RIZZOLI INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS
2025
sidottu
Published to coincide with a traveling exhibition that explores June Leaf s (1929 2024) uncategorizable and endlessly experimental oeuvre, this volume features new scholarship alongside reflections by the artist s peers, Joan Jonas and Kara Walker. Drawing from numerous museum and private collections as well as Leaf s vast personal archive, it is the most exhaustive survey of her career to date. Leaf s enchanting and provocative kinetic sculptures, assemblages, paintings, and drawings are intermingled and juxtaposed, revealing the artist s sustained engagement with such motifs and themes as theater and performance, dance, gender, motion, urban life, mythology, and interpersonal relationships. She skillfully blends mediums and materials in unconventional and intuitive ways, resulting in compositions where playful and combative figures and contraptions emerge from inventive combinations of brass, copper, tin, found metal rods and blades, wood, and paint.

If You Don't Believe Me: Lessons Learned from Listening to the Greats

If You Don't Believe Me: Lessons Learned from Listening to the Greats

Sam Adams

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016
nidottu
When it comes to the great sports and entertainment figures of our time, more often than not, we readily remember the home runs, the touchdown passes, the baskets made and other public accomplishments. This is the material that generates talk of greatness about individual athletes. Their statistics roll off our tongues. We know their numbers, but we don't always remember their spoken words. Sure, there have been many athletes who have exhibited the gift of gab - from Yogi Berra's silly quips to Charles Barkley's sometimes-playful, sometimes-controversial rants. But there were other words also spoken; be it after a game, before a practice, in the quiet of the locker room on an off-day or in a setting far away from the playing field. These words may not have appeared in a newspaper or been heard during a television or radio broadcast.These are great lines spoken by some of the greatest performers of our time. And I've taken the liberty to tailor some of them to suit the lessons in life that so many of us still are learning today. Some are the words spoken directly from the most accomplished performers who ever lived. These are quotes from great individuals that have the potential to move you as they moved me.It was a privilege to watch great athletes perform at the highest level of competition. Witnessing the ascension to greatness - from high school standout to college All-American to the professional ranks... from rookies to all-stars, all-stars to champions and champions to Hall of Famers...

The Road to Zarauz

The Road to Zarauz

Sam Adams

Parthian Books
2020

The Perseids brought it all out of the past, with a force like a blow that leaves you winded. The night lurched and seemed to swoop suddenly down. The boy still lay on his back, but when I sat up, gasping, I glimpsed the pale disc of his face as he turned to see what had startled me. 'It's all right,' I said, though it wasn't. It is the summer of 1954. Four young men, on a summer vacation buy an old car from a farmer and drive it from the hills of Wales all the way to the mountains of Spain. It is only a few years since the war, Europe is still in ruins. They are innocent and war-scarred, dreamers and realists, men but not much more than boys. They have their whole lives ahead of them. This will be their summer to remember. A beautiful, elegiac rumination on youth, friendship and the dreams that we hold. "A haunting meditation on memory and loss that takes the reader on a summer road trip to a vanished Spain. In this well-crafted, wistful novella, Sam Adams weaves his tapestry from fragments of a remembered friendship in a coming of age tale written with sixty years' bitter hindsight." - Richard Gwyn Sam Adams has created a rare novel in The Road to Zarauz, both timeless and very much of a time and a place, a past of hope and expectation erased in a moment, and what remains when hope is gone.

War Of Numbers

War Of Numbers

Sam Adams; Col. David H. Hackworth; John Prados

Steerforth Press
2020

Sam Adams loved intelligence work, and that enthusiasm shines throughout this memoir of his years with the Central Intelligence Agency. His career was dominated by an epic struggle over Vietnam -- over military attempts to hide the true size of the enemy forces there, and over the integrity of the intelligence process. Adams's insistence on telling the truth caused an ungodly ruckus in both Washington and Saigon at the time, and years later, after the CIA had threatened to fire him (on thirteen occasions ) and he had quit the agency in disgust, Adams brought his story back up to the surface more loudly than ever in a CBS television documentary which eventually resulted in a notorious trial on libel charges brought by General William Westmoreland. After leaving the CIA, Adams sat down to write an account of his life at the agency. There is nothing else quite like the story he tells.
