Douglas Hofstaedter – I am a strange loop -
1 Aug. 2007
He clarified in this book the spectrum of feeling. A very unique demonstration of empathy. Hofstaedters pages on the death of his wife are very intimate and brought treaders already to tears by reminded of the deepest bonds they have with friends. A must read if you are interested in history & survey of philosophy, metaphysical philosophy or popular maths. His repetition in his book was very helpful for me to make this heavy subject easier to understand.

Tom Wolfe - The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Paperback – 17 Feb. 1989
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is not simply the best book on the hippies, it is the essential book...the pushing, ballooning heart of the matter, New York Times
How did The Beatles come up with the idea for their
Magical Mystery Tour ?
The answer to these and many more questions about the acid culture of the 60s can be found in this Tom Wolfes quasi-diary. Highly recommended by readers for anyone who was around at the time and can't remember much about it - also recommended for those who can remember and want a great trip down memory lane.

This title will be released on January 1, 2021, it was first published in 2000: Eric (Ricky) Atkinson was born in Hartlepool but has lived in Ontario for much of his life. He is recognised as an important Canadian landscape painter, but equally significant is his work as an art educator, stemming from his years as a teacher on the Basic Course at Leeds College of Art in the 1950s and 1960s. The premise of this course was not the transfer of skill but the discovery of new aesthetic territories through freedoms of self-expression.

Creative License: From Leeds College of Art to Leeds Polytechnic, 1963-1973 - Paperback – 26 Feb. 2015
Another book about the Leeds Fine Art Department when it came under the umbrella of Leeds Polytechnic in the 70's, when happenings and performance were in the forefront of the creative agenda, by James Charnley. He reveals the personalities and events that ignited an explosion of radical creativity such that a contemporary observer, Patrick Heron, could describe Leeds College of Art as "an unprecedented inventive powerhouse on the national scene". Between 1963 and 1973, Leeds College of Art and Leeds Polytechnic were at the forefront of an experiment in art and education where "all that was forbidden was to be dull".
