An attempt to understand the past

Biographism is always a dangerous thing. When it deals with an epoch such as the Russian Art of the beginning of 20th Century it can be even more difficult to understand what really happened (something that I really do not believe is possible anyway).Russian Art of the period is a very hard subject, mostly because of the continuing changes that recent facts produced to the reception of these phenomenae.

The book of Robert Williams manage to deal with the subject in a rather pleasant way but it is almost impossible to agree with its main hipothesis: the work of three generations of Russian artists (generation can be a questionable term) could be explained based on the difficulties of these artists to reach the er... fame. Sometimes it does not explain anything at all, but help the reader to join some information dispersed among a great number of reference works that no doubt Williams had the patience to search.

Sometimes this neo-positivist procedure gives place to some forced affirmations that can be of doubtful comprovation.

Nevertheless I think William's book is fundamental. Read it without taking account his obssession to relate each part of artist's works with their lifes, and you will have a good panorama of the period with a human accent that sometimes lacks on other books of art history about the same period.

Behold Indeed
All I can say is, get your hands on this as fast as you can. The illustrations alone are indescribably beautiful - meticulously drawn in a style you will never forget. Philosophically, there is much to chew on here, literally the life-work of an obvious eccentric genius. This is NOT P.C. material by any means, much of it veering dangerously close to what many would label racism. This, however, makes the work no less intriguing.

Entertaining and educational
My nine-year-old son loves this book. He says, "I like it because you can learn about monsters from different countries. It has real information that scientists have found." I am buying it because we checked it out of the library and he wanted to re-type all of the stories so he could read them over and over again.

Excellent Resource for Chemists
Abeles, Frey, and Jenks use a very mechanistic approach to biochemistry. Whereas most traditional texts use a survey style approach to biochemistry, this text uses chemical concepts to teach the reader ways to approach a wide range of problem in chemical biology and ways to reduce problems down to molecular interactions. This is a great resource for chemists branching out into biology, but very different from texts used in biological disciplines.

In bioresonance we use patient's own oscillations for therap
The term bioresonance therapy was coined in 1987 by the Brugemann Institute for therapy with the patient's own oscillations. The idea can be quickly outlined: all diseases and their pre-conditions are accompanied or to be more correct, caused by electromagnetic oscillations. There is no pathological phenomenon without the presence of pathological oscillations in or around the body. Since the patient's own oscillations or signals are electromagnetic in nature, they can be picked up from the patient's body using special electrodes . These electrodes consist of several layers and contain a specially prepared magnetic foil with a field strength corresponding to the maximum magnetic field of the Earth, which according to scientific calculations was around three times stronger in earlier centuries than it is today. There various types of resonance therapy. One type is called type Ai. This therapy means that physiological and pathological oscillations are inverted and was used almost exclusively in the first four years of bioresonance therapy. Bioresonance can be used as a diagnostic tool. It is effective to perform Electroacupuncture according to Voll (EAV), durg testing, detection of scar interference fields, allergy testing, geopathic stress, etc. It is very useful for the treatment of any diseases using exactly what each patient needs. The programs can be divided in basic therapy, meridian related therapy, therapies according to indications and special programs. I could say, it is an electronic homeopathy.

A remarkable anthology of twenty-four poets
The Franconia, New Hampshire, farm of the American poet Robert Frost was turned into a museum and center for poetry and the arts in 1976. From that time, "The Frost Place" has been annual event wherein an emerging poet has been invited to spend the summer living in the house where Frost once lived and wrote some of his greatest poetry. The Breath Of Parted Lips: Voices From The Robert Frost Place, Volume One is a remarkable anthology of twenty-four poets, each of whom won that honor of a summer's residency and document the success of the original concept as a means of generating outstanding poetry while nurturing the poet's muse in the rooms and views that were once the inspiration of the great Robert Frost. Poem At 40: Windwashed--as if standing next to the highway,/a truck long as the century sweeping by,/all things at last bent in the same direction./An opening, as if all/the clothes my ancestors ever wore/dry on lines in my body:/wind-whipped, parallel with the ground,/some sleeves sharing a single clothespin/so that they seem to clasp hands,/seem to hold on.//And now that I can see/up the old women's dresses,/there's nothing but a filtered light./And now that their men's smoky breath/has traversed the earth,/it has nothing to do with them./And now that awkward, fat tears of rain/slap the window screen,/now that I'm naked too,/cupping my genitals, tracing with a pencil/the blue vein between my collar bone and breast,/I'll go to sleep when I'm told.
