2021br. "Ambulance Songs 2" è il seguito collettivo di un inclassificabile atto d'amore nei confronti del potere salvifico delle canzoni, di quel libro-manifesto per un'erotica della musica in cui Luca Buonaguidi e Salvatore Setola sceglievano narrazioni inconsuete rispetto ai classici registri della critica, per raccontare di vite immerse nella musica. Un libro-blog che aveva in www.ambulancesongs.com un'estensione potenzialmente infinita, per chiunque volesse condividere con gli autori del libro lo stesso amore ma per altre canzoni. 2 anni, 200 contributi di quasi 150 musicofili e un centinaio di migliaia di visite dopo, oggi il blog si è trasformato in una casa per tutti quelli come noi. Una versione senza confini della stanzarifugio in cui ognuno è diventato un tutt'uno con le proprie canzoni, attraversando dolore, perdita, solitudine, nostalgia, follia, ribellione, amicizia, amore, euforia... ma anche momenti apparentemente banali, che restano attaccati alle canzoni come epifanie memorabili. Se il primo libro era un kit di pronto soccorso per musicofili in crisi di senso, e il blog era la stanza-rifugio che si riempiva, "Ambulance Songs 2" è l'antologia dei testi pubblicati sul blog: voci e storie condivise intorno alla musica, testimonianza di una commozione diffusa, di vita in vita, di canzone in canzone. Scritto dai lettori e curato dagli autori, con questo secondo capitolo, come cantava Nick Drake, "Now we rise / We are everywhere".
2019ill., br. "Ambulance Songs" è un inclassificabile atto d'amore e devozione nei confronti della musica e del potere salvifico delle canzoni. Un libro commosso per "non dimenticare le canzoni che ti hanno salvato la vita" e per un'erotica della musica, che deponga le ostilità dell'interpretazione in favore del sentimento poetico. Gli autori Luca Buonaguidi e Salvatore Setola propongono narrazioni inconsuete rispetto ai classici registri della critica, prediligendo di brano in brano uno stile emotivo, intimo e in consonanza poetica con lo spirito dei diversi brani scelti e in cui poesia e prosa si affiancano in interazione reciproca, per raccontare i due emisferi dell'ascolto nell'attimo esatto della scossa sismica prodotta dalla musica nell'anima di un appassionato. Il volume ha la struttura di un cofanetto con tanto di ghost track, bonus track e contenuti extra - a cura degli ospiti Diego Bertelli, Carlo Bordone e Claudio fabretti - e copre una moltitudine di generi, epoche e tematiche: dalla ribellione all'amore, dalla follia alla malinconia, dal dolore alla spiritualità. II risultato è una playlist eterogenea che affianca pietre miliari a capolavori dimenticati, ma soprattutto un kit di pronto soccorso per musicofili in crisi di senso. Un invito alla catarsi attraverso la musica.

2010réf. 95102Society. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 304 pages; 440 illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; Studies in Medallic Art; American Art Medals 1909-1995 is the first comprehensive study of the two most important series of art medals produced in the United States: the medals of the Circle of Friends of the Medallion 1909-1915 and those of the Society of Medalists 1930-1995. Together these two series offer an unmatched panorama of American medallic sculpture in the twentieth century. Founded by the art writer Charles de Kay and the collector Robert Hewitt Jr. the Circle of Friends of the Medallion issued only twelve medals in its brief existence. Occurring however at a time when the Beaux-Arts movement had brought medallic art to a higher prominence among sculptors than it has enjoyed before or since the series is of great significance for the development of the American art medal. The Society of Medalists during its life of sixty-six years produced a much more extensive series: 128 regular issues one of which includes six separate pieces as well as four special issues designed for the Society and one other special issue of an already existing medal. This body of work showcases the development of diverse artistic styles among figurative sculptors of the twentieth century from classicism to modernism. The 123 sculptors whose work was presented in this series include almost every major American medalist of the era as well as several notable artists from other countries. In addition to cataloguing the issues of these two medallic art organizations this book features an innovative effort to record the different colors and patinas in which the medals were issued. Especially for the Society of Medalists whose long history meant that different production batches of a particular medal might have been made several decades apart this hitherto neglected dimension in the study of art medals shows how changes in the surface finish can yield truly startling variations in the visual impact of a design. . 2010. 0897223179 .

Stephen Galatti Director General of the American Field Service and the American Field Service International Scholarships is considered a notable example of a volunteer dedicated to the cause of humanity and improved world understanding. The growth and high reputation of the American Field Service is a direct reflection of his integrity and capacity and wisdom. Stephen Galatti volunteered in the American Field Service in 1915 and was decorated for bravery and outstanding service. It was primarily through his efforts that the American Field Service was held together during the period between the two World Wars and thanks to this that it was ready for the call of France in 1939 and for World War II. Subsequently under Stephen Galatti's leadership the American Field Service made the distinguished record about which you will read in this book. After World War II a meeting was held in New York at which the future of the American Field Service was discussed. It was the desire of those present that the organization should continue under Stephen Galatti's leadership to try to help international relations and in particular to interpret the vast and complex United States of America to our friends. No leader could have done it better. Platen Press - H. Wolff Book Mfg. Co. hardcover
