Book excerpt: The newly released, Urban + Primitive, The Art of Lyle Carbajal, is more than an impressivecollection; it's the exploration of the arts, perceptions, travels, and influences that have shaped theBrut Artist's life and great body of work. Lyle Carbajal-who's exhibited internationally-has explored the culture, people, and art of Seattle, the Bay area, Los Angeles, theSouthern United States, and all the way down to Mexico City and Buenos Aires. Heavily influencedby Outsider, Primitive, and Street Art, Carbajal says, "Everywhere I've lived, these are allmy people."The intricate connections to that statement are found throughout the pages in Urban + Primitive;beginning with the chapters, Artist Statement and Early Work, he adeptly takes you through theAnimals, the Sacred, the Regional People, then into Totems, Illustration, and then finally into thePlates. Interlaced with his exposition, you'll find an extensive collection of old and new works thatwill magnetize the viewer.He says, "The phrase, 'Urban + Primitive' captures, if somewhat roughly, the thoughts, lessons,and perceptions of how I view the world; I essentially divide the influence of these terms on mywork." He dives deep into these themes. After completing his recent sojourn of the US with hissix month immersion through Argentina, he was thinking of the book as the "chronicle [of] alifetime of creativity, ideas, and experiences..." But it's so much more than this. Lyle Carbajalpushes the envelope through each chapter, enriching the pages with history, extensive knowledge,his art, his observations, and his questions. Be prepared to be challenged to go deeper, and tothink outside the box. You'll want to, whether you're an artist or not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revelatory book, Sudhir Venkatesh takes us into Maquis Park, a poor black neighborhood on Chicago's Southside, to explore the desperate and remarkable ways in which a community survives. The result is a dramatic narrative of individuals at work, and a rich portrait of a community. But while excavating the efforts of men and women to generate a basic livelihood for themselves and their families, Off the Books offers a devastating critique of the entrenched poverty that we so often ignore in America, and reveals how the underground economy is an inevitable response to the ghetto's appalling isolation from the rest of the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primitive mind does not differentiate the supernatural from reality, but rather uses "mystical participation" to manipulate the world. According to Bruhl, moreover, the primitive mind doesn't address contradictions. The modern mind, by contrast, uses reflection and logic. Bruhl believed in a historical and evolutionary teleology leading from the primitive mind to the modern mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those who have been accustomed to reading books on wilderness skills that entertain but fall short of actually teaching you "how to" accomplish the tasks and skills at hand, this book is a pleasant surprise - written for those who wish to actually head into the wilderness and practice the skills of our ancestors. Primitive Wilderness Living and Survival Skills is a compilation of ten booklets written over the course of seven years each chapter a complete, concise "how-to" in itself. Unlike many who have written on this subject in the past, John and Geri McPherson have spent years daily practicing these skills, perfecting methods through trial and error - and documenting it. This vast knowledge is passed on to the reader. Illustrated with over 700 photographs crammed into 400 pages, this massive work is not a rehashing and perpetuation of myths. These are tried and true methods of primitive wilderness living and survival skills. Field and Stream says: "The McPherson's book....deals with taking flat nothing into boondocks and staying for a long period of time. If you'd like to know how to make a spear thrower, or pottery, or brain cure deer hides, or build a permanent shelter from what you find at and, here is the place to learn." And Sports Afield: "....Full of practical, tested advice for living off the land."

Book excerpt: This innovative edited collection charts the rise, fall and possible futures of the word primitive. The word primitive is fundamental to the discipline of architecture in the west, providing a convenient starting point for the many myths of architecture's origins. Since the almost legendary 1970s conference on the Primitive, with the advent of post-modernism and, in particular, post-colonialism, the word has fallen from favour in many disciplines. Despite this, architects continue to use the word to mythologize and reify the practice of simplicity. Primitive includes contributions from some of today’s leading architectural commentators including Dalibor Vesely, Adrian Forty, David Leatherbarrow, Richard Weston and Richard Coyne. Structured around five sections, Negotiating Origins; Urban Myths; Questioning Colonial Constructs; Making Marks; and Primitive Futures, the essays highlight the problematic nature of ideas of the primitive, engage with contemporary debate in the field of post colonialism and respond to a burgeoning interest in the non-expert architecture. This now controversial subject remains, for better or worse, intrinsic to the very structure of Modernism and deeply embedded in architectural theory. Considering a broad range of approaches, this book provides a rounded past, present and future of the word primitive in the architectural sphere.
