1945127231945. Original wraps. Very Good -. A wonderful significant piece of World War II history. A fragile booklet a log mapping out in detail the schedule and itinerary of this American battalion.

This booklet has obviously travelled long and far but has held up nicely and is still very solid in its stapled salmon-colored wrappers. Light creasing and a bit of inevitable wear are far outweighed by the miracle of these returning heroes all 106 of them signing their names and addresses on the "Memoranda" pages and the pastedowns of this very scarce logbook. <br/><br/> paperback books

"Public Body is the third book in a trilogy dedicated to Marina Abramovic and presents the work ''Transitory Objects for Human and Non-Human Use.'' In this work Abramovic built a series of transitory objects with the objective of engendering active audience participation. Abramovic hit upon the idea while she was walking along the Great Wall of China; she realized that it was the first time that she was doing a performance without an audience. To transmit this experience she constructed a series of objects: for ''human use'' ''spiritual use'' and ''use of power.'' These objects--made of iron wood minerals pigs' blood and human hair--all ''contain a certain kind of energy'' according to Abramovic. She does not see these works as sculptures but as ephemeral objects that trigger public experiences through direct interaction. Whereas the first two books in the trilogy Performing Bodyand Artist Body focused on the artist and her oeuvre Public Bodyflips the proverbial script enacting a role reversal between artist and audience. The book features an impassioned essay by Abramovic concerning her thoughts on public performance and her recent trips to China India Japan and Brazil as well as an interview with the artist by Germano Celant." - Google Books.
