"A vivid and enlightening account of the Russian people in 1942 - the people who again and again have amazed the world by turning back the ruthless and powerful German Army. This book tells what those people are like and explains how and why they have been able to archive military miracles. It tells how they live in this war - how men, women, and children work and fight; how, whenever they can, they enjoy themselves; what they read and what they believe in; what they are fighting to preserve and to archive; what changes the war has brought about."

1982Presents three simultaneous one-man exhibitions of Cuevas' works displayed at Schweyer-Galdo, Meeting Point and Tasende Galleries. These exhibitions were "conceived with the purpose of presenting as complete an image as possible of the artist's inquietude and of his iconography, in cities where he was not well known. The exhibition at Schweyer-Galdo Galleries in Birmingham, Michigan, shows Cuevas' oeuvre from 1965 to the present. It gives an idea of the artist's trajectory during fifteen years of fertile production, and summarizes, without simplifications, the images and human miseries which obsess Cuevas. Most of the works in this retrospective show are part of a collection selected by the artist and previously exhibitied in museums thoughout the United States, South America and Europe for the past four years. The exhibitions in Coral Gables and La Jolla comprise some of Cuevas' latest works, created during his many sojourns in Europe. Cuevas and I have selected these works together." - Jose M. Tasende.

1967342 pages including index and many black and white photographs. "The years between 1822 and 1967 saw Canadian history in the making, not only in large cities and populated areas, but also in small rural communities such as Douro in Peterborough County. Herein are chronicled facts of historical importance in the area. There are also glimpses into the lives of many who served the township well during the generations. Some of these were very colourful folk indeed. Several of Canada's best known writers were domiciled here. Pioneer days in Upper Canada are recalled from old records, diaries and family lore.... Those who get to know Douro in these pages will appreciate how proud its natives are of their township and why many visitors return here year after year. Here is law observance and a history of good interfaith and interracial relations which could be a model for all Canada" - from dust jacket.
