In this beautiful book, Pulitzer Prize--winning musician andcomposer Wynton Marsalis draws upon lessons he's learned from alifetime in jazz-lessons that can help us all move to higherground. With wit and candor he demystifies the music that is thebirthright of every American and demonstrates how a realunderstanding of the central idea of jazz-the unique balancebetween self-expression and sacrifice for the common goodexemplified on the bandstand-can enrich every aspect of our lives,from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the schoolroom to CityHall. Along the way, Marsalis helps us understand the life-changingmessage of the blues, reveals secrets about playing-andlistening-and passes on wisdom he has gleaned from working withthree generations of great musicians. Illuminating and inspiring,Moving to Higher Ground is a master class on jazz and life,conducted by a brilliant American artist.

《中国美术院校教材：潘思同水彩画直观教材选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观教材。所谓直观教材就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观教材，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观教材中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观教材，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些教材印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱教材的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“

Before his untimely death in 1982, Lester Bangs was inarguablythe most influential critic of rock and roll. Writing inhyper-intelligent Benzedrine prose that calls to mind Jack Kerouacand Hunter S. Thompson, he eschewed all conventional thinking as hediscussed everything from Black Sabbath being the first trulyCatholic band to Anne Murray’s smoldering sexuality. In Mainlines,Blood Feasts, Bad Taste fellow rock critic John Morthland hascompiled a companion volume to Psychotic Reactions and CarburetorDung, the first, now classic collection of Bangs’s work. Here areexcerpts from an autobiographical piece Bangs wrote as a teenager,travel essays, and, of course, the music pieces, essays, andcriticism covering everything from titans like Miles Davis, LouReed, and the Rolling Stones to esoteric musicians like Brian Enoand Captain Beefheart. Singularly entertaining, this book is anabsolute must for anyone interested in the history of rock.

In this compelling book, Robert Coles, the celebrated Harvardprofessor and Pulitzer Prize–winning author, turns his attention topopular music legend Bruce Springsteen, and to the powerful impactSpringsteen’s work has had both on the lives of his audience and onthis country’s literary tradition. Coles places Springsteen in thepantheon of American artists—Walt Whitman, William Carlos Williams,Dorothea Lange, and Walker Percy, among others—who understood andwere inspired by their “traveling companions in time,” the ordinarypeople of their eras. With wisdom and a unique personal perspective, Coles exploresSpringsteen’s words as contemporary American poetry, and offersfirsthand accounts of how people interact with them: A truckerlistens to “Blinded by the Light” during long, lonely nights andreminisces about his mother; a schoolteacher is astonished when ausually silent student offers a comparison between “Nebraska” andConrad’s Heart of Darkness; a policeman responds to “Am

From Irving Berlin to Cy Coleman, from "Alexander's RagtimeBand" to "Big Spender," from Tin Pan Alley to the MGM soundstages,the Golden Age of the American song embodied all that was cool,sexy, and sophisticated in popular culture. For four glitteringdecades, geniuses like Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Cole Porter,and Harold Arlen ran their fingers over piano keys, enticingunforgettable melodies out of thin air. Critically acclaimed writerWilfrid Sheed uncovered the legends, mingled with the greats, andgossiped with the insiders. Now he's crafted a dazzling,authoritative history of the era that "tripled the world's totalsupply of singable tunes." It began when immigrants in New York'sLower East Side heard black jazz and blues-and it surged into anartistic torrent nothing short of miraculous. Broke but eager, IzzyBaline transformed himself into Irving Berlin, married an heiress,and embarked on a string of hits from "Always" to "Cheek to Cheek."Berlin's spiritual godson George Gershwin, in his brief buti

Rem Koolhaas (Rotterdam,1944)studied architecture at the AA in London--where he went on tobecome a lecturer--and at the IAUS in New York, during PeterEisenman's time there. Koolhaas has always been connected with thetheory of architecture, as lecturer at the innovative AA, as aspeaker, and with his published work: Delirious New York, aretrospective manifesto for Manhattan (1978) and the recent S, M,L, XL (1995). In 1972 Koolhaas set up the OMA (Office forMetropolitan Architecture), whose name clearly expresses theplanning intentions of the team, comprising Koolhaas, Elia and ZoeZenghelis, and Madelon Vriessendorp.

Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPDhomicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge. But hisfirst case is a little more than he bargained for. It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of aRolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what lookslike "trunk music," a Mafia hit. But the LAPD's organized crimeunit is curiously uninterested, and when Harry follows a trail ofgambling debts to Las Vegas, the case suddenly becomes more complex- and much more personal. A rekindled romance with an old girlfriend opens new perspectiveson the murder, and he begins to glimpse a shocking triangle ofcorruption and collusion. Yanked off the case, Harry himself issoon the one being investigated. But only a bullet can stop Harrywhen he's searching for the truth . . .

Hirshenson and Jenkins got their start casting for Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios. When the studio went bust, they opened their own office, the Casting Company, and their book reminisces about the many films they've cast, including Harry Potter and A Beautiful Mind; the actors they've discovered, such as Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Scarlett Johansson; and some of the A-list directors, like Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg, who hired them. Given the authors' credentials (they have been casting partners since 1981), consider the advice they offer blue-chip. They cover everything from how to handle a call-back to telling actors to send head shots "that actually look like you." Most important, never take anything personally. A great audition doesn't always translate into a role: there are many factors that determine the final decision, such as chemistry, preference and competition. These veteran insiders have a passion for casting major motion pictures, and they use meetings with famous people to il
