Originally published by Yale University Press in 1963 as a limited silkscreen edition with 150 color plates, Interaction of Color first appeared in paperback in 1971, featuring ten color studies chosen by Albers, and has remained in print ever since.

There are ten different groups, each with a different social system – we see one in detail through Drayden’s characters, and only get glimpses of a few others. The people “terraform” the interior of the beasts, exploiting both the beasts’ internal systems and the biota that have adapted to live inside them as those systems are exhausted, the society has to move from one beast to another. ![]() In Escaping Exodus, people use a pod of space whales as generation ships to escape an (unnamed) catastrophe on Earth. ![]() This is a classic SF trope: Drayden takes it to new places. One rises, one falls, and their complex and forbidden relationship causes a major rupture in the society. On a generation ship, two young people from different classes meet and fall in love. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The dramatic story of Long-Term’s fall is now a chilling harbinger of the crisis that would strike all of Wall Street, from Lehman Brothers to AIG, a decade later. But after four years in which the firm dazzled Wall Street as a $100 billion moneymaking juggernaut, it suddenly suffered catastrophic losses that jeopardized not only the biggest banks on Wall Street but the stability of the financial system itself. When it was founded in 1993, Long-Term was hailed as the most impressive hedge fund in history. Drawing on confidential internal memos and interviews with dozens of key players, Lowenstein explains not just how the fund made and lost its money but also how the personalities of Long-Term’s partners, the arrogance of their mathematical certainties, and the culture of Wall Street itself contributed to both their rise and their fall. ![]() In this business classic-now with a new Afterword in which the author draws parallels to the recent financial crisis-Roger Lowenstein captures the gripping roller-coaster ride of Long-Term Capital Management.
