Into the wild: Journey into the world of Peter Beard (1938-2020) Photographer, collector, diarist, and writer of books Peter Beard has fashioned his life into a work of art; the illustrated diaries he kept from a young age evolved into a serious career as an artist and earned him a central position in the international art world. He was painted by Francis Bacon and painted on by Salvador Dalí, he made diaries with Andy Warhol and toured with Truman Capote and the Rolling Stones—all of whom are brought to life, literally and figuratively, in his work. As a fashion photographer, he took Vogue stars like Veruschka to Africa and brought new ones—most notably Iman—back to the U.S. with him.
After spending time in Kenya and striking up a friendship with the author Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) in the early 1960s, Beard bought a piece of land near hers. He witnessed the dawn of… Leer más

Near fine. No marking."In recent years the study of consciousness has moved well beyond the borderlands of the popular press and pseudoscientific writing, to become an important field of scholarship in its own right. It now increasingly permeates many disciplines such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, and medicine. In this book, one of the first scholarly works on consciousness to specifically address the fields of social psychology and sociology, and for the first time richly addressing gender issues, Professor Alexander Walker gives us a fine review and a textbook on the influences of consciousness studies in these as well as other scholarly disciplines.'

Irene Emery's innovative construction of a comprehensive system for describing fabrics was recognised as a classic on its first publication in 1966.Foxing to title pages and pages 340 and 341. Tight binding, no marks or inscriptions. Minor wear to dust jacket. Great copy.
Based on years of study of a huge range of fabrics produced by hand or by strictly limited mechanisation, its essential strength is its universality. In this monumental work, the structures and the descriptive terms applied to them are clearly presented according to their logical relationships to each other, moving from the simplest to the most complex. The book is divided into three parts: the raw materials of fabric structures (filaments and fabric elements); the fabric structure themselves, whether felted or made from interworked yarns; and structures such as stitches or appliqué.
