New, limited edition, hardcover coffee table book of a collection of the actor and artist Dean Stockwell's paper and digital collages. Published in 2004, this book was included in the first show of Stockwell's original works at the R.B. Ravens Gallery in Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico (Sept. 3rd - Oct. 31st, 2004). Dean Stockwell's film career spanned over seven decades and his unique and enduring mark on the world of film is undeniable. What many do not know, however, is the fact that Stockwell was also an incredibly talented and prolific collage artist. Included in the opening pages of this book are numerous testimonials by a host of well known figures in the world of art and entertainment, people such as Walter Hopps, George Herms, Ralph Gibson, Dennis Hopper and Neil Young. Below are a few excerpts from these testimonials: "Stockwell's life evolved primarily in California. He was a close friend of the late assemblage master Wallace Berman, whose life and nature affected many of us involved there in the arts from the 1950's on...Dean Stockwell's collage works are superb. The compositions are varied, inventive and complex and generally take on a mysterious narrative character. His collages have a degree of intensity both in composition and color rarely seen in the work of his contemporaries." - Walter Hopps "These are the jewels of a great eye and the macho hammer of a politically sensitive being, a sensitivity that tears at every flower opening and flag draped coffin. He's the real deal. I bought two from this show." - Dennis Hopper "I've been enjoying Dean Stockwell's art for years. The images he gathers and their juxtaposition to one another have always stimulated me to look deeper...Dean's art has been part of my music in one way or another since I first met him in Topanga in the 60's." - Neil Young This beautiful book of Stockwell's collage works stands alone as the only compilation of the great actor's explorations into the world of art. It encapsulates a deeply introspective period in his life (the early 2000s), one marked by exceptional creativity, boundless inspiration and a steadfast dedication to making his mark on a unique and delicate art form. Each of the works included in this collection is a window into the mind, heart and soul of Robert Dean Stockwell.
Experience India through the eyes of Amy Carmichael, veteran missionary of the early 1900s and founder of Dohnavur Orphanage. Lotus Buds tells the stories of the girls rescued from temple marriages and raised under her care, including 50 gorgeous sepia-toned photographs. Things as They Are presents a raw, honest view of India and Hinduism and was the first manuscript Carmichael sent back to her supporting churches telling the “real” missionary story. Churches at the time had difficulty believing her tale, which is why she prefaced this 5th edition with “confirmatory notes” from those who knew the culture. Overweights of Joy by Amy Carmichael is a moving chronicle of her work among women and girls whom she rescued from temple prostitution and from being “married to the gods” in South India. Ponnammal is the story of Amy Carmichael’s partner and primary helper in the management of the Dohnavur orphanages. All books contain the original illustrations and are reprinted unabridged and unaltered from the most recent edition Carmichael published. These titles are bound with premium grade Luminaire cloth and will form gorgeous editions to any reader or collector’s library. About the Author Amy Carmichael founded an orphanage and mission in Dohnavur, India. She spent 55 years on the field in the late 1800s and early 1900s and was a prolific author, with her books still in wide circulation across the globe.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND BOSTON GLOBE BESTSELLER • One of the most acclaimed books of our time: an unforgettable memoir about a young woman who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University “Extraordinary . . . an act of courage and self-invention.”—The New York Times NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW • ONE OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR • BILL GATES’S HOLIDAY READING LIST • FINALIST: National Book Critics Circle’s Award In Autobiography and John Leonard Prize For Best First Book • PEN/Jean Stein Book Award • Los Angeles Times Book Prize Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home. “Beautiful and propulsive . . . Despite the singularity of [Westover’s] childhood, the questions her book poses are universal: How much of ourselves should we give to those we love? And how much must we betray them to grow up?”—VogueONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, O: The Oprah Magazine, Time, NPR, Good Morning America, San Francisco Chronicle, The Guardian, The Economist, Financial Times, Newsday, New York Post, theSkimm, Refinery29, Bloomberg, Self, Real Simple, Town & Country, Bustle, Paste, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, LibraryReads, Book Riot, Pamela Paul, KQED, New York Public Library
