These thirty-three poems that cast light into the darkness and promise to wake readers from their spiritual apathy, selected by Clinton Collister and Daniel Rattelle, reflect on the permanent things that make life worth living. Shouldn''t poetry invite us into a tradition that unites us with the living, the dead, and the unborn? Shouldn''t poetry move us with music, meaning and story? Ranging from James Matthew Wilson and Marly Youmans to David Middleton and Sally Thomas, these poets tell us about woodworkers and priests, hermits and students, gardeners and clerks who sojourn in a world charged with the grandeur of God.

ufeffIn this Second Edition, Revised and Expanded, Wilson has completely revised the poems to attain a more classical perfection. Includes new poems collected as "The Christmas Preface."

A designed garden space can achieve so much more than one that has simply evolved. The design process encourages us to question exactly what we want from the garden, who will use the space and how.

Thoroughly user-friendly and covering a broad historical sweep, this book is a reference guide to fifty of the most frequently occurring symbols in global art history. Iconography, or the study of symbols—be they animals, artifacts, plants, geometric shapes, or gestures—is an essential aspect of interpreting art. One of the most consistent features of human society throughout time has been the use of visual symbols, which often act as substitutions for the written word, crossing dialects and borders and uniting understandings of the world through a shared language. Incorporating and analyzing a wealth of cultures, Symbols in Art serves as a reference guide to fifty of the most frequently occurring symbols in global art history from 2300 BCE to the present day, exploring their subtle implications and covert meanings. Entries devoted to specific symbols expose nuances of meaning and historical use, from easily identifiable symbols across the globe to those used to speak to specific cultural groups. This book exposes such intriguing correspondences as the symbolism of grapevines in a fifteenth-century painting by Giovanni Bellini compared to the images in Yinka Shonibare’s Last Supper. Complete with a user-friendly glossary of symbols and a well-selected array of illustrations, this book illuminates common and thought-provoking symbols in art across history and the globe, functioning as an indispensable tool for interpretation.

"Wilson''s menu of STL treatments will no doubt be good eating for generic programming adherents, ardent C programmers just now taking on STL and C++, Java programmers taking a second look at C++, and authors of libraries targeting multiple platforms and languages. Bon appetit!"--George Frazier, Cadence Design Systems, Inc. "A thorough treatment of the details and caveats of STL extension." --Pablo Aguilar, C++ Software Engineer "This book is not just about extending STL, it''s also about extending my thinking in C++." --Serge Krynine, C++ Software Engineer, RailCorp Australia "You might not agree 100% with everything Wilson has to say, but as a whole his book is the most valuable, in-depth study of practical STL-like programming." --Thorsten Ottosen, M.C.S., Boost Contributor "Wilson is a master lion tamer, persuading multifarious third-party library beasts to jump through STL hoops. He carefully guides the reader through the design considerations, pointing out the pitfalls and making sure you don''t get your head bitten off." --Adi Shavit, Chief Software Architect, EyeTech Co. Ltd "Wilson''s book provides more than enough information to change the angst/uncertainty level of extending STL from ''daunting'' to ''doable.'' " --Garth Lancaster, EDI/Automation Manager, Business Systems Group, MBF Australia "This book will open up your eyes and uncover just how powerful STL''s abstractions really are." --Nevin ":- )" Liber, 19-year veteran of C++ "In the canon of C++ there are very few books that extend the craft. Wilson''s work consistently pushes the limits, showing what can and cannot be done, and the tradeoffs involved." --John O''Halloran, Head of Software Development, Mediaproxy "Essential concepts and practices to take the working programmer beyond the standard library." --Greg Peet " Extended STL is not just a book about adapting the STL to fit in with your everyday work, it''s also an odyssey through software design and concepts, C++ power techniques, and the perils of real-world software development--in other words, it''s a Matthew Wilson book. If you''re serious about C++, I think you should read it." --Björn Karlsson, Principle Architect, ReadSoft; author of Beyond the C++ Standard Library: An Introduction to Boost In Extended STL, renowned C++ expert Matthew Wilson shows how to go beyond the C++ standard and extend the Standard Template Library into the wider C++ world of APIs and non-standard collections, to write software that is more efficient, ...

"The Wounds of Beauty is host to an immersive symposium on beauty and its relationship to art and education. In these seven dialogues, Margarita Mooney Suarez speaks with: Peter Brown on how beauty shaped Christian civilization in late antiquity; George Harne on the rapport between music and beauty and the latter’s connection to other forms of knowledge; Sister Noëlla Marcellino, O.S.B., on the Benedictine Way and its pattern of authentic living as expressed in chant and cheesemaking; James Matthew Wilson on the imperative of beauty for happiness amidst the post-modern distortion of our capacities for creativity and innovation; David Clayton on the way of beauty as a path to cultural renewal; Francis X. Maier on the origins of the pessimism in contemporary education and on the power of beauty to cure it; and Dana Gioia on creative intuition in poetry and literature and the importance of the arts as the foundation of a thriving culture. Following upon the success of The Love of Learning, Mooney Suarez’s initial volume of dialogues on the liberal arts, The Wounds of Beauty testifies to the essential place of beauty in the good life and confidently sets before its readers a path toward a more literate and more articulate future." --
