Go Fish - How to Win Contempt and Influence People

Mr. Fish

Sinossi

“Go Fish is that rarest of creatures: an essential collection of political cartoons.” —David Rees, author of Get Your War On   This volume of cartoons from the revered Mr. Fish (aka Dwayne Booth) spans politics, popular culture, economic disaster, and much more, and nobody—right, left, or middle—is safe from his razor-edged satire. Included are cartoons never previously published as well as original essays by Mr. Fish, whose work has appeared in such venues as Harper’s Magazine, Truthdig, the Los Angeles Times, TheAtlantic, and Vanity Fair.   “Fish’s work makes you want to do something—even if you’re not entirely sure what that something is—to change things for the better, and the feeling stays with you long after the book is closed.” —Verbicide Magazine   “A vibrant example of political cartooning as it is practiced at its heights. . . . Anyone who thinks political cartooning is stale need only take a closer look at this body of work. . . . Certifiably brilliant.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

Unravelling the Silk Road -...

Chris Aslan

Three textile roads tangle their way through Central Asia. The famous Silk Road united east and west through trade. Older still was the Wool Road, of critical importance when houses made from wool enabled nomads to traverse the inhospitable winter steppes. Then there was the Cotton Road, marked by greed, colonialism and environmental disaster.

At this intersection of human history, fortunes were made and lost through shimmering silks, life-giving felts and gossamer cottons. Chris Aslan, who has spent fifteen years living and working in the region, expertly unravels the strands of this tangled history and embroiders them with his own experiences of life in the heart of Asia.

1000 Paintings of Genius

Victoria Charles, Joseph Manca,...

From the early Renaissance through Baroque and Romanticism to Cubism, Surrealism, and Pop, these canonical works of Western Art span eight centuries and a vast range of subjects. Here are the sacred and the scandalous, the minimalist and the opulent, the groundbreaking and the conventional. There are paintings that captured the feeling of an era and those that signaled the beginning of a new one. Works of art that were immediately recognised for their genius, and others that were at first met with resistance. All have stood the test of time and in their own ways contribute to the dialectic on what makes a painting great, how notions of art have changed, to what degree art reflects reality, and to what degree it alters it. Brought together, these great works illuminate the changing preoccupations and insights of our ancestors, and give us pause to consider which paintings from our own era will ultimately join the canon.
