Leo Villa's Bluebird Album

Transport Bookman Publications, 2007. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780851840710 Clean unmarked pages, firm binding; slight shelfwear to jacket edges. Complete with 3-D glasses. I cannot rate this book highly enough. It is wonderful. I thought that the first time I saw it in March 2007, and I still think that. The finest collection of wonderful colour photographs charting the historic record breaking exploits of Donald Campbell and his Bluebird team. This is a very important book, for without it, the record of Campbell's exploits in colour, would never have been able to be told. A must have for anyone with even a passing interest in this subject. The photographs, both black and white and colour, with many taken by Leo Villa - Campbell's chief engineer, are historical gems. (Reader review) 256 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

When Death Enters the Therapeutic Space: Existential Perspectives in Psychotherapy and Counselling

Routledge, 2008. Softcover. Very Good Condition. 9780415416559 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, some light corner creasing and wear to pages and covers. "Though mourning and intimations of mortality often enter the therapeutic space, few psychotherapy books focus on this. At the same time, the therapeutic input into UK palliative services is often not strategically thought through, not the least because of voluntary sector involvement with NHS services. This book is therefore a welcome exploration of therapeutic practice when dealing with death... As a consultant practitioner in the field, I can see myself using this book as part of an educational programme. It is a valuable contribution to the ongoing development of this specialism within the therapeutic field." - Ana Draper, Mortality, Vol. 14, No. 4, November 2009 254 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Francis Ames-Lewis

The Intellectual Life of the Early Renaissance Artist

Yale University Press, 2000. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780300083040 Previous owner's name and date inscribed to half-title page, contents otherwise clean and unmarked; noticeable loss of color to spine of jacket. At the beginning of the fifteenth century, painters and sculptors were seldom regarded as more than artisans and craftsmen, but within little more than a hundred years they had risen to the status of "artist". This book explores how early Renaissance artists gained recognition for the intellectual foundations of their activities and achieved artistic autonomy from enlightened patrons. A leading authority on Renaissance art, Francis Ames-Lewis traces the ways in which the social and intellectual concerns of painters and sculptors brought about the acceptance of their work as a liberal art, alongside other arts like poetry. He charts the development of the idea of the artist as a creative genius with a distinct identity and individuality. 326 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Art & Design; ISBN/EAN: 9780300083040.
