Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This collection of my poems includes poems I have written over more than seventy years, far back into my younger years, when I was a ditch-digger for the WPA and then an artist depicting people at work during the depression years. I began to write by writing on the backs of my pictures and paintings, usually something about what was in the picture, what moved me to compose the picture, my thoughts and feelings about what I was depicting that was part of the human experience. Later on, I began to write poetry about art and paintingwhat it felt like to paint, what went through my mind and heart as I set myself to the task of painting, how I felt about the subjects of my painting, be they human, animal, plant, or an especially evocative scene. I wrote extensively of my feelings for my wife and son. When my wife died, I poured my grief into poetry about my feelings of loss.

In My Fashion

A Memoir

By: Sol Kent

In My Fashion will delight those intrigued by the world of high fashion and its history. From the heady days in Paris at Christian Dior's "New Look" collection, to the shows, parties, and lifestyles of such luminaries as Cristobal Balenciaga, Coco Chanel, Norman Norell, Emilio Pucci, Hubert de Givenchy, and Bill Blass, the reader witnesses the glamour, the glitz, and often the frenzy of this world of flair, imagination, and force of personality. In this book Kent also provides a unique education in the production of fashion shows, which he elevated to an art form. Through Kents vision, fashion becomes theater. Two actual show scripts are included in this book. With an artists eye and passion, he reminds the reader that, as women have always known, memories are often indelibly attached to ones favorite clothes. This articulate and witty distillation is an exquisite pleasure for the elegant Mr. Kents many admirers, and a treat for anyone who is interested in the history of our time, in the seeds of creativity, and in the power of style.

The Murders of Anonymity

By: Michael Sol Pollens

When Kurt Larsen is hired to investigate embezzlement at Boston's latest entry into the fast-moving world of home-finance, he expects little more than an opportunity to take down some white-collar, rich-man wannabe, while paying something on account to his "credit-card company, two girlfriends, ex-wife, and bartender." But the theft of hundreds of thousands has only opened the door into New World Mortgage's labyrinth of secrets. Soon after the case begins, Karina Miller, the company's beautiful young accountant, is found strangled in her apartment. Crime follows bloody crime as Larsen and State Police Detective Stewart travel the seamy, underworld streets. They encounter high-class prostitution, stylish confidence games, and high-flying financial fraud. It's a nightmarish pursuit of a vicious mind whose path is strewn with uncontrollable lusts and unholy pleasures, even as the killer remains hidden in the polyester-like fabric of everyday life in corporate America.

21 Allen Street

And Other Tales From the Life of Actor Paul Marin

By: Sol Schneider Aka Paul Marin

The 1950's and 60's, the really Golden Years of Broadway for my generation of Actors, Directors, Writers and Producers such as; Moss Hart, Joe Hyman, Sammy Locke, Paddy Chayefsky, David Mamet, David Merrick, Joseph Stein, Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick, George Abbott, Hal Prince, Jerome Robbins, Morton DeCosta, Fryer and Carr and many others too numerous to mention, and it was. Hearing the appreciative applause as the curtain rises and the actors move front stage on Opening Night, creates an energy level that is unmatchable. In my own acting experience on Broadway and in Hollywood the actor knows that he's at the pinnacle for the acting profession in the entire world, creating a commentary and a life style that unites a world-wide audience in one large projection room.

Capturing the German Eye

American Visual Propaganda in Occupied Germany

By: Cora Sol Goldstein

Shedding new light on the American campaign to democratize Western Germany after World War II, Capturing the German Eye uncovers the importance of cultural policy and visual propaganda to the U.S. occupation. Cora Sol Goldstein skillfully evokes Germany’s political climate between 1945 and 1949, adding an unexpected dimension to the confrontation between the United States and the USSR. During this period, the American occupiers actively vied with their Soviet counterparts for control of Germany’s visual culture, deploying film, photography, and the fine arts while censoring images that contradicted their political messages. Goldstein reveals how this U.S. cultural policy in Germany was shaped by three major factors: competition with the USSR, fear of alienating German citizens, and American domestic politics. Explaining how the Americans used images to discredit the Nazis and, later, the Communists, she illuminates the instrumental role of visual culture in the struggle to capture German hearts and minds at the advent of the cold war.

The European Integration Process: Crisis and Resilience in the Aftermath of the Covid-19 Pandemic

By: António Portugal Duarte,Srdjan Redžepagic,Fátima Teresa Sol Murta

The process of European integration is considered the most innovative example of regionalism in the world. The Covid-19 pandemic crisis, which the world experienced since the beginning of 2020, caused a brutal negative shock on the economies. It raised new doubts and challenges about the European integration project, making the prospect of the EU’s dissolution something possible, even if undesirable. The book analyses these events, counting with the contribution of 41 authors, from universities and research centers of several European countries, and also from other continents. Its objective is to gather four perspectives to the European integration in a post-pandemic context: I) that of the countries of the Eurozone;II) that of the Eurozone candidate countries; III) the East “look” of EU candidate countries, and IV) the view of the rest of the world. The book is divided into four parts, each corresponding to one of these inputs, for a total of 24 chapters.

How To Understand The True Cosmos

How To Understand The True Cosmos

By: Dr. Sol Aisenberg

The need for dark matter and dark energy are removed by the introduction of observations of galaxies and stars at cosmic distances to be added to the observations of planets in our solar system. When cosmic observations that were not available to Newton are included, the result is a new universal model of gravity also valid for the cosmos and also the solar system, without change. When applied to the existing cosmic observations and solar system observations, the resulting Universal Law of Cosmic Gravity by Aisenberg explains cosmic observations and reduces to Newton's law in the solar system. Hubble observed that redshifts increased with distance but without proof suggested that the redshift and the Doppler effect showed that the galaxies were receding and that the universe was expanding. This led to the wrong belief in the big bang but without observational proof of receding velocity. We will show that the age of the cosmos is wrong, explain tired light, solve Olbers' paradox about the dark sky, and remove the need for inflation. We will explain the cosmic microwave background (CMB), explain quasars and black holes, and why the cosmos is apparently closed. The latest Nobel Prizes (1978 and 2011) for Physics should be reexamined. The author, Dr. Sol Aisenberg earned a PhD in Physics from MIT, with a minor in math, was a part time staff member in the MIT physics department and in the Research Lab of Electronics, RLE, and was a part-time lecturer at the Harvard Medical School and a part-time visiting research professor of bioengineering in Boston University. Aisenberg was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi (science), and Pi Mu Epsilon (math) honor societies.

Bottled Stars

By: Sol Sigrid

Bottled Stars is a poetry collection filled with nuanced traces of human thought, feeling, and experience. It is a full exploration of every human emotion outpoured through words and metaphors as it encapsulates the entire emotional journey of an individual in every phase, in every challenge, and in every beautiful moment. As people turn back to star dusts in the end, then perhaps, these bottled stars must be the very epitome of their existence shared to the world. As we spill our truths to the universe, the rawest and most vulnerable parts of ourselves are finally anchored to the depths of the world. We return to where we embarked on beginning, we sparkle even in our ending. Indeed, these bottled stars are bottled scars, the sole proof that our incandescent beams had conquered wars.

There's a Word for It

The Explosion of the American Language Since 1900

By: Sol Steinmetz

Word geeks (1984), rejoice! Crack open these covers and immerse yourself in a mind-expanding (1963) compendium of the new words (or new meanings of words) that have sprung from American life to ignite the most vital, inventive, fruitful, and A-OK (1961) lexicographical Big Bang (1950) since the first no-brow (1922) Neanderthal grunted meaningfully. From the turn of the twentieth century to today, our language has grown from around 90,000 new words to some 500,000—at least, that’s today’s best guesstimate (1936). What accounts for this quantum leap (1924)? In There’s a Word for It, language expert Sol Steinmetz takes us on a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (1949) joyride (1908) through our nation’s cultural history, as seen through the neato (1951) words and terms we’ve invented to describe it all. From the quaintly genteel days of the 1900s (when we first heard words such as nickelodeon, escalator, and, believe it or not, Ms.) through the Roaring Twenties (the time of flappers, jalopies, and bootleg booze) to the postwar ’50s (the years of rock ’n’ roll, beatniks, and blast-offs) and into the new millennium (with its blogs, Google, and Obamamania), this feast for word lovers is a boffo (1934) celebration of linguistic esoterica (1929). In chapters organized by decade, each with a lively and informative narrative of the life and language of the time, along with year-by-year lists of words that were making their first appearance, There’s a Word for It reveals how the American culture contributed to the evolution and expansion of the English language and vice versa. Clearly, it’s must-reading (1940). And not to disparage any of the umpteen (1918) other language books on the shelf—though they have their share of hokum (1917) and gobbledygook (1944)—but this one truly is the bee’s knees and the cat’s pajamas (1920s).

Textual Promiscuities

Eighteenth-century Critical Rewriting

By: Antoinette Marie Sol

Drawing on correspondence, novels, literary criticism, and other documents by Riccoboni, Laclos, and Burney, Antoinette Sol demonstrates how these novelists, traditionally separated by nationality, gender, and genre, are in fact concerned with similar issues of individual authority and social criticism. She shows how arbitrary literary categorization of these writers as sentimental or libertine has kept their work from a reading which reveals their commonalities."--BOOK JACKET.
