"Rock 'n' roll has expressed rebellious attitudes, hopes and fears, joyous and oblique visions, for over a quarter of a century. Rock stardom can be tremendously rewarding -- and not just financially either -- but along with the fun, the money and some of the less legitimate off-stage activity, come the enormous physical and mental pressures of mass adulation. Rock stars are often victims of their own success -- ROCK 'N' ROLL BABYLON takes apart the whole phenomenon of rock stardom for the first time: its highs and lows, its absurdities and tragedies, its pleasures and pain. Both uncompromising and entertaining in its approach, combining solid documentation, humor and revealing illustrations, Gary Herman's book takes a hard look at changing attitudes and tolerances since the music first exploded onto a public at once outraged and thrilled by the antics of its idols and examines Who did What to Whom -- and When and Where., Perigree Books (Putnam), 1982, 4, New York: Hudson Hills Press, 1997. Hardcover. VG/VG. Mustard cloth boards with stamped lettering. Glossy color-illustrated dust jacket with white lettering. 180 pp. Color illustrations. "Joyce Treiman, one of the finest American painters of the late twentieth century, was also one of the most individualistic, combining virtuosic draftsmanship and expressive brushwork with a lifelong devotion to painting the human figure in images that are direct, visceral, and sensuous. The qualities that characterize Treiman's mature work are direct, uncompromising representationalism; an old-master attitude toward the handling of paint; a subtle but pervasive undercurrent of both irony and compassion; vibrant color and fluid brushwork; compositional complexity; and a passion for telling stories in paint. Joyce Treiman is the first monograph devoted to this extraordinary artist. Theodore F. Wolff's essay provides a chronological overview of her life and career, while Michael Duncan analyzes her extraordinary late series of self-portraits. Treiman began as a draftsman and never denied drawing its central role in her creative vision. This elegant volume includes a separate album of drawings, reproducing in rich duotone what are, in Wolff's words, "a number of the finest examples of draftsmanship produced by an American during the past half century." The book's glorious centerpiece is a series of full-color reproductions of eighty-seven of Treiman's finest paintings, ranging from luridly colored pastels of Las Vegas night life to an ambitious cycle representing the labors of Hercules." -Jacket., Hudson Hills Press, 1997, 3, Athens: Efstathiadis., 2002 Book. Fine. Soft cover. Reissue. One of the best collections available of Modern Greek poets in English translation. "This anthology is a massive and splendid achievement rivaling in scope, importance and uncompromising purity of expression the greatest monuments of translation. Friar's translations are superb works of English poetry in themselves, the work of a man who is as much a poet as he is a translator. Translations of poems of 32 Greek poets of the 19th and the 20th century." 326p. Biographies, bibliography. index. Name of previous owner on ffep, else as new.i., Efstathiadis., 2002, 5<
