The Poetry of Surrealism: An Anthology

2 reviews

Little Brown & Co (P), 1975

addendum to above review
Yes, this perhaps the best anthology of surrealist poetry ever compiled. However, Rimbaud is not in it, and is not a surrealist, in any case, altho embraced by Breton through the surrealist time machine. Apollinaire being the only "precursor" appearing here. But also includes Artaud, Arp, and Daumal, who are marginally Surrealists, altho certainly influenced. Arp, of course, along with Tzara ...

For an Architecture of Reality

Lumen Books, 1992

Very important
I'm in the middle of an M.ARCH degree right now and this book has been the most influential thing I've read so far. It reminds me why I'm in school and what I'm supposed to be learning how to do. You can make sexy images and wonderful compositions that pretend to be sections and plans, or, you can think about the actual presence of the building. It's the difference between Hadid's work - which is ...

Eric Stanton, Benedikt Taschen Verlag

Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 1997

Great visual story telling from an acclaimed master
For those men with a special fondness for Female Superiority, this book is a keeper. It is a generous volume of some of the late Stanton's best artwork with graphic examples of women getting the better of men. Apparently, these items of work were the product of commissions, and it is interesting to ponder how widespread the desire for women to be in control of men is. There is great variation ...

Deconstructing the Kimbell: An Essay on Meaning and Architecture

Michael Benedikt

SITES, 1992

Kahn and Decon
One of the best essays relating literary deconstruction and architecture, and one of the few i have seen that has such a curious premise- That Louis Kahn was employing many of the methodologies described by derrida and that it is up to us to now discover those methodologies 30 years later. the first 25 pages of the book are a crash course in architectural deconstruction, and those pages alone ...

God Is the Good We Do: Theology of Theopraxy

3 reviews
Michael Benedikt

Bottino Books, 2007

A Transformative and Uplifting New "Interpretation" of God
God is the Good We Do is, by turns, profound, witty, poetic, and ultimately very practical. Thoroughly researched and beautifully argued, Benedikt's "Theology of Theopraxy" is also strikingly original. I believe this book will be discussed for many years. Those who are uncomfortable with "God talk," but who understand that "God" is too important to be surrendered to fundamentalists should ...

Tom of Finland (Basic Art)

Taschen Publishing, Benedikt Taschen Verlag

Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 1995

SIZE MATTERS, and so does CENSORSHIP!
Now THIS is how the art of Tom of Finland SHOULD be represented...in a volume large enough for us to appreciate the great detail in his work. UNFORTUNATELY, the people at TASCHEN and the Tom of Finland Foundation found it necessary to re-release this wonderful volume in a SMALLER, cheaper version, and that trend has only gotten worse with the recent release of Tom's "COMIC COLLECTION" - which I ...

God, Creativity, and Evolution - The Argument from Design(ers)
Michael Benedikt

The Center for American Architecture and Design, 2008

How could something as vast, intricate, vivid, and beautiful as the natural world have come about except by the will and "hand" of a supernaturally powerful and intelligent Designer? The Answer - It could not have - lies at the root of one of the best known "proofs" of the existence of God. Certainly, the so-called 'Argument from Design' forms the basis of the modern Intelligent Design (previous Creationist) movement, which, although it ...

IPv6 in Practice: A Unixer's Guide to the Next Generation Internet

1 review
Benedikt Stockebrand

Springer, 2006

prepare for an eventual transition to IPv6
Eventually we are all going to have to migrate on the Internet from IPv4 to IPv6. To be sure, this has taken longer than expected. But the sheer exhaustion of IPv4 addresses is bound to happen, and is a fundamental driver of the transition. So if you are a network programmer wondering about career trends, Stockebrand's book can be a useful consult. He presupposes that you're already familiar ...

Variation: A Central Concept in Biology

Academic Press, 2005

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was based on the observation that there is variation between individuals within the same species. This fundamental observation is a central concept in evolutionary biology. However, variation is only rarely treated directly. It has remained peripheral to the study of mechanisms of evolutionary change. The explosion of knowledge in genetics, developmental biology, and the ongoing synthesis of ...

Yitzhak Rabin: The Battle for Peace

1 review
Linda Benedikt

Haus Pub., 2005

A very welcome surprise
While I found this book to be more of a short history of Israel that centers itself around Rabin, I still found this book to extraordinarily well balanced and just very good. I was extremely impressed by the amount and quality of information the author packed into such a small book. I originally purchased this book as a compendium to Rabin's own memoirs. I wanted a different take on Rabin ...
