Blum & Poe, 2017. Hardcover. FINE!. ARTShallow Puddles brims with full-color, detailed images of Yoshitomo Nara's (born 1959) titular series. These paintings are executed on shallow circular dishes, covered with small square patches of canvas, and seemingly create portals to a world inundated with water.Depicted on each is a solitary figure that, like those in many of the artist's iconic paintings, holds the viewer's gaze with its large, full eyes, some even with averted eyes. Ground and figure are the main components of each work, yet the artist's painterly execution calls attention to his manipulation of color, form and composition to create an image that transcends traditional portraiture. Included is an essay by Shigemi Takahashi, curator at Aomori Museum of Art, who has worked closely with the artist on numerous projects.pp. 64 #191123  Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Blackwell Science, Oxford, 1988. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Near Fine. Despite the high standards of safety in civil air transport, aviation disasters continue to occur; with increasing numbers of passengers being carried a year, and the move towards deregulation worldwide, it is timely to examine the risks related to air travel and to see where managers have succeeded and failed. This book argues that, even though there has been a steady improvement in air safety, lives continue to be lost unnecessarily and there is scope for improving the general level of safety. Drawing from his long experience as an airline pilot and former chairman of BALPA, the author looks at a wide range of aspects, from human factors in aircraft accidents to growing problems with operational environments and hijackings and sabotage. He argues trenchantly that there is room for improvement. pp. 314 illusts #0121 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973. Elizabeth's… Read More
