artist biography
Alfred Birger Halling was born January 13, 1907 in Eskilstuna, Södermanland. He was a Swedish painter and print maker.

Halling was self taught as an artist and took study trips to Norway, Denmark, England, Germany in 1936 and 1937, and Paris and Italy in 1949 and 1953. Calling initially painted landscapes early in his career (1932-38), and then subsequently shifted his subject matter to still life and figurative works, often with a strong cubist influence in the 1940s and 50s. His paintings were predominantly in oil but he also worked in gouache. As a print maker he produced colour lithographs and serigraphs. He painted some public art works including a large al secco mural painting that covers the fund wall inside the Västerås city library (1955), in Västerås city hall and at Västmanland County Council.

His debut exhibition was at Galerie Moderne in 1938. Select solo exhibitions include ones at Gummeson's art gallery in Stockholm in 1944 and 1948, Galerie St Lucas in Stockholm in 1946, Linköping in 1948, Göteborg and Eskilstuna in 1950, Norrköping in 1951, and Hälsingborg in 1952.

Examples of Halling’s work are held in public collections in Sweden including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum, Östersund Museum, Norrköping Art Museum, Sörmland Museum and Eskilstuna Art Museum.

Halling passed away in 1996.

Excellent Overview of Carthage
Format: Hardcover
293 pages of text/maps/b&w figures; 8 pages of color plates; 15 pages of end notes (mostly citations); 20 page Bibliography; 6 page Primary Bibliography; 2 page Acknowledgements; 8 area maps; 1 battle map [Cannae]. This is a well written history of Carthage. It provides a one source overview of the background and history of the city/empire. As a reasonably well read layperson, I am familiar at an overview level with the Punic Wars, Rome, Alexander, and the Alexandrine successor states and this book packaged Carthaginian information very well while adding interesting information that I hadn't come across before. I was somewhat disappointed (hence the 4 star rather than 5 star rating) that there was a very limited drill down to a lower level of detail, particularly from such a noted author. However, this is probably an unfair criticism given the limited amount of archeological information available and the millennia of effort that has been spent in pigeonholing Carthage according to the desired perceptions. I recommend the book highly as a well written overview of Carthage.

Great substance; lousy writing.
Format: Kindle
Reviewing this book is not an easy task. Previously I had very limited knowledge of this period of history. With no background, I found the subject spellbinding. The author has done a wonderful job of gathering, and reconciling, ancient sources of mixed reliability. But, in undertaking that task, the text becomes repetitive, difficult to follow and frankly just plain boring. In addition, the writing style and format detracts substantially from the pleasure of learning from the substance. Everything from run-on sentences with mixed subjects to unclear antecedents, to character confusion because of similarity of names and the author's expectation that one can remember which player is on stage at any given moment. My main criticism of the book is that the downsides could have been avoided by application of the skills of a decent editor who instinctively would have addressed and corrected the confusion in presentation that made it a very difficult read. I hope that a cleaned up edition is prepared and the book released again; I think the effort would be worth the result.

This composer has written an amazing piece of music.
I like how an ancient setting coupled with a new style of composing can produce something so very special. The composer is very creative, and the artists do his work justice. A serious-minded classisist will love this DVD.
