Welcome to the world of the Philadelphia Lawyer-a man of two
identities. By day he is a mild-mannered attorney, one who has
practiced in a wide variety of legal fields from criminal to
corporate to personal injury, earning himself a stellar reputation
in the Philadelphia legal community as a hardnosed and astute
litigator. By night, his drunken and drug induced escapades are all
that keep him going, as he moves from bar to party to bed in the
hopes that somehow he can escape the boredom and mental inertia of
his job.
Based on the anonymous blog called the Philadelphia Lawyer,
HAPPY HOUR IS FOR AMATEURS is a juvenile, raucous, and entertaining
memoir that follows the antics of one lawyer in Philadelphia from
law school to law practice as he devotes 10 years of his life to
one of our country′s most popular yet unsavory professions.
Satirizing office culture like never before, his story offers a wry
and hilarious look into the monotony of the nine to five workplace
and the debauched release that goes on when the sun goes down.
Whether it′s dabbling in S&M with buttoned-down career woman,
chasing nitrous balloons with shots of Jim Beam, or overdosing on
anti-nausea medication for cancer patients to stave off his
hangover, HAPPY HOUR IS FOR AMATEURS is episodic escapism in its
most enjoyable form, as one man does whatever he can to avoid the
unfortunate realities of the law and excruciating tedium of office
life.

A beautifully illustrated introduction to the Philadelphia Museum
of Art’s encyclopedic collection  Philadelphia Museum of
Art Highlights presents more than 500 remarkable works from the
museum’s collection, featuring superb reproductions with concise
supporting texts that give readers an understanding of the
significance of each. A fascinating tour of objects from around the
world and throughout history, the 2023 volume has been revised and
expanded to include recent acquisitions, incorporate new research,
and increase representation of women artists and artists of color.
In addition to addressing the historical evolution of the
museum’s collections and looking at how major gifts of the last
decade have both added to the collection’s core strengths and
broadened the collection’s scope, the introductory essay includes
discussions and illustrations of the architectural contributions of
Julian Abele and Horace Trumbauer, as well as Frank Gehry’s
recent expansions and renovations to the museum’s main building.
This is a vital resource for anyone interested in one of the
world’s most storied museums and its extensive collection.

The first book on the Mutter Museum contain artful images of the
museum's fascinating exhibits shot by contemporary fine art
photographers. Here, the focus is on the museum's archive of rare
historic photographs, most of which have never been seen by the
public. Featured are poignant, aesthetically accomplished works
ranging from Civil War photographs showing injury and recovery, to
the ravages of diseases not yet conquered in the 19th century, to
pathological anomalies, to psychological disorders. Many were taken
by talented photographers between the 1860s and the 1940s as
records for physicians to share among colleagues and to track
patients' conditions, and demonstrate various techniques used in
medical photography including the daguerreotype, micrography, X
ray, and traditional portrait-style photography. As visual
documents of what humans endured in the face of limited medical
knowledge, these extraordinary and haunting photographs demonstrate
how far medicine has advanced.
