Agustin Fernandez: The Metamorphosis of Experience
Milan, 5 Continents, 2012. Hardcover. A gray fabric casebound book. There is a dust jacket with the title in white down a black spine. Pages: (7), 8-256. Profusely illustrated with both color and black-and-white images. "At the time of his death in 2006, Agustin Fernandez ranked among Cuba's most outstanding artists. Defying simple categorization, today his work is most recognizable for its ambiguous and precariously balanced forms, erotic overtones, surreal juxtapositions, and metallic palette. In 1980 Brian de Palma's film "Dressed to Kill" famously included one of the artist's paintings, launching him into the public arena. This is the first comprehensive study of Fernandez's work, which has been exhibited and collected in major museums and private collections throughout Europe, the United States, and Latin America." Contents are as follows: Fetishized breast and the phallic woman: Agustín Fernández's surreal imagery: an introduction / Donald Kuspit -- Theater of cruelty: the impact of Parisian surrealism on Agustín Fernández / Susan L. Aberth -- Erotic encounters: Fernández and post-minimalism / Abigail McEwen -- Only in New York: Agustín Fernández and the aesthetics of subculture / Rocio Aranda-Alvarado -- I am a painter of the brush / Agustín Fernández. VG/VG: Exlibrary book. Small tear to the dust jacket on the back inside flap. Stamp on the title page. Stamp and sticker on back pasted end page. Stamp on top text block.

An Environmental History of the Middle Ages The Crucible of Nature
Routledge, 2013.. Stated first edition XVI + 326 p., notes, bibliogr., index SOFTCOVER: (Orig. paperback. READ but VERY GOOD )
¶ RARE and SOUGHT AFTER. Exploring the entire medieval period from 500 to 1500, and ranging across the whole of Europe, from England and Spain to the Baltic and Eastern Europe, John Aberth focuses his study on three key areas: the natural elements of air, water, and earth; the forest; and wild and domestic animals. Through this multi-faceted lens, An Environmental History of the Middle Ages sheds fascinating new light on the medieval environmental mindset. It will be essential reading for students, scholars and all those interested in the Middle Ages. This is the first survey of attitudes towards the environment in the Middle Ages, which was a critical and formative time for Western approaches to our natural surroundings. This was a time of fundamentally competing perspectives on the environment, with the belief that natural resources were put on earth for man's exploitation "at war" with the view that saw humankind as a steward of God's creation. Taking the entire medieval period from 500 to 1500 across the whole of Europe, from England and Spain across to the Baltic and Eastern Europe and focusing on the key areas of air, water, earth, wood and animals, John Aberth sheds new light on the medieval mindset which will be essential reading for all those interested in the Middle Ages.
