Abstraction haunts medieval art, both withdrawing figuration and
suggesting elusive presence. How does it make or destroy meaning in
the process? Does it suggest the failure of figuration, the
faltering of iconography? Does medieval abstraction function
because it is imperfect, incomplete, and uncorrected-and therefore
cognitively, visually demanding? Is it, conversely, precisely about
perfection? To what extent is the abstract predicated on
theorization of the unrepresentable and imperceptible? Does
medieval abstraction pit aesthetics against metaphysics, or does it
enrich it, or frame it, or both? Essays in this collection explore
these and other questions that coalesce around three broad themes:
medieval abstraction as the untethering of the image from what it
purports to represent; abstraction as a vehicle for signification;
and abstraction as a form of figuration. Contributors approach the
concept of medieval abstraction from a multitude of
perspectives-formal, semiotic, iconographic, material,
phenomenological, epistemological.

In 1911, a young John Shaw from South Carolina had his first taste
of flying. In 1926, two years after the plane crash death of his
best friend, he attempted a solo flight record in a refitted 1923
Curtiss Jenny. Then, with half the journey completed, his plane was
caught in a storm, went down, and for seventeen years he was listed
as missing, presumed dead. 'The Longest Winter' is a work of
fiction, the tale of one man's life. His story is one of despair
and courage, tragedy and triumph-stranded on an uncharted rocky
island, his body broken by the crash, John is adopted into a tribe
of Aleuts, until the evacuation of the Aleutian Islands in May
1943. This is John's story.
Homeowner's Guide: How to Survive the Worst Real Estate Market in
History. Members of the Real Estate Rescue Network Team are
advocates for individuals and families with distressed properties.
Through our experience and extensive training, and that of our
strategic partners, we support homeowners as they deal with
challenges during this unprecedented time in real estate history.
Our network's goal is to educate homeowners and help them explore
every option available so they can make informed decisions
regarding their futures. Having a network of competent
professionals who are dedicated to seeing homeowners weather the
storm with dignity, integrity, independence and without abuse,
neglect, and exploitation is where we start. Beginning with the
goal of home retention we evaluate a number of aspects, including a
comparative market analysis of homes in the area, expert opinions
of the future of the real estate market, and the homeowner's
current and projected financial situation. If it is not possible to
keep the homeowner in their home or they feel it is more
financially prudent to move on, our trained real estate
professionals endeavor to facilitate a short sale to preserve the
quality of the homeowner's credit. After a Realtor(r) has found a
buyer for the home our experts handle all negotiations with the
servicer on the homeowner's behalf. If it is necessary for the
homeowner to move, we assist by recommending other qualified
professionals to aid in the transition. But, we don't stop there.
Looking to the future we suggest families begin working immediately
with our credit repair experts, so that when the market shifts to a
more favorable position they are ready to buy a home again. We
don't like to consider foreclosure an option. The Real Estate
Rescue Network is your complete resource from A to Z. Give us a
call today at 816-875-8481. "A must read for every homeowner...
It's that important." - Jim Davis, Keller Williams Realty "The new
