Matt Lamb :
The Art of Success by Richard Speer This fascinating biography describes how Matt Lamb became one of the nation’s leading owners of funeral homes and some three dozen associated companies before he was diagnosed with a fatal illness. After setting up his children in businesses and selling his interests to a conglomerate, Lamb decided to spend his final days fulfilling a lifelong ambition to be a painter. After he discovered he was misdiagnosed, Lamb became internationally renowned as an artist and as the most controversial member of the contemporary outsider art movement. As one of Lamb’s leading dealers, Virginia Miller is the subject of an entire chapter, “The Doyenne In Leather Pants.” Edition: Hardcover Availability:Usually ships within 24 hours. Price: $ 15.72
Mysterious
Manatees:
Photographs by Karen Glaser "Through her evocative photographs, Karen Glaser
takes us swimming with Florida's manatees. Through her eyes we see the
light-dappled world where manatees move with unexpected grace. And we witness
the tenderness with which these massive creatures greet each other and
their benign curiosity. But Glaser's photos also reveal the scars too many
of the creatures bear, evidence of human disregard and even occasional
malice toward these unassuming giants. I am delighted to see Karen Glaser
and John Reynolds collaborate to make the manatee's underwater world even
better known."--Jennifer Bine, Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition
