  A Disturbance in the Force - How...

  Even by the standards of the 1970s, even compared to Jar-Jar Binks, the legendary 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special is a peerlessly cringeworthy pop-culture artifact. George Lucas, who completely disowned the production, reportedly has said, "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it." Just how on earth did this thing ever see the light of day?To answer that question, as Steven Kozak shows in this fascinating and often hilarious inside look into the making of the Special, you have to understand the cultural moment in which it appeared—a long, long time ago when cheesy variety shows were a staple of network television and Star Wars was not yet the billion-dollar multimedia behemoth that it is today. Kozak explains how the Special was one piece of a PR blitz undertaken by Lucas and his colleagues as they sought to protect the emerging franchise from hostile studio executives. He shows how, despite the involvement of some of the most talented people in the business, creative differences between movie and television writers led to a wildly uneven product. Packed with memorable anecdotes, drawing on new interviews with countless people involved in the production, and told with mingled affection and bewilderment, this never-before-told story gives a fascinating look at a strange moment in pop-culture history.

  Stephen Rolfe Powell - Glassmaker

  This definitive volume vividly chronicles the glass artist’s remarkable work and unique methods as they evolved over the course of his career. 
   
  Internationally renowned glass artist Stephen Rolfe Powell created his work in a quiet outpost of rural Kentucky. The radiant murrini skins of his glass vessels have an old Italian pedigree, yet his techniques were radically American in their dramatic individuality. He stood among modern glass's most nuanced explorers of light and color. 
   
  The stunning photographs in this book showcase Powell's work from different viewpoints, highlighting the unique interactions of transparent, opaque, and translucent glass and Powell's bold color combinations. Photographic close-ups detail the luminous murrini patterns that became Powell's signature, revealing new ways of appreciating the complex interplay of color and texture in his art. 
   
  Biographical and analytical essays by Mark Lucas, Laurie Winters, and James Yood explore Powell's unique, team-based process; his teaching and learning experiences on the road, from the former Soviet Union to Salt Lake City during the Olympics; and the two freak injuries that deeply affected his approach to his work. Reflections by Kenn Holsten, Marvin Lipofsky, Dante Marioni, Bonnie Marx, John Roush, and Lino Tagliapietra further supplement the book.
