Damn the Man!: Slang of the Oppressed in America, by Tom Dalzell, 2010. 8.5x11,
208 pages, softbound: Language plays an important role in the culture of
dissent, and slang can serve as a means of defiance and liberation. "It is no
accident that the liveliest language in America is often the product of the
ghetto, shtetl, slum, barrio, barracks, and prison yards," notes author Tom
Dalzell. "Slang becomes for the oppressed an outward and physical manifestation
of a subversive refusal to be subservienta witty, humorous, and effective
gesture of resistance." This fascinating survey examines hundreds of colorful
expressions, each accompanied by examples of usage in books, movies,
periodicals, and other sources. Vernacular sources include communities of
African Americans, immigrant minorities, poor whites, gay men, the armed forces,
prisoners, the workplace, and countercultures. Students of language and casual
readers alike will savor this lively look at an age-old form of protest.

Sketching the Countryside: How to Draw the Vanishing Rural Landscape, by Frank
J. Lohan, 2010. 8.5x11, 272 pages, softbound book. Both experienced and
aspiring artists can benefit from this practical instruction book, which shows
how to portray rustic settings from rural England to the American Southwest.
More than 400 detailed illustrations trace the steps from composition drawings
to final sketches. Author Frank J. Lohan introduces his guide: Artist and author
Eric Sloane (1905-85) portrayed bygone rural America and its tools, structures,
and way of life. He shared his honest appraisals and overwhelming affection for
our rural heritage in more than 20 books and thousands of drawings and
paintings. Some of the things he wrote about still exist, although each year
sees the further decay and destruction of many such relics. Since my teen years,
I've enjoyed drawing the textures of old barns and farm buildings and their
settings in the landscape. I know I'm not alone in this delight, so the primary
purpose of this book is to show how to draw such subjects (including artifacts
from other countries). Many historic outdoor museums maintain early buildings
Williamsburg and Great Smoky Mountains National Park are just two where you
can still see and feel and savor things of the past. Reprint of the Contemporary
Books, Chicago, 1989 edition.
