My account of my time in the Territorial army

Eric Fischl emerged in the 1980s as one of America''s most important figurative painters. His paintings, many of which show a single intense moment, compel the viewer to participate in a world of middle-class suburban ambiguity and drama. In Fischl''s engaging distinctly American canvases, narrative, morality, sexuality, and psychology are preeminent. This volume, an expanded edition of "Eric Fischl 1970-2000," is the most comprehensive examination of this important contemporary painter. More than 250 works, selected in conjunction with the artist, present the full scope of Fischl''s career: the formative work of the 1970s; the breakthrough paintings of the 1980s, including the controversial "Sleepwalker" and "Bad Boy"; and the mature work, often of a personal and contemplative nature, of the 1990s and 2000s. In his most recent paintings, Fischl has turned to multipiece cycles: "The Bed, The Chair" series, starting with "The Philosopher''s Chair"; canvases inspired by trips to Italy and India; and the paintings Fischl terms them "narrative fictions" of the "Krefeld Project." These engrossing images have been accomplished with a mastery that has been compared to that of Caravaggio. The introduction, by philosopher and critic Arthur C. Danto, offers a perceptive study of Fischl''s work over the course of four decades. Commentary drawn from interviews with the artist, conducted by noted writer Robert Enright, accompanies the paintings. Finally, a witty and personal afterword by Steve Martin, best known as a gifted comic actor and author, but also an astute collector of modern art, discusses "Barbeque," a famed Fischl painting from his private collection."

A celebrated memoir by one of the Australia''s most decorated WWI soldiers, Lt Joe Maxwell VC, MC & Bar, DCM. Joe also features in THE LOST DIGGERS, and his pageturner of a memoir is reissued as a classic companion piece. A classic World War I memoir by Lt Joe Maxwell, one of the Australia''s most decorated WWI diggers. This is his colourful eyewitness account of the role of 18th Battalion AIF in Gallipoli and the Western Front. After serving at Gallipoli, Maxwell, together with so many other Aussie diggers, was transferred to the Western Front. In just twelve months during 1917-1918 he was commissioned and awarded the DCM, Military Cross and Bar, and VC. This vivid and gripping memoir is a unique record of life as a World War One digger: Joe was in most of the major battles of the Western Front and graphically describes the action he saw, as well as the notorious larrikinism -and romantic adventures-of the off-duty diggers. With a new Afterword detailing Maxwell''s life after repatriation back to Australia, this is an edition to be treasured.

Un retrato del submundo hedonista de la escena artística de Nueva York de los últimos veinte años. Capaz de cautivar con naturalidad a las personas que la rodean, Lacey Yeager irrumpe en la escena artística neoyorquina como becaria lista y divertida de Sotheby''s. Con encanto, ambición y unas tácticas cuestionables y vagamente ilegales, pasa de catalogar pinturas en sótanos polvorientos a triunfar en el laberíntico y secretista mundo del arte. Su conocimiento acerca del arte, y especialmente de los coleccionistas de arte, crece rápidamente a medida que aumenta la lista de hombres que encandila y destruye sin remedio. Su trayectoria en las altas esferas de la vida social de la ciudad reflejará las vertiginosas alturas y, también, los profundos abismos que alcanzó el mundo del arte en los años noventa en Nueva York. Reseñas: «Un objeto de belleza es una historia del arte bajo la apariencia de una historia de amor.» Joyce Carol Oates «Este libro hace un trabajo maravillosamente nostálgico al capturar aquel "Nueva York fresco y limpio" -y tan lleno de dinero fresco, jóvenes hermosos y promesas al estilo gran Gatsby- que facilita el ascenso de Lacey.» The New York Times

Not only can this book lead you to happiness, it can save lives. Over the past few years, three of Steve Martin''s friends lost teenage children to suicide. Then, when a fourth friend''s fifteen-year-old daughter took her own life, he realized he knew something that might have prevented all four suicides-if only he''d shared it. This book is the result. You don''t have to have suicidal thoughts, suffer from depression, or even just have the blahs for "You Can Be Happy, No Joke" to be a must-read, game-changer. No matter how down in the dumps, or how successful you are, you most certainly will benefit. In simple, everyday terms Steve explains why suicide is not worth two-seconds consideration and how to jettison whatever issues trouble you and replace them with a happy and fulfilling life. Perhaps most amazing, there''s just one thing you need to know and one thing you need to do, and he reveals both within the first 500 words.

Sam - an unemployed alcoholic with very little left to live for - awakens on a train he has no recollection of boarding.

Based upon the real-life experiences of author Steve Martin, 13 Stops is a sometimes thrilling, sometimes sweet, sometimes beautiful ride through life itself, showing how - in spite of our own lack of understanding of why we experience various trials - not one of them is meaningless, and not one tear is ever wasted.
