Winner of the 2014 Cleveland Arts Prize, Richard Myers has been producing experimental and documentary films for over 40 years. The Films of Richard Myers chronicles his work, along with descriptions and reviews by critics such as Roger Ebert, Arthur Knight, Roger Greenspun, Kevin Thomas, and Amos Vogel, as well as short reviews by Stan Brakhage and Pauline Kael. The major part of the book includes 180 stills from the films, all photographed by Myers. While his background is in painting, printmaking, and still photography, Myers emerged as a filmmaker in the early 1960s when independent experimental films were truly independent. Myers conceived, wrote, photographed, directed, and edited the films. His actors are family and friends, from his wife Pat to his grandmother, mother, and son, to Kent State University faculty and students. Myers’s films have been shown all over the United States, from the Cleveland Cinematheque to the Museum of Modern Art, from the Ann Arbor and Chicago Film Festivals to the Whitney Museum of American Art. He has received awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, The American Film Institute, and the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2014 he was awarded the Cleveland Arts Prize.

Liberal Education and Value Relativism: A Guide to Today's B.A

Many if not most of the students who enroll in Bachelor of Arts programs do so without a clear sense of purpose. This book introduces new or prospective university students to the B.A. degree. It seeks to explain the nature and purpose of liberal education, and discusses how liberal education is being undermined in today's university. This book is designed to help students get the most out of their university years by encouraging them to think more carefully aobut the ultimate aims of their education. It explains how the various academic disciplines taught at today's university can contribute to the quest for liberal education. In doing so, they give students a better sense of what they should be looking for in their courses, and a better idea of whether the B.A. is really the right program for them. It also provides some practical advice for choosing a course of study and for evaluating university courses and professors.

Do you have questions about the creation of the universe? Who? What? Why? When? How? The written word of God's creation in the Bible and the physical record in the universe provide answers. The truth of the Bible and the truth revealed in God's nature do not have to conflict. Written by Dr. Richard Myers, professor of chemistry and dean emeritus of a College Arts and Sciences, this book presents in simple language how scientific discoveries increasingly point to the God of the Bible as the creator.

Lucid and readable, The Canadian Regime is a well-established, well-known introduction to Canadian government. By explaining the inner logic of parliamentary government, as well as the underlying rationale for its institutions and processes, the authors demystify what might appear to be a relatively complex political system. Urging readers to consider the organic nature of the political system—in which change in one area inevitably ripples through the rest of the system—the authors provide much more than just a description of the features of government.
The fourth edition has been updated to include analysis of the 2008 Canadian federal election. Discussions of responsible government and the role of the Governor General have been revised and expanded. Coalition government, the Single Transferable Vote, and the emergence of the Green Party are explained and new developments in Senate reform and Supreme Court appointments are also covered.

Lucid and comprehensive, The Canadian Regime provides a unique analysis of Canada's political regime by challenging readers to think of the political system as an organic entity where change in one area inevitably ripples through the rest of the system. The book's focus on the inner logic of parliamentary government explains the rationale for Canada's relatively complex political system.
The new edition includes analysis of the 2011 federal election and the implications of a return to majority government rule. Discussions of the Constitution, Charter, Senate reform, and judicial appointments are all updated, and new material is provided on the prorogation controversy, voter turnout, equalization payments, and prime ministerial government. The Canadian Regime continues to provide the most accessible introduction to the institutions, processes, and principles of the Canadian political system.
