The Bus Stop / Michals, Duane; Sackner MA; Sackner RK; Sackner SE; Sackner DR; Sackner JD., 1980

 Item
Identifier: CC-59858-10002913
Scope and Contents

This family portrait was photographed by Duane Michals and titled "The Bus Stop" for the story without words told by the eight photos he selected from the many he took in front of a white New York building. As the Sacker family enters in chronological order and waits for the arrival of a bus, they appear as total strangers to each other with no communication among them. The bus arrives, they get on and it remains a mystery whether they ever made contact with each other. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The Cherokee Lottery: A Sequence of Poems / Smith, William Jay ; Dupont A., 2002

 Item
Identifier: CC-46264-48985
Scope and Contents These poems relate the story of the trail of tears suffered by the American Indians on their forced removal to reservations. The book cover is from an engraving by the French artist Albert Dupont that first apperaed in Smith's book, Le Sentier (The Trail). From Booklist: "Smith's sequence of moving, extraordinarily visual poems brings us to the heart of one of the nation's greatest tragedies and, many say, sins--the "removal" of the five civilized tribes, via the Trail of Tears, from their homelands in the eastern U.S. to the Oklahoma territory. Part Choctaw himself, Smith uses several different voices in the sequence, such as those of an old Choctaw on the trail, remembering the "buzzard man" who presided over funeral rites, while mourning the many who died without such appropriate ritual; the great Choctaw chief, Pushmataha, who traveled to Washington in a failed attempt to gain a hearing for his people; and artist Charles Banks Wilson, sketching the last of the purebloods in...

The Consolations of Philosophy / de Button, Alain., 2000

 Item
Identifier: CC-34627-36328
Scope and Contents This is the first edition, first printing of the book. Kirkus Associates provided the following review. "Having changed lives with the help of a French writer (How Proust Can Change Your Life, 1997), de Botton now seeks to offer those lives needed consolation and specific advice with the writings of some of the world's most illustrious philosophers. If too many nowadays find thinkers Nietzsche and Schopenhauer stifling and irrelevant, they need only turn to this witty, engaging book to see how wrong they are. These men de Botton also calls on, Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, and Montaigne, were in their own sometimes abstruse ways actually giving some down-to-earth, practical advice about how to cope with life's miseries and frustrations.
