1927ref. 58169Wilkes-Barre Pa: Smith-Bennett Corp. 1927. Scarce First Edition. A collection of letter tributes to Kirby and presented in this book form during a 1927 Christmas Party at the Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Barre. Fred Morgan Kirby 1861-1940 was from Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania and the founder of the F. M. Kirby & Co. 5 & 10-cent Store chain and a philanthropist. Kirby’s company was a major rival of the much larger F. W. Woolworth & Co. and the two businesses merged in 1912. Fred Kirby became a Vice President of the F. W. Woolworth & Co. which was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The financial success of the F.W. Woolworth chain gave Fred Kirby in the early decades of the twentieth century an estimated fortune of approximately thirty to fifty million dollars. This enabled the businessman to establish the Fred Morgan Kirby Foundation. He became a shareholder in many other corporations including the Allegheny Railroad Company. He was also well-respected for his philanthropic spirit and he was a major benefactor to Wilkes-Barre the town where his success began. He donated the money for a community health center in memory of his mother Angeline Elizabeth Slater Kirby. He also donated the money for a park and its upkeep to be in the center of Wilkes-Barre as well as numerous other cultural institutions throughout the city. In addition to these philanthropic activities Fred Kirby became one of Lafayette College’s foremost benefactors. By far his most significant endowments to the college were for the establishment of the Fred Morgan Kirby Professorship of Civil Rights in 1921 and for the construction of the Kirby Hall of Civil Rights in 1929.

2017ref. 183612New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers 2017. Hardcover. VG very crisp and clean appears unread. Color illustrated boards with white and yellow lettering; xiv 262 pp; illustrated in bw and color. Interpreting Visual Art explores the psychological and cognitive mechanisms that underlie one's interpretation of art. After the brain encodes visual information this encoding is then processed by perceptual mechanisms to identify objects and depth in pictures. The brain incorporates many factors in order for people tosee the art. Cognitive processes have a major role in how people interpret artworks because attention memory and language are also linked to the aesthetic experience. Catherine Weir and Evans Mandes first examine major attributes of aesthetic judgement--balance symmetry color line and shape--from an empirical point of view as opposed to more philosophical and speculative approaches. Then they explore the perceptual process paying special attention to art history in the Western world and emphasizing techniques from cave paintings to modern art. The role beauty and emotions play in our interpretations of pictures have been investigated from many approaches: evolutionary psychology neuroscience and appraisal theory. Through the application of empirical research in cognitive science to master works from Botticelli to Pollock readers are introduced to a research-oriented understanding of how art has been perceived interpreted and appreciated in the twenty-first century. This book will appeal to those interested in art as well as those teaching art history psychology and neuroscience.--Publisher's description.
