Why is depression bad for heart disease? And how does heart disease contribute to depression? And why is treatment for depressed people with heart disease so often inadequate? Through personal vignettes, accessible scientific explanations, and medical illustrations, Treating the Aching Heart traces the vicious cycle of depression and heart одфьэ disease and points the way to better care based on cutting-edge science The book presents a new view of depression as a broad-reaching illness with a distinct neurobiology that influences the most up-to-date model of heart disease Treating the Aching Heart provides a window into the most studied mind-body problem, the interaction between the brain and the heart Though many mysteries remain, in no other area is the relationship between a mental disorder and a physical disorder better understood than in the study of depression and heart disease Anyone who has suffered from depression (about one in four U S adults) or some form of heart disease (also about one in four), or has a close family member with either problem, will find this book a useful guide to treatment Автор Lawson R Wulsin.  Издательство: Vanderbilt University Press, 2007 г Мягкая обложка, 256 стр ISBN 0826515614 Язык: Английский.

Book Description Many have a deep passion for books, cherishing their form and content equally Even the electronic book has not been able to change this For books are more than a medium offering a container for words This is the starting point for the German artist Dorothea Reese-Heim, who in 1983 discovered paper and later the book for her own art The одхве poetic forms Dorothea Reese-Heim finds to bring the book's aesthetic peculiarities to expression are of great beauty Itself a book about books, this publication therefore exploits to the fullest the entire potential of its possibilities of representation, thus permitting the rich spectrum of Dorothea Reese-Heim's subtle and sensitive works to pass in lively review before our eyes To this end,the essay by Karen Meetz literally grasps the body of the book On the one hand, an aesthetic analysis clearly illuminates the effects of these remarkable book objects, while, on the other hand, the text plumbs the topic's manifold art-historical and cultural-historical ramifications.  2003 г 120 стр ISBN 3933257786.

The greatest cultural accomplishments in history have never been the result of the brainstorms of marketing men, corporate focus groups, or any homogenized methods; they have always happened organically More often than not, these manifestations have been the result of a few like-minded people coming together to create something new and original одхвъ for no other purpose than a common love of doing it In the 1990s, a loose-knit group of American artists and creators, many just out of their teens, began their careers in just such a way Influenced by the popular underground youth subcultures of the day, such as skateboarding, graffiti, street fashion, and independent music, artists like Shepard Fairey, Mark Gonzales, Spike Jonze, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Barry McGee, Phil Frost, Chris Johanson, Harmony Korine, and Ed Templeton began to create art that reflected the lifestyles they led Many had no formal training and almost no conception of the inner workings of the art world They learned their crafts through practice, trial and error, and good old-fashioned innovation Not since the Beat Generation have we seen a group of creative individuals with such a unified aesthetic sense and varied cultural facets The world of art has been greatly affected by their accomplishments as have the worlds of fashion, music, literature, film, and, ironically, athletics Beautiful Losers is a retrospective celebration of this spirit, with hundreds of artworks by over two dozen artists, from precursors like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Larry Clark, to more recent adherents Ryan McGinniss, KAWS, and Geoff McFetridge Work in all conceivable mediums is included, plus reproductions of reams of ephemera The accompanying essays are contributed by a half-dozen writers who have championed these beautiful losers from the start This paperback reprint includes more pages, more images, an exhibition checklist, installation shots from a variety of exhibitions, and an interview with Beautiful Losers advocate, Agnes B Edited by Aaron Rose and Christian Strike Interview with Agnes B Paperback, 8 5 x 11 in /288 pgs / 220 color and 200 b&w.  2005 г Мягкая обложка, 288 стр ISBN 1933045302.

Visual art in the period following World War II witnessed landmark transformations Today, drawing provides a powerful and vigorous device for reexamining the art of that period, and for renewing appreciation of the extraordinary achievements of well-known artists--and for discovering others Even though the art of these years saw radical departures одхгв and shifts, drawing, which is among the most traditional of media, played a crucial and consistent role in the work of a great majority of the most significant artists Drawing from the Modern, 1945-1975, surveys the drawing of the period through the unparalleled holdings of the drawings collection of The Museum of Modern Art The postwar period saw the development of Abstract Expressionism in New York, followed by Pop art, Minimal art, and Conceptual art, and the Museum's collection has exceptional strength in these areas Abstract drawings by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Barnett Newman open this volume, followed by works by such key figures as Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, and Cy Twombly Next, drawings by Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, and Andy Warhol signal the arrival of a new figurative art at the forefront of creativity But reductive and abstract art kept pace, and the Museum's collection offers a breathtaking array of drawings by Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Eva Hesse, Sol LeWitt, Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, Richard Serra, and numerous others What constitutes "progress" in art is questioned today, and it is no longer possible to see the development of art as a straight line, with synchronicity among places and geographies But drawing, by its very nature, encourages established understandings to be examined and accepted values to be reappraised Many of the artists represented here defy easy categorization, including Lee Bontecou, Louise Bourgeois, Vija Celmins, Bruce Conner, Ray Johnson, Jim Nutt, and Myron Stout The resurgence of European art is represented by drawings by Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, Piero Manzoni, Henri Michaux, Mario Merz, and Sigmar Polke, among others A number the most important artists working in Latin America in the postwar period are also represented, including Jorge de la Vega, Gego, LeA?n Ferrari, HA©lio Oiticica, and Mira Schendel While neither the collection nor this volume is encyclopedic, the spirit and achievements of postwar art are distilled and amply celebrated here Includes work by Willem de Kooning, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Brice Marden, Barnett Newman, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and others Essay by Gary Garrels Hardcover, 8 25 x 10 25 in /224 pgs / 160 color and 5 b&w.  2005 г Твердый переплет, 228 стр ISBN 0870706640.

Robert Williams life and work have proven difficult to describe Who better then, to put Williams into words and pictures than the man himselfas he does in this illustrated autobiography of his life in hot rods Here, for the first time, Robert Williams presents his extraordinary body of work in the context of his hot rod background, in the process relating одхгй his impossibly wild formative years and his gradual establishment as one of Americas most influential underground artists Born in 1943, and raised in Alabama and Albuquerque, Williams eventually gravitated to Southern California and the Chouinard Art Institute, but not before immersing himself in the countrys nascent youth culture of hot rods, rock n roll, and bowling alley rumbles He recounts a boyhood spent at drive-in theaters and dirt tracks, honing a life and a style that had little to do with the world of square day jobs he entered after leaving Chouinard in 1963, when, through sheer happenstance, an unemployment agency handed him a job as art director at the studio of his hero, Ed Big Daddy Roth Along with tales from his time at Roth studioswhich resulted in his famous Roth ads for Hot Rod magazine, not to mention several infamous run-ins with the Hells AngelsWilliams demythologizes the 1950s, recalls his association with Zap Comix and R Crumb, and reflects on todays retro rodders and his own hot rods Illustrated throughout with photographs from Williams personal collection as well as paintings and illustrations, this is a life portrait as only Robert Williams could do it.  2006 г Твердый переплет, 176 стр ISBN 0760326606.
