2004Alibris.0018158Mon Decor Gallery. 2004. Hard cover. Very good in very good dust jacket. 60 p. Includes: illustrations index. . Renato Cristiano: A Journey Through Painting documents the life and art of a remarkable Italian artist who first achieved great success in the 1950s as an acclaimed abstract artist whose work is included in the collection of numerous Western institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 1955 marked the year of Cristiano's arrival in Bali after a circuitous journey through the Far East in search of adventure and inspiration. There he became acquainted with and grew to be part of the lively expatriate artist community during a time of great political and social change in Indonesia. Among one of his first patrons was President Sukarno whose keen eye for art drew him to Cristiano and led to his personal acquaintance with the Italian artist. Like many expatriate artists before him Cristiano's life and work is inextricably interwoven with the Island of the Gods especially after his marriage to his Balinese wife Wayan Nesa. Cristiano is currently recognised as one of the most talented artists working in Bali after World War II and this book is not only a stunning visual retrospective of more than a half-century of work but also the intriguing tale about an individual of great artistic insight and perception. Author Bruce W. Carpenter an expert on the stories and personalities of the place and era strives to open new vistas in this book on a seminal figure in Balinese expatriate art.

Handwritten note from Kris Stoever the daughter of Scott Carpenter is laid in. Publisher's promotional material also laid in. Includes Prologue; Epilogue; Notes; Acknowledgments; and an Index. Part 1 covers Earth; Part 2 covers Sky; and Part 3 covers Stars. The book also contains Epilogue Notes Acknowledgments and Index. Scott Carpenter with his daughter Kris Stoever clears up all lingering questions about his flight while telling the history of an amazing frontier family and the strength of the American pioneer spirit. Malcolm Scott Carpenter May 1 1925 - October 10 2013 was an American naval officer and aviator test pilot aeronautical engineer astronaut and aquanaut. He was one of the Mercury Seven astronauts. Carpenter was the second American after John Glenn to orbit the Earth and the fourth American in space after Alan Shepard Gus Grissom and Glenn. Carpenter became a naval aviator flying a Lockheed P-2 Neptune with Patrol Squadron 6 VP-6 on reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare missions along the coasts of Soviet Union and China during the Korean War and the Cold War. In 1954 he became a test pilot. He was backup to Glenn during the latter's Mercury Atlas 6 orbital mission. Carpenter flew the next mission Mercury-Atlas 7 in the spacecraft he named Aurora 7. Due to a series of malfunctions the spacecraft landed 250 miles 400 km downrange from its intended splashdown point but both pilot and spacecraft were retrieved. Derived from a Kirkus review: Mercury astronaut Carpenter and his daughter tell his life story thus far. The immediacy of the story is exemplified in the description of the few hours when Carpenter is in his Aurora 7 orbiting Earth: he then takes control of the story much as he did his capsule when the fuel ran out due to equipment malfunction. Carpenter spent his early years in the company of his grandparents. As a military test plot at Patuxent he became a prime candidate for the Mercury Program. Description of the screening and selection process for that adventure its endless "psychophysiological nit-picking" hews closely to Tom Wolfe's handling of it in The Right Stuff. The space flight is the centerpiece a truly dangerous and punishing mission "I was trained to avoid any active intellectual comprehension of disaster" he notes as his spacecraft started to fail him. His work for SeaLab after the Mercury Program gets mentioned. Carpenter comes off the pages to reveal the elemental audacity we've come to associate with the seven Mercury astronauts.

Carpenter. Publisher's white wrappers with printed title. Some mild sunning to edges but a very good copy. Only 2 copies located by OCLC.Squaw Rock is now called Frog Woman Rock and it is a distinctive volcanic monolith located in Mendocino County California in the Russian River canyon through the California Coast Ranges. In 1956 Squaw Rock was designated California Historical Landmark number 549 with a description based upon Palmer's 1880 Mendocino County History: "This early landmark also called Lover's Leap is associated with the purported legend of a 19th-century Sanel Indian maiden Sotuka. Her faithless lover Chief Cachow married another; all three were killed when Sotuka holding a great stone jumped from the precipice upon the sleeping pair below" State of California Office of Historic Preservation. Frog Woman is an important figure in Pomo traditional beliefs. She is generally portrayed as the clever and powerful wife of Coyote the principal trickster character in many Pomo stories. In some of the stories she is the mother of Obsidian Man. Frog Woman lived at the place that later became known as Squaw Rock. Pomo people avoided the rock for fear of being eaten by Frog Woman. "Helen McCowen Carpenter 1838-1917 grew up in Indiana and when a teenager graduated from the Bloomingdale Quaker Academy with a teaching credential. In 1855 Helen moved with her family to Kansas Territory where she began her professional career at age 17. Kansas was in political turmoil as it prepared to enter the Union and the McCowens who were staunch abolitionists worked to make it a “free†state rather than one that allowed slavery. Helen met her future husband who was also on the abolitionist side when Aurelius Ormando Carpenter was wounded fighting for the free-state movement at the “Battle of Black Jack†an altercation that is now considered the first military engagement leading up to the Civil War. After helping nurse Aurelius to health Helen and he married on Christmas Day in 1856. Five months later the newlyweds traveled west to California in an ox wagon train with Helen’s parents and other family members. Helen was four months pregnant with her first child when they arrived in Grass Valley California in October 1857. Within two years the Carpenters and McCowens had moved further west to Potter Valley in Mendocino County where other relatives were already settled. There Helen became the first teacher certified by the new County Board of Education and worked as an educator for the next decade. in 1869 the Carpenters relocated to Ukiah the county seat. There they established a photography studio where Helen assisted her husband “A.O.†by running the studio and taking portraits during his extended work-related absences as a newspaperman and traveling photographer. Her admiration for the beautiful basketry of the Pomo Indians led her to become a respected Pomo basket collector; an avocation she passed on to her daughter Grace and son-in-law John Hudson. A prolific writer whose work is now enjoying increased recognition Helen wrote and published articles and stories on the customs and history of the local Pomo Indian peoples and early pioneer days in Potter Valley and Ukiah" Grace Huson Museum The San Francisco and North Pacific Railway unknown
