Thirty-five Years at Crown Point Press

Making Prints, Doing Art

By: Karin Breuer,Ruth Fine,Steven A. Nash,Crown Point Press (Oakland, Calif.),Fine Arts Museums (San Francisco, Calif.),Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco,National Gallery of Art (U.S.)

Crown Point Press in San Francisco, founded in 1962 by Kathan Brown, is a world-renowned center of contemporary printmaking. It has published work by such major figures as Richard Diebenkorn, Helen Frankenthaler, Sol LeWitt, and Wayne Thiebaud, while bringing to attention prints by many younger artists, including April Gornik, Anish Kapoor, Eric Fischl, and Francesco Clemente. Crown Point Press is known for presenting social and political issues in a range of printmaking media, from hard- and soft-ground etching to drypoint, aquatint, and mezzotint. The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco acquired the Crown Point Press archive in 1991. This collection of nearly 800 works contains one impression of every print the Press has ever produced. Also included are over 2000 working proofs and preparatory sketches. Now, in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco has organized an exhibition of these distinctive prints. Chronicling Crown Point Press's dedication to artistic quality and commitment to innovation in printmaking technique and subject matter, this book also presents Kathan Brown's notable contributions in transforming the printmaking landscape of the twentieth century. Published in association with The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

Antioxidants in Higher Plants

By: Ruth G. Alscher,John L. Hess

Antioxidants in Higher Plants provides a unique blend of molecular and biochemical approaches to cover the state of the art in antioxidant function. The chemistry and protective potential of sulfhydryl and hydroxyl compounds are emphasized. Interesting perspectives are presented regarding the response of antioxidant metabolism to interactions among environmental pollutants, illumination, temperature, and water availability. The book also discusses how tools of molecular biology may further clarify antioxidant function and response to stress. Antioxidants in Higher Plants will be an excellent reference for plant physiologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, ecologists, and students.

Yellowstone Cougars

Ecology before and during Wolf Restoration

By: Toni K. Ruth,Polly C. Buotte,Maurice G. Hornocker

Yellowstone Cougars examines the effect of wolf restoration on the cougar population in Yellowstone National Park—one of the largest national parks in the American West. No other study has ever specifically addressed the theoretical and practical aspects of competition between large carnivores in North America. The authors provide a thorough analysis of cougar ecology, how they interact with and are influenced by wolves—their main competitor—and how this knowledge informs management and conservation of both species across the West. Of practical importance, Yellowstone Cougars addresses the management and conservation of multiple carnivores in increasingly human-dominated landscapes. The authors move beyond a single-species approach to cougar management and conservation to one that considers multiple species, which was impossible to untangle before wolf reestablishment in the Yellowstone area provided biologists with this research opportunity. Yellowstone Cougars provides objective scientific data at the forefront of understanding cougars and large carnivore community structure and management issues in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, as well as in other areas where wolves and cougars are reestablishing. Intended for an audience of scientists, wildlife managers, conservationists, and academics, the book also sets a theoretical precedent for writing about competition between carnivorous mammals.

The Mozart Family

Four Lives in a Social Context

By: Ruth Halliwell

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Mozart Family

Four Lives in a Social Context

By: Ruth Halliwell

The family into which Mozart was born has never received a rigorous contextual study which does justice to the complexity of its relationships or to its interactions with colleagues, friends, and neighbours in Mozarts native city, Salzburg. Most biographies of Mozart have undervalued the manypassages in the rich family correspondence which do not bear directly on him. This book draws on the neglected material, most of which has never been translated into English. At the heart of the work is a detailed examination of the letters, supplemented by little-known archival material from thepapers of the Berchtold family, into which Mozarts sister Nannerl married. Additional information concerning Salzburg's local history, especially the working conditions at court and the provision for dependants of court employees, enables the hopes, expectations, and fears of the Mozarts to belocated in the context of the social conditions there. As well as providing a sympathetic account of the other members of the family, all of whom were profoundly affected by the experience of sharing their lives with Mozart, this approach gives new significance to the events of Mozart's life; notonly are they set against the background of his familys expectations of him, but the ways in which the source material has to be used for this purpose necessarily involves fundamental improvements in its interpretation. Ruth Halliwell challenges most previous views of the characters in Mozart's family (especially of his father, Leopold), and of the relationships within it. She also introduces a wealth of characters from the Mozarts's circle in Salzburg, from chambermaids to princes, and demonstrates the relevanceof the gossip stories the Mozarts told about them to the larger outlook of the members of the family. In an important final section, Halliwell traces the roles of Nannerl and Mozart's wife Constanze in using, controlling, and handing on the biographical source material after Mozarts death. She discusses their dealings with publishers such as Breitkopf and Hartel, and with the authors of theearliest biographies of Mozart. This complex topic here receives an account which not only illuminates the characters of both women and the relations between them, but also addresses the question of how myths were able to creep into the Mozartian biography at so early a stage and take tenacioushold.

Now and Not Yet

Pressing in When You’re Waiting, Wanting, and Restless for More

By: Ruth Chou Simons

Your right now matters. Discover how to press in and not check out. Do you ever feel like your present moment is so far from where you really long to be? Do you ever struggle with embracing your right now because you are so focused on the future? Too often, we feel disappointed with our "right now"—our life circumstances, our relationships, our lack progress towards our dreams and goals, our daily grind. We want to do so many things—good, godly things—but our situations don't allow us to step into them. In Now and Not Yet, bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons has a powerful message for you when you're restless in your current season of life and just waiting—waiting to get beyond the pain, waiting for God to show up, waiting to get to tomorrow—she reminds you that it's okay to not like the right now we've been given, but we don't have to like it to lean in. Join Ruth as she shares a beautiful invitation for you to: Embrace the biblical truth that someday is made up of thousands of right nows Discern how the difficult parts of your life are actually a unique gift from God by discovering five ways to flip the script on a hard season Stop feeling trapped when you're not where you want to with guided liturgies for what you are facing today Live faithfully in the tension between what is and what is not yet Now and Not Yet will help you see that your right now matters. And you can choose to press in and not check out. With deep compassion, Ruth will help you see how God is profoundly present, how He wastes nothing, how He’s active and using this exact moment for the very purposes he's calling you to.

Depression

Theories and Treatments : Psychological, Biological, and Social Perspectives

In one volume it examines all the major theoretical, assessment, and treatment strategies, and based on the most recent research offers clear explanations of the psychological, biological, and cultural aspects of depression.

A comprehensive, step-by-step assessment guide is included. Rich in cases and new findings, the volume concludes with a discussion of how gender, age, race, and socioeconomic status can be important factors in depression. Technical terms are explained and minitutorials are provided throughout so that the text is understandable to all readers.
