Now Bernstein completes the saga with The Golden Willow, a heart-lifting memoir of his life with Ruby, a romance that lasted nearly seventy years. Then Bernstein wrote The Dream, the touching tale of his family’s immigrant experience in Depression-era Chicago and New York. In his first book, The Invisible Wall, he told a haunting story of forbidden love in World War I–era England. ![]() ![]() ![]() Only it was a secret that we kept to ourselves.” Harry Bernstein started chronicling his life at the age of ninety-four, after the death of his beloved wife, Ruby. “The golden willow was the first tree we had planted when we came here to live, and Ruby and I had good reason for doing that. ![]() ![]() ![]() Writers will find advice on such topics as rethinking the table of contents, taming runaway footnotes, shaping chapter length, and confronting the limitations of jargon, alongside helpful timetables for light or heavy revision. ![]() ![]() Germano offers clear guidance on how to do just this. But even dissertations strong enough to be published as books first need to become book manuscripts, and at the heart of From Dissertation to Book is the idea that revising the dissertation is a fundamental process of adapting from one genre of writing to another. Acknowledging first that not all theses can become books, Germano shows how some dissertations might have a better life as one or more journal articles or as chapters in a newly conceived book. The author of Getting It Published, Germano draws upon his extensive experience in academic publishing to provide writers with a state-of-the-art view of how to turn a dissertation into a manuscript that publishers will notice. William Germano's From Dissertation to Book is the essential guide for academic writers who want to revise a doctoral thesis for publication. But a dissertation is written for a committee and a book for the larger world. All new Phd's hope that their dissertations can become books. ![]() ![]() ![]() We could find many examples of this kind telling us how inadequate the language is for the expression of taste, only one example more: try to describe the taste of sweet or sour-impossible to find the right word.”įurthermore color is “the most relative medium in art” (from: Interaction of Color) depending on the light of the surrounding, on the form and quantity of the color, on the other colors, the background, on our own flexible way of looking. But the psychic reactions are still different. ![]() Only the pigment red, the color by itself, is able to get all the different imaginations into the same direction. Even when you explain this red more precisely through other words, dark, light, deep, flat, active, substantial, loose, dense, transparent, opaque-still we will have different reds in our minds. ![]() The interaction of these four greens creates tension and the unexpected sensation of different tastes, different beats. ![]() Between these yellow greens Albers placed two blue greens: a lighter grey blue green and a dark cobalt green. In the lecture Abstract Art (August 1935) Josef Albers says: “Take for instance the word red. The light green on the right has more yellow in it, as does the darker green on the left. Any form can be described, but trying to catch color in words is impossible. Even knowing that visual language is a totally different language than the language of words, each acting on its own level, color is still a very difficult subject to describe. In 1963, Albers published Interaction of Color, which is a record of an experiential way of studying and teaching color. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book’s third section, titled “Development” (following “Composition” and “Exposure” and preceding “Exhibition”), is the weakest, but by that time you will be in too deep in Ian’s story to part ways with him. Ian, the narrator, develops into the classic Hitchcockian (anti-)hero: double-dealt, haunted and hunted, paranoid and pursued by demons of his own making. This is true even in a story full of women, from the narrator’s wife Faith and his ex-mistress Nicole to psychotherapist Daphne and flame-haired vulcanologist Asga. Take the woman at the focal point of this mystery: Who is Marian Esguard? Where is she? Does she – did she ever – exist? Goddard’s women are much like Hitchcock’s, and no femme is more fatale than this one none will leave you more suspended between question and answer, mystery and solution. He describes scenes from Sussex to Snaefellsnes (in Iceland) with photographic clarity and creates compelling stories out of slices of obscure history. Reading a Goddard novel, you feel suspended between fact and tantalizingly true fiction. ![]() |
