Portrait Painting Atelier: Old Master Techniques and Contemporary Applications

Watson-Guptill, 2010. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780823099276 Firmly bound, with clean unmarked pages; slight creasing to rear lower edge of jacket. A well-looked after copy. This is a professional book focused on foundational principles of art and illustrated by old and contemporary masters. It gives serious beginners to professional artists an in-depth understanding of the old masters' unparalleled approach to paint application. It includes ten detailed step-by-step portrait demonstrations. "Portrait Painting Atelier" provides serious artists with a course of instruction that demonstrates in step-by-step detail the old masters' technique of layering paint over a toned-ground surface, a process that builds from the transparent dark areas to the more densely painted lights. In this method, the tone of the ground serves to unify the overall painting as well as optically influencing the thinly applied layers of pigment, creating the effect of a beautiful glow that illuminates the skin tones and achieves a soft blending of colour tones. 208 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Art & Design; ISBN/EAN: 9780823099276. Inventory No: dscf11318.

Bryan Hanks, ed.

Social Complexity in Prehistoric Eurasia: Monuments, Metals and Mobility

Cambridge University Press, 2009. Hardcover. Fine Condition. 9780521517126 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages. Social Complexity in Prehistoric Eurasia challenges current interpretations of the emergence, development, and decline of social complexity in the steppe region of China and the former Soviet Union. Through a thematic investigation of archaeological patterns ranging from monument construction and use and production and consumption of metals to the nature of mobility among societies, the essays in this volume provide the most up-to-date thinking on social and cultural change in prehistoric Eurasia. Collectively, they challenge broader theoretical trends in Anglo-American archaeology, which have traditionally favored comparative studies of sedentary agricultural societies over mobile pastoralist or agro-pastoralist communities. By highlighting the potential and limitations of comparative studies of social complexity, this volume sets the agenda for future studies of this region of the world. It emphasizes how the unique nature of early steppe societies can contribute to more comprehensive interpretations of social trajectories in world prehistory. 438 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Bribes, Bullets, and Intimidation: Drug Trafficking and the Law in Central America

Penn State University Press, 2012. Softcover. Very Good Condition. 9780271048673 Slight wear to covers, clean unmarked pages. Bribes, Bullets, and Intimidation is the first book to examine drug trafficking through Central America and the efforts of foreign and domestic law enforcement officials to counter it. Drawing on interviews, legal cases, and an array of Central American sources, Julie Bunck and Michael Fowler track the changing routes, methods, and networks involved, while comparing the evolution and consequences of the drug trade through Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama over a span of more than three decades. Bunck and Fowler argue that while certain similar factors have been present in each of the Central American states, the distinctions among these countries have been equally important in determining the speed with which extensive drug trafficking has taken hold, the manner in which it has evolved, the amounts of different drugs that have been transshipped, and the effectiveness of antidrug efforts. 444 pages.

The earthly recordings of Sun Ra

Cadence Jazz Books, 1994. Softcover. Fine Condition. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight wear to cover edges. This is an exceptionally detailed discography as one would expect , but . the majority of the entries include additional footnotes and details about Sun Ra and the Arkestra's daily activities and travels including personal details and background information gleaned from countless discussions with band members, producers, close friends, etc. I must say this is an excellent substantive volume that I have enjoyed both as a reference work and as a book to peruse by selecting any part as an entry point. This is a must have work for anyone engaged in a "serious" study of Sun Ra!!! (Reader review) 246 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Inventory No: dscf11854.
