简介:From the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th, Paris was that good place - the only place, it seemed, where an American woman of strong feeling, of artistic ambition of wayward impulse or sheer joie de vivre could be wholly herself. William Wiser draws portraits of five American women who made Paris their home: painter Mary Cassatt, novelist Edith Wharton, those mercurial gadabouts and tragic wives, Zelda Fitzgerald and Caresse Crosby, and the one and only Josephine Baker. Here also are fascinating cameos of Gertrude Stein, Janet Flanner, Sara Murphy and other luminaries, all set against and shaped by the spell of the City of Light. Paris meant possibilities. These five had utterly different responses to this freedom - but as Wiser shows, the web of connections among them was strong and Paris was its centre.
简介:People of European descent form the bulk of the populationin most of the temperate zones of the world--North America,Australia and New Zealand. The military successes of European imperialism are easy to explain because in many cases they were achieved by using firearms against spears.Alfred Crosby, however, explains that the Europeans' displacement and replacement of the native peoples in the temperate zones was more a matter of biology than of military conquest. Now in a new edition with a new preface,Crosby revisits his classic work and again evaluates the ecological reasons for European expansion.
简介:In 1980, an NBC documentary, "If Japan Can . . . Why Can't We?" introduced Dr. W. Edwards Deming to this country and launched the Quality Revolution in business. This straightforward account of the Total Quality movement is written by the team responsible for that groundbreaking report. QUALITY OR ELSE demystifies the theories of the four main Quality gurus -- W. Edwards Deming, Philip Crosby, Armand Feigenbaum, and Joseph Juran -- telling how they are similar, where they differ, and how today's business people can use their thinking.
Let’s Talk Quality:96Questions You Always Wanted to Ask Phil Crosby
作者: (美)菲利浦·B·克劳士比(Philip B.Crosby)著;克劳士比中国学院管理顾问中心译
出版社:经济科学出版社,2003
简介:本书里面的问题,虽然有些随着时间的转移而有所改变,不过大部分仍然保持我们对质量一贯所持有的理念,以及针对质量学院里众多学员在自己公司中所碰到的实际问题。 本书所选辑的问题和解答可以相当自然地归为五大类: 第一部分,往日旧习(Thewaywewere)。这一部分是给其他的部分做个开场白,让读者们知道情况已经恶化到何种地步。 第二部分,质量革命(Thequalityrevolution)。它所探讨的是如何去面对国内市场和国际市场的变化。 第三部分,质量思想(Thequalitythinking)。此部分所探讨的重点放在质量改进过程本身及其中所包含的思想。 第四部分,质量行动(Thequalityaction)。它很清楚地说明了“在象牙塔中是解决不了问题的”。最后,也就是第五部分,质关系(Thequalityrelation-ships)。它所谈论的问题都围绕着企业文化与质量的关系。 在本书的末尾,我做了一个结论,试图将我们在追求质量方面的过去的经历、现在的状况和未来的目标做个总结。《来谈质量》中所述的96个问题代表了我认为一个正在进行的质量改进过程所必备的“更多>>

【媒体评论】
"The setting of this I Can Read is 1778, when British soldiersinvade the American colonies, forcing Letty to leave behind the onepossession she values most - her gander, Solomon. She places a noteto the soldiers on the mantle, begging them to save the life of herbird. Her family piles into the wagon, and heads for the hills, tosafety. Waiting is agony: From their hideaway with friends, Letty'sfamily can hear gunshots, and see the smoke of burning houses;travelers' tales of plundering offer little reassurance. When Lettyand her family finally return, their house has been ransacked, butit's still standing. On the mantle is a note, in verse, from thesoldiers, who have spared Solomon's life and left a bag full ofBritish pennies to pay for the geese they devoured. Along with therealistic watercolors, Walker maintains the inherent suspense ofthe story throughout; new readers will be glued to the pages rightto the rewarding conclusion."
--Kirkus Reviews
简介:"Wherever they have been introduced, total quality concepts such as teamwork, interdepartmental partnerships, and a company-wide dedication to satisfying customer needs have been enthusiastically embraced by managers and line workers alike, and the results have been truly remarkable. But a total quality organization, by definition, is one in which all functions within an organization participate in the quality process. For accounting, this means a radical new involvement in all phases of an operation and a heightened commitment to customer satisfaction and the bottom line - in other words, total quality accounting." "Based on Michael Woods’s more than twenty years of experience in cost accounting and the implementation of total quality programs, this book was designed to help bring line managers and accountants together to create a total quality accounting process. In it, Woods offers proven techniques and step-by-step guidelines on integrating total quality practices with cost accounting and activity-based costing techniques." "Divided into three sections, the first is devoted to introducing accountants to the total quality management (TQM) principles set forth by such luminaries as W. Edwards Deming, Joseph Juran, Philip Crosby, and others, and to how those principles are currently practiced in some of the world’s top manufacturing concerns." "The second part of Total Quality Accounting familiarizes managers with cost accounting principles. It offers an in-depth look at how cost accounting has been applied in the past, and outlines the significant new changes that have occurred in the era of the total quality movement." "In the third part, Woods provides a synthesis of the first two sections. He outlines proven techniques for seamlessly integrating the accounting function with the entire organization to create a total quality accounting process." "Accountants are shown how to tailor cost and financial information to the needs of the designers, engineers, managers, andf
简介:Looking forward. This book deals with a decade marked by adventures in futurism. Published annually from 1906 until 1980, Decorative Art, The Studio Yearbook was dedicated to the latest currents in architecture, interiors, furniture, lighting, glassware, textiles, metalware, and ceramics. Since the publications went out of print, the now hard-to-find yearbooks have become highly prized by collectors and dealers. This volume spotlights the futuristic, experimental aesthetic of the 1970s. After the revolutions of the '60s, the world of design and architecture became an increasingly exciting and fast-moving hotbed of ideas, rife with vehemently opposing schools and movements. In many ways it was a more extreme era for design than the previous decade. Experimentalism was everywhere, and many projects, thought not practical, were forward-thinking visions of a new kind of decorative art and design. Various groups advocated returning to natural methods, rejecting style in favor of craft or pushing the logic of industrial living to its concrete, high-rise extreme. Decorative Art 1970s includes the work of the decade's brightest stars, such as Afra and Tobia Scarpa, Luigi Colani, Ettore Sottsass, Achille Castiglioni, Kisho Kurokawa, Norman Foster, Richard Meier, and Theo Crosby.
简介:Summary: Publisher Summary 1 It wouldn't be Christmas without the "things." How they came to mean so much, and to play such a prominent role in America's central holiday, is the tale told in this delightful and edifying book. In a style characteristically engaging and erudite, Karal Ann Marling, one of our most trenchant observers of American culture, describes the outsize spectacle that Christmas has become, showing us the provenance and significance of each of its essential parts: the decorated trees and holiday lights, the cards and gifts and wrapping papers, the toy villages and store displays and Macy's holiday parade, Bing Crosby and Santa Claus.Viewing Christmas through the media of mass culture--engravings and lithographs, magazine fiction, pictorial ads, news photos, cards, and movies--Marling tells us how the beloved Christmas tree grew out of a much-reprinted image of Queen Victoria and her family gathered around a decorated fir; how Santa Claus lost his provincial Dutch character and turned into the jolly old soul we know; how Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carolborrowed from Washington Irving's imaginings of what Christmas must have been like in Merrie Olde England; and how the holiday, balancing between the private and public realms, conferred a central and defining role on women.A celebration of the visual culture of the season, Merry Christmas!offers captivating evidence that Christmas in America is primarily a secular celebration of abundance, goodwill, and familial identity, expressed in a multitude of material ways.

简介:
当 R 收到一个包裹的时候,她知道 W 死了。
获悉与发生,大多是错位的。这很常见。但这一次是 W 的死。
很多年前 W 对R说过,他不知道在他离开世界的时候,把他多年拍摄积累的底片交给谁。他至少可以信任R。
他曾说,在他死后,他的遗嘱执行人会寄出这些底片,R 会在地球的另一端收到它们。
R 打开包裹的盒子。没有一张底片,只有二十四封信。二十四封随手写在一百多张卡片上的信。
这二十四封信里,叙述了二十四个概念,关于他的记忆、盼望、困惑、妄想,关于他永远不能实现的、只能在脑海中完成的观看。
《不存在的照片》是樊小纯写作的一本虚构书信集,整本书的视角被分裂成了讲述者与隐藏的倾听者,但*终都拢归于作者本身的叙述。信件的一隐一显的两位主角去看世间万物,通过摄影、绘画、建筑、文学所关涉的场景,来讲述世界的景观——秩序下的自我与他者。

样张1:持续不停地对焦
一个写诗的人是不应该去写散文的。
Dear R
我拍过一个片子,主角是那些患有不同精神疾病的人。
有个人有严重的强迫症。他是一个婚礼摄影师,但他无法控制自己不在拍摄前检查光圈数值。情况更严重的时候,他因为不停地检查光圈,一张都拍不成。他把照相机拿起来,再放下,反复检查光圈数值。卡夫卡式的噩梦。
我意识到持续的写作对我来说是多么困难,我有了一个概念,然后想了一会儿就停下了。我几乎可以肯定我是有多动症的。我的父亲,姐姐,都有。虽然我姐姐可以在做事情时超级专注,但她专注得停不下来。
所以,摄像这个工作很适合我。这是*一个时刻,我可以持续不停地“对焦”。
就像一匹戴了眼罩的马。
我没有去上电影学院。大学毕业后我花了一年周游世界,却在回纽约后幸运地跟随了一个大师做助手。 如果年轻人问我要不要去念电影学院,我会说:这是一个很好的启动点,如果这个院系够好的话。你会遇见好些和你有相同兴趣的人。你的同班会是你一生里的同行资源。那个课堂上坐在你身边的女人很可能成为下一个法哈蒂,而你可能成为她的DP。现在摄影机越来越便宜了,你可以立马拍摄你自己的电影。所以,不管你去不去电影学院,给自己买台相机,开始吧,不要停止。每一天都拿着相机吧。你在学习如何观看,也会渐渐知道自己是谁。
每个人都在谈论器材、装备。可是你记不记得布列松的话?他拍摄时使用的是心、脑和眼。这就是你*重要的装备。你出生时候就得到了它们,而且这是免费的。虽然它们慢慢旧了,但它们也依然每天在更新。
当你用一种强烈的设置、观点去拍一部纪录片,无论这种观点多么高尚,*终你都会变得像在传道、说教,并把它对立的那一面给离间了。而当你信任你的观众,并让他们自己来慢慢做出结论而不是告诉他们必须要怎么思考时,你的影片却有可能变得更有说服力,而且更接近本质。
成为一个纪录片摄影师,并不是出于什么无私的动机。我觉得这是世界上*好的工作。我有机会见这么多有趣的人,并*手地观看了他们的生活。
在我很年轻的时候我曾经想当一个作家,当我成为一个纪录片摄影师之后,我把自己首先看作是一个讲故事的人。我的工作具有艺术的、运动的、智力的、技术的、情绪的各种组成部分,每个部分必须同时有所作为。这要求很高,但也令人兴奋。我还能再索求什么呢?更好的日薪、头等舱、周末不工作?你不能什么都要吧。
成功是没有意义的,真正去做才有意义。我今天拍摄的时候在想,自我只是我们自己构筑心灵的一种行为。就像酒里的单宁一样,把所有都归束在一起。这种聚合力,让人感到自我。有时人把自己太当真了。我们是谁?为什么老要问呢?这是一个只对自己有意义的问题。是自己把自己当成一个东西,而不是一个过程。我不是我自己。
以上在我脑海里盘旋的内容,正是人类喜剧的原材料。
我今天不是我自己。(或任一天。)
有一次我带着设备去了墓园。摄像机上装了800毫米的镜头以及两倍增距镜。整个装备超过四十磅,但架在我身上还行。我在这些石头中走着,就像在薄雾之外等待攻击的武士。我的心是空的,身体扎在地上,眼睛扫描着景观,不聚焦,但带有目的。
我拍了一些远处发生的下葬仪式。其实没有拍到什么特别的,但能用上这镜头感觉还不错,因为我想看看这镜头能干些什么。我可以在人们不知道的时候拍下那些悲伤的脸,而且,就算人们看见了远处的我,他们也不知道我在干什么,以及我对他们的观察有多近。当然,我知道,他们的心在别处。我看见巨大的悲伤带来的眼部线条的改变、嘴角的折转,还有孩子们疑惑的双眼。有时他们有种奇异的超脱感,就像他们完全不知道正在发生什么,或者根本不在意一样。
接着,我走了几个小时,一张也没拍。我坐下来,把相机凑近自己的眼睛,聚焦于不同的东西,但都没有要拍的意思。太阳落下来,一阵冷意钻进风里,我突然看见我感兴趣的东西了:一个男人推着轮椅过草地。通过镜头我发现这个男人大概四十多岁。轮椅上的另一个男人老了,具体多少岁我看不出来,他的脸包裹在围巾内,但看上去也有八十多了。年轻的男人推着轮椅跨越草坪的时候很费力。年老的男人好像是在对年轻的男人吼着什么,并在空中挥舞着他的手杖。我开始拍了。首先是这个男人因为用力推轮椅形成怪相的脸。然后是这个老男人。他的眼睛很疯狂,他的脖子扭动着。他看上去就像要划动他的手杖来抵达目的地。
年轻的男人停下来喘了一口气,并在脸前转着他的手腕。我聚焦在他的手上,让他的脸虚焦,甚至变得有点抽象。老男人把围巾扯了下来,他的嘴变形了,牙齿发黄,并对着年轻的男人尖叫着一些什么。年轻男人弯下身,靠近老男人的耳朵,也尖叫着一些什么。我试着把他们两个人的脸放在同一个构图内。老男人的鼻子和疯狂的眼睛,年轻男人大张着的嘴,和不受控制的舌头。
突然他们停在了一个小的墓碑前。我对着墓碑上的字聚焦。上面写着:Sarah Berliner 1954—1959 女儿,妹妹,孙女。
我把男人的身体作为前景,他们的背冲着我,凝视着墓碑。他们看上去挺安静,事实上,他们也并没有发出声音。我拿起相机,走了一个大的弧形,并找到了一个从侧面看得到他们的脸的位置。我在一些树和草丛后找到自己的位置。从那里再举起相机时,我看见那个老男人到了地上。他从轮椅上下来了,在地上爬行,爬向了墓碑。年轻的男人正在阻止他。
我开始一张接一张地拍。镜头的焦距实在很长,我没有办法抓住每个动作。我只能抓住一些碎片:年轻的男人抓着那件大衣的手,老年人眼睛里的疯狂以及他快跌在土里的脸。这感觉就像是我把远处的场面打碎成一张张拼图,打成*小的一块一块。那个世界好像在镜头里变慢了,每一个快门声都像在我耳边爆炸,就像我在一场电影或者一个平行宇宙里一样。我一张一张拍着。突然这个老男人停下来了,年轻男人放开了他,跳了起来,尖叫着救命。两个墓园的工作人员出现了,一个立刻跑走了,一会儿救护车来了,把老男人抬走了。
我拍了整个过程。天暗了,我几乎看不清楚。就算空气里刮着冷风,我也在出汗。我等着所有人都走完,才慢慢走向墓碑。这两个男人为了这么多年前死去的一个小女孩来到了墓园。我开始构想这个死者:她是谁?她长什么样?如果她还活着的话,她应该已经是个中年女人了。这一切都有点神秘,甚至让我有点焦虑。我不熟悉的那种焦虑。这是一种恐惧的形式,一种在他人身上而不是自身之中感到的恐惧。
我坐进车里,呆坐了一个小时。画面在我的记忆里来来回回。我从未拿起相机,看看我的照片是什么样。然而我开始回想。早先时候的焦虑感慢慢褪去了。现在我被一种兴奋充满了——有点像*暴力后的那种兴奋,但又不太一样,因为现在还有一种期待,还有一种成就感。我等不及要回家,把照片印出来。
然而我没有动。我在延长这个时刻,让时间降下来,把恐惧降下来。是的,恐惧,恐惧这些照片不会达到我的期待,恐惧我自己的欲望,恐惧我向这个世界要得太多。在物理上持续不停地对焦后,我的精神也向着我的恐惧与欲望持续不停地对焦。尽管很多时候这些都是失焦的。想完这些,我启动车,开回家去。

样张2: Jamais vu
艺术是格物致不知。
Dear R
携带了很久没有回邮件的负罪感之后,我终于坐定回了一些,并因此感到轻松许多。
如今,所有的事情都比记忆更丰满了。因为我用新的一个我过滤了它们。我每天都重生,所以很难做忏悔。
有时候一种特定的情绪会在我身上蒸发。我以前喜欢一句话:时间脱节了。现在我开始慢慢知道什么是住在节点里。在我们真正观看它们之前,没有什么有所改变。熟悉的词语在空中沉没,就像那些被遗忘的日子。
昨晚睡觉之前,我的脑海里盘旋着一个想法——
如果它看上去像一张好照片,那么它就不是一张好照片。因为好照片不会像你之前看过的任何东西。
在心理学中,Jamais vu来自法语,意味着“从未见过”。这是一种现象——当一个人遇见一个通常能以某种方式识辨的场景时,却发现这场景非常陌生。它是Déjà vu(既视感)的反面。
我很感兴趣这种状态。就像一个新的人遇到旧的事物,却以某种视觉方式把它更新了。
我想起艾略特·厄维特的一些照片。他很厉害,许多照片都非常著名。尤其是尼克松指着赫鲁晓夫的那张。但他的照片从来都不像是有一个连贯的主题。他有时候会从他巨大的素材库里创造一些主题出来。
所以,拥有巨大的素材库是一个好主意。我每忙完一阵,就会回到街头摄影。想试着找点新东西,一些更强烈的构图,或者说,找一些看上去和以前完全不一样的东西。这是我开始用90毫米镜头的原因之一。因为这和多数过去的街头摄影不那么一样。我在找一些我无法命名的东西,但当我看见它的时候,我可以认出它。
“观看是一种后续的修正过程,这个过程是由反复的检查与匮乏的知识所启发的。”在一本关于名作与射线的书上,威廉·埃利亚斯这么说。
画会兴衰,会被修复,或者被毁坏。但看画的眼睛历久弥新。所有的人聚成看画的那同一个人,而画与人的关系,就在这些波动与交换里守恒。表层颜料下的一层层秘密,就是与叠加的视线的一种抗衡。
你看到的越多,那幅画在实体世界里存在的意义就越少。反之亦然。这是为什么浅薄的画依赖人,而深邃的画无所倚靠。
物质的讯息,总是目的于传送非物质的讯息。技术与艺术、可见与不可见,都是恒久的较量。归于时间的潜意识里的幻想,总会给未来的同一个人迎头痛击。
我开始期待人类作为整体对于某种既定的视觉生发出的未视感,Jamais vu。这是创作者都具有的一种野心吧。这种感觉是迷人的。有一点像日落。当人们每一次从心底爆发对于日落的赞美,都像从未见过日落似的。
等待一种从未出现的事物,等待一个从来不曾这样活过的人。
我总是在想,以新科技为先导的艺术品没有出路,因为永远有更新的科技。基于新科技的创作往往是一件作品速朽的*可能。科技提示人类,还有更多的可能性——观看的可能性、听的可能性、信息传输的可能性、时间折叠的可能性。人,因为看到这种可能性而被激发,从而创作新的作品。
再往回看,透视学、光学、数学、心理学的发展,是作为缪斯的角色参与到艺术品里去的。那是激发,是告诉艺术家,看,新的方式的新的可能性里,还是要追那些不可能。艺术家用不同的方式回溯本源,同一个本源,一次一次回溯。念诵*老的那一句话,直到那一句话也消失。科学是找可能,艺术是找不可能。但这两件事又是同一件事。
艺术一定要指向不可能,不然没劲。所以这是为什么我们不时常感到兴奋。兴奋太难了,它只发生在*冷且硬的时刻里。五十年前的学者已经把目前我们称作现代艺术的东西称作当代艺术了。然而五十年后我们又有了新的指称。所以艺术的断代,对我们来说,只是一个概念的断代。一个时期的艺术与另一个时期的艺术的真正差别,是艺术的面向。面向大地还是面向头顶的天空,面向内部还是面向外延,面向微小还是面向宏大,面向聚合还是面向解构,面向过去还是面向未来。是我们对于道路的可能性的面向。这面向包含来向、去向。
海德格尔说哲学终结了,但思想兴起了。那若艺术终结了,观看是否会升起?艺术难以终结,因为艺术总是可以复燃于废墟之上。废墟、灰烬,才是*有“等待”属性的物质。初生的希望固然敞亮,但再往时间轴的左边走一小步,或许我们会看到曾在的终结的希望。这是有建设性的。建筑的初始。
本雅明认为天使总是背对着未来。我们并没有从太初开始。我们直接降临于废墟,并于废墟之上建造。一个创造者,总是边建造边回返的。回返那些永不可到达的事物。当他观看的时候,每一眼都是新的。

简介:
Bestselling author James Kaplan redefines Frank Sinatra in atriumphant new biography that includes many rarely seenphotographs.
Frank Sinatra was the best-known entertainer of the twenti?ethcentury—infinitely charismatic, lionized and notori?ous in equalmeasure. But despite his mammoth fame, Sinatra the man has remainedan enigma. As Bob Spitz did with the Beatles, Tina Brown for Diana,and Peter Guralnick for Elvis, James Kaplan goes behind the legendand hype to bring alive a force that changed popular culture infundamental ways.
Sinatra endowed the songs he sang with the explosive conflict ofhis own personality. He also made the very act of listening to popmusic a more personal experience than it had ever been. In Frank:The Voice, Kaplan reveals how he did it, bringing deeper insightthan ever before to the complex psyche and tur?bulent life behindthat incomparable vocal instrument. We relive the years 1915 to1954 in glistening detail, experiencing as if for the first timeSinatra’s journey from the streets of Hoboken, his fall from theapex of celebrity, and his Oscar-winning return in From Here toEternity. Here at last is the biographer who makes the reader feelwhat it was really like to be Frank Sinatra—as man, as musician, astortured genius.
【媒体评论】
Wonderfully vivid.... The story of Frank Sinatra’s rise andself-invention and the story of his fall and remarkable comebackhad the lineaments of the most essential American myths, and theirtelling, Pete Hamill once argued, required a novelist, ‘somecombination of Balzac and Raymond Chandler,’ who might ‘come closerto the elusive truth than an autobiographer as courtly as Sinatrawill ever allow himself to do.’ Now, with FRANK: THE VOICE, Sinatrahas that chronicler in James Kaplan, who has produced a book thathas all the emotional detail and narrative momentum of a novel.Kaplan writes with genuined sympathy for the singer and a deepappreciation of his musicianship, and devotes the better part ofhis book to an explication of Sinatra’s art: the real reasonreaders care about him in the first place.
—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
" Monumental... FRANK: THE VOICE is a timely reminder of what allthe fuss over Sinatra was about in the first place. Kaplan followsin the footsteps of Peter Guralnick, whose magisterial two-volumebiography of Elvis Presley was a landmark excavation of the artistfrom the dead-celebrity junk pile. Striking a similar, though morestylized, note, Mr. Kaplan offers a retelling of the early life ofFrancis Albert that illuminates the incredible-but-true origins ofa 20th-century phenomenon. "
—Wall Street Journal
"Fascinating...compelling...marvelously thoughtful [and]readable. Kaplan brings something valuable and new to this accountof Sinatra's first four decades, culminating in his cinematictriumph in From Here to Eternity and stunning vocal comeback in theearly 1950s. First and most valuable, Kaplan gives us anilluminating portrait of a serious artist who helped revolutionizehis medium. Kaplan also does a brilliant job of suggesting how theway Sinatra sang the song grew out of the life of an artist everybit as confounding and conflicted as his era — a man by turnsgenerous, attentive and immensely decent, then ugly, violentlyabusive and self-absorbed to the point of cruelty."
—Los Angeles Times
"Sinatra lovers will be enthralled by Kaplan's generous approachto the guy who sang about 'how little we know.'"
—O, The Oprah Magazine
"[A] lively, anecdote-crammed biography of the world's greatestsaloon singer.... Kaplan...writes with insight and grace."
—Bloomberg
"Masterful... a vivid, fast-paced narrative... [An] immenselyreadable account of Frank Sinatra's rise from sweet-singing mama'sboy to teen idol to Academy Award-winning actor."
—Bookpage
"Fascinating.... For anyone who wants to know what popularculture and celebrity felt like around the middle of the twentiethcentury, this book is the new bible."
—Bill Ott, Booklist, starred review
"Riveting... Kaplan's enthralling tale of an American icon servesas an introduction of "old blue eyes" to a new generation oflisteners while winning the hearts of Sinatra's diehardfans."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"This book may be the fullest account of Sinatra’s first 40years... His youth, persistence in pursuing a singing career,relationships with women, work with band leader Tommy Dorsey, thecontroversial reversal of his draft status during World War II, andrelationships with musicians and mafiosi are all presented withpanache and clarity."
—Library Journal
“The answer to 'what is there left to say about Sinatra' isstaggeringly answered in James Kaplan's new book. This story hasnever been told with such incisiveness, care, research and respect.With so many new revelations, you might never really know who FrankSinatra is until you read this book.”
—Michael Feinstein
“Jim Kaplan’s great gift is his own voice, in peak form—stylish,seductive, and richly resonant—that stands up to Sinatra’s powerfulbaritone. This is a perceptive, passionate biography of an immenseand immensely flawed musical figure whose life and legend continueto fascinate.”
—Bob Spitz, author of The Beatles
“This is biography at its very best—the story of a fascinatingcharacter brought to life as never before through superb writing,impeccable research and penetrating insight. It is a terrificbook.”
—Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals
“Sinatra was to 20th Century stagecraft what Churchill was tostatecraft: the towering presence of the age. In this lyricalnarrative, suffused with a mastery of popular culture, Frank isback—this time as a major figure in American history.”
—Jonathan Alter, author of The Promise: President Obama, YearOne
“James Kaplan succeeds not just in bringing Frank Sinatra alivein all his complexity, but in revealing in detail how heconsciously, deliberately, and painstakingly transformed himselfinto a triumphantly successful entertainer and a nationalicon.”
—Michael Korda, author of Ike
“At long last, we have a biography of Sinatra worthy of theman...a pop innovator whose influence remains incalculable, whoseart remains undiminished. James Kaplan tells this story with theauthority of a writer who inhabits his subject from deep inside.The pages fly by on the wings of song.”
—Gary Giddins, author of Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams andWarning Shadows
