You can never die : a graphic memoir / by Bliss, Harry,1964-author.(CARDINAL)274702;
"Renowned New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss loved his sweet dog Penny, a joyful part of his life for 17 years. Every day that he cared for his beloved pet, Harry joked with her, talked to her, and drew the adorable creature--Penny's presence is unmistakably, hilariously incorporated into the iconic cartoons of his career. In one, he gazes up at the night sky, remarking on the vastness of outer space, while she digs into the ground, unbothered, fuzzy tail wagging in the air. Harry grew up in upstate New York to a family of artists, a rowdy and turbulent bunch, and attended art school in Philadelphia. A therapist once suggested that perhaps when he looked at Penny, he saw himself as a child, innocent and facing unanticipated heartbreak. As Harry must grieve Penny's loss, he reflects on his parents in their later years, his love for his wife and home, and the colorful artists, friends, and mentors who have shaped him. With humor and gut-wrenching honesty, You Can Never Die is an intimate portrayal of a man making sense of the beautiful and painful world around him. This singular memoir integrates sharply-crafted, witty stories with hundreds of gorgeous cartoons and never-seen-before sketches from Bliss' extraordinary career"--

Martha Clippinger : sour-sweet / by Clippinger, Martha,1983-artist.(CARDINAL)885559; Westfall, Stephen,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)223845; Elizabeth Harris Gallery,issuing body,host institution.(CARDINAL)265254;
"In sour-sweet, the artist presents her painted wood constructions and handwoven wool tapetes together, revealing varied surface textures and shifts in scale across her practice. Clippinger's rhythmic arrangements of colors result from an improvisational and adaptive process. With her painted wood constructions, each object embodies a chance encounter with singular materials. Clippinger embraces the inherent imperfections of the found materials and integrates them into the off-kilter structures of her designs. These irregular geometries inspire two-dimensional designs that are translated into wool by weavers Licha González Ruiz and Agustín Contreras López of Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico." -- Summary taken from exhibition webpage:"Born and raised in Columbus, Georgia, Martha Clippinger received a BA from Fordham University and an MFA from Mason Gross School of Art, Rutgers University. She is the recipient of numerous grants and awards, including a 2017 Ella Fountain Pratt Emerging Artists Grant from the Durham Arts Council, a 2014 American Academy of Arts and Letters Purchase Award, and a 2013 Fulbright-Garcia Robles research grant completed in Oaxaca, Mexico. She has been a fellow at Kohler Arts & Industry, the Sam and Adele Golden Art Foundation, Artspace, MacDowell Colony, Edward F. Albee Foundation, and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation. Her work has been featured in The Brooklyn Rail, Hyperallergic, and The Huffington Post, and is in public collections such as The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art and The Columbus Museum. Clippinger is represented by Elizabeth Harris Gallery in New York and Hodges Taylor in Charlotte, NC. She lives and works in Durham, North Carolina." -- Biography from:

C. Vann Woodward : America's historian / by Cobb, James C.(James Charles),1947-author.(CARDINAL)161410;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The legendary historian -- Another Mark Twain if he applied himself: the superintendent's son spreads his wings -- A Southern historian I must be -- or somehow become: a budding biographer makes hard choices -- History, I find, is a collection of facts: pursuing the "cursed degree" in Chapel Hill -- A better read than Huxley's new novel: telling the Tom Watson story -- A chance to have my say about the period: the origins of "Origins" -- Juleps for the few and pellagra for the crew: reckoning with the redeemer -- New South legacy -- Cordially invited to be absent: integrating the Southern Historical Association -- A fundamental attack upon the prevailing view: launching "The strange career of Jim Crow" -- Wrong in all its major parts: "Strange career" returns to Earth -- A basis for criticizing the American legend: Southern history as both asset and burden -- Tortured for months: the agony of moving to Yale -- Therapist of the public mind: the strange career of C. Vann Woodward -- I mean to do all I can: the mentor flexes his muscles -- An ever more conservative old liberal: moving to the right or standing fast? -- I do not see how I could have been misunderstood: sorting out the Aptheker debacle -- The masterpiece that became a hoax (and won a Pulitzer): rewriting Mary Chesnut's diary -- Still more that I can do: the satisfactions of staying the course -- America's historian."With an epic career that spanned two-thirds of the twentieth century, C. Vann Woodward (1908-1999) was a historian of singular importance. A brilliant writer, his work captivated both academic and public audiences. He also figured prominently in the major intellectual conflicts between left and right during the last half of the twentieth century, although his unwavering commitment to free speech and racial integration that affirmed his liberalism in the 1950s struck some as emblematic of his growing conservatism by the 1990s."--

Masters of violence : the plantation overseers of eighteenth-century Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia / by Stubbs, Tristan,author.(CARDINAL)835907;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The overseer performed a role of singular importance to the plantation economies of the eighteenth-century South. Ultimately the responsibility for a profitable return on his employer's investment in land and human property fell to him, ahead of the estate steward or planter's agent, both of whom were superior in the management hierarchy. Stubbs's book contends that eighteenth-century overseeing is integral to understanding the development of slaveholder paternalism in the nineteenth century"--

Be [2.0] turning your business into an enduring great company / Jim Collins and Bill Lazier. by Collins, Jim,author.(CARDINAL)488196; Lazier, William C.,author.(CARDINAL)836463;
Includes bibliographical references and index."What's the roadmap to create a company that not only survives its infancy but thrives, changing the world for decades to come? Nine years before the publication of his epochal bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins and his mentor, Bill Lazier, answered this question in their bestselling book, Beyond Entrepreneurship. Beyond Entrepreneurship left a definitive mark on the business community, influencing the young pioneers who were, at that time, creating the technology revolution that was birthing in Silicon Valley. Decades later, successive generations of entrepreneurs still turn to the strategies outlined in Beyond Entrepreneurship to answer the most pressing business questions. BE 2.0 is a new and improved version of the book that Jim Collins and Bill Lazier wrote years ago. In BE 2.0, Jim Collins honors his mentor, Bill Lazier, who passed away in 2005, and reexamines the original text of Beyond Entrepreneurship with his 2020 perspective. The book includes the original text of Beyond Entrepreneurship, as well as four new chapters and fifteen new essays. BE 2.0 pulls together the key concepts across Collins' thirty years of research into one integrated framework called The Map. The result is a singular reading experience, which presents a unified vision of company creation that will fascinate not only Jim's millions of dedicated readers worldwide, but also introduce a new generation to his remarkable work" --Amazon.

Kick the latch / by Scanlan, Kathryn,1980-author.(CARDINAL)805119;
"Kathryn Scanlan's Kick the Latch vividly captures the arc of one woman's life at the racetrack-the flat land and ramshackle backstretch; the bad feelings and friction; the winner's circle and the racetrack bar; the fancy suits and fancy boots; and the "particular language" of "grooms, jockeys, trainers, racing secretaries, stewards, pony people, hotwalkers, everybody"-with economy and integrity. Based on transcribed interviews with Sonia, a horse trainer, the novel investigates form and authenticity in a feat of synthesis reminiscent of Charles Reznikoff's Testimony. As Scanlan puts it, "I wanted to preserve-amplify, ex- aggerate-Sonia's idiosyncratic speech, her bluntness, her flair as a storyteller. I arrived at what you could call a composite portrait of a self." Whittled down with a fiercely singular artistry, Kick the Latch bangs out of the starting gate and carries the reader on a careening joyride around the inside track"--

The last negroes at Harvard : the class of 1963 and the eighteen young men who changed Harvard forever / by Garrett, Kent,author.(CARDINAL)815142; Ellsworth, Jeanne,1951-author.(CARDINAL)813711;
"The untold story of the Harvard class of '63, whose Black students fought to create their own identities on the cusp between integration and affirmative action. In the fall of 1959, Harvard recruited eighteen "Negro" boys as an experiment, an early form of affirmative action. Four years later they would graduate as African Americans. Some fifty years later, one of these trailblazing Harvard grads, Kent Garrett, began to reconnect with his classmates and explore their vastly different backgrounds, lives, and what their time at Harvard meant. Garrett and his partner Jeanne Ellsworth recount how these young men broke new ground. By the time they were seniors, they would have demonstrated against injustice, had lunch with Malcolm X, experienced heartbreak and the racism of academia, and joined with their African national classmates to fight for the right to form an exclusive Black students' group. Part journey into personal history, part group portrait, and part narrative history of the civil rights movement, this is the remarkable story of brilliant, singular boys whose identities were changed at and by Harvard, and who, in turn, changed Harvard"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 291-299).
