The Art of Ancient America: Civilizations of Central and South America (Art of the World)

Sigvald Linne

Hans Dietrich Disselhoff

Here is a survey of Roman art and culture from the time of the first settlements on the eastern bank of the Tiber to the moment when secular Rome was succeeded by ecclesiastical Rome during the middle ages. For a long time, Roman art was considered essentially nothing but a deriviative, provincial form of Greek art. It is the special aim of the author to stress the unique quality of Roman culture and to present it as a national art,in spite of all the outside influences. Celts, Iberians, Germans, Greeks, Anatolians, Syrians, Egyptians and North Aftricans have blended their culture with that of Romans, but the Roman identity was so strong that it was able to absorb, digest and master all these foreigh influences. Professor Hahler with the aid of history clarifies the meaning of "Roman" and then enlarges on the specific aspects of Roman art and culture. Romans had a very unusual feeling for space. As a result, those arts in which spatial characteristics predominate reflect the Roman contribution to world civilization: architecture, reliefs, portrature, and murals. The majority of the illustrations in this volume, potraying these arts, give evidence of the importance of the Roman impact on European culture. This volume included dozens of full color plates printed on high gloss stock as well as several black and white photos and illustrations which richly amplify the scholarly text.

From the Thames Foyer at the Savoy in London to the Essex Rose in Dedham, Loaves and Hyacinths: Tea Rooms in London and East Anglia tells the story of author Gladys S. Lewis and artist Norma K. Brown's journey to over fifty British tea rooms. Their pilgrimage resulted in the book Loaves and Hyacinths, which richly describes each tea room with graceful prose and over thirty color paintings. Both author and artist found the perfect setting in the tea rooms to stop each day to take tea and to relax about life. 
Tea rooms are a development of the last hundred years. In England, they have become an extension of the British economic and colonial involvment with the tea producing regions of the world. Volumes exist which take as subject coffeehouses, but little is recorded of tea rooms. The original ones were limited in appeal to women. They provided a place for afternoon tea and talk. Men remarked that more scandal originated in them than "hovered over the course of Good Queen Bess." The Tea room became the women's lodge, or the men's coffehouse counterpart. 
The tea room made ints debut when restuarants had indifferent interiors and carelessly prepared food which was unattractively served. In contrast, tea rooms were small, snug and homely places. With the evolution of more substantial menus and the endurance of tea time, they have become centers for men as well as women. Tea rooms are not exclusivly British, but those encountered in England have a distinctive atmosphere. The principles of harmony, respect, purity of custom, and tranquility are present in the English tea room, and Loaves and Hyacyinths characterizes the uniqely British aesthetic experience. This is not a travel book, though Lewis and Brown crisscrossed the hamlets, villages, and towns of East Anglia. Neither is it a food critic's guide, though they ate in more than fifty tea rooms. Rather, the book highlights the journey to the social, historical, geographical, and literary environments and captures the essence of the renewing and relaxing experience of taking tea.

Dr. John E. Poarch draws form more than thirty years of psychiatric practice to reveal the human soul and psyche. He creates composites of characters who march on and off stages to illustrate the truths categorized in succinct chapter titles. Thirteen chapters create a collection of imaginary psychotherapy sessions with fictionalized patients to explore such issues as the individual conflicts from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building of 1995; facing disturbed armed patients (with a knife in one instance, and a gun in another); the difficult struggles of marriage; problems of adolescence; parental reactions to homosexual children; and situations of death and dying. In an accessible writing style, he addresses the humanity and psychology garnered from the decades of his practice, both from patients and his own struggles, and instincts his audience in the process.

My Sacred Obsession, one of three novels she left, illustrates the therapeutic benefit of writing. Ritchey's family commented that the writing was not very "good," but good or bad writing is not the issure here. The human story is. Charlene Ritchey's personal story, filtered through her fictional ones, offers an illustration of writing as a way people redefine social order as a survival means. Rather than reading fictions as themes and complex works of art, we often enrich ourselves more by understanding that writings of various kinds shape and re-shape the ways in which a culture envisions itself and structures its problems. Writers who do such work give a means of ordering the worlds they inhabit, and, by analogy, offer instruction for the rest of us with our own chaos and confusion.
