What Is Contemporary Art?

By: Terry E. Smith

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Who gets to say what counts as contemporary art? Artists, critics, curators, gallerists, auctioneers, collectors, or the public? Revealing how all of these groups have shaped today’s multifaceted definition, Terry Smith brilliantly shows that an historical approach offers the best answer to the question: What is Contemporary Art? Smith argues that the most recognizable kind is characterized by a return to mainstream modernism in the work of such artists as Richard Serra and Gerhard Richter, as well as the retro-sensationalism of figures like Damien Hirst and Takashi Murakami. At the same time, Smith reveals, postcolonial artists are engaged in a different kind of practice: one that builds on local concerns and tackles questions of identity, history, and globalization. A younger generation embodies yet a third approach to contemporaneity by investigating time, place, mediation, and ethics through small-scale, closely connective art making. Inviting readers into these diverse yet overlapping art worlds, Smith offers a behind-the-scenes introduction to the institutions, the personalities, the biennials, and of course the works that together are defining the contemporary. The resulting map of where art is now illuminates not only where it has been but also where it is going.

Tendencies and Tensions of the Information Age

The Production and Distribution of Information in the United States

By: Jorge Reina Schement,Terry Curtis

The development of technology and the hunger for information has caused a wave of change in daily life in America. Nearly every American's environment now consists of cable television, video cassette players, answering machines, fax machines, and personal computers. Schement and Curtis argue that the information age has evolved gradually throughout the twentieth century. National focus on the production and distribution of information stems directly from the organizing principles and realities of the market system, not from a revolution sparked by the invention of the computer. Now available in paperback, Tendencies and Tensions of the Information Age, brings together findings from many disciplines, including classical studies, etymology, political sociology, and macroeconomics. This valuable resource will be enjoyed by sociologists, historians, and scholars of communication and information studies.

The Newsmongers

A History of Tabloid Journalism

By: Terry Kirby

Vivid and racy, a deep-dive into tabloids from their sixteenth-century beginnings to the National Inquirer and beyond. The Newsmongers unfolds the seedy history of tabloid journalism, from the first printed “Strange Newes” sheets of the sixteenth century to the sensationalism of today’s digital age. The narrative weaves from Regency gossip writers through New York’s “yellow journalism” battles to the “sex and sleaze” Sun of the 1970s; and from the Brexit-backing populism of the Daily Mail to the celebrity-obsessed Mail Online of the 2000s. Colorful figures such as Daniel Defoe, Lord Northcliffe, Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, Hugh Cudlipp, Rupert Murdoch, and Robert Maxwell are brought to vivid life. From scandalous confessions to the Leveson Inquiry into the behavior of the British press, the book explores journalists’ unscrupulous methods, taking in phone hacking, privacy breaches, and bribery. And now, in the digital era, The Newsmongers shows how popular journalism has succumbed to so-called churnalism while a certain royal is seeking revenge on the tabloids today.

The Blue Terraplane

By: James A. Terry

The Blue Terraplane is a 89 page novel. This novel is written in the local unadorned Black dialect spoken in 1937 Bronzeville, Chicago. Bishop Flipper was a poor runaway southern Black orphaned teenager who encountered a starving crippled old Black man with a three-legged dog. After sharing his meager food with this old man, the old man promised the orphaned teenager a blessed life in Chicago for six and a half years. On July 12, 1937, Madame Madelyn, a frail pipe-smoking elderly woman, invited Bishop to her to mysterious storefront business. Madelyn, a voodoo priestess, warned her guest that his blessed six-and-a-half year period would end on July 13, 1937. This old lady offered the young man a battered old bronze magic ring, which she claimed would protect him from any harm. At noon, July 13, Bishop encounters Raoul La Croix and Paloma Issert. Raoul was huge menacing-looking, baldheaded Black man with a long serpentine stiletto who was treating the helpless Paloma Issert in the local Illinois Central train station. Paloma Issert was a young girl, from Algiers, Louisiana, who was desperately attempting to escape from Raoul. Quickly, Raoul became Bishops adversary, while Paloma became his femme fatale.

Thrust into the northern wilderness in the dead of winter, Charlie Johnson and Lora Whitney struggle to survive not only the bitter cold, but also the ruthless men who will stop at nothing to make sure they don't emerge alive. "Here's the difference between us. You look at your job as a battle between good and evil. I look at my job as a challenge-a challenge that I find absolutely invigorating and that keeps me alive and stimulated. I admit I'm more fortunate than you. You deal with the living, while most of my clients are dead. You deal with the chaos of irrational personalities; I deal with cold hard facts. The living lie, cheat, and steal; the dead tell only the truth.

Grub

Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen

By: Anna Lappe,Bryant Terry

In the past few years, organic food has moved out of the patchouli-scented aisles of hippie food co-ops and into three-quarters of conventional grocery stores. Concurrent with this growth has been increased consumer awareness of the social and health-related issues around organic eating, independent farming, and food production. Combining a straight-to-the-point exposé about organic foods (organic doesn't mean fresh, natural, or independently produced) and the how-to's of creating an affordable, easy-touse organic kitchen, Grub brings organics home to urban dwellers. It gives the reader compelling arguments for buying organic food, revealing the pesticide industry's influence on government regulation and the extent of its pollution in our waterways and bodies. With an inviting recipe section, Grub also offers the millionsof people who buy organics fresh ideas and easy ways to cook with them. Grub's recipes, twenty-four meals oriented around the seasons, appeal to eighteen- to forty-year-olds who are looking for fun and simple meals. In addition, the book features resource lists (including music playlists to cook by), unusual and illuminating graphics, and every variety of do-it yourself tip sheets, charts, and checklists.

Don Tweedie Fighting Bandsman's Last Stand

Don Tweedie Fighting Bandsman's Last Stand

By: Terry Tweedie

Don Tweedie, Fighting Bandsman's Last Stand is a story of courage, determination, heroism, faith, love, and mateship throughout World War II. Don Tweedie’s last stand against the Japanese was in 1942 at Holland Hill, Singapore where he was severely wounded. Most stories that have been written have been more of a historical sense, whereas this is a more personal story. This book is written in three parts, and outlines his childhood/teenage years and leads into World War II, and then how he dealt with the images of war when he returned home in 1945. Part 2 is written from the heart, as it was told to his son about his war experience. Don Tweedie grew up throughout the Depression years, leading into WWII. He worked in a clothing warehouse in Sydney, and always wanted to play in a brass band. He joined the militia in 1937, and then enlisted in the infantry in 1940 to fight for his country. Don Tweedie was posted with the 2/20th Battalion in the Australian 8th Division to Malaya. It was while he was in the infantry that he became a bass drummer for the 2/20th Battalion band. However, he was severely wounded and captured in the fall of Singapore and was placed in captivity in Changi, Burma Railway, Saigon, Singapore, and Japan for the rest of the war. Don Tweedie was a quiet honest and respectful person. He was a very proud man who loved the fact that he fought for his country. More importantly, he was not going to give in to his captors. He had a strong bond between himself and those POWs who suffered or died and witnessed all those atrocities with him. While the physical problems were an issue, it was the emotional and psychological scars that a lot of these men suffered that would haunt them for a lifetime. However, life goes on, and Don Tweedie fulfilled his dreams to own his own cattle studs and play in a brass band. He played in the Forbes Town band for forty-six years right up until he passed away. This book is to pay tribute to Don Tweedie and all his fellow POWs, and also the families and friends of those POWs including the mothers, wives, and girlfriends who suffered along with their husbands, sons, uncles, brothers, grandfathers, or friends.

The Distant Glow

By: Terry I. Sarigumba

As an autobiography, The Distant Glow traces the story of my life to the rough and rigorous way of life in Corella, Bohol my birthplace. Descending from generations of very poor and illiterate ancestors, I exceeded my parents grade three education by finishing grade six and graduating as elementary school valedictorian. Because my parents could not afford to send me to high school in the city, I stayed out of school for six years, helping my father on the farm and my mother in household chores. One of several backbreaking works I used to do was climbing several coconut trees, about 50 feet in height, to tap the trees (sanggutan) for tuba, a coconut juice that yields mildly alcoholic drink. I used to climb 20 coconut trees every morning, noon and evening, mount over top, sit on one of the palms and tap the juice. One evening after sunset, while atop the sanggutan, I saw a glow, a distant glow. I muttered to myself: Someday, Ill find out what causes that glow. I equated that statement to my goals in life. I did find out what caused the distant glow. Other distant glows appeared and I reached most of them with hard work and having a dream. When the owners of a private school offered me an opportunity to go to their school free of tuition, provided that I maintained the first place standing in the class honor roll, I went to high school, starting at age 20. To help shoulder the other costs of going to high school in the city, I paid my room and board with service: scrubbing and polishing the floor, fetching water from an artesian well and gathering firewood every weekend for the landlord family. With all the hardship, I maintained the tuition-free deal and graduated from high school as class valedictorian.

The Pursuit of Fairness

A History of Affirmative Action

By: Terry H. Anderson

Affirmative action strikes at the heart of deeply held beliefs about employment and education, about fairness, and about the troubled history of race relations in America. Published on the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, this is the only book available that gives readers a balanced, non-polemical, and lucid account of this highly contentious issue. Beginning with the roots of affirmative action, Anderson describes African-American demands for employment in the defense industry--spearheaded by A. Philip Randolph's threatened March on Washington in July 1941--and the desegregation of the armed forces after World War II. He investigates President Kennedy's historic 1961 executive order that introduced the term "affirmative action" during the early years of the civil rights movement and he examines President Johnson's attempts to gain equal opportunities for African Americans. He describes President Nixon's expansion of affirmative action with the Philadelphia Plan--which the Supreme Court upheld--along with President Carter's introduction of "set asides" for minority businesses and the Bakke ruling which allowed the use of race as one factor in college admissions. By the early 1980s many citizens were becoming alarmed by affirmative action, and that feeling was exemplified by the Reagan administration's backlash, which resulted in the demise and revision of affirmative action during the Clinton years. He concludes with a look at the University of Michigan cases of 2003, the current status of the policy, and its impact. Throughout, the author weighs each side of every issue--often finding merit in both arguments--resulting in an eminently fair account of one of America's most heated debates. A colorful history that brings to life the politicians, legal minds, and ordinary people who have fought for or against affirmative action, The Pursuit of Fairness helps clear the air and calm the emotions, as it illuminates a difficult and critically important issue.

Ship Island, Mississippi

Rosters and History of the Civil War Prison

By: Theresa Arnold-Scriber,Terry G. Scriber

Ship Island was used as a French base of operations for Gulf Coast maneuvers and later, during the War of 1812, by the British as a launching point for the disastrous Battle of New Orleans. But most memorably, Ship Island served as a Federal prison under the command of Union Major General Benjamin F. Butler during the Civil War. This volume traces this fascinating and somewhat sinister history of Ship Island. The main focus of the book is a series of rosters of the men imprisoned. Organized first by the state in which the soldier enlisted and then by the company in which he served, entries are listed alphabetically by last name and include information such as beginning rank; date and place of enlistment; date and place of capture; physical characteristics; and, where possible, the fate and postwar occupation of the prisoner.

D. H. Lawrence, Ecofeminism and Nature

D. H. Lawrence, Ecofeminism and Nature

By: Terry Gifford

This is the first ecocritical book on the works of D. H. Lawrence and also the first to consider the links between nature and gender in the poetry and the novels. In his search for a balanced relationship between male and female characters, what role does nature play in the challenges Lawrence offers his readers? How far are the anxieties of his characters in negotiating relationships that might threaten their sense of self derived from the same source as their anxieties about engaging with the Other in nature? Indeed, might Lawrence’s metaphors drawn from nature actually be the causes of human actions in The Rainbow, for example? The originality of Lawrence’s poetic and narrative strategies for challenging social attitudes towards both nature and gender can be revealed by new approaches offered by ecocritical theory and ecofeminist readings of his books. This book explores ecocritical notions to frame its ecofeminist readings, from the difference between the ‘Other’ and ‘otherness’ in The White Peacock and Lady Chatterley’s Lover, ‘anotherness’ in the poetry of Birds, Beasts and Flowers, psychogeography in Sea and Sardinia, emergent ecofeminism in Sons and Lovers, land and gender in The Boy in the Bush, gender dialogics in Kangaroo, human animality in Women in Love, trees as tests in Aaron’s Rod, to ‘radical animism’ in The Plumed Serpent. Finally, three late tales provide a reassessment of ecofeminist insights into Lawrence’s work for readers in the present context of the Anthropocene.

Extreme Marriage

Mastering the Ever-Changing, Life-Long Adventure

By: Terry Owens

Prepare For The Most Extreme Adventure of All How’s this for a challenge: With a teammate you've just met, skydive from a plane, kayak a river of Class IV rapids (no life jackets allowed), and then climb the sheer face of a canyon wall. Keep that up for thirty years or so with your teammate, and you get just a hint of life’s most extreme adventure–marriage! From the adrenaline rush of the honeymoon through the obstacles of growing old together, success and enjoyment in marriage depend on your ability to learn new skills, take big risks, endure tough times, and embrace the extreme life-giving power of a lasting marriage. Extreme Marriage looks at the ultimate commitment between a man and a woman through the exciting lens of extreme sports. Author Terry Owens explores outdoor challenges like skydiving, caving, high-altitude climbing, and more, linking their lessons to the challenges of married life. Forget the old saying about “marrying and settling down.” This book is the high energy guide for the intense adventure of husband and wife.

Anthology of My Own Poems

By: Terry J Powell

Looking for that open door Slightly ajar to begin with, we are all looking for and finding goals slightly out of grasp Losing a grip of a loosely held clasp And in the end losing it all, watching it all slip away in the reality of the cold light of day Isn't life like that? Terry Powell has been penning poetry for nearly twenty years. Now he shares the entirety of his work in one collection that offers inspiration for everyone. Powell’s diverse poems reflect on his personal experiences, true events, and moments in time. He explores a variety of subjects and themes that include naughty children, the deliciousness of chocolate, an old, forbidding house, the climb up a craggy mountain face, the joys of first love, the spectacular colors of the autumn season, and the veteran soldiers who helped transform the course of history. Anthology of My Own Poems shares the entirety of one man’s original writings as he lyrically explores his experiences, thoughts, and life itself.

A Rich, Deliciously Satisfying Collection of Breakfast Recipes

By: Janet Sue Terry

A Rich, Deliciously Satisfying Collection of Breakfast RecipesI grew up with hot buttermilk biscuits, gravy, meat, eggs, fried potatoes, and sometimes fried apples on the breakfast table every single morning. Over the years I acquired a valued collection of my own favorite recipes. They are a whisper from days gone by. A trip to the past when breakfast was the most important meal of the day. The first meal of the morning was a celebration of life and the gift of a new day. Breakfast was a time for families to congregate and fortify one another for the hectic, uncertain day that lay ahead.Most of the recipes in this book are high calorie-high fat recipes. You can control the fat content in your food by substituting ingredients when you cook at home. You have no such control over the food you eat in restaurants. The following quote sums up my thoughts exactly: ?Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.? -- Adelle Davis (1904-1974). Therefore, if you are going to eat one good meal today, make it breakfast.?A Rich, Deliciously Satisfying Collection of Breakfast Recipes includes: gourmet coffee, (International coffee, Christmas coffee, Irish, viennese, cappuccino, hazelnut cafe-au-lait, French vanilla, etc.) creamers, hot chocolate (French, Mayan, Mexican, etc.), and tea (apricot mint, orange, lemon almond, etc.) recipes. Fruit drinks, cider, and smoothie recipes. Soft drinks, (root beer, ginger ale, and a Coca-Cola? clone recipe), soda drinks, and punch recipes. Quick fruit breads (banana nut bread, cherry bread, pumpkin bread, apple bread, etc.), muffins, and French toast recipes. Fruit bread and mixes in a canning jar (banana nut bread, gingerbread, zucchini bread, etc.) recipes. Jelly (mint, currant, Apple, Grape, Cherry, etc.), jam, preserves, marmalades, and syrup recipes. Pancakes (blueberry, cranberry, buttermilk, etc.), crepes, and waffles (Kentucky gingerbread, buttermilk, etc.), recipes. Doughnuts (yeast, cake, filled, etc.), rolls (cinnamon, sticky buns, orange swirl, etc.), strudel, and Danish recipes. Coffee cakes, streusel, berry cakes, breakfast cobblers, kuchen, and crumb cakes recipes. Scones and bannock recipes. Oatmeal, rice, grits, and granola recipes. Southern gravy (red-eye, sausage gravy, etc.), and biscuits (buttermilk, cheese, raisins, etc.) Breakfast meats (ham, bacon, pork chops, fried chicken, fried squirrel, fried rabbit, sausage, etc.), recipes. Breakfast side dishes (fried green tomatoes, hash browns, fried squash, fried apples, fried corn, etc.), recipes. Bread pudding (cranberry bread pudding with fruits and whisky or rum sauces, chocolate bread pudding, etc.), recipes. Egg recipes, including; omelets, casseroles, frittatas, enchiladas, pizzas, pies, quesadillas, burritos, stir-fry, strata, popovers, and quiches. You wll treasure this comprehensible breakfast cookbook for many years to come. This recipe book also contains a brief history on some foods and cooking tips including; making yeast breads, canning homemade jellies, jams, marmalades, preserves, and conserves, designing and giving gift baskets filled with homemade items such as gourmet coffee mixes, homemade jelly, jam, marmalade, preserves, syrup, and fruit breads baked in a jar that will last a good twelve months in the freezer.I wrote the kind of cookbook I want to keep on hand in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I will.

Outlaws of the Wild West

Outlaws of the Wild West

By: Terry C. Treadwell

This true crime history of the American Frontier separates fact from fiction with in-depth profiles of thirty-eight career criminals and infamous outlaw gangs. In the years following the American Civil War, the country’s western frontier was home to a prodigious number of myth-making cowboys, infamous gunslingers, saloon madams, and not always law-abiding lawmen. But the romantic mystique of these individuals and the time in which they lives is largely the product of novelists and filmmakers. In Outlaws of the Wild West, Terry Treadwell presents the real stories behind such legends as Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy, the Dalton Brothers, and others—as well as their lesser-known but equally criminal peers. Here are the stories of William Clark Quantrill and his Confederate Army unit, Quantrill’s Raiders, who turned hit-and-run raids into a way of life; Henry Starr, the Native American career criminal who went on to play himself in the movie of his life; Ann and Josie Bassett, the sisters who defended their ranch from cattle barons with the help of Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch; and many more.

Nymph Fishing

A History of the Art and Practice

By: Terry Lawton

Upstream nymph fishing has developed from the minor tactic of G.E.M. Skues into a universally-accepted method wherever fly fishermen fish for brown trout and grayling. The history of nymph fishing is notable for the argument between F.M. Halford, the dry-fly ultrapurist, and Skues, culminating in the debate on the legitimacy of fishing nymphs on chalkstreams and the later fallout between Frank Sawyer and Major Oliver Kite. For the first thirty years of the twentieth century, nymph fishermen were held in contempt and often considered little better than poachers on many chalkstreams. Nymph fishing started and was developed in England and then spread, along with nymph patterns, around the world through the writings of Skues and others and the travels of English anglers. Over the last fifty years, the English method has been adapted and developed to suit local conditions, particularly in the United States.
