Arthur Tress (b. 1940) is a singular figure in the landscape of
postwar American photography. His seminal series, The Dream
Collector, depicts Tress's interests in dreams, nightmares,
fantasies, and the unconscious and established him as one of the
foremost proponents of magical realism at a time when few others
were doing staged photography. This volume presents the first
critical look at Tress's early career, contextualizing the highly
imaginative, fantastic work he became known for while also
examining his other interrelated series: Appalachia: People and
Places,; Open Space in the Inner City,; Shadow,;and Theater of the
Mind. James A. Ganz, Mazie M. Harris, and Paul Martineau plumb
Tress's work and archives, studying ephemera, personal
correspondence, unpublished notes, diaries, contact sheets, and
more to uncover how he went from earning his living as a social
documentarian in Appalachia to producing surreal work of
"imaginative fiction." This abundantly illustrated volume imparts a
fuller understanding of Tress's career and the New York
photographic scene of the 1960s and 1970s.

The Quadrivium consists of the four Liberal Arts of Number,
Geometry, Music, and Cosmology, studied from antiquity to the
Renaissance as a way of glimpsing the nature of reality. They
synthesize number, space, and time. Geometry is number in space,
music is number in time, and the cosmos expresses number in space
and time. Number, music, and geometry are metaphysical truths, good
and beautiful everywhere at all times. Life across the universe
investigates them. They foreshadow the physical sciences. This is
the first volume to bring together the Quadrivium for many hundreds
of years.

"I would hope that I am one of a kind." -Rodney Smith Mystery and
manners, romance and fun-the sophisticated compositions and stylish
characters in the extraordinary pictures of fashion photographer
Rodney Smith (1947-2016) exist in a timeless world of his
imagination. Born in New York City, Smith started out as a
photo-essayist, turned to portrait photography, and found his
niche, and greatest success, in fashion photography. Inspired by W.
Eugene Smith, taught by Walker Evans, and devoted to the techniques
of Ansel Adams, Smith was driven by the dual ideals of technical
mastery and pure beauty. This lavish volume features nearly two
hundred reproductions of Smith's images-many that have never before
been published-and weaves together a biocritical essay by Getty
Museum curator Paul Martineau and a technical assessment of Smith's
production by the Center for Creative Photography's chief curator,
Rebecca Senf. It maps Smith's creative trajectory-including his
introduction to photography, early personal projects, teaching,
commissioned pieces, and career in fashion-and provides insight
into his personal life and character, contextualizing his work and
creative tendencies within his privileged but lonely upbringing and
his complex emotional and psychological makeup. Rodney Smith is the
definitive record of the life's work and worldview of a truly
original artist.
Does the Earth have a living energy system? How do you find a
spring using a dowsing rod? What is the ancient Chinese art of Feng
Shui? Why are dragons associated with ley lines? Were sacred sites
once placed on a global grid? Was a sophisticated geomancy
practiced long ago? Written by six expert authors and illustrated
with rare engravings, woodcuts, original drawings and diagrams,
GEOMANCY is the ultimate guide to earth mysteries, exploring the
hidden frontiers of ancient knowledge to uncover the lost history
of our living planet.
Sexual homicide continues to be one of the most widely reported and
sensationalised forms of murder, attracting fascination from the
public and scholars alike. Despite this continued interest, few
empirical studies have been conducted on this particular form of
sexual crime. The Sexual Murderer provides an analytical review of
the state of knowledge on the sexual murderer and his offense, and
presents new data that confronts some of the accepted ideas and
myths surrounding this type of homicide. The authors draw on
original data stemming from both offenders and the police to
present an exhaustive and accurate picture of the sexual murderer
and his offense, and compare the sex offenders who do kill with sex
offenders who, despite being very violent, do not. Each chapter
includes a section on the practical implications of the findings,
and what the findings mean for professionals working with these
cases and for the criminal justice system. This book explores
themes including the role of fantasies, paraphilias, and
personality; criminal career; context of the crime; journey to
murder; modus operandi and crime scene; sex trade workers; avoiding
detection; body disposal pathways; and whether we can predict
sexual homicide occurrence. This book is a comprehensive resource
for academic and professionals involved in sexual homicide cases,
such as psychologists, psychiatrists, investigators and profilers,
as well as individuals working in the field of sexual violence.
This book will also be of interest to students taking courses on
homicide, sexual homicide, and serial homicide.
The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte is a condensed English
version of the French philosopher's controversial work, freely
translated by Harriet Martineau and published in two volumes in
1853. Martineau's abridged and more easily digestible version of
Comte's work was intended to be readily accessible to a wide
general readership, particularly those she felt to be morally and
intellectually adrift, and Comte's philosophy indeed attracted a
significant following in Britain in the later nineteenth century.
Comte's 'doctrine' promoted personal and public ethics and social
cohesion based no longer on metaphysics but on strict scientific
method, and anticipated twentieth-century logical positivism and
secular humanism. The first volume of this translation contains
Parts 1 to 5 and sets out the nature and importance of positivism,
leading on to an overview of the 'positive sciences': mathematics,
astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology.

progress, and outlines his theories about society and its
development through various phases - theological, humanistic and
finally scientific.
