A Treasury of Impressionism

Shrikes are a group of spectacular predators, many with brilliant colors and striking displays and sounds. Located in North America, Eurasia, and Africa, they occupy a wide spectrum of terrestrial habitats, from sparsely vegetated deserts to tropical forests, and have diverse foraging and breeding strategies. Capturing this diversity is the primary goal of Shrikes and Bush-Shrikes, the first field guide to cover the identification, biology, and relationships of all 114 species of shrikes and their close relatives.
 All species are portrayed in 41 beautiful color plates, consisting of over 480 illustrations that depict differences in sex, age, geographical variation, and flight pattern. Facing the plates are identification captions and color distribution maps for at-a-glance reference. Detailed species accounts provide current knowledge on field identification, plumage descriptions, geographical variation, moult, distribution, movements, foraging behavior, food, sounds, and breeding behavior. The guide provides an explanation of the history of relationships within the group, highlighting issues of conservation and species identification. For each genus, acoustic and visual signals are summarized and used to map similarities in an effort to identify species from the perspective of behavioral communication.
 Shrikes and Bush-Shrikes responds to the great interest in shrikes that has developed over the last century, along with controversies surrounding their origins and classification. It offers new identification strategies as well as extensive information in a format designed to please everyone from birders to conservationists to ornithologists.

This isn't another book about advertising. It's an inside look at how companies count on your obsession with food, alcohol, drugs and sex to drive behavior modification-permanently. It's not enough to build a better Super Bowl commercial (sorry, but true); the new end game is about changing your entire mindset. Consultant to the brands that define our digital lifestyles, Tony Harris holds nothing back while explaining how FADS have become so relevant in a technology-enabled world. With straight-faced candor, he explains that humans are easily manipulated and marketers know it. That's why the FADS that drive us wild say we're fat, we're no fun, we need to relax, and we'll probably die alone. Anything to get you hooked on the next pea-protein, no whip, grown-in-the-lab latte. Spend 10 minutes with Tony Harris and you'll walk away knowing ten things you didn't know before you met him. By the time you finish FADS MARKETING, you'll have new insights about: <ul> <li>Food: What marketers know about food-related trigger points; the five senses and stuffing our faces; specialty foods for special consumers.</li> <li>Alcohol: Why booze and the law is a match made in hell; mainstream alcohol marketing featuring weirdos; everyone's doing it (selling alcohol).</li> <li>Drugs: Marketers know we love a quick fix; yes, you are depressed; the Cannabis revolution.</li> <li>Sex: Marketers know everyone fears rejection; you're gross, no sex for you; who needs 'live nude girls' when you've got sex robots?</li> </ul> Each chapter features expert interviews and wraps with Harris' predictions for what's coming next. Anyone who's worked with him won't be surprised to see that some of them are already happening. The only question left is, what book is coming next from Harris himself, and who's the target?

Traditionally the term 'shrike' has been confined to the typical or true shrikes, the helmet-shrikes and the bush-shrikes - a well-known group of small to medium-sized birds with strong, hooked and toothed, raptor-like bills. This book adopts a wider definition - based on an analysis of behavior (especially communication behavior) and other characteristics - and includes the batises and wattle-eyes within the group. Tony Harris's text presents many new and exciting ideas on the biology of shrikes and includes much unpublished material from his own field experience. His detailed introduction provides a general comparative analysis of the various characteristics that define the group. This is followed by the 32 species accounts, which contain exhaustive informative on identification, habitat, status, behavior and breeding biology. A summary of data for quick reference and two distribution maps conclude each account. The book ends with a glossary of scientific terms, a comprehensive bibliography, and a detailed index. The text is accompanied by 34 magnificent full-page color plates by Graeme Arnott, depicting adult birds in typical examples of their preferred habitat. Supporting these paintings are 25 full-color sketches (illustrating characteristic postures as well as juveniles and nests), four anatomical sketches in color, and a number of pencil drawings. The combination of Tony Harris's authoritative text and Graeme Arnott's sensitively executed illustrations will ensure that this book is widely acclaimed and appreciated - not only by professional and amateur ornithologists, but also by connoisseurs of Africana, discerning judges of contemporary wildlife art, and collectors of fine illustrated books.

The Legacy of Cornelius Cardew

Cornelius Cardew is an enigma. Depending on which sources one consults he is either an influential and iconic figure of British musical culture or a marginal curiosity, a footnote to a misguided musical phenomenon. He is both praised for his uncompromising commitment to world-changing politics, and mocked for being blindly caught up in a maelstrom of naÃ¯ve political folly. His works are both widely lauded as landmark achievements of the British avant-garde and ridiculed as an archaic and irrelevant footnote to the established musical culture. Even the events of his death are shrouded in mystery and lack a sense of closure. As long ago as 1967, Morton Feldman cited Cardew as an influential figure, central to the future of modern music-making. The extent to which Cardew has been a central figure and a force for new ideas in music forms the backbone to this book. Harris demonstrates that Cardew was an original thinker, a charismatic leader, an able facilitator, and a committed activist. He argues that Cardew exerted considerable influence on numerous individuals and groups, but also demonstrates how the composer's significance has been variously underestimated, undermined and misrepresented. Cardew's diverse body of work and activity is here given coherence by its sharing in the values and principles that underpinned the composer's world view. The apparently disparate and contradictory episodes of Cardew's career are shown to be fused by a cohesive 'Cardew aesthetic' that permeates the man, his politics and his music.
