  How can we interpret the work of contemporary artists? Focal Points is a new book series of essays, articles and reviews by acclaimed curator and critic Robert Storr. Expertly edited by art historian and curator Francesca Pietropaolo, and richly illustrated, it lends Storr’s illuminating insights into an artist’s practice and way of thinking across recent decades. Brilliantly scholarly, accessible and engaging, Focal Points offers fresh interpretations of the varied territory of modern and contemporary art. This second volume considers the work of American abstract painter Ad Reinhardt (1913–1967). Active in New York for over three decades, Reinhardt was part of the group of artists who became known as Abstract Expressionists, and he made work that would prove influential to the younger generation of Minimal and Conceptual artists. He believed in a philosophy of what he called ‘art-as-art’ and used his writing and satirical cartoons to advocate for abstract art. As he famously wrote in 1962: ‘Art is art-as-art and everything else is everything else.’ In this volume, Storr discusses Reinhardt’s painting, his comics, and his slide lecture series or ‘non-happenings, ’ as the artist called them.

  A one-of-a-kind collection including some never-before-seen photographs of the wild and unforgettable WHA from legendary sports photographer Steve Babineau
  		
  		 
  On October 12, 1972, legendary Boston sports photographer, Steve Babineau, was in attendance for the debut of the New England Whalers. They were taking on the Philadelphia Blazers at the old Boston Garden — and Babs was shooting the action. Fifty years later, he’s still photographing big-league sports events — but this lovingly curated collection documents both his earliest published (and unseen) works and the wild emergence of the colorful, revolutionary, wild, and unforgettable WHA.
  		 
  In an era when rolls of film still had to be changed by hand and cameras were focused manually, when arena lighting was questionable and images had to be captured through the haze produced by smoking fans, Babineau captured it all: the timeless legends who were finally getting paid, the journeymen who finally got a shot at the pros, the 17-year-old who would go on to rewrite record books, the brawls and goals, the glorious ’staches and flows, the highs and the lows …
  		 
  Behind the Lens: The World Hockey Association 50 Years Later has the Golden Jet and the Howes, the teams that seemed to change names and cities as often as some players changed wooden sticks, and even the true origin story of that Wayne Gretzky photo that’s become the million-dollar holy grail for sports card collectors.

  Human civilization is fundamentally a story of movement, migration, and collective settlement—with cities emerging as the most complex and dynamic manifestations of our collective human experience. From ancient settlements clustered around rivers and trade routes to today's sprawling global metropolises, urbanization represents a profound transformation of how humans organize, interact, and envision community. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate narrative of The History of Urbanization, the multifaceted Impacts of Urban Growth, and the emergence of Global Cities, tracing the remarkable journey of human settlement from isolated communities to interconnected, sophisticated urban ecosystems. 
  The evolution of cities is far more than a chronological progression of architectural and infrastructural development; it is a nuanced story of social adaptation, economic innovation, and human resilience. By examining the historical trajectories, contemporary challenges, and future potentials of urban growth, this book reveals the complex mechanisms that drive metropolitan transformation. Readers will journey through the social, economic, technological, and cultural forces that shape urban landscapes—uncovering how global cities emerge as crucibles of human potential, where demographic shifts, technological innovations, economic dynamics, and cultural exchanges converge to create living, breathing environments that continually redefine the boundaries of human collective experience.
