Henry McBride (1867-1962) became a towering figure in art criticism during a long career that began in 1913 -- the year of the famous Armory Show in New York that opened American eyes to avant-garde developments in European art -- and continued until the advent of Abstract Expressionism in the late 1940s and early 1950s. A sensitive and discerning observer of the changing cultural landscape, McBride not only wrote prolifically for publication but also corresponded extensively. In this remarkable collection of selected letters, Henry McBride describes some of the most important events and figures of twentieth-century modernism. Written in a characteristically charming, gossipy, and warm-hearted style, these letters reveal McBride's responses to revolutionary changes in the world of art and in the world at large.

Closely allied to the pivotal circles that shaped modern culture, McBride counted among his correspondents such friends as Gertrude Stein, Carl Van Vechten, the Stettheimer sisters, Alfred Stieglitz, Charles Demuth, Georgia O'Keefe, and Marianne Moore. His letters, along with the biographical introduction, headnotes, and rich annotation provided in this volume, present a unique perspective on twentieth-century modernism by one of its most ardent supporters.

Critical Perspectives on J.M. Coetzee is one of the first collections of critical essays on this major contemporary writer. The essays, written by an international cast of contributors, adopt a variety of approaches to Coetzee's often controversial work, taking care to place that work within its wider cultural context. Contributions include essays of more general import, ranging across Coetzee's oeuvre, as well as essays that analyse in more detail individual Coetzee novels. The collection also includes a preface by Coetzee's fellow South African, the internationally acclaimed writer Nadine Gordimer.

It isn't a typo on the front cover. This book really is the perfect way to transform your 'busyness' into a thriving business. Exploring each of the blocks that you'll need to conquer in order to achieve true freedom in your professional and personal life, the author takes you through a simple, practical and actionable model known as The Pyramid of Time Mastery, that will help you to develop the time habits for success. Too often, being 'busy' is seen as a sign of success, but this book turns that idea on its head, and encourages you to stop wishing for more time - but instead shows you how to make more of the time you already have available to you. There are only two problems with time. Firstly, there isn't enough of it. And secondly, anything you do to free-up time doesn't seem to work. You try it. It might or might not work for a while. But you never stick to it - slipping back into old ways, eventually. In fact, there's a common misconception about time - 'There isn't enough of it... and there's nothing that can be done about that'. This isn't true, of course. Some people are massively efficient. They always get stuff done. They don't procrastinate. They achieve lots each day. After reading this book... you'll be that person. You'll get a lot MORE done in a lot LESS time. In this book, Steve's come up with some clever techniques and ideas to help you find more time to achieve what you want and need in your business. And, more critically, he shows us how to embed these new techniques, so that they become our habits. This is life-changing stuff. If you can save an hour per week, that's 50(ish) hours per year - which is one whole working week! That's a holiday! Save 2-3 hours a week, and you've saved 2-3 weeks per year. Weeks you'd probably have spent in boring meetings or engaged in other stuff you just don't need to do. As I say... life-changing. My advice? Get some paper, a pen and a cuppa. As you read and learn, write down everything in this book that will save you time. And then, implement it straight away. (I have a response ready for you if you tell me you don't have the time!) I know lots of people who've followed Steve's techniques in business. Those techniques work, and you're about to save yourself weeks every year.
