America Hurrah and Other Plays: Eat Cake, the Hunter and the Bird, the Serpent, Bad Lady, the Traveler, the Tibetan Book of the Dead by Jean-Claude Van Itallie, ISBN 080213761X
Jean-Claude van Itallie is one of the most distinguished playwrights of the American avant-garde. A keen deconstruction of American popular culture, the America Hurrah triptych served notice that here was a major new dramatic voice. Rounded out with such works as Bag Lady, written in the voice of a deceptively insightful homeless woman; The Serpent, a fanciful interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve; The Traveller, which depicts a charismatic and brilliant artist recovering from a stroke; and van Itallie's dazzling play based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, America Hurrah & Other Plays is a definitive collection of the work of a major American playwright.

This is the only book to describe a Marine Force Recon COmpany from the point of view of a commander.

The Theory of Decorative Art: An Anthology of European and American Writings, 1750-1940 by Isabelle Frank, ISBN 0300088051
This anthology gathers together the most significant writings on the theory of the decorative arts from the mid-eighteenth century to the 1940s. The volume offers the first history of the theory of decorative art as it emerged in the West and reconstructs the debates over how to define this category of art and distinguish it from the fine arts (music, poetry, architecture, painting, and sculpture).

Through the writings of such thinkers as Diderot, Riegl, Wolfflin, Goethe, Ruskin, Elias, Wright, and Loos, the anthology traces the shifting nature of the boundaries between decorative and fine art over two centuries.
