Subtitle: Post-War Sculptures and Assemblages in South Africa Author: Elizabeth Rankin Publisher: Witwatersrand University Press () Edition: First Edition ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good - Slight wear to cover edges Binding: Softcover Pages: 206 Dimensions: 28 x 22.5 x 1 cm Weight: 0.81 Price: 200 +++ by Elizabeth Rankin +++ The post-war period has seen a remarkable development in sculpture in bronze, steel and other metals in South Africa. Economic growth, the establishment of bronze foundries and developments in new media at art schools stimulated sculptural production amongst white sculptors, who drew on modernist trends from Europe and America. Excluded from art institutions, black artists rarely had the opportunity to share in international aspirations, but, making use of unusual media and informal training, produced innovative works. Images of Metal explores these developments and offers over twenty individual essays on sculptors represented in the University of the Witwatersrand collections. From wire toys and representational bronzes, through modernist steel constructions, to politically charged multi-media assemblages, the work show the common history and the creative diversity of sculpture in South Africa.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.

JUST RELEASED BY THE S A MINT BE THE FIRST TO GET IT AT THE S A MINT  PRICE Brand New Release SA25 R50 Bronze Coin ‘We the people of South Africa’  is the theme for the R50 bronze alloy coin, and these words feature prominently on the reverse of the coin by designer Peter Mammes. The line is the preamble of the Constitution of South Africa. The two joined hands symbolising togetherness also depict people, ethnicity and religion. The detail in the pattern of the crosses draws attention to the ‘mark’ that voters make on the ballot paper. Both the R50 sterling-silver and the R50 bronze alloy coins share a common obverse: the national coat of arms together with the date of issue, ‘2019’, and the words ‘South Africa’ written in all of the official languages. The bronze alloy and silver coins are now available and can be purchased at SA Mint’s retail store in Centurion or through the various mall activations that the SA Mint will host throughout the country. “The SA Mint is proud to continue in its long-standing tradition of crafting coins which South Africans can treasure. The new collectable coins demonstrate our roots in the past, and we are confident that they will serve to encourage all South Africans to work towards contributing to brighter chapters in our country’s history book,”  says Tsehlo.  “These collectable coins will serve as a tangible and visible reminder to all South Africans of our hard-fought freedom and our constitutional legacy.” Durban-based Garth Walker designed the font which appears on all the coins in the series. He combined all the documented lettering, redrawing it as a unicase family. The original letterforms, within reason, accurately reflect apartheid-era prisoner hand-lettering, graffiti, and prison authority signage. Over time, the font came to be referred to as  ‘the face of a nation’. It was first used by the Constitutional Court on the outside of the actual building and subsequently across a wide variety of applications.

Picking up where his previous bestseller UNDISPUTED left off, Chris Jericho treats his fans to an all-new, completely uncensored chronicle of his life within the ring and onstage. Written with his trademark self-effacing humour, this memoir is laced with Jericho's engaging storytelling, detailing the preposterous situations he's all too prone to get himself involved in, including his dealings with WWE head honcho Vince McMahon; world tours with his band, Fozzy; and encounters with pop culture icons such as Ozzy Osbourne, Mike Tyson, Mickey Rourke and Metallica's James Hetfield. He also tells the inside stories about some of the most memorable angles in wrestling history: his feuds with Rey Mysterio and CM Punk, as well as his classic battle with Shawn Michaels. These behind-the-scenes reports, along with the stories of how he ended up in an unsecured war zone in Iraq, and was thrown out of Brazil for kicking a flag, make this his most entertaining book yet. Brash and compulsively readable, THE BEST IN THE WORLD is as bracing as a body slam. Features Summary Inspired by Anton Chigurh, Javier Bardem's character in 'No Country for Old Men', Chris Jericho decided to put down his guitar, ease off on the red-carpert appearances in Hollywood and return to the ring...
