From the rear cover of this 288 page book: "Alexander Calder - artist, creator of stabile and mobile sculptures, marvelous juggler of form and space - needs no introduction. With the casual informality loved by his intimates, the man who changed the direction of art in our time tells the story of his life and work in his 1966 autobiography. In the new introduction for this edition, Jean Davidson, Calder's son-in-law, speaks of this innovative artist's life, revealing glimpses of the man, his art, and his sense of approaching death." Also from the rear cover: "The product is straight Calder, unpretentious, innocent, naively witty, filled with memories of good times, earthiness, bad puns and occasional swipes at past offenders - With its abundant store of pictures - both his works and the many people close to him - the book communicates something of his genius, which has been always to shape and thereby enrich the space through which his life has projected."

Motorcycles have been a way of life for Jean Davidson. Her grandfather was Walter Davidson, one of the four founders and the first president of Harley-Davidson. Her father was company vice president Gordon Davidson. And Jean herself was a Harley-Davidson dealer, rubbing elbows with all the Harleys and Davidsons as well as the Hell's Angels and Outlaws, famous racers, and Evel Knievel. This is the history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles no one else knew-until now! Here is the fairy-tale story of how four boys built their first motorcycle in a shed; how a slippery-handed maid stole all the company's earnings from the coffee can that served as their "bank"; and how a hermit uncle donated his life's savings to resurrect the company and set it on the path to becoming the world's most famous motorcycle maker. Here is the inside scoop on behind-the-boardroom-door politics and corporate battles, the unknown history of the first Knucklehead and Sportster, the secret friendship with arch-rival Indian motorcycles, and more. Here are family stories and rare photos from the family album that no one else has seen before.
