Arnheim; Gestalt and Art is the first book-length discussion of the powerful thinking of the psychologist of art; Rudolf Arnheim. Written as a complete overview of Arnheimrsquo;s thinking; it covers fundamental issues of the importance of psychological discussion of the arts; the status of gestalt psychology; the various sense modalities and media; and developmental issues. By proceeding in a direction from general to specific and then proceeding through dynamic processes as they unfold in time (creativity; development; etc.); the book discovers an unappreciated unity to Arnheimrsquo;s thinking. Not content to simply summarize Arnheimrsquo;s theory; however; Arnheim; Art; and Gestalt goes on to enrich (and occasionally question) Arnheimrsquo;s findings with the contemporary results of gestalt-theoretical research from around the world; but especially in Italy and Germany. The result is a workable overview of the psychology of art with bridges built to contemporary research; making Arnheimrsquo;s approach living and sustainable.

Gothic PrideBy Duncan"Gothic Pride" is a small jewel composed of many gems. The complex story of the building of Newarks suprisingly successful cathedral is at its center; but there are also sparkling bits of biography and small nuggets of the histories of immigration and socio-economic change - not to mention church politics to rival NJs Hague Machine.
