Product Description
Richard Prangley was unjustly institutionalized for fifteen years. Yet he managed to become not only a productive citizen but also an effective advocate for the developmentally disabled. / In Waiting for Home, journalist John Schneider chronicles the compelling true story of Richard Prangley. Born prematurely, Richard exhibited delayed development and hyperactivity as a small child. His parents struggled to raise him along with their other 10 children, and they turned to the medical authorities for help. Based on the diagnoses of two psychiatrists, Richard at age 6 was committed to the Coldwater State Home and Training School, an institution for physically and mentally disabled children. He was labeled retarded and his schooling and work experience were limited to manual labor. When he was finally released at age 21, Prangley struggled with socialization as he learned to live on his own. / His life today, however, stands in sharp contrast to his early years. Through faith, hope, determination, and a constant yearning for independence, Prangley is self-supporting and works in the Office Services Division of the Michigan Department of Community Health. He is an effective advocate for the developmentally disabled and has been instrumental in creating a successful stand for the rights of the handicapped as a lobbyist in such places as the Michigan State Capitol and the White House. / Richard Prangley, whose story has been the focus of a documentary and wide national media coverage, including CBS’s Sunday Morning, is an inspirational figure whose life reflects the human spirit at its resilient, triumphant best. ...

Waiting for Home
This is a painful book to read, but interesting and important.I know Richard Prangley, and his positive outlook and love of life are amazing, given the pain he's endured throughout his entire childhood.This book helps the reader to understand that it's possible to survive unspeakable horror and yet live a life full of joy and community.This book forces us to think about how we label and separate people who don't meet our standards in some way, and how we do so with what we believe to be "good intentions."

A well written story about a remarkable person
John Schneider uses an easy-to-read style and an insight into the life of the developmentally disabled to document the tragic, but true, story of a special child who was sentenced to grow-up in a Michigan institution for the retarded.Richard Prangley's remarkable growth into a man and a mental health advocate is due to his determination for justice and belief in doing what is right.Richard's positive attitude is an inspiration to us all.

An eloquent account of a remarkable life.
Anyone who has even the slightest interest in biographies of people who have been "labeled" will find this book to be not only a treasure for the field of human services, but a masterpiece literary glimpse into a life. A very remarkable life. Given to the reader for better or for worse. But,definitly for our better! ... Read more

Product Description
This new gorgeous and diverse collection documents the exhibition "00" at the Barbara Gladstone Gallery in New York. For this exhibition, over one hundred prominent contemporary artists were asked to submit works on paper that were made this year--in '00'. "00" investigates the act of drawing as a vital necessity that transcends the bounds of age, nationality, scale, content, process, and concept. The richness of the medium is reflected by the diversity of the participating artists, who include: Acconci Studio, Kai Althoff, John Baldessari, Miroslaw Balka, Matthew Barney, John Bock, Louise Bourgeois, Cecily Brown, Vija Celmins, Francesco Clemente, Michael Craig-Martin, John Currin, Roy Dowell, Marlene Dumas, Carroll Dunham, Rachel Feinstein, Tim Gardner, April Gornik, Arturo Herrera, Gary Hume, Sol LeWitt, Anish Kapoor, Ellsworth Kelly, Yayoi Kusama, Mark Manders, Brice Marden, Chris Ofili, Elizabeth Peyton, Elle Phelan, Lari Pittman, Richard Prince, Charles Ray, Gregor Schneider, Richard Serra, Serse, Takashi Murakami, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Rosemarie Trockel, Kara Walker, Lawrence Weiner, and Christopher Wool. The resulting exhibition and its accompanying catalogue--including an illuminating essay by the curator and writer Klaus Kertess--act as a definitive survey of the practice of drawing at the present moment. ...

Changing the Meaning of Drawing
This fabulous collction of virtually every one of the most vital contemporary artist is, simply put, a must.The talent and diversity of these works are astounding and envigorating.The title "Drawing" conjures up images of simple sketches, pencil works and other trite mediums of drawing.However, these works prove that drawing, the element of art that is the product of the artist's mind directly onto a surface, is fulfilled in every way.Works like "Detail from Cremaster 3" by Matthew Barney and other works by Ellsworth Kelly, Sol Lewitt, Anish Kapoor, Lari Pittman, Charles Ray and many others make this mini-volume a treasure worth investigating. ...
