An engaging history of studio furniture, Speaking of Furniture: Conversations with 14 American Masters is a fresh, interesting, and in-depth examination of the modus operandi of 14 accomplished-and diverse-furniture makers. The colourful, informative study includes expository conversations with James Krenov, Wendell Castle, Jere Osgood, Judy Kensley McKie, David Ebner, Richard Scott Newman, Hank Gilpin, Alphonse Mattia, John Dunnigan, Wendy Maruyama, James Schriber, Timothy S. Philbrick, Michael Hurwitz, and Thomas Hucker. The insightful interviews illuminate how these creative and gifted craftspeople arrived professionally and what their craft means to them individually. In his interpretive and elucidatory Foreword, Edward S. Cooke, Jr. maps out and gives the background on the parameters of the studio furniture world. Author and furniture maker Roger Holmes offers an insider's perspective on the art and craft of producing exquisite contemporary furniture in his conversational Introduction and maintains, "Art or craft, this is very personal work."This elegant presentation skilfully sheds light on the thought processes and techniques of a celebrated and exceptional gathering of studio furniture makers who are as unique as they are stellar. As sculptor and furniture designer Wendell Castle remarks, 'What I admired was that...fine art and craft were the same thing.'

Roger Holme's work in social and industrial psychology is widely respected. The theme of this first collection of his essays is the relationship of the individual with the formal, value-laden group on the one hand and the scientifically known and the philosophically asserted on the other. Roger Holmes looks at the connexions between these two important relationships and considers them in terms of the interaction between the nature of society and the nature of the knowable.The areas covered include the derivation of social classes, the nature of morale and the emergence of the professions and the trade unions. Subjects relating to the theory of knowledge include the nature of cross-cultural data, the relationship between empiricism and psychoanalysis, and Marxism and the nature of groups.The author's main theoretical influences throughout have been psychoanalysis, which is treated sympathetically but critically, and Piaget; these influences are reflected in the main preoccupations of these essays.

TWENTY MILLION people have walked the acres of Knott’s Berry Farm at Buena Park, California. Its chicken dinners, its wild west atmosphere, its “Ghost Town,” are familiarly known to travellers from every part of the world. Less known, perhaps, is the remarkable story of Walter Knott and his family, who have built their strange enterprise into one of the wonder of the west.Here is the story of how a once penniless sharecropper parlayed ten acres of berries into a farm of golden wonders. How a chicken dinner became a national institution, ad how boysenberries, both in an out of pies, became the means of assembling on hundred acres of historical marvels that have delighted and amused the Farm’s millions of visitors.FABULOUS FARMER is the tale of how one man turned poverty and adversity into dazzling success. It is a story of free American enterprise with odd and new twists. It is an inspiring, human recital of a family whose teamwork, thrift and industry fought through every hardship and crisis until success was theirs. Through its candid, exciting pages breathes the same warmth and friendliness that is so deeply senses by every visitor to the Farm.FABULOUS FARMER is as typically American as Mrs. Knott’s berry pies and fried chicken. It is a joyful, rewarding book that builds courage and faith in its readers, and a book every American will want to read as tonic for his own fears, and antidote for anything that might water down his faith in the future and his belief in himself.
