Summary

In "Stray Feathers From a Bird Man's Desk," Austin Loomer Rand intricately weaves together the threads of nature observation, personal reflection, and philosophy, creating a tapestry that celebrates avian life while exploring themes of interconnectedness and human emotion. The book's literary style is marked by its lyrical prose and vivid imagery, inviting readers into the intimate world of birds and the profound insights their presence evokes. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, a time when nature writing gained prominence, Rand'Äôs reflections resonate with the naturalist tradition while also echoing the burgeoning environmental consciousness of his era.

Art History The Viennese Secession

Victoria Charles, Klaus H. Carl

Influenced by Art Nouveau, this movement (created in 1897 by Gustav Klimt, Carl Moll, and Josef Hoffmann) was not an anonymous artistic revolution. Defining itself as a “total art”, without any political or commercial constraint, the Viennese Secession represented the ideological turmoil that affected craftsmen, architects, graphic artists, and designers from this period. Turning away from an established art and immersing themselves in organic, voluptuous, and decorative shapes, these artists opened themselves to an evocative, erotic aesthetic that blatantly offended the bourgeoisie of the time. Painting, sculpture, and architecture are addressed by the authors and highlight the diversity and richness of a movement whose motto proclaimed “for each time its art, for each art its liberty” – a declaration to the innovation and originality of this revolutionary art movement.

Towing Icebergs Falling Dominoes...

Robert B. Banks

An engineering professor reveals how math and reasoning apply in the real world with a “fascinating” collection of problems and puzzles (Library Journal). 
 
A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year 
 
Although we seldom think of it, our lives are played out in a world of numbers. Such common activities as throwing baseballs, skipping rope, growing flowers, playing football, measuring savings accounts, and many others are inherently mathematical. So are more speculative problems that are simply fun to ponder in themselves—such as the best way to score Olympic events. 
 
Here Robert Banks presents a wide range of musings, both practical and entertaining, that have intrigued him and others: How tall can one grow? Why do we get stuck in traffic? Which football player would have a better chance of breaking away—a small, speedy wide receiver or a huge, slow linebacker? Can California water shortages be alleviated by towing icebergs from Antarctica? What is the fastest the 100-meter dash will ever be run? 
 
The book’s twenty-four concise chapters, each centered on a real-world phenomenon, show how math and simple reasoning together may produce elegant models that explain everything from the federal debt to the proper technique for ski-jumping.
