Sinossi

In "The Art and the Romance of Indian Basketry," Clark Field elegantly intertwines traditional craftsmanship with cultural narratives, offering readers an in-depth exploration of Native American basketry as both an art form and a reflection of indigenous identity. Employing a lyrical narrative style that balances meticulous descriptions with rich historical context, Field draws upon extensive research and personal anecdotes to illuminate the intricate techniques and symbolism embedded in various basket-making practices across different tribes. This work not only highlights the aesthetic qualities of the baskets but also engages with their significance in social and spiritual realms, situating them within broader themes of cultural preservation and adaptation. Clark Field, a scholar and long-time advocate for Native American arts, brings a unique perspective to this subject, shaped by his extensive travels and friendships with indigenous artisans. His academic background in anthropology and art history facilitates a nuanced understanding of the interplay between art and culture, which is central to the narratives woven throughout the book. Field'Äôs passion for indigenous arts is evident in his commitment to showcasing the stories and lives of the artisans behind the baskets, thereby fostering greater appreciation for their heritage and legacy. This book is an essential read for those interested in Native American culture, art history, or the intricacies of traditional craftsmanship. Field'Äôs insightful reflections and evocative prose invite readers to reconsider the role of everyday objects as vessels of history and storytelling. Whether you are an academic, artist, or simply a curious reader, "The Art and the Romance of Indian Basketry" will enrich your understanding of the profound connections between art and identity.

CLAMPdown - The lowdown on the...

Ian Wolf

Read the only book containing an appendix of eye losses, makes reference to hand gel depicting a gay assassin, and to compare a group of all-women Japanese comic book artists to a German electronic band. 
In early 2020, Ian Wolf - manga critic in print and online, autistic comedic data specialist, and some time question writer for Richard Osman's House of Games - decided that the best way to keep himself occupied while Britain was in Covid lockdown was to write a humorous book about his favorite manga artists - CLAMP... the women behind such works as Cardcaptor Sakura, xxxHOLiC, X and Magic Knight Rayearth. 
If you want to find out why the cases of the CLAMP School Detectives sound like challenges from Taskmaster, why almost everything in Magic Knight Rayearth is named after a car, why the British Museum illustrated their manga exhibit using the soft-core lesbian manga Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, or why the Cardcaptor Sakura Kinomoto's best friend has more than a whiff of The Fast Show's 13th Duke of Wybourne about her, this is the book for you.

Bucket to Greece - Volume 4

V.D. Bucket

The delightfully comic account of a British couple and their imported cats starting over in a new country continues in Bucket to Greece Volume 4. The atmosphere is tense in the Bucket household, with Barry and Cynthia, or specifically Cynthia and her vile mutant cat, having outstayed their welcome. The race is on for them to find somewhere to live before their imminent wedding. Harold's house has potential, but Barry needs Victor's help to take advantage of the obnoxious Brit. 
 
 
 
With chickens to tend and local politics to break into, Victor discovers retirement offers little time for lazing about. He takes to the sea, repping on the lazy day cruise in the company of the ouzo loving Kapetanios Vasos and his mute sidekick Sami, and crams up on Greek aphrodisiacs to prepare for a gastronomic excursion. Victor schemes to rid the house of superfluous kittens, hatches a plot to ensure the local taverna isn't turned into a tourist attraction, and lends a hand with the search when Spiros' uncle Leo goes on the missing list. Spiros, courting the fragrant Sampaguita, introduces her to the exciting ex-pat scene of inedible foreign dinners; Milton is targeted by vanity publishing scammers, and a stubborn sheep stalks the streets of Meli.
