Angela Miller – författare

Examines early practices of staged photography in visualizing queer forms of relation.  Body Language is the first in-depth study of the extraordinary interplay between George Platt Lynes and PaJaMa (Paul Cadmus, Jared French, and Margaret Hoening French). Nick Mauss and Angela Miller offer timely readings of how their practices of staging, collaboration, and psychological enactment through the body arced across the boundaries of art and life, private and public worlds, anticipating contemporary social media. Using the camera not to capture, but to actively perform, they renounced photography’s conventional role as mirror of the real, energizing forms of world-making via a new social framing of the self.

Today, cheeses from Consider Bardwell Farm are featured at some of the country’s best restaurants, including Jean Georges, Daniel, and The French Laundry. •    For cheese lovers and would-be farmers, it’s an inside look at the everyday operation of a successful and growing dairy farm•    Author Angela Miller, literary agent in New York City, has won prestigious awards for her cheeses and has been featured in such publications as the Boston Globe, the New York Times, Travel & Leisure, and Martha Stewart Living•    More than a memoir—the book includes recipes from the author and top food personalities like Mark Bittman and Jean-Georges VongerichtenHay Fever is an inspiring and entertaining memoir that will whet the appetite of food lovers and would-be farmers from coast to coast.

The first monograph on the work of the American painter Arthur Osver (1912-2006), this publication explores Osver's entire oeuvre, from early urban realism to decades of engagement with abstraction. His long and productive career took him from Chicago to New York to Europe and back, interweaving with the art of his time, and his paintings have been collected and exhibited all over the world. Nevertheless, he remained firmly rooted in the American Midwest, settling in St. Louis to teach and paint from 1960 until his death in 2006. Beautifully designed and printed, this book includes 80 full-color plates of Osver's work throughout his life as well as an illustrated biography and selections from an interview with the artist from the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.

A collection of my short stories varying from Horror through Sci-fi to dark Fairy Tales. From deals with the devil to zombies and many unusual tales in between, there should be something for most readers here! These stories in this anthology represent many years of work.

Master's Thesis from the year 1998 in the subject Environmental Sciences, The University of Texas School of Public Health, language: English, abstract: This project investigates the transport of sediment and associated contaminants through the lowerportion of the Rio Grande/ Rio Bravo International Watershed. A preliminary review of water quality, bed sediment, and reservoir sediment-coring data in the watershed reveals a complex hydrological system, with varying potential sources of contamination. Within the lower portion of the watershed (defined as from the dams at Elephant Butte Reservoir in New Mexico and Red Bluff Reservoir in Texas co the Gulf of Mexico) arsenic, lead, and mercury appear at levels and/ or trends which may be of concern. Through the use of a geographic information system, this project evaluates the extent of contamination from selected toxic substances, identifies potential sources and/ or naturally-occurring conditions for the contribution of these toxic substances, and evaluates the potential for using Geographic Information Systems to model the watershed. The project uses data collected over the thirty year period from 1966 - 1996 by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, the United States Geological Survey, the International Boundary and Water Commission, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The project utilizes water quality, bed sediment, sediment coring, land use, land cover, soils, water-quality permitting, precipitation, flow, and reservoir-release information to attempt to derive a model depicting the movement of sediment through the watershed. Because the United States federal government has not promulgated standards for sediment (as of 1998), the project references standards from both the State of Washington and Canada for screening of sediment quality.
