Alone, in the dark cave of an ancient mountain, something sinister sits and waits for all eternity for the arrival of Robert Crum... Enter into the "Land of Wonder and Enchantment," a mythological world inhabited by witches and goblins, knights and fairies where Robert Crum, aided by the mysterious Lady of the Forest, is forced to travel a painful, terrifying road through places of beauty and danger to finally face his own, worst nightmare. This first book in the series of Robert Crum's adventures chronicles his Becoming; a quest unlooked for that costs him everything he holds dear.
In this biography Ekbert Faas pioneers a new kind of "life-writing." It tells its stories through the emotions, thoughts, and, above all, language of the dramatis personae, exchanging the authorial omniscience of traditional biography for an utter fidelity to sources. Allowing for contradictory viewpoints, anecdotes are told and re-told, letting Creeley reveal himself beneath the myths created by self-invention, wishful thinking, and, sometimes, distortion. Excerpts from autobiographical writings by the poet's first wife, Ann McKinnon, complete this intriguingly colourful and complex picture.
In 1652 Robert Cole, an English Catholic, moved with his family and servants to St. Mary's County, Maryland. Using this family's story as a case study, the authors of Robert Cole's World provide an intimate portrait of the social and economic life of a middling planter in the seveneenth-century Chesapeake, including work routines and agricultural techniques, the upbringing of children, neighborhood relationships and community formation, and the role of religion. The Cole Plantation account, a record that details what the plantation produced, consumed, purchased, and sold over a twelve-year period, is the only known surviving document of its kind for seventeenth-century British America. Along with Cole's will, it serves as the framework around which the authors build their analysis. Drawing on these and other records, they present Cole as an exemplar of the ordinary planter whose success created the capital base for the slave-based plantation society of the eighteenth century.
With works ranging thematically and stylistically from "The Universal Baseball Association "to "The Public Burning, "from "Pricksongs and Descants "to "Spanking the Maid, "Robert Coover emerges as one of the most vibrant writers from a remarkable avant-garde that in the mid-1960s mounted serious assault on traditional ideas of form and content in world literature.Lois Gordon here defines Coover s novels, short stories, and plays in terms of his contemporaries: among Americans, Donald Barthelme, William Gass, John Hawkes, and others; among Europeans, Julio Cortazar, Robert Pinget, and Italo Calvino, to name a few. These writers dismiss the conventions of traditional formlinear plot, character development, definable theme, Aristotle s unities of time and spaceas no longer appropriate in the modern world.Coover writes in a dazzling variety of forms and styles; in each he demonstrates a diversity of the style and manipulates the trappings of every conventional formfrom Old Comedy to theater of the absurd. He also translates or transposes techniques associated with other art forms, such as film montage or operatic interlude. In Coover s hands, any of these forms are fair game for parody. Gordon notes: Coover s method, more specifically is this: at the same time that he maintains a strong narrative line he counterpoints it (his musical term is descants ) with numerous mythic, legendary, or symbolic levels which serve to explode any final meaning or resting point. Nothing is staticpersonality, event, human values. Coover writes about a continual flux in which everything is constantly qualified and dramatically altered. He portrays the public and private rituals that man construes to barter inner and outer disorder. "

An interactive biographical essay culled from conversations between Robert Creeley and poet Tom Clark.
This edition of the standard textbook on its subject has been revised by Robert Churchill's biographer. Macdonald Hastings, himself well-known in the shooting field (and other fields as well), has incorporated comments on matters which, since Churchill's Game Shooting as first published in 1955, required further enlargement or modification. He has also brought the entire work completely up-to-date. Macdonald Hastings, who collaborated with the author in the writing of the original edition, was Robert Churchill's own choice to revise the text and this new edition of Churchill's drill book, as the great gunmaker and coach himself liked to describe it, may be regarded as contemporarily definitive. None who read the first edition will want to miss this second one, in which every point of controversy and prejudice has been underlined with an editorial note to assist the shooting man in improving his own performance. To those who are still unfamiliar with Churchill's method of teaching game-shooting, it is important to add that this books is aimed to help not merely the experienced shot who wonders why he is missing, but also the novice handling a gun for the first time. It contains complete and always practical advice on all forms of shot-gun work for everybody. Those who make good use of this manual will not only be welcome guests in any company but quickly pay the cost of the book out of the saving they make on wasted cartridges.

A passion for luxury and beauty propels the multifaceted work of acclaimed international architect and interior designer Robert Couturier. Robert Couturier's aesthetic is a dialogue between Old World elegance and contemporary design. His masterful approach effortlessly brings eras together, for example a Louis XVI commode with a 1960s lamp. Couturier's name has become synonymous with continental and international style, and he is known for composing adventurous rooms that have a witty flair. All his interiors extol the importance of how a home should stimulate the five senses, from the tactile feel of upholstery to the visual presentation of objects that leads a person through a space. The book opens with a tour of Couturier's country retreat in bucolic Kent, Connecticut. Composed of neoclassical-style pavilions, early American guesthouses, and beautiful gardens, the house features imaginative rooms that are filled with his collections of European art, furniture, and decorative objects. A selection of the designer's other projects-from smart contemporary apartments to romantic Mexican villas to a stately English manor-provides further inspiration.
