Please don't let them take my legs. This was Tom Whittaker's only thought as he struggled to remain conscious. It was the night after Thanksgiving, and Whittaker, a brash young mountaineer who was fast making a name for himself in the climbing world, was pinned in the front seat of his vehicle on a remote road in Idaho. An out-of-control car had just smashed head-on into his Volkswagen bus, crushing his legs. When he awoke from emergency surgery, he discovered that his right foot had been amputated and that his kneecap had been removed. Lying in his hospital bed, he thought, "My body has always defined me, and now all I can do is sit in its wrecked remains, scared, hopeless, and alone." Just thirty-one years old, Whittaker had to completely reinvent himself. He overcame pain, anger, and thoughts of suicide to embark on a new life of success and adventure. His journey back began when he had a realization: you don't need your legs to go kayaking. Soon he was testing himself-and a series of artificial feet-on rock climbs, and in time he was back at the dangerous game of high-altitude mountaineering. Tom Whittaker never let his dream die. And on May 27, 1998, he made history by becoming the first disabled person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain. Higher Purpose is his heroic story. Along the way, he takes the reader on his most harrowing adven-tures-struggling to survive in Everest's "Death Zone," free-falling from a rock face a thousand feet above Yosemite Valley, kayaking solo down a deadly whitewater river in Tasmania, getting caught in a rock fall in the Alps, racing to avoid an impending avalanche on the Matterhorn, and much more.

First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 270 pages; Notes Includes discography (p. [243]-252), bibliography, and index. Summary; John Lennon is one of the most well known founders of rock 'n' roll. Geoffrey Giuliano looks at the man who was perpetually at odds with himself and unravels the mystery of Lennon's private life through interviews with family members and friends, letters, and never before published diaries and tapes from Lennon himself. What the book reveals in chapter after chapter, is a man desperate for help but surrounded by people Lennon perceived to be bent on his continued fall into depression, bulimia, and cultism. The reader finds that Lennon is full of contradictions--devoted husband and adulterer; he is portrayed as a doting dad, but was an absentee father; a macrobiotic health enthusiast who wrestled with alcoholism, heroin addiction, and bulimia; he was a spokesman for world peace, but was unable to control his volcanic temper; a vocal feminist and recalcitrant chauvinist; an innovative and influential rock 'n' roller who renounced music for years. As this book makes abundantly clear, Lennon himself was painfully conscious of his weaknesses, excesses, and failings, of the disparity between the public image and his everyday person. He spent a lifetime struggling to understand himself and to reconcile the conflicts within him, a struggle that ended in New York in 1980 when he was assassinated. Lennon in America offers a revolutionary and all-too-human view of the twentieth century's most legendary rock 'n' roller by the writer most qualified to tell the tale.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. This glorious volume presents one of the best-known collections of contemporary studio crafts, assembled by Dorothy and George Saxe of California. Although it is especially noted for its comprehensive assemblage of studio glass, the collection also includes important works, mostly from the last decade, in the other craft media - ceramics, textiles, wood, and metalwork. Contemporary Crafts and the Saxe Collection is an unmatched resource for those interested in studio crafts, including as it does a separate essay on each medium by a leading authority, detailing its postwar history and surveying the major artists, collectors, dealers, institutions, exhibitions, and publications involved in each. The essay on studio glass is by Susanne K. Frantz, Head of the Curatorial Department at The Corning Museum of Glass; on ceramics by Martha Drexler Lynn, Assistant Curator of Decorative Arts, Los Angeles County Museum of Art; on fiber arts by Jane Fassett Brite, Director and Curator, Walker's Point Center for the Arts; on wood by Edward S. Cooke, Jr., Associate Professor of American Decorative Arts at Yale University; and on metalwork and jewelry by Laurie A. Stein, Curator of the Werkbund-Archiv, Berlin. Davira S. Taragin, Curator of Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Glass at The Toledo Museum of Art, contributes essays on the Saxe Collection and on the flowering of studio crafts in the postwar period, as well as an extended interview with Helen W. Drutt English, legendary curator, historian, dealer, collector, and doyenne of the studio craft movement in America. Part of the Saxe collection was recently given to The Toledo Museum of Art, which organized an exhibition of 123 objects by 98 artists.Contemporary Crafts and the Saxe Collection reproduces each of these objects in full color and provides a thumbnail biographical sketch of each artist. The exhibition also travels to The Saint Louis Art Museum; the Newport Harbor Art Museum, California; and the Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
