Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Very Good. 'Hersey is exploring the ways that life imitates art, a subject which has been thought about by many observers of both; but here with an additional application of the theory of sexual selection. This book is written with an immense relish that adds strong literary persuasion to its already persuasive argument.'-- Anne Hollander, author of 'Sex &Suits: The Evolution of Modern Dress' (1995) The beauty of the human body has found a daring beholder in art historian George Hersey, who for the first time brings modern Darwinian theories of sexual selection (mate competition, attractor manipulation, and the like) into the history of art. 'The Evolution of Allure' shows how Western art has channeled mate choice, exploiting the cosmetics, clothes, muscles, organs, and ornaments that showcase the body. From the Medici Venus to Vitruvius, Leonardo, Durer, and the phone-sex goddesses of 'D-Cup Superstars,' Hersey9s lively, erotically charged text shows that the formulas set forth by the Greek sculptor Polykleitos have established a Western canon of human gestures and proportions and may have influenced human evolution.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Good. 'Into the Fire' Founded in the early 1950s, Perspecta is the oldest and most distinguished of the student-edited American architectural journals that have appeared in recent decades. Perspecta 29 examines the legacy of the academic and professional confrontations of the 1960s. The issue is assembled around the transcript of the 1992 conference 'Rethinking Designs of the 60s' (with Denise Scott Brown, Ed Logue, Cedric Price, Martha Rosler, Paul Rudolph, Ron Shiffman, Susanna Torre, Michael Webb, and others). It includes documents from the Architects' Resistance (1967-70), a student group whose activities coincided with the dissolution of Yale's Department of City Planning and an explosion and fire at the Yale Art and Architecture Building in 1969, as well as internal documents from the university related specifically to these events.The issue presents contemporary American projects that represent another generation of commitment to activist practice--continuing to approach design as a socially engaged, oppositional mission. Also included are an interview with Virginia Schaff and essays by Susan Piedmont-Palladino, Michael Sorkin, Thomas Fisher, Graham Finney, William McDonough, and Robert Goodman. Founded in the early 1950s, PERSPECTA, the Yale Architectural Journal, is the oldest and most distinguished of the student-edited American architectural journals that have appeared in recent decades.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Very Good. Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) is best known as an American modernist andpioneering artist of the early twentieth century. But he was also a prolific writerwho published dozens of essays and reviews and several volumes of poetry and prose.The autobiographical account of his life in the manuscript collection of Yale?sBeinecke Library has often been consulted by scholars and curators writing aboutHartley. It is the most revealing document he left about his personal life andrelationships -- both for its disclosures and omissions -- but has never beenpublished before.Transcribed from Hartley's own handwritten manuscripts, thisedition is accompanied by photographs (some never before published), notes, and anintroduction discussing Hartley's fascination with autobiography in the context ofhis struggle with notions of self-representation in art. Susan Ryan also describesthe circumstances surrounding the composition of Somehow a Past, and explains thedistinctions between this original version and two later ones also in the BeineckeLibrary.Somehow a Past is compelling both as historical document and as personalnarrative. Although solitary, self-involved, and saturnine, Hartley neverthelessknew nearly every figure of the international avant-garde in his day and unfolds hislife largely through a chain of personal encounters. His traffic with such majorliterary and artistic figures as Alfred Stieglitz, Vasili Kandinski, Gertrude Stein, Mabel Dodge, Eugene O?Neill, Robert McAlmon, and Charles Demuth is recorded as arehis travels both domestic and foreign.Somehow a Past is gossipy, discursive, andself-distanced. Hartley drafted it several times, truncating the description of histraumatic childhood, and leaving out any overt reference to his homosexuality. Yetthere are moments of crystal clear self-characterization and leitmotifs thatcommemorate his troubled youth. Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) is best known as an American modernist and pioneering artist and writer of the early 20th century. This autobiographical account of his life is the most revealing document he left about his personal life and relationships but has never been published before. SOMEHOW A PAST is compelling both as historical document and as personal narrative. 45 illustrations. Slight scratching/scuffing on cover. Book has minor shelf wear. Sold as is.…

Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Good. 'This essay on our profound and daily relationship to classical forms is fairly boggling in its scholarship, its scope, its freedom from cant, and also in Rykwert's fresh reading of meanings vested in the orders that 'have dominated Western architecture for nearly three millennia.''-- 'Village Voice Literary Supplement' Joseph Rykwert is one of the major architectural historians of this century, and 'The Dancing Column' is his most controversial and challenging work to date. A decade in preparation, it is a deeply erudite, clearly written, and wide-ranging deconstruction of the system of column and beam known as the 'orders of architecture, ' tracing the powerful and persistent analogy between columns and/or buildings and the human body.

Hardcover. Etat : Used - Good. Why do so few women occupy positions of power and prestige? Virginia Valian uses concepts and data from psychology, sociology, economics, and biology to explain the disparity in the professional advancement of men and women. According to Valian, men and women alike have implicit hypotheses about gender differences -- gender schemas -- that create small sex differences in characteristics, behaviors, perceptions, and evaluations of men and women. Those small imbalances accumulate to advantage men and disadvantage women. The most important consequence of gender schemas for professional life is that men tend to be overrated and women underrated. Book has minor shelf wear.…

Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Very Good. The ostensible subject of this inquiry is the primitive hut, a one-room structure built of common or rustic materials. Ann Cline gracefully weaves together two stories: one of primitive huts in times of cultural transition, and another of diminutive structures in our own time of architectural transition. From these narrative strands emerges a deeper inquiry: What are the limits of architecture? What ghosts inhabit its edges? What does it mean to dwell outside it? An exploration of the smallest and simplest of dwellings offers answers to some of the largest and oldest questions about architecture. Cline blends autobiography, historical research, and cultural criticism in an original and imaginative attempt to rethink architecture by studying its boundary conditions and formative structures. 61 illustrations. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.…
