Editorial : From Publishers Weekly A reissue of an out-of-print volume that accompanied a 1976 exhibition, this profusely illustrated celebration of sculptor Alexander Calder's (1898-1976) life and work samples the diversified mediums in which he experimented. His mobiles exquisitely balance grace and economy; the larger stabiles approach architecture in scale and physical presence. He brought the same spontaneity and sense of play to wire sculpture, tapestries, graphics, ink drawings of animals, household objects and jewelry. As Lipman ( Calder's Circus ) observes, the theatrical sets Calder designed gave full scope to his penchant for strong color, movement and large scale, while the oils, bronzes and wood sculpture display a falling off in quality. Also here are hybrid projects such as plexiglass sculpture, an acoustic ceiling, a huge fountain. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

To help create this awareness, Bernie wrote numerous books; among them: “Love, Medicine and Miracles”; “How to Live between Office Visits”; “A Book of Miracles” ; “365 Prescriptions for the Soul” and now, “Love, Animals & Miracles.”
Perhaps the last book on the list appears to be different from the others, yet it is actually very much related because research continues to show that having animal companions can greatly improve our health and well-being. With all the t
