Something to read on Chernobyl Remembrance Day. My daughter said "everyone should read this book. Especially girls who are 10 or 11 or 12 or kids who are bullies but dont want to be mean."
If I weren't a married parent, I would dwell in a environment not unlike Peter-Ayers Tarantino.

This arrived in a box en route for Hopscotch about two months ago. I was curious who was this bibliographer and found it that she was a professor at @ualbany who passed away a few years before I first moved to Albany. I must read some of her poetry... next time I find myself at university library.
Oh lord... a little moldy. I should have brought up this box maybe a year ago? Still so nice to see this book! Plus lots of othrr catalogs and maps maps maps.... these boxes are full of maps. I should like organize an art show of maps or something!
The Inka Essenhigh books by Bonnie Clearwater is signed but not personalized. Some Chelsea gallery (Stux?) was selling signed books. Taliah Lempert was supposed to get us all together for some wood-fired pizza at her studio to sign the book but it never happened. Oh well. Maybe someday. Inka Essenhigh is still my favorite living American painter and I sure would love to have pizza with her.
Reblogging to state that I would love to have pizza with Inka Essenhigh someday and I got the McEnery Gallery catalog too now. And I wonder if Taliah Lemperts studio is in the same place it was 10 years ago? Also i finally (this summer) framed some of the maps that I moved with this summer. Still need to actually get them up on the wall. I am a horrible procrastinator but also putting art ON THE WALL is way harder if you are married. If you want me to organize an art show of maps... i now have a bunch that are framed!
Information (top shelf) has been reshelved at last and all library books are back to the library. That Goonatilake book went on a new section, to the right of Containers, that Im calling Eclectics for now.
Eclectics includes Julietta Singh's "No Archive will Restore You" and one of those Shaun Usher books (check them out at your library if you haven't come across them before) as well as a pair of rare and unusual spiral bound books by peace activist Kristin Christman called Overview and Guide to "The Taxonomy of Peace."
The taxonomy applies classification toward the establishment of a "science of peace". Christman aimed to be comprehensive and her project is a massive and relentless collection of texts. These are all published online and the spiral notebooks serve, litwrally, as an overview of the project and guide to its contents. The table of contents is 171 pages, listing off Roots of Violence, Escalators of Violence, and Solutions to Violence.
The original website has been preserved by the Internet Archive.
A citizen's approach to the quest for peace
One page of the guide leaps out to me -- "Skewers: Mental Escalators that Bend the Truth." This describes the exhaustion I feel when looking at most social media posts that pertain to war and conflict. (Upper left corner in photo below.)
I tried to follow the links in the website on archive.org to get into Mental Escalators of Violence to see the classification tools and citations, but their snapshot only preserves the homepage.
I looked for other online repositories of Christman's texts and did not find anything. Wonderful, as always, that Internet Archive has preserved the homepage. While searching, I learned that Christman has been active in writing and speaking about de-escalating in Russia's war with Ukraine. She started a youtube channel in 2022 has written several articles on the topic. In recent monthsz her youtube channel and her writing have looked at the roots of violence in Israel-Palestine.
