  • The Heroin Diariesby Nikki Sixx

    Simon & Schuster 2007; US$ 14.99

    In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, MÖtley CrÜe's Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself. When MÖtley CrÜe was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do. He spent days -- sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers -- in a coke and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions. ... more...

  • Venus in Exileby Wendy Steiner

    Simon & Schuster 2001; US$ 17.99

    Whereas previous eras had celebrated beauty as the central aim of art, the modernist avant-garde were deeply suspicious of beauty and its perennial symbols, woman and ornament, preferring instead the thrill and alienation of the sublime. They rejected harmony, empathy, and femininity in a denial still reverberating through art and social relations today. Exploring this casting of Venus, with all her charms, into exile, Wendy Steiner's brilliant, ambitious, and provocative analysis explores the twentieth century's troubled relationship with beauty. Tracing this strange and damaging history, starting from Kant's aesthetics and Mary Shelley's horrified response in Frankenstein, Steiner untangles the complex attitudes of modernists toward both... more...

  • The Authority of Everyday Objectsby Paul Betts

    University of California Press 2004; US$ 25.95

    From the Werkbund to the Bauhaus to Braun, from furniture to automobiles to consumer appliances, twentieth-century industrial design is closely associated with Germany. In this pathbreaking study, Paul Betts brings to light the crucial role that design played in building a progressive West German industrial culture atop the charred remains of the past. The Authority of Everyday Objects details how the postwar period gave rise to a new design culture comprising a sprawling network of diverse interest groups?including the state and industry, architects and designers, consumer groups and museums, as well as publicists and women's organizations?who all identified industrial design as a vital means of economic recovery, social reform, and even... more...

  • Pop Art and the Origins of Post-Modernismby Sylvia Harrison; Donald Kuspit

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 85.00

    Harrison's study examines the critical reception of Pop Art, comparing the ideas of its New York-based critics with the strikingly similar body of thought now associated with deconstructive post-modernism. Pop Art thus spawned not only visual commentary on post-war society, but also the subversive critical consciousness now dominant in academe. more...
