The first collection of Mark Rothko's writings, which range the
entire span of his career While the collected writings of many
major 20th-century artists, including Barnett Newman, Robert
Motherwell, and Ad Reinhardt, have been published, Mark Rothko's
writings have only recently come to light, beginning with the
critically acclaimed The Artist's Reality: Philosophies of Art.
Rothko's other written works have yet to be brought together into a
major publication. Writings on Art fills this significant void; it
includes some 90 documents-including short essays, letters,
statements, and lectures-written by Rothko over the course of his
career. The texts are fully annotated, and a chronology of the
artist's life and work is also included. This provocative
compilation of both published and unpublished writings from
1934--69 reveals a number of things about Rothko: the importance of
writing for an artist who many believed had renounced the written
word; the meaning of transmission and transition that he
experienced as an art teacher at the Brooklyn Jewish Center
Academy; his deep concern for meditation and spirituality; and his
private relationships with contemporary artists (including Newman,
Motherwell, and Clyfford Still) as well as journalists and
curators. As was revealed in Rothko's The Artist's Reality, what
emerges from this collection is a more detailed picture of a
sophisticated, deeply knowledgeable, and philosophical artist who
was also a passionate and articulate writer.

In Judo Foundations, Miguel Lopez sensei with his more than forty
five years practicing judo nationally and internationally, is
sharing his knowledge if the roots, philosophy, meaning of the judo
techniques, and how to excel in judo while underscoring the
importance of judo values and its essential role in society.
A collection of poems by M. Miranda Maloney "The Lost Letters of
Mileva (Albert Einstein's wife) are really those of many women,
mothers, artists and intellects, who have been forgotten to
history. They are also Maloney's letters to Mileva, insisting, as
if to a kindred soul: "There was a story here." And that story is
complex, teeming with the joys of love and connection to place, but
also its difficulties." -Rosa Alcala
Examining the keys to a multicultural education within a real
school setting, this book is a valuable tool for teachers in
today's changing world. The growing phenomenon of immigration is
creating new social, cultural, and educational scenes, and teachers
are approaching one of the most important challenges in the history
of formal education. Schools must successfully manage the inclusion
of students whose diversity can be perceived at every level,
whether it be cultural, linguistic, religious, or social, and this
book will aid teachers as they work with their students to develop
an inclusive and productive school environment. "Examinando las
claves para una educacion multicultural dentro de un entorno
escolar real, este libro es una herramienta valiosa para los
maestros en el mundo actual cambiante. El creciente fenomeno de la
inmigracion esta configurando nuevos escenarios sociales,
culturales y educativos, y los maestros estan abordando uno de los
retos mas importantes de la historia de la educacion formal. Las
escuelas necesitan manejar efectivamente la inclusion de
estudiantes cuya diversidad puede ser percibida a todos los
niveles, ya sea cultural, linguistica, religiosa o social, y este
libro ayudara a los maestros mientras trabajan con su estudiantado
para desarrollar un ambiente escolar inclusivo y productivo."
"Utopian Dreams, Apocalyptic Nightmares" traces the history of
utopian representations of the Americas, first on the part of the
colonizers, who idealized the New World as an earthly paradise, and
later by Latin American modernizing elites, who imagined Western
industrialization, cosmopolitanism and consumption as a utopian
dream for their independent societies. Carlos Fuentes, Homero
Aridjis, Carmen Boullosa, and Alejandro Morales utilize the
literary genre of dystopian science fiction to elaborate on how
globalization has resulted in the alienation of indigenous peoples
and the deterioration of the ecology. This book concludes that
Mexican and Chicano perspectives on the past and the future of
their societies constitute a key site for the analysis of the
problems of underdevelopment, social injustice, and ecological
decay that plague today's world. Whereas utopian discourse was once
used to justify colonization, Mexican and Chicano writers now
deploy dystopian rhetoric to interrogate projects of modernization,
contributing to the current debate on the global expansion of
capitalism. The narratives coincide in expressing confidence in the
ability of Latin American and U.S. Latino popular sectors to claim
a decisive role in the implementation of enhanced measures to
guarantee an ecologically sound, ethnically diverse, and just
society for the future of the Americas.
