Time
1975
"The book is structured around six locations where Goldsworthy has worked over recent years - the semi-desert of Santa Fe, the verdant landscape of New York State in which Cornell University is set, Nova Scotia, forest and coastal areas in Holland, a geological reserve in the south of France and, of course, the area around his home in south-west Scotland. Rich insights into his working methods are provided by the artist's diaries which deliberately document the failures as well as the successes and vividly evoke the ways in which he familiarises himself with a new locale and begins to 'touch' it." "An erudite and fully illustrated chronology compiled by Dr. Terry Friedman provides an overall account of Goldsworthy's career to date, showing, among other things, how particular forms often take many years to become fully developed.". "With a selection of more than 500 illustrations, Time is destined to become the definitive reference source on Goldsworthy's sculpture."--BOOK JACKET.
Time bomb
1991
"It was some time before anyone was able to detect any pattern at all in the bomb explosions, but Lieutenant Danforth of the bomb squad of the IllinoisSecret Police finally did. Each time, bigwigs of the fanatic Sons of America movement were the victims, the bombs exploded only in a restricted area, and always on a rainy night. Many thought that time travelers were at work, moving through space and time and committing their crimes before the event. Mr. Ramsey, telepath-in-residence of the Illinois State Police Force said this was impossible. But even his powers were strained by Danforth's discovery of the very strange Gilbert and Shirley Nash, who surely had some weird - and possibly evil-abilities."--Publisher desccription.
