"In the World But Not of It" Offering a glimpse into a world largely misunderstood by mainstream society, this book documents the period of eight years that Jane Flynn practiced with Mennonites in two different Southern Illinois communities: Stonefort, and Mount Pleasant in Anna. Despite her status as an outsider, Flynn was welcomed and allowed to photograph the Mennonites in their homes, making applesauce, farming, and beekeeping. Escaping persecution from the Catholic Church in Europe, the Mennonites arrived in America in 1683, settling in what is now Pennsylvania. Today, they live in almost all 50 states, Canada, and South America. To reflect the Mennonites' manual-labor lifestyle, Flynn processed her black-and-white photographs by hand and hand-printed them in a dark room. The imagery explores the Mennonites' labors, leisure, and faith by documenting their homes, places of work and worship, and the Illinois Ozark landscape they inhabit. Similar to the Amish and the Quakers, Menn

This monograph, a singular immersion into the world of world-famous designer Jacques Grange, takes readers on a private tour of his works around the world. Over the course of his fifty-year career, Jacques Grange has established himself as the eminent interior designer to great collectors, artists, designers, and trendsetters. Through some thirty recent projects in Europe and America, the internationally renowned decorator offers a private tour of his most recent achievements. With a rich diversity of locations--including a luxury Parisian h矌el particulier, mansions in London and New York, and a chic seaside cabin in Portugal--the refined taste and creativity of Jacques Grange unite harmoniously. The sumptuous and exclusive photographs by Fran蔞is Halard sensitively capture the French and resolutely contemporary spirit of each of these projects. Previously acclaimed by the international press, this new edition of this monumental monograph features two new chapters and previously unpubli
World War I and its aftermath witnessed a global revolution. This was reflected in the revolutionary war aims of most of the belligerents, the technological revolution that made the war so deadly, the revolutionary sentiment that grew among ordinary combatants, and the revolutionary pressures that led to the collapse of the Romanov, Habsburg, and Ottoman empires. In this revised edition of World War One, Lawrence Sondhaus synthesizes the latest scholarship on the war and incorporates insights from the vast body of work published during the war's centenary. He charts the political, economic, social and cultural history of the war at home and on the frontlines as well as the war's origins, ending and transformative effects on societal norms and attitudes, gender and labor relations, and international trade and finance. The accessible narrative is supported by chronologies, personal accounts, guides to key controversies and debates, and numerous maps and photographs.

This work gives an 'inside' view of Chinese theatre and the actor in performance. In doing so it also challenges Western theatre artists such as Brecht, Grotowski, Barba and Schechner, who have extracted from Chinese theatre elements which might enrich their own theatres. Jo Riley writes from her personal observations of, and dialogue with, Chinese actors and her first-hand experiences of the theatre world of China in general, none of which was possible before 1980. She uses not only jingju (so misrepresented as Peking opera) but also exorcism, puppet theatre and ancient animation rites at the tomb to provide models for exploring the process of creating presence on the Chinese stage. Her study is well illustrated with photographs and diagrams and is accessible to anyone interested in theatre, even those with no knowledge of Chinese or Chinese theatre.
