Bill Jason Priest is credited with developing and defining the Dallas County Community College District. His career in higher education began in California before he came to Texas in 1965. Over the next fifteen years Priest transformed the junior college program into a seven-campus district, performing major roles in the evolution of nursing education, televised courses, vocational education, and noncredit courses. After his retirement in 1981, he continued to serve as chancellor emeritus until 2003. Drawing from archives and numerous interviews with Priest and his personal and professional associates, Kathleen Krebbs Whitson presents the life of a giant in Texas education.

Aperture is pleased to present five of the most promising photographers featured on tinyvices.com, the popular online gallery founded by independent curator and photographer Tim Barber. Presented in five separate volumes, and limited to one thousand copies per edition, the series reflects the loose spirit of the website, and offers a range of styles and approaches to photography—Kenneth Cappello’s casual snapshots of the skate scene of his youth, Allan Macintyre’s rigorous investigations of geological activity, Jason Nocito’s playful groupings of disparate images, Robin Schwartz’s disquieting portraits of her daughter, Jaimie Warren’s theatrical self-portraits. Each book will be introduced by a prominent artist, writer, or curator. Since its inception in 2005, tinyvices has become an influential platform for emerging and underexposed talent, featuring the work of hundreds of photographers and artists, including Ryan McGinley and Dash Snow. Its corresponding exhibition opened in New York in 2006, and has since toured worldwide, from Proyectos Monclova in Mexico City to Colette in Paris.
As the scorer of the only try in England's historic World Cup victory in 2003, Jason Robinson's career has scaled the peaks. He was England's first black Rugby Union captain. The author delves behind the public persona of 'Billy Whizz', a nickname he acquired at Wigan in his Rugby League days.
Hercules & Jason and the Argonauts: The Legendary Stories of Ancient Greece's Most Famous Heroes

*Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading There are few mythological characters that require less of an introduction than Hercules. His "labours" are known and have been reimagined by cultures far beyond their Greek beginnings, and he continues to influence modern culture in more ways than any other ancient Greek hero. What is curious about Hercules's character is that, despite his fame even in the ancient world, there was no authoritative source for his biography. The Library of Myths, commonly though falsely attributed to Apollodorus, is frequently used to illustrate the key episodes of Hercules's life. Despite being written at some time during the 2nd century CE, the Library encapsulates much of the "conglomerate of popular tales" that has become Hercules's vulgate biography. Ultimately, though these tales are well known, their true beauty lies in the social and religious influence of their telling and the historical memories that remain, to this day, as shadows in their lines. The story of Jason and his crew of Argonauts is one of the best-known and most beloved myths of all time. Blockbuster movies have been made about it, and legendary explorer and historian Tim Severin even constructed a replica of the Argo in 1984 and succeeded in sailing it to Colchis (modern-day Georgia). In the ancient world too, this myth was told and retold time and again. The best source of the myth available to the modern reader (generally considered to be Apollonius Rhodius's Argonautica) comes from the Hellenistic Period (ca. 323-31 BCE), which is very late in terms of most sources available for Greek myth. This means that the story written at that time had already been exposed to centuries of influences and additions. However, mythology is not the study of a story's beginnings alone, and very often, it is the changes and adaptations that provide the story with its most fascinating characteristics. The vague geography of the Argo's story will become apparent, but it's also important, because there are numerous theories as to why the ancient writers may have charted the journey as they did. The Argo's journey was as revelatory to Jason as it was to the late ancient Greek readers/listeners, since it incorporated many of the mythical, political, and cultural themes that pervaded myths throughout the Mediterranean. These themes accumulated with every revision and retelling of the story until it became a central motif in the Greek mindset, with strands linking it to myth, peoples, and places. It is this story of multitudes that contains the most fascinating curios of Jason and the Argonauts. Hercules & Jason and the Argonauts: The Legendary Stories of Ancient Greece's Most Famous Heroes looks at the famous myths. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Hercules and Jason and the Argonauts like never before.

A generously illustrated volume that documents the career of Jason Rohrer, one of the most heralded art game designers working today.A maker of visually elegant and conceptually intricate games, Jason Rohrer is among the most widely heralded art game designers in the short but vibrant history of the field. His games range from the elegantly simple to others of almost Byzantine complexity. Passage (2007)-acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York-uses game rules and procedurals to create a contemporary memento mori that captures an entire lifetime in five minutes. In Chain World (2011), each subsequent player of the game's single copy modifies the rules of the universe. A Game for Someone (2013) is a board game sealed in a box and buried in the Mojave Desert, with a list of one million potential sites distributed to Rohrer's fan base. (Rohrer estimated that it would take two millennia of constant searching to find the game.) With Chain World and A Game for Someone, Rohrer became the first designer to win the prestigious Game Challenge Design award twice.This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, offers a comprehensive account of the artist's oeuvre. The book documents all seventeen of Rohrer's finished games, as well as sketches, ephemera, and related material, with color images throughout. It includes entries on individual games (with code in footnotes), artist interviews, artist writings, commentary by high scorers, and interpretive texts. Two introductory essays view Rohrer's work in the contexts of game studies and art history. ExhibitionThe Davis Museum at Wellesley College February-June 2016
