[Artist Biography] Peters, Sarah Whitaker
Becoming O'Keeffe: The Early Years.
<p>New York:: Abbeyville Press 1991. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with a closed edge tear and a fold to the rear panel. By examining the period from 1915 to 1930 with flashbacks to O'Keeffe's little-known studies in Chicago and New York Becoming O'Keeffe casts a clear new light on how a fiercely independent art student became the artist Georgia O'Keeffe. The careful scholarship and persuasive arguments of Dr. Peters's textsupported with forceful clarity by her choice and juxtapositions of imagesreveal not only unexpected complexity in O'Keeffe's own work but also previously unexplored connections with work by her colleagues particularly her dealer and husband Alfred Stieglitz and the photographers Paul Strand Charles Sheeler and Edward Steichen.</p> Abbeyville Press, hardcover

USA: Eshel Books. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1986. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. 0935437185 . Of Jabotinsky a man he knew intimately Menachem Begin said "He wrote of Jewish strength before it came into being; of revolt before it took place; of a Jewish Army while its weapons were still a dream; of a Jewish State when many of our contemporaries still derided its very mention and of 'Hadar' honour respect while the manners - or lack of them - of the Ghetto still prevailed in our people. Not many were privileged to know Jabotinsky as the author did. Therefore anyone who wants to study the history of Jabotinsky's struggle for the redemption of the Jewish People for the renewal of its strength for the liberation of its Land for the re-creation of its independent State should read this unique biography of Ze'ev Japotinsky." - dust jacket.

London U.K.: Omnibus Press 2021. Book. New. Trade Paperback. Signed by Authors. 1st Edition. Trade Paperback - 1st. Print - NEW - Signed by Alex Paterson on tipped in page - The Orb have been long been acknowledged as prime instigators in 1988's acid house revolution who invented "ambient house" and took it to the top of the album charts always pushing the outer limits of electronic innovation and sonic pioneering in a parallel "Ultraworld" of their own making. Always steering The Orb's anarchic starship with an ever-changing crew of collaborators which has included Youth Andrew Weatherall Jah Wobble Steve Hillage Dave Gilmour and Lee Perry 2019 saw Alex celebrating over thirty years of visionary mischief-making on a sell-out UK tour attracting younger generations along with seasoned fellow travellers. Yet as The Orb enters its fifth decade with seventeenth album The Abolition Of The Royal Familia greeted as a late-period masterpiece Alex's spaced odyssey has not been an easy ride battered by betrayal and rip-offs punctuating triumphs. Behind the surreal samples inter-galactic sounds billowing hash-smoke and decidedly British humour lies an astonishing life story that's far from ordinary and resounds with the depth of the true survivor following their musical passions. Babble On An' Ting: Alex Paterson's Incredible Journey Beyond The Ultraworld With The Orb is the first full account of one of the last century's most fascinatingly idiosyncratic musical pioneers.
