Monet
Noel Gregory
• Author’s previous books sold more than 75,000 copies
Capturing the movement and lyricism of Claude Monet’s most
celebrated works, artists of all skill levels will eagerly approach
this step-by-step study of the impressionist master. This close
chronicle of the artist’s technique will train beginning and inter-
mediate hands in mimicking Monet’s composition, the ways of
gestural brushstrokes, color selection, and subjective interpreta-
tion. Including a range of Monet’s most celebrated subjects—
such as poppy fields, water lilies, and the Grand Canal in
Venice—six tracing papers make getting started quick and easy.
With additional guidance on determining the fundamental
shapes within each study, novices can share in the infectious
enthusiasm Monet poured into his own masterworks. Two origi-
nal artworks that borrow the basic concepts of impressionism
are included as well, offering direction to newly inspired students
as they take their easels out of the studio and into the streets and
fields to capture the world as they see it—just like Monet.
Noel Gregory is an artist who specializes in oil painting and sells
his work internationally. He is the author of Flowers in Oils,

Van Gogh
Michael Sanders
• Author’s previous books sold more than 20,000 copies
Like taking a lesson with the master himself, this introduction to
the style and technique of Vincent Van Gogh is for beginners and
more experienced painters alike. An unmatched master during the
Postimpressionist period, Van Gogh’s style evokes a more expres-
sive image, and this collection features an assortment of his most
celebrated subjects—such as peasant farmers clearing their fields,
a provincial village at dusk, a sunflower still-life, and the artist’s
thatched-seat chair and pipe. Accompanying each project is a set
of detailed photographs that demonstrate the unique short brush-
strokes that Van Gogh employed for his most distinct style. Six
reusable tracing papers are included, so establishing a balanced
composition is quick and easy; and while Van Gogh worked
mostly with oil paints, this resource translates his technique and
colorization to the more utilitarian acrylic medium.

Excerpt:
Since we had started the rescue work we had become friends with a police dog handler. Now I realised the truth of what he had told
us: you haven’t got control of a dog unless you can get it to come. The secret, he had said, was to be more interesting than what the
dog was doing. His advice was to squat down to the level of the dog, so you’re not towering above him like a threatening giant. Then
waggle your fingers about in the grass as if you are trying to find something.
I squatted down. Immediately, I realised that my head was about level with the dog’s teeth. My movement must have caught the
attention of Lion-Maned Dog; he turned his head. I put a hand down and wiggled my fingers about.
Some dogs have faces which allow you to read more easily what they are thinking. Lion-Maned Dog had such a face. And it seemed
to me he was thinking, What’s that idiot doing? He quickly turned back to resume his excavations of the current gap.
“Ooohhh . . . What’s this?” I said. Then, excitedly, “Ooohhh—look what I’ve found!"
Lion-Maned Dog turned his head for the briefest of looks then hurried on to the next gap. The next gap was the one big enough to
provide his ticket to freedom.
In case Finding Something Interesting hasn’t worked, our dog handler friend had gone on to reveal the Technique That Never Fails.
He told us that he himself had only ever done this once. It had been taught to him at police dog training school as the ultimate
weapon. He told us it took guts.
From the squatting-down Finding-Something-Interesting position, roll over onto your back. Stick all four arms and legs up into the
air and move them all about simultaneously in a cycling motion. Think of a beetle that’s rolled over onto its back and can’t get up
again. No dog can resist that, the handler said—he’ll have to come over to see what’s happened.

Kottas on Dressage
Arthur Kottas-Heldenberg and Julie Rowbotham
A distillation of the practice and philosophy of prominent inter-
national dressage trainers, this guide is instructive to those who
aspire to classical horsemanship principles. A rider must first
train themselves in correct posture and a thorough understand-
ing of the aids before training the horse, according to the philos-
ophy within this manual. Next, the volume highlights the value
of establishing rapport with the horse, enhancing the animal’s
mental responses, and developing its physique with groundwork
before progressing to training under the saddle. Filled with
detailed notes and remedies for common problems, the text
focuses on thorough, incremental development of the basic gaits,
explains the value and execution of the lateral exercises, and
introduces advanced work including tempi changes, pirouettes,
piaffe, and passage.
Arthur Kottas-Heldenberg is a classical dressage trainer and runs
horsemanship clinics internationally. He was a member of the
world-renowned Spanish Riding School in Vienna for more than
40 years, spending the last seven in the esteemed position of First
Chief Rider. Julie Rowbotham is a dressage trainer with Aspire
Dressage in England.

Catherine of Siena
A Passionate Life
Don Brophy
“Don Brophy has succeeded in a very difficult enterprise, pre-
senting Catherine of Siena in all of her human and religious
beauty and complexity to casual readers as well as to more seri-
ous ones. He portrays the saint’s personality and—importantly—
her spirituality with sensitivity and balance. And he has managed
to depict the tortuous civil and ecclesiastical contexts of
Catherine’s 14th century in an understandable style.”

Against the backdrop of 14th-century Europe—a time of social
turmoil, outbreaks of the bubonic plague, a catastrophic war
that devastated the continent, and an overall transition between
the Middle Ages and the Renaissance—this intelligent and com-
prehensive biography of an oftentimes irreverent, intense, and
fiery woman offers an entry point into the life of Catherine of
Siena. Deeply researched and based on the latest sources, this
history recalls Saint Catherine—as she would later be called—as
a champion of peace who cajoled and, at times, begged popes,
monarchs, and ordinary citizens to do her will. Describing her

The Revolution
of Everyday Life
Second edition
Raoul Vaneigem
Translated by Donald Nicholson-Smith
“The most striking aspect of Vaneigem’s compendium of Free
Spirit Lore is his ability to release the material into the present . . .
you can almost feel the whole great edifice of social order—their
Church, our capitalist democracy—gather itself up, take a deep
breath, and run.” —Greil Marcus, author, Lipstick Traces
on The Movement of the Free Spirit
One of the most important exponents of Situationist ideas presents
an impassioned critique of modern capitalism in this important
cornerstone of modern radical thought. Originally published in
early 1968, it both kindled and colored the May 1968 upheavals
in France, which captured the attention of the world. Naming and
defining the alienating features of everyday life in consumer socie-
ty—survival rather than living in full, the call to sacrifice, the culti-
vation of false needs, the dictatorship of the commodity, subjection
to social roles, and the replacement of God by the economy—the
book argues that the countervailing impulses that exist within
deep alienation—creativity, spontaneity, poetry—present an
authentic alternative to nilhilistic consumerism. This carefully edit-
ed new translation marks the first North American publication of
this important work and includes a new preface by the author.

with a quite personal majesty. And yet such a man cannot be
entirely reduced to the idiotic machine, the lethargic puppet, that
all this implies. For brief moments his daily life must generate an
energy which, if only it were not rechannelled, dispersed, and
squandered in roles, would suffice to overthrow the world of sur-
vival. Who can gauge the striking-power of an impassioned day-
dream, of pleasure taken in love, of a nascent desire, of a rush of
sympathy? Everyone seeks spontaneously to extend such brief
moments of real life; everyone wants basically to make some-
thing whole out of their everyday life. But conditioning succeeds
in making most of us pursue these moments in exactly the wrong
way—by way of the inhuman—with the result that we lose what
we most want at the very moment we attain it.

• Contributors’ previous works have sold more than

Glorifying the recovered pleasures of fine cloth, rich tex-
ture, and a relaxed fit, this collection of vintage patterns
draws its inspiration from the charm, simplicity, and ele-
gance of mid-20th-century clothing. Rejuvenated by the
postwar years, men and women embraced styles that cap-
tured feminine appeal and masculine exuberance, with
well-tailored designs and graceful finishing touches that
are re-created here. The 31 patterns in this volume—from
cardigans and jackets to scarves and pullovers—have
been inspired by old photographs, archival patterns, and
classic Hollywood films and have been adapted for mod-
ern figures and contemporary knitters.
Kaffe Fassett, Sarah Dallas, Kim Hargreaves, Martin

A Mystery
Brent Pilkey
• Co-op available
• Advertising in Ellen Queen Mystery Magazine
Filled with drugs, prostitution, and crime, this mystery explores the
unglamorous life of a street cop in the rough-and-tumble 51
Division. Jack Warren, a young officer who enters the dangerous
downtown streets after working in a virtually crime-free area, is
immediately thrown into a brutal war against a crack-cocaine dealer
intent on taking over the city’s drug trade. Jack soon discovers that
no one is safe from the dealer’s quest for domination when the war
turns horrifically personal. Working with the division’s elite major-
crime unit, Jack learns there is an imperceptible yet enormous differ-
ence between the law and justice—and being a police officer and
surviving in the 51.
Brent Pilkey is a member of Toronto’s police force who previously
worked on their Crisis Intervention Team in 51 Division. He lives in
Toronto, Ontario.

Excerpt:
Together, slowly and carefully, they started pulling cardboard away from the feet, trying to get a clear look at the rest of the body.
Jack’s blood was pounding in his ears. His first homicide and he was first on the scene. The boxes and shadows shifted in the lights,
folding in upon themselves, never revealing what lay beneath. He was reaching into darkness, groping blindly.
Oh, God, I don’t want to put my hand in—His hand touched something warm.
“Paul, I think I’ve—”
And then the body sat up.
Jack screamed and leaped backward. His feet hit the dirt, then his butt and then his back slammed into the ground. His breath
whooshed out of him and he gasped for air, squirming on the ground like an overturned turtle in its Kevlar shell.
Dimly, he heard shouting through the roaring in his ears. He coughed and gratefully pulled in a lungful of air, then sat up and saw Paul
kicking the Dumpster for all he was worth.
“Get the fuck out of there! You little mother—” The rest was lost beneath the great clanging as his boot slammed into the metal bin
again and again.
Still fighting to breathe properly, Jack dragged himself to his feet as a very scared-looking fellow timidly poked his head out of the bin.
“What the fuck are you doing in there?” Paul yelled.
The man cringed. “I was sleeping, that’s all.”
“Why the fuck would you sleep in a Dumpster?” Paul shouted and Jack realized he wasn’t the only one who had been scared half to
death.
The man ducked into his cardboard fortress, fleeing from the angry giant’s wrath. “I was just sleeping.” It sounded like a desperate plea
for surrender.
“Sleeping. He was sleeping,” Paul muttered in disbelief. In control again, he spoke in a softer tone. “All right, buddy. C’mon out now.
No sleeping in Dumpsters. Someone’s liable to throw you away with the trash.”

track down the serial killer who’s been terrorizing the county.
Having been involved in more than 100 cases of foul play and wit-

tion, Dub thought he had seen it all—yet the killer is unlike any
murderer Dub has ever encountered. Vacillating between wildly

times calm, cold, and calculating; at others maniacal and out of con-
trol—the psychopath taunts, threatens, and outmaneuvers Dub at
every turn. The stakes are suddenly elevated as Dub uncovers a
deadly conspiracy tainted with unrestrained greed, corruption and
ties to the military establishment and the medical community.

plained. Firsthand accounts and historical documents are
explored, and in-depth coverage is provided on the mysteries of
imagination, culture, perception, consciousness, being, and more.

replete with demons and ghouls—modern and ancient accounts
of fairyland, life on Mars, alien worlds, parallel universes, and
mystery airships. Also examined are the supernatural myths sur-
rounding Mount Shasta, which include accounts of telepathic
Lemurians living on its slopes, as reported by the Los Angeles
Times. More than 40 beliefs, doctrines, experiences, and places
are described and explored in this truly comprehensive guide to
the wacky, weird, and otherworldly.

Introduction to Modern
Dance Techniques
Joshua Legg
Bringing together all of the major modern dance techniques from
the last 80 years, this engaging account is the first of its kind.
The informative discussion starts by mapping the historical
development of modern dance: in the late 19th century, a new
dance emerged—not yet known as modern dance—that rejected
social strictures and ballet as well. With insight into the personal-
ities and purposes of modern dance’s vanguard—including
Martha Graham, Lester Horton, José Limón, and Merce
Cunningham—this compilation provides a comparative
approach that will enable students to discern which technique
best suits them and dispel the idea that there is a single, universal
modern dance technique. There are also ideas for experimenta-
tion so that students can begin developing an aesthetic sense for
not only what is pleasing to their artistic eye, but also for what
technical ideas are exciting while their own body is in motion.
Sample syllabi are included for teachers to incorporate the text
into courses.
Joshua Legg is a choreographer, writer, poet, photographer, edu-
cator, and designer. He holds an MFA in dance, choreography,
and performance and has taught for the dance and theater pro-
grams at Harvard University, Suffolk University, and Shenan-
doah University. He lives in Winchester, Virginia.
