The complete Kennections [book on CD] / by Jennings, Ken,1974-author,narrator.(CARDINAL)355710;

Read by the author.Since 2012, Jeopardy! champion and host Ken Jennings has created a weekly puzzle--first appearing in Parade, then Mental Floss--involving a series of trivia questions whose answers have something in common. The trivia questions run the gamut of topics--from pop culture (movies, TV, music) to academic knowledge (history, geography, the arts) to lifestyle (food and drink, sports, hobbies). But the trickiest part might be finding the 'Kennection' that links all five answers. Many are standard trivia categories (D-Day beaches! Presidential middle names! Santa's reindeer! Batman villains!), but almost anything goes, so thinking outside the box is just as important as trivia knowledge. What do feet, McDonald's, fingerprints, and St. Louis have in common? They all have arches. What about Mercury, Chihuahuas, electrons, and Rhode Island? They're all the smallest of their kind. Columbia, Grease, and 'I Ran' (by A Flock of Seagulls)? They're homophones for nations of the world. For the first time, the Kennections canon is available in one convenient volume, with hundreds of new and updated quizzes.

Includes bibliographical references."The exhibition Paul Mpagi Sepuya is the first to survey more than a decade of the artist's practice. It offers the opportunity to trace visual, thematic, and conceptual connections across several bodies of work as well as to chart the artist's evolution in image-making. While we are privy to different strategies and varied nuances in his work, Sepuya consistently makes photographs that deconstruct traditional portraiture, challenging notions of 'sitter' and 'subject', and recasting the space, idea, and presence of the studio. His photographs feature friends, artists, collaborators, and himself, offering the perspective of a black, queer gaze. Figures are often rendered as abstractions through layering, fragmentation, mirror imagery, and shadow. Sometimes the body is represented only through traces left behind -- of fingerprints, impressions in a velvet backdrop, fingertips holding a drape. The portraits are movingly honest, made with no digital intervention; what you see is what was there. Sepuya's photographs expose their own making with the apparatus of photography as an integral part of the picture -- tripod, clamps, lenses, and the camera itself. The resulting work, covering multiple periods of Sepuya's career and life, reveals a profound intimacy between artist and sitters, reflecting a poignant generosity of spirit in its transparency."--Foreword, page 6.

Andy Warhol : prince of pop / by Greenberg, Jan,1942-(CARDINAL)349871; Jordan, Sandra(Sandra Jane Fairfax)(CARDINAL)349870;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 158-182) and index.Pittsburgh days, 1928-1940 -- Genuine as a fingerprint, 1941-1945 -- Why pick on me?, 1945-1949 -- Warhola to Warhol, 1950-1951 -- Making it, 1952-1959 -- Pop!, 1960-1961 -- Soup cans and celebrities, 1962 -- Fame!, 1963 -- Made in America, 1963-1964 -- The swinging silver factory, 1964 -- The prince of pop, 1964 -- Poor little rich girl, 1965 -- The Velvet Underground, 1966 -- Chelsea girls, 1966 -- Enter Fred Hughes, 1967 -- Shot!, 1968 -- Interview, 1969-1970 -- Putting my Andy on, 1970-1974 -- Andy Warhol Enterprises, 1975-1982 -- The last years, 1982-1987 -- Postscript.Andy Warhol, the Pittsburgh-bred son of Eastern European immigrants, is well known for his Pop Art masterpieces. But there is more to Warhol than that: he also made films, launched 'Interview' magazine, and forsaw the convergence of art, Hollywood fashion and business as the trend of the future. "In the future everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes." The Campbell's Soup Cans. The Marilyns. The Electric Chairs. The Flowers. The work created by Andy Warhol elevated everyday images to art, ensuring Warhol a fame that has far outlasted the 15 minutes he predicted for everyone else. His very name is synonymous with the 1960s American art movement known as Pop. But Warhol's oeuvre was the sum of many parts. He not only produced iconic art that blended high and popular culture; he also made controversial films, starring his entourage of the beautiful and outrageous; he launched Interview, a slick magazine that continues to sell today; and he reveled in leading the vanguard of New York's hipster lifestyle. The Factory, Warhol's studio and den of social happenings, was the place to be. Who would have predicted that this eccentric boy, the Pittsburgh-bred son of Eastern European immigrants, would catapult himself into media superstardom? Warhol's rise, from poverty to wealth, from obscurity to status as a Pop icon, is an absorbing tale-one in which the American dream of fame and fortune is played out in all of its success and its excess. No artist of the late 20th century took the pulse of his time-and ours-better than Andy Warhol. Praise for Vincent van Gogh: Portrait of an Artist: "This outstanding, well-researched biography is fascinating reading."1120LAccelerated Reader AR

Faustian bargains : Lyndon Johnson and Mac Wallace in the robber baron culture of Texas / by Mellen, Joan,author.(CARDINAL)122472;

Includes bibliographical references.Texans -- A Man of Good Character -- "He Must Be a Real Leader" -- Lyndon Johnson Betrays Richard M. Kleberg and George Parr Works His Magic -- Senator Lyndon Johnson -- Mac Wallace Goes to Washington Under The Auspices of Lyndon Johnson -- The Killing ofJohn Douglas Kinser -- Texas Justice -- Two Faustian Bargains : Little Lyndon and Billie Sol -- Enter the Office of Naval Intelligence -- Some Faustian Bargains Come Due : The Falls of Billie Sol Estes and Bobby Baker -- Mac Wallace in California -- President Lyndon Johnson, Part I -- President Lyndon Johnson and the USS Liberty : Lyndon Johnson as President, Part II -- Downward Spirals -- Billie Sol Estes Creates an Urban Legend -- The Fingerprint -- Epilogue -- Appendix: Evaluation and Comparison of Fingerprints."Perhaps no president has a more ambiguous reputation than LBJ. A brilliant tactician, he maneuvered colleagues and turned bills into law better than anyone. But he was trailed by a legacy of underhanded dealings, from his 'stolen' Senate election in 1948to kickbacks he artfully concealed from deals engineered with Texas wheeler-dealer Billie Sol Estes and defense contractors like his longtime supporter Brown & Root. On the verge of investigation, Johnson was reprieved when he became president upon JFK'sassassination. Among the remaining mysteries has been LBJ's relationship to Mac Wallace who, in 1951, shot a Texas man having an affair with LBJ's loose-cannon sister Josefa, also Wallace's lover. When arrested, Wallace cooly said 'I work for Johnson ...I need to get back to Washington.' Charged with murder, he was overnight defended by LBJ's powerful lawyer John Cofer, and though convicted, amazingly received a suspended sentence. He then got high-security clearance from LBJ friend and defense contractor D.H. Byrd, which the Office of Naval Intelligence tried to revoke for 11 years without success. Using crucial Life magazine and Naval Intelligence files and the unredacted FBI files on Mac Wallace, never before utilized by others, investigative writerJoan Mellen skillfully connects these two disparate Texas lives and lends stark credence to the dark side of Lyndon Johnson that has largely gone unsubstantiated"--
