A People's Art History of the United States places art history squarely in the rough-and-tumble of politics, social struggles, and the fight for justice from the colonial era through the present day. Author and radical artist Nicolas Lampert combines historical sweep with detailed examinations of individual artists and works in a politically charged narrative that spans the conquest of the Americas, the American Revolution, slavery and abolition, western expansion, the suffragette movement and feminism, civil rights movements, environmental movements, LGBT movements, antiglobalization movements, contemporary antiwar movements, and beyond. A People's Art History of the United States introduces us to key works of American radical art alongside dramatic retellings of the histories that inspired them. Stylishly illustrated with over two hundred images, this book is nothing less than an alternative education for anyone interested in the powerful role that art plays in our society."--Publisher information.

Owl / by Morris, Desmond,author.(CARDINAL)122231;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 198-203) and index.Prehistoric owls -- Ancient owls -- Medicinal owls -- Symbolic owls -- Emblematic owls -- Literary owls -- Tribal owls -- Owls and artists -- Typical owls -- Unusual owls -- Timeline -- Appendix: Classification of owls.From ancient Babylon and the Greek goddess Athena to Edward Lear's The Owl and the Pussycat; from Harry Potter's Hedwig and the grandiloquent, absent-minded Wol from Winnie the Pooh to David Lynch's Twin Peaks, owls are woven into the fabric of human culture. Beautiful, silent, pitiless predators of the night, these enigmatic beings dwell throughout the world yet barely make their presence known. For people, owls are contradictory beasts, at times depicted as dignified, wise old scholars and at other times as foreboding voyeurs who see all-omens both good and evil, in turn. In this fascinating book, best-selling author and broadcaster Desmond Morris explores the natural and cultural history of one of nature's most popular winged creatures.
