Written for graduate students and researchers, this book reviews the reasons for, and the nature of, great ape intelligence. Great apes are the most intelligent primates next to humans.

No other book combines the expertise of paleontologists, biologists, anthropologists, and psychologists to attain an appreciation of intelligence in great apes.

If you are interested in installing the Wing T as your offense, this book is for you. It has all the information you need to run the Wing T successfully. The book discusses everything from the players you will need, the positions they should play, the drills you can use in your off-season and pre-season training, as well as game planning and scouting. The focus is mainly on college coaching, but it would be very helpful for any coach at any level. I would recommend this book to any coach that uses the Wing T.

Customer Reviews:

Essential introduction........2007-02-07

This is absolutely the best introductory book on the vast subject of World Englishes currently available. It covers a wide variety of topics and gives pointers to further reading. It also collects an excellent selection of essays by other scholars in the field. The layout is thoughtful it and can be used as a course book.

If you are studying languages, language teaching or applied linguistics this is a must buy. Even if you aren't it is a facinating read.

Book Description

Love him or hate him, admire him or revile him, there is no doubt that Clement Greenberg was the most influential critic of modern art in the second half of the twentieth century. His championing of abstract expressionist painters such as Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and David Smith put the United States on the international art map. His support for color-field painters Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland dramatically accelerated their careers. The intellectual power of his polemical essays helped bring about the midcentury shift in which New York replaced Paris as the art capital of the Western world; his aggressive personality and fierce involvement in the New York art scene triggered a backlash so potent that one critic termed it a "patricide."

Appalling.......2007-05-08

The unabashed bias with which this book was written is appalling. Hardly worthy of being deemed a biography--the last few chapters blather through the 60s, 70s and 80s with no regard to chronology--this book reads more like a collection of (mostly useless and uninformative) anecdotes about Greenberg and the group of critics and artists that surrounded him. Most of it reads like a late-night confession: telephone calls from drunken, disgruntled artists; fistfights with surrealists; battered and abandoned women; and bottle after bottle of devil liquor.

With regard to Greenberg's writing, a single paragraph discusses the polemical essay "Modernist Painting." The entire thrust of Greenberg's arguement is limited to one sentence, shocking in its ignorance: "...Clem emphasized modern art's continuity with the past and took an indirect shot at Rosenberg..."

Needless to say, this book is utterly useless to anyone interested in Greenberg's life and his writing. As a historical document, one of only two biographies written of Greenberg, this book is frankly offensive.

Lets hope the next biographer does better.......2004-02-15

The usefulness of this biography of the greatest art critic of the 20th Century is fatally compromised by its unfortunate tendency to use rumor, innuendo and the undependable testimony of disgruntled art world second-raters to cast Greenberg as an nasty, abusive all-around bad character.
I knew him for 35 years. He was sometimes cranky and disputatious, but he was also gentle, civil and always helpful, and he went out of his way to crit my paintings and listen to and tolerate my bitching and complaining about the art world. I do not recognize the man I knew in this book. Lets hope the next biographer does better

A Fascinating Look at Clem Greenberg and Post-war art.......2002-09-24

Florence Rubenfeld tells a magnificent story about a topic that might otherwise be rather dull: art criticism. She does, however, have great material to work with. Greenberg is intelligent, insightful, and had a difficult personality. The latter should not be seen as a drawback, however. A strong personality was needed to convince Americans and Europeans of the value of abstract expressionism and color field painting.

Rubenfeld provides a thorough story. I have written one book, Art in the Courtroom, and am busy on another one. Therefore, I consider myself fairly well-read with respect to art. I learned a tremendous amount. Nothing can be better than an informative book that is written well. Thank you F Rubenfeld.

superb biography of brand-name critic.......1998-04-03

Best biography in years about manufacture of American culture.As recently as 1951,you could not give away examples of abstract American art.With the assistance of powerful art collectors such as Ben Sonnenberg,( who revolutionized the public relations industry) an obscure,hard-drinking,cocaine-loving New York journalist named Clement Greenberg-- almost single-handed--hoisted American art to the commanding heights.This is romantic stuff.But no other book is so honest about the creation of value in Abstract Expressionism,Color Field painting,Pop Art and Minimalism.This is like reading the honest recollections of people who created the computer-driven stock markets.It is the book of the year. And maybe the book of the decade.Do not miss this smog-clearing gem!
