In support of his wildly successful TERRYWOOD, which opened in Los Angeles earlier in the year, Terry Richardson releases a comprehensive monograph fully detailing the exhibition. The volume consists of the artwork in the exhibition, documentation of the year-long process of building the exhibition and coverage of the opening night which has already attained legendary status as one the most important happenings in art since the turn of the century. In addition to Richardson's imagery, the book will be accompanied by texts from Jeffrey Deitch and Al Moran. Terry Richardson is one of the most prolifi c and compelling photographers of his generation. Known for his uncanny ability to cut to the raw essence of whomever appears before his lens, Richardson's vision is at once humorous, tragic, often beautiful, and always provocative. Born in New York City and raised in Hollywood, he began photographing his environment while attending Hollywood High School and playing in a punk rock b...

An excellent addition to Routledge's strong tradition of publishing exceptional books in heterodox economics, this innovative and groundbreaking volume draws on the work of Schumpeter, Marx and Sraffa, three of the most influential economists of all time. It bases value on a single, inwardly felt scarcity, the scarcity of life, which consumers scramble to experience more of through private possession of the product of socially contributed human time-space, in the form of knowledge embodied in commodities. This coercive urge, which appears outwardly as 'commodity fetishism', sets the context of 'utility' and self-interest, implicating consumers in the plunder of each other's toil and of the earth, showing that capitalistic growth surveys existential distress rather than welfare. Existential motivational uniformity joins the seemingly disparate individualistic pursuits into a race for growth, while markets promote variety and innovation. Markets assist consum...

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. Inspired by the myth of a man condemned to ceaselessly push a rock up a mountain and watch it roll back to the valley below, The Myth of Sisyphus transformed twentieth-century philosophy with its impassioned argument for the value of life in a world without religious meaning.

The names Harry Cohn, William Fox, Carl Laemmle, Louis B.

The Complete Book of Urban Combatives is based on what Lee Morrison teaches in his Urban Combatives (UC) curriculum. Morrison formed UC after 22 years of researching various Asian and Western methods of combat, incorporating the teachings of W.E. Fairbairn and E.A. Sykes, Charles Nelson, Geoff Thompson, Bob Kasper, and Kelly McCann, to name just a few. Morrison's reality-based UC is neither a sport nor an art. It is designed to counter street violence. Having been in his share of real blood-and-snot fights, first as a somewhat misguided youth and later as a doorman at pubs and nightclubs, Morrison knows that 30 seconds on the street is worth three years in the dojo any day of the week. His hard-earned experience also taught him that no one system has all the answers, necessitating that you keep an open mind and stay on the cutting edge of combatives. At UC, the essence of good self-protection is threefold: Master a few well-honed personal security concepts. Add a realistic understa...

The poems of Nocturnal-newly revised and expanded-are constellations to guide those on a journey of healing and self-discovery, no matter how dark the night. From @wilderpoetry comes a heavily expanded revised edition of Nocturnal, a collection of poetry and beautifully illustrated black-and-white imagery inspired by darkened days and sleepless nights. Poetry meets presentation in each of the four sections ("Dusk," "Northern Lights," "Howl," "Lucid Dreams,"), which trace the author's continuing journey of self-discovery while illuminating a path for others along the way. Ink stains, landscapes, dreamlike animals, blackened pages, and textured spreads create a multifaceted reading experience. And true to the moniker, these poems are linked by a motif of "the wild." Celebrating the art of self-love poetry with both word and image, Nocturnal will leave readers comforted, curious, and inspired to explore the world around them. ...

"Aquí un extracto de "Estoicismo y dureza mental" Durante la antigüedad surgieron un alto número de escuelas filosóficas, muchas de ellas aportaron grandes ideas de progresos para la humanidad de impacto tan relevante que aun en la actualidad muchos de esos pensamientos siguen vigentes, tal es el caso de la escuela de filosofía estoica, esta que se creyó desaparecida para los primeros siglos de la era presente, y pese a la realidad, que los registros literarios no son en cuantía, su pensamiento ha evolucionado con el paso de los años, y en pleno siglo XXI se está viviendo uno de los momentos más importantes del posible resurgimiento de esta sistema filosófico. En medio de la convulsión social que estamos atravesando en el mundo moderno, muchos han recurrido a ciertas escuelas de pensamientos cuyas teorías podrían generar la salvación que nuestra sociedad moderna requiere, por cierto, el estoicismo, cuyo valor principal para una sociedad como la moderna es el manejo adecu...

The way some introductory acting books are written, it seems that a literal leg break is your best option. In The Young Actor's Handbook, Jeremy Kruse, an actor, writer, producer, and director who teaches method acting, acting for camera, improvisation, and sketch comedy at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York, mends this mangled genre, distilling invaluable lessons and years of experience down to a lean, mean, intuitive hundred page primer.

This concise and pragmatic manual will guide and inform the young actor, beginning actor, novice acting teacher, or anyone who wants to understand acting through a broad and diverse survey of essential knowledge.
