New Releases by Bruce Foster

Exploring the lobster''s biology and its history in language, literature and gastronomy, The Lobster''s Tale navigates the perils of a life driven by overreaching ambition and the appetite for knowledge, conquest and commerce. In conversation with the text, Bruce Foster''s photographs navigate a parallel course of shadows and light, in which the extraordinary textures and colours of the natural world tell a darker story. The Lobster''s Tale is a meditation on the quest for immortality on which both artists and scientists have embarked, and the unhappy consequences of the attempt to both conquer nature and create masterpieces. Meanwhile, below the waterline of text and images, a modest voice can be overheard whispering an alternative to these narratives of heroic and doomed exploration.The Lobster''s Tale brings together award-winning writer Chris Price and distinguished photographer Bruce Foster. It is the third in the korero series of ''picture books'' edited by Lloyd Jones, written and made for grown-ups and designed to showcase leading New Zealand writers and artists working together in a collaborative and dynamic way.

On a horse farm in the steeplechase country of Maryland''s My Lady''s Manor, ER physician Alex Randolph and his girlfriend, Penny Murray, are recovering from injuries sustained in a hospital hostage incident that transforms them into instant but unwilling national celebrities. A thousand miles distant-in a parallel universe-an abused and impoverished young girl from the Everglades evolves into a stunningly beautiful sociopath of enormous wealth. As a golden summer transitions to fall, dark obsession stalks the unknowing young couple, and fate inexorably leads three lives to collision, sweeping the idyllic landscape of My Lady''s Manor with terror and death.

Between March and May 2013, photographer Bruce Foster and poet Gregory O''Brein were temporary citizens of Santiago de Chile, staying in an apartment a short walk from the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, where their works were included in the ''Kermadec - Art Across the Pacific'' exhibition. Camera in hand, Foster walked the streets of this ambiguous yet curiously animated city, with its buskers, military parades, stray dogs and cascades of water from the cannons of armoured vehicles; O''Brien wrote poems, seated at Cafe Sur or the Mosqueto (with its Fernando Pessoa placemats), or on a bench in the Parque Forestal. Together they observed the life of street, park, and busy intersection; they were drawn into the generous, abundant lives of their fellow citizens.

The adventures of a boy and his dragon friend are recounted in this classic song from the 1960s.

Critics have repeatedly charged that the orthodox formulation of the orthodox doctrine of the incarnation is logically incoherent. Several conservative writers have responded in various ways. Norman Geisler predicates logically incompatible attributes of Christ to his two natures. Millard Erickson relies on his version of the kenosis strategy. Thomas Morris formulates a two-minds model. Ronald Leigh steps out of the boundaries of orthodoxy and suggest a one-natured Christ. All of these views appear to suffer from various inadequacies. The best formulation of the incarnation doctrine is that of Kierkegaard''s Absolute Paradox.
