No words could more completely characterize Eleanor Roosevelt and the life chronicled here, than these from the Preface: "Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn one's back on life." Eleanor Roosevelt was undoubtedly one of the world's most loved, respected, and celebrated human beings. In this delightful autobiography, she tells her own story with characteristic warmth, candor, wisdom, and breadth of view.

In examining Dada in the Low Countries, Hubert van den Berg is faced with a complex situation that as much critiqued as embraced Dada. Largely an individual affair, and lacking the community center of Dada in Zurich, Berlin. And the other Dada capitals, | van den Berg focuses equally on Dadas reception and on its exercise. Primarily a case of selective appropriation, Dada in the Low Countries nevertheless possessed an international reach, achieved in the relationships it posed between Dada and the Post-World War I Constructivist International and De Stijl. For the author, Dada in Belgium and the Netherlands is less a case of its |story| than of specific cases of its |use.| The involvement of Clement Pansaers, Paul van Ostaijen, Theo van Doesburg, and German artist Kurt Schwitters figure prominently in the historical mapping of van den Bergs complex and elusive subject.|PIM|31-MAY-18|01
