A Day in the Life of the Amish


Bob Ottum - 1994
    The result is very appealing. I enjoyed my day with the Amish, astounded by the amount of work they achieved, and charmed by the gentle humor with which they accomplished their daily chores.The one-day diaries were recorded during the peak of the harvest and canning season, and Monday was also wash day in most of the Amish households. From Wyoming to New York, the wash went out onto clotheslines, cows were milked and fed while Orion and the Moon were still bright in the sky, one family--with plenty of help from friends and relatives--was preparing for 500 wedding guests, and of course, children all over the country were bundled off to one-room school-houses on foot, by buggy or school bus.One Amish lady who runs a bulk grocery store in Minnesota sold flour, yeast, oatmeal and a 60-pound pail of corn syrup to another woman who was having "church next Sunday and needs to do a lot of baking." This book lovingly details the breakfasts, dinners, and suppers eaten by the diarists on October 4, 1993 and by the end of the book I was extremely hungry. One family had 60 guests for a supper that included "scalloped potatoes with ham, dressing, ham and cheese sandwiches, vegetable pizza, Jell-O apple salad, cream cheese pudding, cherry and raspberry pie and ice cream." Plain food you might say, but abundant and home-cooked.

The Hadj: An American's Pilgrimage to Mecca


Michael Wolfe - 1994
    One of the world’s longest-lived religious rites, having continued without break for fourteen hundred years, it is, like all things Islamic, shrouded in mystery for Westerners. In The Hadj, Michael Wolfe, an American who converted to Islam, recounts his own journey a pilgrim, and in doing so brings readers close to the heart of what the pilgrimage means to a member of the religion that claims one-sixth of the world’s population. Not since Sir Richard Burton’s account of the pilgrimage to Mecca over one hundred years ago has a Western writer described the Hadj in such fascinating detail.

An Adirondack Passage: The Cruise of the Canoe Sairy Gamp


Christine Jerome - 1994
    More than a century before, in 1883, the Sairy Gamp had been paddled and portaged through the Adirondacks by a sixty-one-year-old writer named George Washington Sears (his pen name was Nessmuk). The more Jerome learned about Sears, the more she wanted to follow his route, despite her lack of canoeing or camping experience. In August 1990 she embarked in a nine-foot canoe made of Kevlar and, with her husband, John, accompanying her in a slightly larger boat, set off to retrace Sears's journey. An Adirondack Passage is part social history, part natural history, part biography of Sears, and part chronicle of a voyage. Summer turns to fall while the Jeromes make their way north, through sunshine and storms, down cottage-lined lakes and lonely, wild streams. Gusting winds bully their lightweight canoes and by mid-September the days are colder and shorter, but the longer they paddle, the more attached they become to the beauty around them. Canada geese fly overhead, monarch butterflies flutter southward, and on the larger lakes, young loons gather for their first migration to the sea. Along the way the author pauses to tell us what Sears saw when he passed by and what happened to his favorite haunts in the ensuing century. As the history of the region unfolds we meet hermits and millionaires, hunting guides and society women, hotelkeepers and dime-novel writers, and one lost dancing bear. Christine Jerome has given us a memorable wilderness experience that readers who have never even lifted a canoe paddle will find invigorating.

For a young American woman caring for a family in Lebanon and Egypt, life was like nothing she had ever known, but Ann Kerr approached it with a sense of adventure, which would help her deal with the beauty, chaos, and the ultimate horror of life during the country's most volatile years of the last three decades. The personal saga of her family and the events surrounding her husband's untimely death merge with the political episodes that have shaped U.S.-Arab relations since World War II.

Rivers Of Eden: The Struggle For Water And The Quest For Peace In The Middle East


Daniel J. Hillel - 1994
    But the hope of a settlement stands on much shakier ground than the participants suspect, says scientist Daniel Hillel. What they don't see, and what most observers overlook, is that the severely wounded environment of the region threatens to undercut any long-lasting accord. The widespread destruction of vegetation and natural habitats, the erosion of uplands, the desertification of semiarid areas, waterlogging and salinization of valleys, and, most of all, the depletion and pollution of precious water resources--no political formula will promote lasting peace in the Middle East, argues Hillel, unless it addresses these ills. In Rivers of Eden, Hillel examines this natural crisis and explores its crucial role in the political and economic future of this troubled region. He shows how environmental degradation, exacerbated by an uncontrolled explosion of population, is itself a cause of strife in the area, dislocating and disorienting countless people and fomenting despair and extremism. And yet, he adds, since no one country in the region can solve its water problem alone, the very cause of conflict is also an inducement for promoting peace. This hope illuminates Rivers of Eden as it traces the vital issue of water in the Middle East, ranging from its first appearance in folklore and religion to the present. As Hillel shows, the history of civilization in the Middle East is in many ways the story of how societies in this arid environment managed or mismanaged their land and water resources. Here we see how this history plays out from intertribal rivalty (for instance, the legendary War of Basoos, begun over the errant trespass of a thirsty camel), to the choking of the mighty Nile at Aswan and the slow, salt-poisoned death of Mesopotamia. From the historical and scientific circumstances of the region's water resources, Hillel turns to conflicts brewing even now over the waters of the Euphrates-Tigris, the Nile, the Jordan, and several groundwater aquifers. The future welfare of the Middle East, as of many economies around the world, depends on timely action to resolve these issues. This book offers hope for such a resolution. A world renowned environmental scientist, Hillel has worked throughout the Middle East, as consultant to the governments of Israel, Pakistan, the Sudan, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and elsewhere, and as an advisor to the World Bank. He brings first-hand insight to his account and an urgent concern for the degraded Fertile Crescent, which he believes can and must be rehabilitated. Comprehensive, penetrating, and clear, his book compels the attention of anyone interested in the future of the Middle East and of the environment at large.

Canaletto: Colour Library


Christopher Baker - 1994
    In the words of one of his contemporaries, Canaletto had the power to paint so that 'the eye is deceived and truly believes it is the real thing it sees'. Apprenticed to his artist father, Canaletto began his career as a scene-painter. He spent his formative years in Venice and is best known for his depictions of the buildings, canals and festivals of his native city, but he also spent several years in England, where he painted many stunning London scenes, including Westminster Bridge, Whitehall and the Old Horse Guards, as well as views of Warwick Castle and Eton College.

Living in Istanbul


Kenizé Mourad - 1994
    Stretching along both sides of the Bosporus from the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea, it occupies one of the most extraordinary geographical locations on earth. Vestiges of the diverse cultures that have flourished here-- Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman-- survive in modern Istanbul, where different quarters are still divided by what the Byzantine poet Procopius once called a 'garland of waters.' In this superb volume, the authors reveal the unique lifestyle and hidden splendours of Istanbul, inciting us to discover an infinite variety of charming private homes, delicate wooden "yalis," and magnificent palaces on the European and Asian shores of the Bosporus. These sumptuous dwellings-- whether modern or traditional, intimate or spectacular-- are imbued with the magic of the water and light, of copper and wood, and a sophisticated combination of Eastern and Western influences. Plunging into the daily life of the bustling city, the exotic Covered Bazaar and celebrated Egyptian Market beckon, where, after sampling the delicious local products, tired visitors may pause for a refreshing glass of tea in a sidewalk café . In the "hans"-- former caravan depots which now serve as workshops for traditional craftsmen-- kilims, carpets, painted tiles, and other marvelous creations abound, and the sacred art of calligraphy is still practiced. Stunning photographs by Jé rô me Darblay, specially commissioned for this volume, unveil the secrets of this ancient city, while an extensive visitor's guide to hotels, restaurants, traditional shops, museums and other attractionsprovides information for the discriminating traveller to discover Istanbul's thousand-and-one delights.

Hold the Heights: The Foundations of Mountaineering


Walt Unsworth - 1994
    The notion of climbing mountains for pure pleasure was slow to take hold, despite the intrepid ascent of Mont Aiguille by a fifteenth-century French courtier. For all its cloak of scientific respectability, the race for Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in western Europe, held all the seeds of later mountaineering controversy - sponsorship, competition, mixed motives, chauvinism, accusations of bad faith, and unresolved recrimination. But it was a beginning. By the middle of the next century all the great Alpine summits had been climbed and, on the Matterhorn in 1865, climbing had suffered its first sensational disaster. Queen Victoria wondered if she should put a stop to it. Fortunately, she was counselled otherwise. In Hold the Heights, Walt Unsworth presents a comprehensive history of world mountaineering, from the first recorded ascent to the conquests of Everest and Nanga Parbat in 1953 - milestone ascents that ushered in new eras of exploration. Beginning with a major reassessment of the late-Victorian Alpine Club worthies, Unsworth then traces how the initiative passed from the British pioneers to European climbers, as elegance of route and rock-climbing skill came to the fore and mountaineering shifted from stamina to athleticism. He examines the emergence of technical climbing from the Dolomites, the influence of the Munich School through the thirties, the assaults on the great north faces by climbers whose brilliance was rewarded with medals from Hitler. Beyond Europe, the exploratory style of climbing favored by the British held sway much longer in the great ranges of the Himalaya and the Karakoram, asMallory, Irvine, Mummery and the like lost their lives in contests against the unknown effects of high-altitude on man. From this vast frontier comes the story of the British obsession with Everest, the Germans' with Nanga Parbat, and the exploits of the Italians and Americans on K2, as

Treasures of the Musee Picasso, Paris


Gerard Regnier - 1994
    As Gerard Regnier, the museum's director, notes in his informative introduction, "The magic of the Musee Picasso also stems from the silent dialogue between the work and the place-one of the most beautiful townhouses in Paris." Perhaps no artist in the entire history of art has proven more compelling than Picasso, and the museum dedicated to his life's work has attracted vast crowds from the moment it opened. This dazzling little volume encompasses every aspect of his own work in all media-painting, sculpture, collages, ceramics, sculptures, and drawings-as well as the work by other artists in his impressive personal collection. Other Details: 300 full-color illustrations 320 pages 4 x 4" Published 1999would be comprehensive. In addition, some other pieces have been distributed to various French museums. As a result, French collections of Picasso's work now complement each other amazingly well, and they in turn are complemented by the Museo Picasso in Barcelona. But the Musee Picasso remains the artist's "studio," and, as Roland Penrose once said, an "alchemist's laboratory would look dull in comparison." Following the death of the painter's last wife, Jacqueline, a second dation took place in 1990. This time the choice was made to strengthen the collection by adding forty-seven paintings, two sculptures, about forty drawings, twenty-four sketchbooks, nineteen ceramics, two hundred forty-five prints and lithographs, and one papier colle by Georges Braque. The museum's imposing gallery of portraits reaches its zenith with the 1954 Jacqueline with Crossed Hands (page 113). The twenty-four sketchbooks (six of which had been previously unknown) comprise eleven hundred leaves, allowing one to retrace a creative process as it developed over the course of eighty years. Some pieces from this second dation were deposited in twenty-one museums outside Paris, as well as at the Musee National d'Art Moderne, the Department of Prints of the Bibliothèque Nationale, and the Musee de Sèvres—all in Paris. In addition, the Musee National d'Art Moderne made a long-term loan to the Musee Picasso of Portrait of Gustave Coquiot; a large gouache, Three Dutch Girls; and some pieces given to the State by Michel and Louise Leiris in 1984, including the 1914 sculpture Glass of Absinthe and the 1955 portrait Jacqueline in Turkish Costume. The Musee Picasso has also received bequests from individuals, such as Three Figures under a Tree of 1906-7, donated in 1986 by the heir of Douglas Cooper, and among the manuscripts, Picasso's 1915 letter to Andre Salmon (page 240). It also purchased some pieces, such as Composition with Butterfly of 1932 (page 147), so beloved by the Surrealist Andre Breton, and Portrait of Apollinaire with Bandaged Head (page 244), formerly in the poet's estate. D. H. Kahnweiler bequeathed Still Life with a Razor Strop of 1909. Celestina (page 24), a major milestone of the Blue Period, was added to the museum's collection in 1990, as a result of negotiations with the collector Fredrik Roos. The Musee Picasso thus displays an abundance of works; the few missing aspects of the artist's career are represented by allusion or by substitution. For example, since the museum does not own any large Cubist compositions, it retraces the stages of Cubism by using smaller works and drawings combined with collages, such as the famous Still Life with Chair Caning (page 38). Generally speaking, the paintings of the Blue and Rose periods are not well represented but works from the 1920s and 1930s abound, and the second dation balanced the collection through a massive representation of paintings from the latter period. The papiers colles and the constructions are the true strength of the museum for the Cubist period of 1912-15. The same is true for the relief paintings: the museum has the most complete collection of this type of object, missing pieces only from 1937-38. Picasso kept all of his sculptures, and thus their importance within his oeuvre has been acknowledged only recently. The museum's collection is unequaled: it owns practically all of the artist's unique pieces. The 1907 Head of a Man (page 154), from the second dation, allowed the completion of the period immediately preceding Cubism. As for ceramics, all eighty-eight pieces of the first dation are unique. Finally, the drawings at the Musee Picasso form an exceptional ensemble (with a few gaps in the period after 1956): these are the works par excellence with which the artist never parted. Once again, the curators decided to "retain the large compositions and not to break up the ensembles," according to Dominique Bozo. Of his printed work, Picasso had kept all the single prints and all the prints published in limited editions. The museum owns the preparatory states, the engraved copper plates and all the final plates for the Vollard Series (donated by Roger and Madeleine Lacourière) and the model for Song of the Dead by Pierre Reverdy. The second dation, notably, brought in two sketchbooks for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and a number of studies for Three Women. The magic of the Musee Picasso also stems from the silent dialogue between the work and the place—the Hôtel Sale, one of the most beautiful townhouses in the Marais section of Paris. Each enhances the other through subtle correspondences—appropriately, since Picasso had always lived in old houses. The Hôtel Sale was built in 1656-59 for Pierre Aubert, a salt-tax collector (hence the building's nickname, Hôtel Sale or "salted house"). In its current state, beautifully renovated by the architect Roland Simounet, it offers a multitude of different period styles. The magnificent central staircase was decorated by Gaspard and Balthasar Marsy, brothers who also worked at Versailles, and by Martin Desjardins. Later, when the building was chosen to house the Picasso collection, Diego Giacometti was commissioned to complete part of the decoration, including the chandeliers and the furnishing of the galleries. The architecture has dictated the itinerary inside the museum—at times chronological, at other times thematic, with the garden used to display a few sculptures. The result is that the Hôtel Sale has become a museum fit for what Gaëton Picon called "the Picasso civilization, that Louvre from another planet." Author Biography: Gerard Regnier is director of the Musee Picasso.
