Norton, 2010. Hardcover, w jacket. 384 pp. As new unopened copy. 1st ed. "Shaking up the content and method by which generations of students had studied Western philosophy, Martin Heidegger sought to ennoble man's existence in relation to death. Yet in a time of crisis, he sought personal advancement, becoming the most prominent German intellectual to join the Nazis. Hannah Arendt, his brilliant, beautiful student and young lover, sought to enable a decent society of human beings in relation to one other. She was courageous in the time of crisis. Years later, she was even able to meet Heidegger once again on common ground and to find in his past behavior an insight into Nazism that would influence her reflections on "the banality of evil"-a concept that remains bitterly controversial and profoundly influential to this day. But how could Arendt have renewed her friendship with Heidegger? And how has this relationship affected her reputation as a cultural critic? In Stranger from Abroad, Daniel Maier-Katkin offers a compassionate portrait that provides much-needed insight into this relationship. Maier-Katkin creates a detailed and riveting portrait of Arendt's rich intellectual and emotional life, shedding light on the unique bond she shared with her second husband, Heinrich Blucher, and on her friendships with Mary McCarthy, W. H. Auden, Karl Jaspers, and Randall Jarrell-all fascinating figures in their own right. An elegant, accessible introduction to Arendt's life and work, Stranger from Abroad makes a powerful and hopeful case for the lasting relevance of Arendt's thought."

Dalibor Martinis (b. 1947) Croatian video, performance and conceptual artist. Graduated at Zagreb Academy of Fine Arts 1971. Exhibits since 1969, began working with video in the early 1970s. Taught at Zagreb Drama Academy from 1987-1991, and 1991 as a guest lecturer at Ontario College of Art in Toronto. He also works as a graphic designer. - The artworks in this book were not commissioned, he tells in an interview "I just produced them myself. They were imagined as an intervention in the wider urban space and into the sphere of city living that concerned everyone, not just me. They were in a sense an extension of my work on Counterfeits of 1973, collage interventions into the tram tickets of the time that contained a graphic display of the city’s layout of the time and the tramlines. There were small, hardly visible interventions and changes on the tickets that at the same time suggested big changes in the layout of the city. Qua document, such a ticket was a fake. In the making of the posters I also made use of graphic elements of tram tickets because it was then a generally recognised graphic portrait of the city, of life and movement around it, an image that every inhabitant recognised".

MIT press, 2012. Large paperback. XX, 270 pp. Fine clean, unread copy. An exploration of the production, transmission, and mutation of affective tonality—when sound helps produce a bad vibe. Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread—to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat repellants used against teenagers in malls. At the same time, artists and musicians generate intense frequencies in the search for new aesthetic experiences and new ways of mobilizing bodies in rhythm. In Sonic Warfare, Steve Goodman explores these uses of acoustic force and how they affect populations. Traversing philosophy, science, fiction, aesthetics, and popular culture, he maps a (dis)continuum of vibrational force, encompassing police and military research into acoustic means of crowd control, the corporate deployment of sonic branding, and the intense sonic encounters of sound art and music culture. Goodman concludes with speculations on the not yet heard—the concept of unsound, which relates to both the peripheries of auditory perception and the unactualized nexus of rhythms and frequencies within audible bandwidths.

Kaleidoscope Press, 2010 (1995). 12mo hardcover, no jacket, as issued. 206, (4) pp. Fine clean copy. With a new foreword by the artist. - Second edition, first printing thus - of the critically acclaimed French artists' publication: an artist's book and novel of speculative fiction: "In late 1994 Philippe Parreno dictated to Liam Gillick and Jack Wendler a fantastical description of a party that had not yet occured. Snow Dancing, is a record of his original conversation and the party it described. At the Consortium in Dijon two months later, hundreds of people were invited to participate in a promotional event that played out Parreno's earlier description. The party lasted one hour and a half hours, exactly as long as it had taken to narrate it and about as long as it will take you to read this book. "Snow Dancing (1995) started with the publication of a book in which I described a promotional event, a kind of party or festival. The reading time of the text was about the same as the event itself. So the book was a score that was performed in Le Consortium in Dijon. I transformed the exhibition space that hosted the party, and this time-based architecture became the exhibition - people were invited to visit an architecture produced by a party. So the book was a score that produced a space." - Parreno, Philippe interview with Tom Morton.

New York : Aperture Foundation, 2005. Large heavy 4to. Original red clothed hardcover with mounted plate, decorated endpapers, copiously illustrated with colour photographs, illustrated throughout with intro in English. Light wear to exterior else fine copy. First edition." The intimate ache of the dollhouse and its air of manipulation (whether as consumer object or ventriloquist dummy) has become as identified with pioneering photographer Laurie Simmons as with Ibsen. She's even designed a dollhouse for a toy company. Mostly self-taught, Simmons began working in the 1970s, when color and staged tableaux were first being explored by fine-art photographers, and has since mapped out a world all her own, mostly in haunting miniature. Over the past 25 years, her photographs have conveyed a bittersweet nostalgia for the 1950s, while edgily commenting on consumerism, feminism and other fraught aspects of postwar American culture. The accompanying essay by Kate Linker concentrates on selected series that cover the artist's entire oeuvre--from "Ventriloquism," "Walking Objects" and "Lying Objects" to the 1997 "Self-Portraits" and "Café of the Inner Mind".
