LeRoy Neiman's paintings provide an iconic vision of American sports, entertainment, and historical events in the latter half of the twentieth century. His contributions to Playboy magazine and ABC Wide World of Sports helped bring an abundant body of work -- heralded for capturing the idiosyncrasies of the body in motion -- to the mainstream. Action! explores Neiman's vividly kinetic and approachable style. 
 Action! includes Neiman's work from the 1960s through the 2000's, highlighting his keen observations and capacity to show explosive action in still images regardless of whether the subject is an athlete, musician, or a waiter. The collection of artwork is accompanied by a foreword by LSU Museum of Art Executive Director Jordana Pomeroy and an essay by Co-lumbia University School of the Arts professor Tomas Vu-Daniel. LeRoy Neiman (1921--2012) attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on the G.I. Bill in the late 1940s. He went on to teach after graduation and quickly make a name for himself as an artist for hire. He traveled the world for Playboy, writing and illustrating the column Man at His Leisure. His career accolades include five time official Olympic artist, Art-ist-in-Residence for the New York Jets, and receiving an official commission from the United Nations. His proficiency enabled him to document everything from the Ali vs. Frazier fight to the gondoliers of Venice to the wild animals on safari in Kenya.

Includes: The South, 1819--1848: A Critical Essay on Recent Worksby Edwin A. Miles, 1968This book is Volume V of A History of the South, a ten-volume series designed to present a thoroughly balanced history of all the complex aspects of the South's culture from 1607 to the present. Like its companion volumes, The Development of Southern Sectionalism was written by an outstanding student of Southern history.What caused the South's growing self-consciousness as a region? Professor Sydnor here deals with two major aspects of the problem. One is the internal development of the South. Sydnor's analysis of local and state governments provides the clue to the mainsprings of political action, and he studies the motives behind programs for economic and humanitarian reform, the trends in education, salve trading, the Indian removal, and westward expansion. The other more somber theme is the deterioration of the South's relationship to the nation: the loss of its position of political leadership, its attempts to invent political defenses for its minority position, and the gradual substitution of a sectional for a national patriotism. In this period were laid the foundations for the fateful conflict that was to follow. Sydnor's thoughtful study suggests fresh interpretations for the Missouri Compromise, the origins and significance of nullification; and his deep insight into the development of sectionalism during the 1820s makes this volume indispensable to an understanding of the South.
