, Mike Parr, Polixeni Papapetrou, Joel Peter Witkin, Man Ray, Hans Bellmer, Julia Margaret Cameron, J.

Continues: Both Sides of the Ocean. "This Second Volume of the life of Henry Adams tells a rounded story of a man, a marriage, the epic history he wrote, and the covert role he played in the politics of late nineteenth-century America. Based on new evidence - unpublished, unrecognized, or misinterpreted letters and writings of Adams, and information from people who knew him personally - it gives a startlingly different picture and an unexpectedly new experience of Adams's life. This book, a continuation of volume one, Both Sides of the Ocean: A Biography of Henry Adams, His First Life, 1838-1862, follows Henry into his matured years - first as a Harvard professor, later as a writer and behind-the-scenes Washington power. With his marriage to Marian (Clover) Hooper in 1872, his story becomes the biography of a remarkable union, shattered by Clover's suicide in 1885. Mr. Chalfant documents a respectful and tender partnership that strengthened Adams and enabled him to continue his work in spite of the devastation of his wife's death. This is also a book about Adams's History of the United States: its conception and growth; how it came to be published; what it says that is important and new; and how it consciously draws on earlier epics - Homer's Iliad and Milton's Paradise Lost - in creating an American mythology. Mr. Chalfant is also the first to disclose and delve into Henry Adams's secret actions as diplomat, politician, interceder in presidential elections (from 1868 to 1884), discoverer of the full nature of the gold conspiracy of 1869 with its attendant impeachable offenses and murder, and successful opponent of a putative Blaine administration. The extraordinary scope of this book takes in a whole world - not only of national politics and diplomacy, but also finance, invention, literature, history, science, art, architecture, travel, and exploration. New perspectives on Napoleon, Albert Gallatin, J.Q. Adams, Karl Marx, Jay Gould, Ulysses and Julia Grant, Congressman Garfield, architect H.H. Richardson, as well as Henry's friends John Hay, Clarence King, and Elizabeth Cameron, among others, filter through the rich fabric of Adams's life and times."- Publisher.

"Simply Brilliant presents 120 pieces by 50 leading makers of jewelry in the 1960s and '70s, drawn from the Klosterman collection in Cincinnati. Most, if not all, of the individual makers of this era thought of themselves as artists first, jewelers second, and this magnificent new volume is full of stunning one of a kind pieces which reflect the inventive, ground-breaking attitudes of the era. The book explores the 1961 Goldsmiths Hall exhibition in London and its influence on contemporary jewelry designers such as John Donald, Arthur King, Andrew Grima and Gilbert Albert. The 1961 exhibition brought a new direction in jewelry design to the fore, influencing others--including the major jewelry houses such as Cartier, Bulgari, Chopard and Van Cleef and Arpels--paving the way for an international movement in fashion and design. These jewelry designers created unique pieces, often for individual clients, using non-traditional materials and unusual forms. In association with the Cincinnati Art Museum " - Publisher.

Galleher was the niece of Thompson, conducted her own detailed investigation in 1967 and for years afterwards, corresponded with numerous key actors in the case, and became part of the story. She had in-depth knowledge of Thompson and of the case. Jim Thompson, whose family is from Rehoboth, died mysteriously in Southeast Asia in the 1970s. Jim Thompson or James Harrison Wilson Thompson was born in Greenville, Delaware in 1906. He attended public schools in Wilmington, went on to boarding school at St. Paul's and attended Princeton University, the family university, from 1924 to 1928. Although Thompson had a keen interest in art, he chose to become an architect and went on to study architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. He was a practicing architect in New York City until 1940. With the escalation of the war in Europe in the early 1940s, Thompson volunteered for service in the United States Army, an important turning point in his life. During the Second World War, Thompson was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a move which offered him an opportunity to see more of the world. Thompson as a member of an OSS group was assigned to work with French forces in North Africa. His assignments also took him into Italy, France and Asia. To prepare for his mission, Thompson undertook rigorous training in jungle survival. He completed the course successfully. However the war ended abruptly as Thompson and the other OSS men were en route to Bangkok. A few weeks later, he assumed the duties of OSS station chief. In late 1946, he received orders to return to the States to receive his military discharge. Thompson was confident that with peace restored and the expansion of air travel, there would be a significant increase in leisure travel to the Far East. Upon their arrival in the capital, these travelers would need acceptable accommodation. Few hotels in Bangkok could then even be considered of international standard. Only one had an ideal location -- the old Oriental, a former palace overlooking the Chao Phraya River that flowed through the capital. It was a meeting place for travelers and a social center for the foreign community. Charlie Chaplin, Noel Coward and Somerset Maugham were just a few of its famous patrons. Excited by the prospects presented, Thompson became actively involved in the reorganization of the Oriental Hotel. By this time, Thompson had developed a certain fondness for the country and its people. He began to seriously contemplate settling down and going into business in Thailand. He foresaw a promising future for the country and wanted to be a part of this process. He decided that upon leaving the service, he would return and take up residence in Thailand permanently. With his artistic inclination, Thompson instantly found the remarkable beauty and extraordinary qualities of Thai silk, both fascinating and alluring. Traditionally the production of raw silk provided a supplemental source of income for many families in the northeast, most of whom were farmers. The raw silk was sent to Bangkok to supply weavers in the capital but by 1946, the hand weaving of Thai silk had become an ailing cottage industry. The use of silk was reserved for special or ceremonial occasions and so the demand for silk was small to start with. Traditional silk weaving process is a slow and laborious process with the silk being used to make the traditional Thai style of dress. Despite its rich color, silk faded quickly with repeated washing as natural vegetable dyes were used in the dyeing process. With the advent of industrialization in the early twentieth century, ever rising demand for cheaper machine-made textiles from factories in Europe and Japan, dealt a devastating blow to traditional silk weaving. Families continued to weave silk but it was predominantly for their own use and little attention was paid to its quality. Even fewer families engaged in silk weaving, its further decline seemed inevitable and irreversible. In spite of such a daunting scenario, Thompson was confident that the brilliance, and distinctive qualities of Thai silk would draw significant interest overseas. To assess this potential, he had several lengths of silk in a range of colors woven to his specifications and set off in 1947 for New York to see if he could successfully market the silk and source sophisticated buyers for his extraordinary merchandise. Throughout his endeavor, Thompson stood by one guiding principle. Whatever he was to accomplish in Thailand must benefit the people of Thailand. He chose to involve the local Thais and insisted that most, if not all, of the profits generated by the business -- the result of their own skills -- had to be returned to the people. In Thompson's view, the real measure of the success of the Thai silk industry was not in the profits generated by the Thai Silk Company he established but by the number of rival companies. In 1962, in recognition of his contribution to Thailand, the Royal Thai government awarded Thompson The Order of the White Elephant. By the time of his disappearance in 1967, there were over one hundred companies competing for a share of the Thai silk business. Today, the Thai silk industry provides employment for approximately 20,000 weaving families., Martha Galleher, 2007, 2.75, Washington, DC: American Academy of Achievement, 1998.

Cover title "1998 Banquet of the Golden Plate, American Academy of Achievement". Secretary of Energy Steven Chu was among the 1998 Captains of Achievement, recipients of the Golden Plate award as "representatives of the many who excel: in the great walks of life. The Achievement Summit was held May 20-24, 1998 in Jackson Hole, WYoming. From Wikipedia: "The Academy of Achievement is a United States-based non-profit organization that aims to bring high profile, successful people from various fields together with "young achievers" to inspire them to succeed. The Academy was founded in 1961 by Hy Peskin (who later changed his name to Brian Blaine Reynolds), and is now run by his son, Wayne Reynolds. The organization is based in Washington, D.C. The organization presents its annual "Golden Plate" award to high achieving individuals. Notable recipients of the award include Barack Obama, Jonas Salk, Wole Soyinka, Ronald Reagan, Maya Angelou, Desmond Tutu and Steve Jobs....The International Achievement Summit was first hosted in 1961. The meeting was originally called the annual "Salute to Excellence" and was later renamed the "Annual Achievement Summit". This annual meeting gives exceptional graduate students the opportunity to interact one-on-one with Nobel Prize-winners in the arts and sciences, public servants, prize-winning journalists, explorers, humanitarians, financiers, athletes, and entertainers. The Academy invites leaders in these categories to attend the Summit and address the students at a series of symposiums and roundtable discussions. The Academy also organizes dinners and other social events where the students are able to meet with honorees or to listen to them speak on various topics. Approximately 30 previous awardees and 20 new ones interact with 200 domestic and international graduate students in an informal setting over the course of four days. The summit ends with a formal dinner where that year's honorees are officially presented with their awards and inducted into the Academy....Until 1999, the meeting was held in a different U.S. city each year. In 1999, the event became the "International Achievement Summit", when the Academy held its first international meeting in Budapest, Hungary. Subsequent Summits have been held in London, England (2000), Dublin, Ireland (2002), Washington, D.C. (2003), ] Chicago, Illinois New York City (2005), Los Angeles, California (2006), Washington, D.C. (2007), Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (2008), Cape Town and Singita Sabi Sand Game Reserve, South Africa (2009), Washington, D.C. (2010), and Washington D.C. (2012). The "Golden Plate" is the Academy of Achievement's official award, which is presented to honorees at the end of its annual Summit. The Academy s Golden Plate Awards Council annually reviews a broad spectrum of candidates for invitation to the Summit. From this list, the council, composed of past "Golden Plate" honorees of the Academy, selects the 20 new awardees. Award recipients are selected for significant achievement in their fields. The Academy has presented awards to over 1, 000 honorees, who have included Nobel Prize winners, presidents, scientists, athletes, authors and entertainers. Notable awardees include Muhammad Ali, Steven Spielberg, Clare Boothe Luce, Willie Mays, Rosa Parks, Elie Wiesel, Jimmy Carter, Bill Gates, Coretta Scott King, Bob Dylan and Desmond Tutu. ] Steve Jobs received the award in 1982, when he was 26, and in his speech to students attending the summit advised that they travel and get to know Zen Buddhists.", American Academy of Achievement, 1998, 3, Los Angeles: DreamWorks Pictures, 2001.

Foxing to textblock. From the library of G. P. Goold. Some faint creasing to DJ. ; Callimachus has usually been seen as the archetypal ivory-tower poet, the epitome if not the inventor of the concept of art for art's sake, author of erudite works written to be read in book form by fellow poets and scholars. However, there is much evidence to suggest a different story: a world of civic festivals rather than books and libraries, a world in which poetry and poets played a central and public role. In the course of the argument, Cameron casts fresh light on the lives, dates, works and inter-relationships of most of the other leading poets of the age. Another axiom of modern scholarship is that the object of Callimachus's literary polemic was epic. Yet Cameron aims to show that the thriving school of epic poets celebrating the wars of Hellenistic kings that has so dominated modern study never existed. Elegy was the fashionable genre of the age and the bone of contention between Callimachus and his rivals (all fellow elegists) was the nature of elegaic narrative. A final chapter sketches some of the implications of this revised view of Callimachus and his world for the interpretation of Roman, especially Augustan, poetry. ; 533 pages ., Princeton University Press, 1995, 3<
