Exploring the career to date of artist and environmentalist Kurt Jackson (b. 1961), this visually rich publication has at its centre the artist and the natural world: Jackson's paintings are set in places that he has travelled to and explored regularly, and are created by an individual with a deep understanding of natural history and ecology, politics and environmental issues. Described in the "Financial Times" as 'one of Britain's most compelling contemporary painters', Jackson has had a distinguished career spanning almost thirty years. An Oxbridge graduate in zoology, Jackson travelled widely before settling in Cornwall in 1984 both to immerse himself in the arts and become more involved in his commitment to the environment. For Jackson, the fleeting impression is not of interest - in all his paintings his aim is to convey his feelings and sense of awareness of a particular environment that he knows intimately.Offering insights into the extensive range of materials and techniques that the artist uses, Kurt Jackson provides the definitive account of this fascinating artist's career to date and as such is essential reading for anyone interested in twenty-first century British art. ...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hard Target is a 1993 American action film directed by Chinese director John Woo. The film stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Chance Boudreaux, an out-of-work Cajun merchant seaman who saves a young woman, Natasha Binder (Yancy Butler), from a gang of thugs in New Orleans. Chance learns that Binder is searching for her missing father (Chuck Pfarrer), and agrees to aid Binder in her search. Boudreaux and Binder soon learn that Binder's father has died at the hands of wealthy sportsman Emil Fouchon who hunts homeless men as a form of recreation. Hard Target was John Woo's first American film and was also the first major Hollywood film made by a Chinese director. Universal Pictures was nervous on having Woo direct a feature, and sent in director Sam Raimi to look over the film's production and to take Woo's place as director if he were to fail. ... Read more

Extrait : Timothy Francis Leary, né le 22 octobre 1920 à Springfield dans le Massachusetts, décédé le 31 mai 1996 à Beverly Hills en Californie, est un écrivain américain, psychologue et militant pour l'utilisation scientifique des psychédéliques. Il est le plus célèbre partisan des bienfaits thérapeutiques et spirituels du LSD. Pendant les années 1960, il a inventé et popularisé le slogan « Turn on, tune in, drop out », synonyme de contestation et de libération. Timothy Leary est né à Springfield dans le Massachusetts, dans une famille de notables de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Il étudie pendant une courte période au College of the Holy Cross, à Worcester, Massachusetts, mais réagit mal à la discipline de cet établissement jésuite. Il fréquente également l'académie militaire de West Point, mais se fait renvoyer au bout de 18 mois. Il obtient une licence en psychologie à l'université d'Alabama en 1943, puis un doctorat en psychologie à l'université de Berkeley en 1950. Il devient professeur auxiliaire à Berkeley de 1950 à 1955, puis directeur de recherche de la fondation Kaiser (1955-1958), et conférencier en psychologie à l'université Harvard (1959-1963). Leary a décrit ces années avec dédain, se voyant comme : Une curieuse théorie de la reprogrammation du cerveau avec le LSD.En vacances au Mexique, il consomme des champignons hallucinogènes contenant de la psilocybine, une expérience qui changera radicalement le cours de sa vie.

Ok
The book's ok but the cover was very dirty (I had to windex the thing) and partially ruined. Other than the cover, the inside is fine. And everything else is fine.

Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons III
I read Kurt Vonnegut--not for his stories (though fun and interesting and. . .) but to see how he thinks. For me, the three books of collected (mostly) non-fiction: "Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons", "Palm Sunday", and this are his cream. God Bless you, Kurt Vonnegut; thanks for your gadget!

The fate we may face
FATES is Vonnegut near his best. Fully exhibiting a deft ability to shift through subjects, decades, moods and viewpoints, the work is a tour de force. Subtitled "A Collage of the 80s" it, like all of his better works, is a collage of his life and much more. Written during the "don't worry, be happy" Reagan era, the author reveals deep concern over the direction of this nation and the world, and offers personal glimpses of human suffering in Africa and Southeast Asia which reveal a profound humanitarianism. Asked to contribute to a 1988 time capsule destined for our heirs a century hence, he wrote that we should have carved this in "great big letters on a Grand Canyon wall," WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE SAVED OURSELVES, BUT WERE TOO DAMNED LAZY TO TRY VERY HARD. And then the afterthought, AND TOO DAMNED CHEAP.Something to think about as we count the probable cost of taming global warming, if it isn't already too late.

Vonnegut induces multiple male orgasms in males...
and it felt good. let me tell you it was a mind opener this book. i came five times and held the book up in praise while doing it hard and raw. do yourself a favor and pick up this, ridiculously funny and insightful, man's literature.

Peek Into Vonnegut's Head
These essays give us a rare look in to the mind of a genius.He expounds on subjects ranging from mental illness, family relationships, death and war.Sounds depressing, but an optimism shows through.Vonnegut masterfully points out the adsurdity around us and shines the light of sanity on it.The essays are as relevant and mind opening today as they were when he wrote them over a decade ago.Although this is not the Veonnegut work I would recommend to someone unfamiliar with his work, anyone will benefit from reading it. ...

Whitcomb, Carl Wieland, John Baumgardner, Georgia Purdom, Andrew Mcintosh. Excerpt:Andrew McIntosh is a chemical engineer and Professor of Thermodynamics and Combustion Theory at the University of Leeds . He is a scientist who disagrees with the mainstream scientific consensus on biological evolution . In September 2007, it was announced that McIntosh and University of Leeds scientists had developed a new technology known as µMist which is based on the gaseous "cannon" of the bombardier beetle. The technology is reported to have implications with "fuel injection, medical drug delivery systems, fire extinguishers and fire suppression." Creationism McIntosh is a young-earth creationist , and claims that his disagreements with mainstream science are based on empiricism. In a debate with Richard Dawkins on BBC Radio Ulster he stated his belief that the world was six thousands years old, that marine trilobites were made extinct by Noah's flood and that the Second Law of Thermodynamics contradicts the Darwinian theory of evolution . He is on the board of directors of Truth in Science , an organisation which promotes the teaching of Intelligent Design in British schools. In November 2006 the University of Leeds issued a statement distancing itself from creationism, and claimed that McIntosh's directorship of Truth in Science is unconnected with his teaching or research.
