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

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.

《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，“

PAUL C?ZANNE (1839-1906) is an important figure in the progressof modern European painting. In his dedicated concern with form andstructure, he stands apart from the mainstream of Impressionistpainting, extending its range into a new art of visualanalysis. Cézanne, sensitive and shy, shunned the Parisian café society ofhis fellow artists, preferring to live and work alone in his nativeProvence which provided the inspiration for so many of hispaintings. Less immediately appealing to a wider audience than, forexample, Monet and Degas, Cézanne is nonetheless of immenseimportance through the influence he exerted on so many of theartists who followed him, such as Picasso and Matisse. Blessed with financial independence through the efforts of hisbanker father, he fortunately enjoyed a freedom to pursue his artwithout the demands of making a living felt by so many of hisfellow artists.
