The Destiny of the Black Race
Published in Paperback by Great House Pub (01 October, 1997)
Authors: Carlisle John Peterson and Andrea Cooke
Average review score:

Excellent, Balanced, Extensive Bibliography!
This is one of the most balanced and well written works that I have ever had the priviledge of reading on this topic. The author does not promote the black race as having superiority over others but clearly shows an equality that is oftentimes sorely missing in society. This is one aspect that gives the book balance and objectivity. Earl Paulk's work, ONE BLOOD, is another important book on this issue. The extensive bibliography gives the reader other resources for further study/reading. A most delightful read! God Bless the Author!


Frank Auerbach: Paintings and Drawings 1954-2001
Published in Paperback by Royal Academy of Arts (September, 2001)
Authors: Catherine Lampert, Norman Rosenthal, and Isabel Carlisle
Average review score:

real painting
Having just seen the show that this text accompanies, I can highly recommend this catalog to those painters and viewers who enjoy Auerbach's work. As with all reproductions of wonderfull paintings these ones are not able to convey the physical/visual illusion contained in the work. They are very good however and the accompaning text informative. Auerbach has already created a great body of work and seeing it across the hall from an amazing Rembrandt exhibit, also at the Royal Academy, gives hope to the future of painting when it's obituary is beeing written tacitly by so many.

You don't need sheets or a barn, but buy this book!
If you've always wanted to create theatre, this is the book for you. It really is "high in concept"...but also very readable and doable.

Everything is here for the novice or experienced professional: theatre and acting philosophy, step by step exercises, side coaching scripts, inspiration.

What a collaboration. Barbara is a writer, actor, visual artist, musician and world class educator. Don is a nationally known technical theatre expert and educator.

Get the book, get a group...create ART!

Missing Frames
Published in Paperback by Hermitage (March, 1995)
Authors: Mikhail Lemkhin and Olga Andreyev Carlisle
Average review score:

Photographic masterpieces
I greatly enjoyed the two books by Mikhail Lemkhin: "Missing Frames" and "Fragments". I am especially moved by portraits. There is something about the portraits that make them very different from most others. The pictures are not posed, but don't seem to be too candid either. I get the impression that the subject is aware of the photographer, but is not posing for him, at least not physically. It is as if the subject is exposing his/her inner soul to the camera. The photographs work, in deeply satisfying way, very well. I know I will look at them again and again.


Mlle Cecie
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Ivy Books (April, 1980)
Author: Sarah Carlisle
Average review score:

Adventure romance on high seas!
Young woman stows aboard her cousin's ship, suspecting him of smuggling. But she fell asleep and woke to gunfire, sailing on the high seas. Story progressively draws you into an adventure/romance. Good 3-D characters. Pretty saucy stuff for the 19th Century.

Red Hot & Blue: A Smithsonian Salute to the American Musical
Published in Hardcover by Smithsonian Institution Press (November, 1996)
Authors: Amy Henderson, Dwight Blocker Bowers, National Portrait Gallery, National Museum of American History, I. Michael Heyman, and Kitty Carlisle Hart
Average review score:

It makes a gorgeous coffee-table book, but it's a lot more.
The development of American musicals is a gift we gave to the world, but how do we begin? This book is a cultural history, focusing on the interweaving history of theater and film musicals. Red, Hot, and Blue brings in the various elements that go into creating a musical movie or play. These include performers, songwriters, directors, choreographers all within the framework of the society in which they work. It presents the atmosphere in which an art form was created.

Photographs, posters, sheet music, all help to illustrate this phenomenon called musical theater, which blossomed during the 20th century. It also offers other sources for further information on any of the aspects treated here.
