Robert Gober by Ann Temkin, Gary Garrels, Richard Flood
Robert Gober`s inventive installations have re-defined the possibilities of both art in general and sculpture in particular. This book is the first to consider the links between Gober`s three-dimensional work and his lesser-known drawings, and reveals the extent to which drawing has served a crucial, generative role in his aesthetic process. The more than 100 drawings included in Robert Gober: Sculpture and Drawing, dating from the 1970s to the present, are shown within the context of Gober`s sculpture. Among other features of the book are a took at such works as the little-known projection installation Slides of a Changing Painting, and explorations of the artist`s methods and media. The result is the most complete overview to date on one of contemporary art`s most challenging figure.

Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Bronte, Diane Johnson, Elizabeth Seely, Emily Bronte, Ian Jack
Emily Bronte's novel is about two families in Yorkshire, a brooding Byronic hero, and a love that is stronger than death. WUTHERING HEIGHTS is her only novel--unless it is true that, upon her death, her sister Charlotte burned the manuscript of another. Drawing on the Gothic tradition, it is a tale of obsession, and tells the story of Catherine Earnshaw, a wilfull and romantic girl brought up to be a lady, and Heathcliff, the mysterious gypsy orphan. The relationship between these two remains tempestuous to its end, and affects future generations of these complicated families. The novel's complex structure and point of view were ahead of their time.
