Considerations for Next Quarter

I was at Orca today and took the opportunity to comb through the art books for spring quarter. Here are three books I know nothing about but seemed interesting:
Unnatural Wonders by Arthur C. Danto -Alicia you mentioned wanting to read some Danto, have you read this before
Visual Shock: a History of Art Controversies in American Culture by Michael Kammen -this looked really interesting, check out the reviews on Amazon.
Writing on the Wall: Word and Image in Modern Art by Simon Morley - Nick, I was thinking of your recent interest in text, but I think this would benefit all of us.

Also Consider Taking the Leap: Building a Career as a Visual Artist by Cay Lang -Alicia and I have both read parts of this. It is exactly what the title says. detailed and current.
