From building skyscrapers to loading freight trains, from tearing down old houses to mining fuel, heavy equipment is everywhere!

In Understanding Close-up Photography Bryan Peterson turns his attention to a topic that is an ongoing favorite with photographers. But where most macro photography books focus on capuring subjects in nature, Peterson promises to go beyond, teaching you to photograph a range of subjects from animals and plants from the garden, beach, or mountains to objects found in the kitchen, supermarket, even the junkyard. In addition to information on equipment, exposure, light, and composition, his book will feature elements of technique that go beyond the norm, teaching you to shoot not just what is gen

Otra mirada, otros contextos, otra escritura para la critica sobre Roberto Arlt; en este libro, por primera vez, sus textos son puestos en un contexto literario (y politico) internacional. La lectura global de Close no solo conecta a Arlt con Dostoievsky (gesto repetido en la critica) sino que lo pone en el marco general de la ficcion conspirativa junto con otros escritores europeos y norteamericanos, especialmente Baroja (pero tambien Turguenev, Conrad, Henry James). Asociar a Arlt con Baroja no es muy frecuente, a pesar de las ultimas referencias del mismo Arlt a su obra: los dos, dice Close

Start with an everyday occurrence, add several helpings of absurdity, a few cups of silliness, and a dash of sickness and you get Close to Home. For more than a decade, the goofy people and brilliant humor of this single-panel strip have put smiles on the faces of readers of nearly 600 daily newspapers. It’s yielded 12 books - 10 collections and two treasuries. The latest collection, Close To Home Exposed, captures the daily hilarity of the most recent cartoon panels. As the comic’s name suggests, Close to Home provides humor that’s comfortable and familiar; yet the strip

Subjects include Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Alex Katz, Kiki Smith, Lucas Samaras, and Lorna Simpson. Here, more than 90 paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs are

Of all the mind-bending discoveries of physics--quarks, black holes, strange attractors, curved space--the existence of antimatter is one of the most bizarre. It is also one of the most difficult, literally and figuratively, to grasp. Antimatter explores this strange mirror world, where particles have identical yet opposite properties to those that make up the familiar matter we encounter everyday, where left becomes right, positive becomes negative, and where--should matter and antimatter meet--the resulting flash of blinding energy would make even thermonuclear explosions look feeble by co
