Jasper Johns made a tremendous impact on Modern art in the twentieth century. As a pioneer of Pop art, he was a key figure in the postwar tradition that brought American art to the forefront of the international scene. This new volume in the MoMA Artist Series, which explores important artists and favorite works in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, guides readers through a dozen of the artist’s most memorable achievements.

In this illuminating biography, Andrea Wulf brings Humboldt’s extraordinary life back into focus: his prediction of human-induced climate change; his daring expeditions to the highest peaks of South America and to the anthrax-infected steppes of Siberia; his relationships with iconic figures, including Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson; and the lasting influence of his writings on Darwin, Wordsworth, Goethe, Muir, Thoreau, and many others. Brilliantly researched and stunningly written, The Invention of Nature reveals the myriad ways in which Humboldt’s ideas form the foundation of modern environmentalism—and reminds us why they are as prescient and vital as ever.

David Krut Books is back for the new year and we're starting with the launch of Alan Finlay's new poetry collection, "(don't fall, ma said)."

(don’t fall, ma said) is a memoir in 25 poems that records Finlay’s childhood experience when his family lived in Honeydew outside Johannesburg. In stark images and the blunt tones of South African dialogue, the poems show scenes of daily life – family, primary school, horses, teachers, grandparents, neighbours, farm workers and friends – to evoke the atmosphere of a white boyhood in the 1970s to early-1980s.
