“A riveting tale told through personal accounts and sketches along the way—ultimately, a story of success against great odds. I enjoyed it enormously.” —Tom Brokaw The first book to tell the full story of how a traveling road show of artists wielding imagination, paint, and bravado saved thousands of American lives—now updated with new material. In the summer of 1944, a handpicked group of young GIs—artists, designers, architects, and sound engineers, including such future luminaries as Bill Blass, Ellsworth Kelly, Arthur Singer, Victor Dowd, Art Kane, and Jack Masey—landed in France to conduct a secret mission. From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. Every move they made was top secret, and their story was hushed up for decades after the war's end. Hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs, along with maps, official memos, and letters, accompany Rick Beyer and Elizabeth Sayles’s meticulous research and interviews with many of the soldiers, weaving a compelling narrative of how an unlikely team carried out amazing battlefield deceptions that saved thousands of American lives and helped open the way for the final drive to Germany. The stunning art created between missions also offers a glimpse of life behind the lines during World War II. This updated edition includes: A new afterword by co-author Rick Beyer Never-before-seen additional images The successful campaign to have the unit awarded a Congressional Gold Medal History and WWII enthusiasts will find The Ghost Army of World War II an essential addition to their library.

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and written by original author Daniel Clowes and director Terry Zwigoff, this screenplay re-imagines Clowes's universally lauded comic book as an exhilarating, expansive variant, while maintaining the hilarious melancholic tone of the source novella. Included is the original shooting script, with over thirty pages of material not used in the final film, along with a 16-page full-colour section featuring rare artwork, production drawings, photographs of the cast and crew, and annotations by the screenwriters.

What is the function of art in the era of digital globalization? How can one think of art institutions in an age defined by planetary civil war, growing inequality, and proprietary digital technology? The boundaries of such institutions have grown fuzzy. They extend from a region where the audience is pumped for tweets to a future of “neurocurating,” in which paintings surveil their audience via facial recognition and eye tracking to assess their popularity and to scan for suspicious activity. In Duty Free Art, filmmaker and writer Hito Steyerl wonders how we can appreciate, or even make art, in the present age. What can we do when arms manufacturers sponsor museums, and some of the world’s most valuable artworks are used as currency in a global futures market detached from productive work? Can we distinguish between information, fake news, and the digital white noise that bombards our everyday lives? Exploring subjects as diverse as video games, WikiLeaks files, the proliferation of freeports, and political actions, she exposes the paradoxes within globalization, political economies, visual culture, and the status of art production.

It's midsummer and midnight: the endless white night of the far north. Malyuta, a slave and hunter, feels richer than the Czar because he holds his first new-born, a son. He names the baby 'Ambrosi' which means immortal. Then comes Kuzma, the shape-shifting bear-shaman, who demands the baby from him. The child was born to Kuzma's apprentice in witchcraft. "Give him to me," says Kuzma. In return for the baby, he will make Malyuta rich or even return his youth. Malyuta refuses. All through the long summer night, he refuses. The hour of midnight passes and the shaman leaves but as he goes, he tells Malyuta that the baby he holds is a world-walker, a child of the Iron Ash, born to be a shaman. "Keep him, little man, and he will bring you misery!" Ambrosi grows into a beautiful, bright little boy, adored by his father. When Malyuta's beloved wife dies, he finds comfort in his child. Every winter, Malyuta has to leave the village on hunting trips. He leaves Ambrosi behind in the care of his grandparents. At the end of each trip he hurries home, eager to see his son again but on each return finds the villagers fear Ambrosi more and more. The child is uncanny, they say. Malyuta must take him away. Malyuta leaves the village forever, taking Ambrosi with him. From then on, Ambrosi shares his father's life and learns to be a hunter. In their small tent, in the vast frozen darkness of the arctic, Ambrosi dreams that a white bear comes to him. It is the bear-shaman, calling on him to follow his true nature. Ambrosi learns that there can be no peace for him until he accepts that he is a child of the Iron Ash and a world-walker. But he cannot bear to abandon the ageing Malyuta, whom he loves. He promises to become Kuzma's apprentice after his father is dead. But the cruel bear-shaman is not prepared to wait. If Malyuta's life is all that prevents Ambrosi becoming his apprentice, then Malyuta's death will come soon. Is there any way that Ambrosi can protect his father and escape from the bear-shaman? If you like mythic tales with fascinating villains and vivid imagery, then you'll love Susan Price's stark classic. Buy Ghost Song to dream of the northlands today.

By night he looks for visions in a spinning ice-apple. He sees a beautiful, red-headed girl who is also alone. Taking up his goshawk skin, he flies to her window. Hundreds of miles away, the penniless orphans, Glev and Kristiana, live in the Czar's palace. Every day Glev searches for a nobleman to marry his sister and make them both rich while Kristiana remains alone in their room. A noblewoman must not be seen in public. Kristiana comes to love Vulchanok but to be with him she must shame and dishonour both herself and her brother.
