Beginning with responses to fascism in the 1930s and ending with protests against the Iraq wars, David McCarthy shows how American artists—including Philip Evergood, David Smith, H. C. Westermann, Ed Kienholz, Nancy Spero, Leon Golub, Chris Burden, Robert Arneson, Joyce Kozloff, Martha Rosler, and Coco Fusco—have borne witness, registered dissent, and asserted the enduring ability of imagination to uncover truths about individuals and nations. During what has been called the American Century, the United States engaged in frequent combat overseas while developing technologies of unprecedented lethality. Many artists, working collectively or individually, produced antiwar art to protest the use or threat of military violence in the service of an expansionist state. In so doing, they understood themselves to be fighting on behalf of two liberal beliefs: that their country was the guarantor of liberty against empire, and that modern art was a viable means of addressing the most compelling events and issues of the moment. For many artists, creative work was a way to participate in democratic exchange by challenging and clarifying government and media perspectives on armed conflict. Charting a seventy-five-year history of antiwar art and activism, American Artists against War, 1935–2010 lucidly tracks the continuities, preoccupations, and strategies of several generations.

In the years following Willem de Kooning's exhibition of the Woman paintings in 1953, a younger generation of American painters turned to the subject of the nude. This study focuses on selected nudes by seven noted American painters, including Larry Rivers, Tom Wesselmann, Sylvia Sleigh and Joan Semmel and examines the complex range of issues and ideas associated with the nude in postwar American culture.

Mass culture, popular taste and kitsch, considered outside the limits of fine art, were the provocative new themes of Pop art, a movement that enjoyed great prominence in the late 1950s and 1960s. Rejecting the idea that art and life could be separated, artists in both Britain and the United States - amongst them Peter Blake, Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist and Andy Warhol - used mass-produced objects and photographic images to make a blatant connection with the real world and its infatuation with consumerism. From its earliest beginnings in the irreverence of Dada and Surrealism, David McCarthy follows the development of Pop art to its rise in popularity as an art form that celebrated the glamour and hedonism of the newly commercialized Western world while at the same time acknowledging its superficiality and transience.

A military man finds himself on a foreign world with scientists as they all struggle to survive in the hostile environment. When the team discovers alien ruins and a new life form, he comes to see himself not as a leader of the crew or as an adventurer discovering new worlds, but simply a human being in the unenviable position of deciding the future direction of Mankind. Their advanced robots slowly begin to solve the alien riddles as the crew attempts to settle into their new home. The crew finds that politics can reach deep into space, and old hatreds die hard as a nation sends an agent to wrest control of the alien technology from the colony, or utterly destroy it.

First published in 2003 and subsequently reprinted, Colonel Michael Cobb's two-volume atlas, The Railways of Great Britain, won plaudits from both readers and critics alike as it provided a comprehensive overview of the country's railways. However, it was always recognized that the price (£150.00) represented a barrier to those who were only interested in one part of the country. To address this, a new series based upon the original cartography from Colonel Cobb's atlas was launched in 2007 and there are currently three volumes in the series. With the popularity of London's railways both past and present continuing unabated, the series moves on to cover Greater London south of the Thames. As with earlier volumes in the series, the book contains detailed mapping, full gazetteer, history, and a wide selection of associated photographs.

This book examines the antiwar work of one American artist in relation to the cultural history of the Cold War. The study provides new and detailed information on this important artist, while also contributing to the study of masculinity, dissent, art, violence, and war in the last half of the twentieth century. The study clearly reveals that artists' protests against American foreign policy began well before the official U.S. entry in the Vietnam War, and that not all combat veterans looked back fondly on their experience of the Good War. Finally, in drawing attention to the challenges of being a man in a hostile world, Westermann's art enters into a much broader consideration of gender long before this issue became topical in contemporary art.
