Book Description
The extraordinary story of the artists who propelled themselves to international fame in 1960s Los Angeles Los Angeles, 1960: There was no modern art museum and there were few galleries, which is exactly what a number of daring young artists liked about it, among them Ed Ruscha, David Hockney, Robert Irwin, Bruce Nauman, Judy Chicago and John Baldessari. Freedom from an established way of seeing, making, and marketing art fueled their creativity, which in turn inspired the city. Today Los Angeles has four museums dedicated to contemporary art, around one hundred galleries, and thousands of artists. Here, at last, is the book that tells the saga of how the scene came into being, why a prevailing Los Angeles permissiveness, 1960s-style, spawned countless innovations, including Andy Warhol's first exhibition, Marcel Duchamp's first retrospective, Frank Gehry's mind-bending architecture, Rudi Gernreich's topless bathing suit, Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider, even the Beach Boys, the Byrds, the Doors, and other purveyors of a California style. In the 1960s, Los Angeles was the epicenter of cool.

After all, his family means everything to him. Meeting a beautiful woman with a skillset similar to his own was not something he was expecting. But he’s not complaining about it, in fact, he has a proposition for her… Snow Hunter is sick of being on the right side of the law when she knows without a doubt someone is guilty of a crime. She’s secretly and very happily been delivering her own form of justice to those most deserving. Until her sisters find out and demand restrictions be enforced on her dangerous extracurricular activities. Enter Gryphon, the mysterious guy who took it upon himself to save her when she most definitely did not need saving. He makes her an offer she should probably accept. So she counters—if he can find her, he can help her. After months of working side by side the two have grown closer than Snow knows how to deal with. Gryphon on the other hand wants them to be even closer… but there’s something he hasn’t told her and it could destroy the fragile bond building between them.

Book Description
In his bestselling work of “comic sociology,” David Brooks coins a new word, Bobo, to describe today’s upper class—those who have wed the bourgeois world of capitalist enterprise to the hippie values of the bohemian counterculture. Their hybrid lifestyle is the atmosphere we breathe, and in this witty and serious look at the cultural consequences of the information age, Brooks has defined a new generation. Do you believe that spending $15,000 on a media center is vulgar, but that spending $15,000 on a slate shower stall is a sign that you are at one with the Zenlike rhythms of nature? Do you work for one of those visionary software companies where people come to work wearing hiking boots and glacier glasses, as if a wall of ice were about to come sliding through the parking lot? If so, you might be a Bobo.
