John Wiley & Sons Inc The Links
Book SynopsisStudents of golf course architecture are well aware of Robert Hunter — and it’s all because of The Links. This scholarly work was different from other architecture books of the day because Hunter was not a designer attempting to attract commissions through his writing. His goal — through the use of detailed drawings, contemporary photographs and thoughtful text — was not only to explain what made the classic holes so great but why they would stand the test of time. This exact reprint of The Linksbelongs in the libraries of all aficionados of golf course architecture.Table of ContentsPreface. Ante Scriptum: To Links-Land. Shots—Old and New. Things of First Importance. Laying Out the Course. The Climax of Golf—The Well-Placed and Well-Moulded Green. The Purpose of Hazards—Their Inspiration to Good Play. Placing the Hazards.

Chipstone Foundation Ceramics in America 2019
Book SynopsisThe 2019 volume of Ceramics in America features exciting new discoveries in the field of American ceramics studies, from an early example of Chinese porcelain found in the New World to previously undocumented green-glazed earthenware made in early-nineteenth-century Philadelphia. New analytic information about the manufacture of hard-paste porcelain, also in the Philadelphia context, will be of special interest to students of American porcelain production. Of special note, reconstructive drawings of two of America's most important potteries and their kilns are illustrated and discussed: the William Rogers Pottery of Yorktown, Virginia (ca. 1720-1745), and the massive stoneware kilns of Abner Landrum's Pottersville factory in Edgefield, South Carolina (ca. 1818-1840). Other articles examine topics of American stoneware, including the distinctive eighteenth-century stoneware of Boston and Charlestown, Massachusetts. The journal concludes with a beautifully illustrated two-part presentatiTable of ContentsThe Search for the Green‑Glaze Potter of Philadelphia, Deborah Miller Geochemistry of 18th-Century Hard-Paste Porcelain Artifacts Excavated in Philadelphia, J.

Little, Brown Book Group The Silver Snarling Trumpet
Book SynopsisDiscovered at last, the legendary lost manuscript of Grateful Dead co-founder and primary lyricist Robert Hunter, written in the early 1960s-a wry, richly observed, and enlightening remembrance of 'the scene' in Palo Alto that gave rise to an incredible partnership of Hunter and Jerry Garcia, and then to the Grateful Dead itself-with a Foreword by John Mayer, an Introduction by Dennis McNally, and an Afterword by Brigid Meier. 'Strange to think back on those days when it was perfectly natural that we all slept on the floor in one small room . . . These were the days before practical considerations, matters of importance, began to eat our minds. We were all poets and philosophers then, until we began to wonder why we had so few concrete worries and went out to look for some.'So wrote Robert Hunter in The Silver Snarling Trumpet, both a novelistic singular work of art and the missing piece of the Grateful Dead origin story. In these pages, readers are privy to the early days of Hunter, Garcia, and their cohorts, who sit at coffee shops passing around a single cup of bottomless coffee because they lacked the funds for more than one. Follow these truth-seeking souls into the stacks at Kepler's Books, renting instruments at Swain's House of Music, and through the countryside on mind-expanding road trips. Witness impromptu jams, inspired intellectual pranks, and a dialogue that is, by turns, amusing and brilliant and outrageous. Hunter shares his impressions of his first gig with Garcia for a college audience, along with descriptions of his most intense dreams and psychedelic explorations. All of it, enlivened by Hunter's visionary spirit and profound ideas about creativity and collaboration. The lost manuscript is augmented with a Foreword by John Mayer, an Introduction by Dennis McNally, and an Afterword by Brigid Meier, who was part of their scene in the San Francisco Bay Area that served as a bridge from the beatniks to the hippies. Also included is Hunter's own 1982 assessment of his work-about how he shared it with close confidants but then decided to leave it unpublished. Five years after Hunter's death, the text has been found, so readers and fans of Hunter's indelible poetry and song will see the origin of his genius and his craft.

Chipstone Foundation Ceramics in America 2021
Book SynopsisThe 2021 volume of Ceramics in America features wide ranging essays and new discoveries on ceramics used and collected in the American context. Of special note is the reporting of seventeenth-century Chinese porcelain discovered in the ca. 1607 contest of Jamestown, Virginia. Another essay documents the archaeologically-recovered Chinese export porcelain of James and Dolley Madison from their home Montpelier in Virginia. Other articles explore ceramics made to commemorate historical and political events both in America and Great Britain. The subject of nineteenth-century American stonewares made in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, and Virginia is covered in four important articles. A special collector's biopic surveys a highly important American collection of eighteenth-century armorial Chinese porcelain. Other articles will include a profile of North Carolina potter David Stuempfle who continues the old-age tradition of producing wood fired stoneware and a summary of an archaeolo

Chipstone Foundation Ceramics in America 2023
Book SynopsisThe 2023 volume ofCeramics in Americais filled with content of interest to students of American ceramics history. The articles cover a wide range of topics and regions, including ceramics made in Louisiana, South Carolina, and Virginia. Of particular importance is the analysis of a small porcelain snuff box from the so-called A-marked group of porcelains made in London ca. 1745 from china clay obtained in America's Cherokee Territory. A featured essay on the remarkable ceramics of John Wesley Carpenter offers for the first time an in-depth look at this nineteenth-century potter, who worked in the back country of North Carolina and Virginia. Several articles present thematic discussions about historic ceramics made and used to promote the abolition of slavery in both America and England. The use of ceramics to effect social change continues to this day, as is illustrated in the words and works of ceramic artist David Mack of Baltimore, Maryland.

Lexington Books Augustine's Confessions: Conversion and
Book SynopsisAugustine's Confessions: Conversion and Consciousness argues two original positions concerning the structure and meaning of the Confessions by Augustine. The structure is found to be a tool used by Augustine in his earlier pre-Confessions writings in which he uses the Allegory of the Cave in book VII of the Republic by Plato to both describe human consciousness and as a structural framework for his own life story. As with Plato's allegory, Augustine then uses Books X-XIII to do, what the author calls, "Scriptural Philosophical" analysis of the allegorical prayer previously given. The author shows that the Confessions is really an allegorical quasi-prayer that shows Augustine's state of mind or disposition through space/time - and at the same time uses different personas, schools of thought and metaphysical constructs to show the inadequacy of Plato's consciousness model of the cave to truly describe human ratiocination within consciousness in its totality - Synchronic-Synthetic-Triplex (SST) or body, mind, God-Will substance. Instead, Augustine demonstrates the superiority of the Christian conversion to that of the Platonic as described both by Platonic books and the books of the Platonists. The Christian conversion is based on the incarnate Wisdom of Christ Jesus within the Cave/World.Trade ReviewAugustine’s Confessions is a book written in the first and second persons – both a self-exploration and a dialog with the one who has always spoken, acted, and given even before we are on the scene. Dr. Craig asks what we might learn from this narrative grammar about the mind itself. He helpfully suggests that we should read Augustine in the light of Plato’s celebrated image of the ‘cave’ in which finite minds are trapped, and allow our reading of the work to be itself an opening to conversion, an exit from the cave. Here is an innovative and generative reading of the Confessions, sensitive to both history and metaphysics. It’s an original and persuasive piece of work and to my mind makes a real contribution to Augustine studies. -- Rowan Williams, University of CambridgeIt’s a rich interpretation, compelling in its comprehensiveness, deeply informed by the relevant primary and secondary literature, and highly original, distinctly different from all previous interpretations... It’s an interpretation that I find compelling. -- Nicholas Wolterstorff, Yale UniversityThe reading of Augustine's Confessions never ends. That is the way it should be. Few books have the style and substance of this extraordinary book. So we now have Robert Craig's extraordinary proposal for reading The Confessions. I confess when I first read his proposal I was doubtful but he has done his homework and he rightly loves this book. Craig's book will be rejected by many but that makes it the kind of book you need to live with. Plato's cave is itself a great piece of literature and if Craig is right it helps us understand Augustine. We should not be surprised. -- Stanley Hauerwas, Duke University Divinity SchoolRobert Craig's book provides a much more rounded approach to Augustine's Confessions. It is to be seen at once as a work of 'scriptural philosophy' and yet as still in the pagan philosophical tradition precisely *because* it approaches Christianity as the 'true life' and seeks to allegorize, personify and exemplify its new theoretical teachings. Thereby the book encourages us today further to think about the Bible and philosophy in tandem. -- John Milbank, University of NottinghamTable of ContentsForeword by Nicholas WolterstorffPrefaceIntroductionChapter One: Sitz Im Leben: The Setting in Life of the ConfessionesChapter Two: Socratism: Human Ratiocination and HappinessChapter Three: Pura Mente: Augustine’s Early Philosophy of Medicinal ScriptureChapter Four: “Autopsychographical” Augustine: Allegory of the Cave Structure in Books I - IXChapter Five: “Analytic” Augustine: Synchronic-Synthetic-Triplex and Superior Conversion as Meaning in Books X - XIIIChapter Six: Confession-al Influence on Philosophy of Mind and MetaphysicsConclusion – The Cave and God Consciousness UnderstandingAppendix: Structure and Meaning Analysis of the ConfessionesReferencesIndexAbout the Author
