Roger always has big plans, but will his plans work? Find out what happens when Martha joins Roger in his planned games and activities. That's when the fun begins Illustrations by: Wee Wisdom, Staff Illustrators
Roger Winter has always been preoccupied with 'recording reality in all its strangeness,' in the words of biographer and art historian Susie Kalil. His works partake of wide-ranging influences: childhood memories of gospel hymns blaring from a loudspeaker atop the 'Holy Roller' church near his home; strange totems composed of crows, foxes, angels, and old family photographs; rusted cars resting among chest-high weeds; faces reflected in the windows of a New York City bus. According to his siblings, he has been an artist since he was 'pre-verbal,' and in a career spanning eight decades, he has continually reinvented himself, breaching the boundaries of one stylistic convention after another - never content to allow the expression of his vision to be constrained to a single vocabulary.In this definitive retrospective of Winter's life and art, Kalil explores not only the myriad influences of the artist and his dizzying stylistic journey but also allows Winter's work to pose important questions: Why do some people become artists and others don't? What gives artists their unique modes of perception and expression? Where is the line of separation between what is seen and what is represented? Between the maker and what is made?The Art of Roger Winter: Fire and Ice offers an in-depth portrait of one of today's most important American painters. Critics, collectors, scholars, students, and art lovers will glean deep insights from this study in contrasts.
Over the last couple of decades, an ideological battle has raged over the political legacy and cultural symbolism of the "golden age" pirates who roamed the seas between the Caribbean Islands and the Indian Ocean from 1690 to 1725. They are depicted as romanticized villains on the one hand and as genuine social rebels on the other. Life Under the Jolly Roger examines the political and cultural significance of these nomadic outlaws by relating historical accounts to a wide range of theoretical concepts--reaching from Marshall Sahlins and Pierre Clastres to Mao Zedong and Eric J. Hobsbawm via Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault. With daring theoretical speculation and passionate, respectful inquiry, Gabriel Kuhn skillfully contextualizes and analyzes the meanings of race, gender, sexuality, and disability in golden age pirate communities, while also surveying the breathtaking array of pirates' forms of organization, economy, and ethics. Life Under the Jolly Roger also provides an extensive catalog of scholarly references for the academic reader. Yet this delightful and engaging study is written in language that is wholly accessible for a wide audience. This expanded second edition includes an appendix with interviews about contemporary piracy, the ongoing fascination with pirate imagery, and the thorny issue of colonial implications in the romanticization of pirates.

The Reminiscences of Roger L. Bond
Naval Institute Press
2016
sidottu
In this engaging memoir, based on two interviews conducted by Paul Stillwell in October 1987, former Quartermaster 3rd Class Bond serves as a representative for hundreds of thousands of enlisted men whose only active military service was during World War II. He enlisted in the Navy in 1942, took boot training at San Diego, and then reported to the destroyer USS Saufley (DD-465). He was on board for operations around the Solomons late in 1942. In 1943 he joined the navigation gang of the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-3), which had been in commission since 1927. Bond paints a vivid word picture of the living and working conditions in a ship that was outdated but still called upon to take part in a modern war. He talks about the ship’s air operations against the Japanese, including a stint in the Indian Ocean with the British. He provides a valuable discussion of the professionalism of the ship’s quartermasters. Detached from the Saratoga in 1945, Quartermaster Bond was attached to the patrol craft USS PCE(R)-858, commonly known as a "Peecer," and served during her shakedown cruise, training cruises, and her role in minesweeping operations around Japan after the war was over. He was discharged in 1946 and had a successful career in the trucking industry.

Journals of Brother Roger of Taizé

When the definitive history of Christianity in the twentieth century is written, one of the key figures will certainly be that of Roger Schutz-Marsauche (1915-2005), known as Brother Roger, the founder and first prior of the Taize Community in France. Taize is familiar to many across the world for its music and contemplative style of worship, and as a place where tens of thousands of young Christians flock each year to spend a time of prayer and reflection. What is less well-known is the underlying reality that makes all this possible: a monastic community of brothers from over twenty-five different countries and different Christian traditions striving to live as a ""parable of community,"" a sign of unity in the midst of divided Christians and a world torn apart. This first volume of Brother Roger's journals covers the years from his arrival in Taize during World War II to the turbulent 1960s, when young adults began making their way to the hill of Taize in their searching. These collected insights, reflections, and accounts of personal encounters and current events offer what is perhaps the best portrait of the founder of Taize. They bring to light key aspects of the community which continues to attempt to put into practice the vision that inspired him.
