  Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), who can be assigned to the school of classical modernism, was born in Amersfort, Netherlands. After studying in Amsterdam, he started his artist´s career in the impressionist style as a figure and landscape painter. His works from these years showed the influence of Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) and of Fauvism, a French school from the beginning of the 20th century. When he traveled to Paris in 1911, he discovered Pablo Picasso´s works (1881-1973) and, with that, Cubism. He thereafter became a pioneer of abstract painting in the Netherlands. From the 1920s on, his paintings show a vertical and horizontal composition that, combined with the oppositions of blue, yellow, red, and noncolored spaces, turned into his trademark. His art was very appreciated in New York, where he spent his last years. Mondrian was not only a painter but also an art theoretician and cofounder of the art school De Stijl.

  A funny, poignant look at how horse sense has brought one woman wisdom about life and leadership: “You’ll enjoy this book.”—Buck Brannaman, author of The Faraway Horses   Horses teach life’s great lessons—about the importance of consistency, the value of leading by respect instead of dominance, the wisdom of practicing patience instead of trying to force things. Horsewoman and author Cheryl Kimball uses endearing real-life stories of working with horses to reveal what these remarkable animals have taught her about managing a company, being a leader for employees in times of trouble, and living everyday life more deeply and authentically.   You don’t need a horse to apply the life lessons of Horse Wise. Sharing entertaining and enlightening stories, Kimball explains how the lessons learned from the horse world apply to the world of people and our relationships with each other—and ourselves. When we put ourselves in a horse’s shoes, we gain compassion and wisdom—and we get what we need.

  The image of a little red caboose trundling along behind a long freight train is a classic slice of Americana. With the help of nearly 300 marvelous modern and historical images depicting cabooses of all colors, this collection traces the development of this iconic, bygone rolling stock from the nineteenth century to their almost total demise by the mid-1990s. Bobber, cupola, bay window, and transfer cabooses are shown at work across the United States, in the process presenting the grand geographic scope of North American railroading. The photography is accompanied by detailed captions discussing caboose construction, function, history, and locations depicted.
