New York Times-bestselling writers JEFF LEMIRE (GIDEON FALLS,
DESCENDER), MATT KINDT (BANG!, MIND MGMT), and internationally
acclaimed artist DAVID RUBÍN (ETHER, BEOWULF) unite on this
original graphic novel, COSMIC DETECTIVE. An epic science fiction
mystery that asks: when a God is murdered, who solves the crime?
Enter our Detective. The murder of a god threatens to tear
apart the very fabric of our reality. Only our detective stands in
the way of utter destruction. But will the mystery he uncovers be
worse than the disaster he’s trying to avert? And will his mind
crack under the revelations he’s about to uncover before he can
do anything about it?
Appropriate for one or two term courses in introductory Business
Statistics. With Statistics for Management, Levin and Rubin have

mathematical/statistical notation necessary to teach the material.
Concepts are fully explained in simple, easy-to-understand language
as they are presented, making the text an excellent source from
which to learn and teach. After each discussion, readers are guided
through real-world examples to show how textbook principles work in

SANTIAGO GARCIA and DAVID RUBIN unite to bring forward the myth of
Beowulf, which has endured for a thousand years, inspired an epic
poem, become a foundational piece of English literature, and
influenced generations of authors: from J.R.R. Tolkien and Seamus
Heaney to a multitude of Hollywood screenwriters. BEOWULF tells of
the tale of a Scandinavian hero in lands that would become what is
now Denmark and Sweden. A monster, Grendel, has arrived in the
kingdom of the Danes, devouring its men and women for over a decade
until Beowulf arrives to save them. GARCIA and RUBIN faithfully
follow the original story for a new version that is neither
revisionist nor postmodern, but captures the tone and important
details of the poem, translating its potent, epic resonance and
melancholy into a contemporary comic that isn't standard swords and
sorcery or heroic fantasy fare, but rather an ancient story with a
modern perspective that remains respectful of the source material.
Three artists explore form, energy and movement from the smallest
scale that humans have discovered to the sacred geometry of nature
to the realms of the human body. Informed by science, observation
and intuition, the invisible is brought to light in three distinct
styles developed from deep exploration and fine craft. The word
Quintessence, from the ancient Greek for the mysterious 'fifth
element', is now used as a descriptive term in cosmology for
equally mysterious 'dark energy'. It is a fitting theme for the
desire of artists to make the invisible visible and show the
underlying energy sources in and around us. This is the exhibition
catalog for Quintessence, Three Visions at the Ram Dass Library of
the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, April 20 - October 30,
2014. The three artists are: Alicia Hunsicker, who fuses her
knowledge of physics and biology with the beauty found in nature's
organic forms and patterns, inspired by her residency at the Large
Hadron Collider; Pamela Turczyn, who by using sacred geometry as
expressed in nature, light, color, rhythm, sound and intention,
imbues her paintings with vibratory codes to inspire viewers. The
creator of a pantheon of two hundred deities, Janet Morgan's
current work shows the conduction of life forces in and around the
body. As a team they explore form, energy and movement from the
tiny to the vast. Introduction by the award winning science fiction
author Kim Stanley Robinson, with essays by David Rubin,
independent curator, the artist John Sims, Amina Eagle, curator at
the Omega Institute, and mathematician and author Michael
Schneider.
The history of an aesthetic sensibility that began with Op Art and
album covers; with more than seventy-five stunning color images.
This eye-popping book offers a visual history of the psychedelic
sensibility. In pop culture, that sensibility is associated with
lava lamps, album covers, and "teashades," but it first manifested
itself in the extreme colors and kaleidoscopic compositions of
1960s Op Artists. The psychedelic sensibility didn't die at the end
of the 1960s; Psychedelic traces it through the day-glo colors of
painters Peter Saul, Alex Grey, and Kenny Scharf, the pill and hemp
leaf paintings of Fred Tomaselli, the intensified palettes of
Douglas Bourgeois and Sharon Ellis, and mixed-media and new media
works by younger artists in the new millennium. Although the term
"psychedelic" was coined to describe hallucinatory experiences
produced by drugs used psychotherapeutically, the story these
images tell is about the influence of psychedelic culture on the
art world-not necessarily the influence of drugs. As contemporary
art evolved into a diverse and pluralistic discipline, the
psychedelic evolved into a language of color and light. In
Psychedelic, more than seventy-five vivid color images chart this
development, exploring the art chronologically, from early Op Art
through recent work using digital technology. The book, which
accompanies an exhibition organized by the San Antonio Museum of
Art, includes three essays that set the works in historical and
cultural context. Artists include Isaac Abrams, Albert Alvarez,
Richard Anuszkiewicz, Chio Aoshima, Kamrooz Aram, Jeremy Blake,
Richie Budd, Gordon Cheung, Judy Chicago, George Cisneros, James
Cobb, Steve DiBenedetto, Carole Feuerman, Jack Goldstein, Alex
Grey, Peter Halley, Al Held, Mark Hogensen, Constance Lowe, Erik
Parker, Ed Paschke, Lari Pittman, Ray Rapp, Deborah Remington,
Bridget Riley, Susie Rosmarin, Alex Rubio, Sterling Ruby, Julian
Stanczak, Jennifer Steinkamp, Frank Stella, Philip Taaffe, Barbara
Takenaga, Fred Tomaselli, Victor Vasarely, Michael Velliquette,
