The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night: Day by Day Concerts, Recordings, and Broadcasts, 1964-1997 by Doug Hinman, ISBN 087930765X

This book tracks every move in this great band's career. With the help of band members, the author has reconstructed The Kinks' meteoric rise to fame in the early '60s through its dissolution and revival in the '70s, stadium success in the '80s, and an apparently final breakdown in the late'90s. From this chronicle emerges the story of a band often at odds with an industry going in the opposite direction. The book also profiles Ray Davies, one of the most gifted songwriters in popular music. The book's easy-to-browse, day-by-day format details the band's entire concert history, all known recording sessions, its broadcast history, and all records issued in the U.S. and the U.K. The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night: Day by Day Concerts, Recordings, and Broadcasts, 1964-1997 by Doug Hinman, ISBN 087930765X

The Aesthetics of the Japanese Lunchbox by Kenji Ekuan, ISBN 0262550350

The Makunouchi Bento, or traditional Japanese lunchbox, is a highly lacquered wooden box divided into quadrants, each of which contains different delicacies. It is also one of the most familiar images of Japan's domestic environment. When presented to the diner, the Japanese lunchbox seems straightforward enough; each of four food portions resides in its own compartment, apparently obeying a strict lunchbox geometry. So far, just food. But Kenji Ekuan reveals that a much deeper reading is possible, one that sees the lunchbox as nothing less than a key to an understanding of Japanese civilization, the spirit of form, and the aesthetic ideal in which the many are reduced to one.Ekuan reads the Japanese lunchbox as both object and metaphor. It is one of this book's many charms that he is able to see it as both simultaneously. He compares the visual pleasures of the Zen lunchbox to an aerial view of the Japanese archipelago; he invites us to savor its quadripartite structure as we savor the...

Chesapeake Steamboats: Vanished Fleet by David C. Holly, ISBN 0870334557

In eight engaging chapters, this book portrays the steamboat era (1813-1963) on the Chesapeake, which matched in glamour and excitement the steamboats' history on the Mississippi. The book begins with the building of the first steamboat on the Bay in the shadow of the bitter struggle between Stevens, Livingston, Fulton, and Latrobe, among others, over monopoly on the Delaware and Chesapeake. Some of the accepted history on the origin of the first Bay steamboat is called into question. The chapters continue with stories of the genius of early engine builders, the legends arising from dramatic steamboat disasters, spirited adventures of the Civil War (including the mystery of the "French lady spy"), the romance of steamboat excursions and resorts, the personalities of many steamboats and their masters, the Pennsylvania Railroad's near achievement of monopoly on the Bay, and the denouement when trucks and automobiles eclipsed the role of the steamboat. An appendix details the workings of early... Chesapeake Steamboats: Vanished Fleet by David C. Holly, ISBN 0870334557
