""Was ist eine Simulation? Sie ist ein privates Spiel, das wir uns ausdenken, wenn die Lebendigkeit einer Situation zu komplex ist, um sie wirklich zu verstehen. Sie ist ein Entwerfen der Wirklichkeit durch ein Meer von Wahlmöglichkeiten, um zu einem optimalen Ende zu gelangen. Was ist eine Live-Simulation? Es bedeutet, dieses Spiel in der Öffentlichkeit zu spielen und es nicht aufhören zu lassen, wenn das Spiel gut wird. Darwin hat gesa ..."
"This is the first comprehensive publication on the work of Chris Martin (born 1954), one of America's finest contemporary abstract painters. Martin's enormous, sunny canvases are enthusiastic in execution, heroic in scale while also expressing something of the rogue spirit of outsider art. Many of them are dedicated to such artists and musicians as Harry Smith, Frank Moore and James Brown, whose names are inscribed in coarse strokes upo ..."

"The title of this Penguin Classic look-alike is taken from a poem that Michael Elmgreen wrote when he was 19 years old. The poem describes, in its own simple, youthful manner, issues of emotional homelessness.
