Download or read book My Semi Charmed Life written by Georgia Chirbas and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you ever find yourself looking up and asking the question, 'Why me?' You are not alone. We all struggle with turbulence now and then and Georgia Chirbas' My Semi-Charmed Life paints a colorful picture of a life that has seen rigid upbringing, death, abuse, spirituality and its fair share of tragedy. Through the loss of friends, family, lovers and pets, Georgia slowly realized that everything happens for a reason and that life is merely an opportunity for her to learn her soul's real purpose. Eventually, by changing her attitude, she was able to realize that she is a child of the most high God, and that he is always working for good. She learned to make the most of every day and instead of asking 'Why Me?' asks, 'Why not me?' In this autobiographical look at spirituality and life, Georgia asserts that grievances only make us stronger and that coming through hard times will build up the spirit. Though her journey is not yet over, Georgia sees the growth in her own experiences and invites readers to take a glimpse into her Semi-Charmed Life. Georgia Chirbas is the president and founder of her own corporate event planning company, as well as proud mother of two teenage boys and one canine daughter. She has a very small circle of family and friends whom she loves.
Download or read book Twentysomething written by Samantha Henig and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mother-daughter writing team reports on what's really up with kids today Science writer Robin Marantz Henig and her daughter, journalist Samantha Henig, offer a smart, comprehensive look at what it's really like to be twentysomething—and to what extent it’s different for Millennials than it was for their Baby Boomer parents. The Henigs combine the behavioral science literature for insights into how young people make choices about schooling, career, marriage, and childbearing; how they relate to parents, friends, and lovers; and how technology both speeds everything up and slows everything down. Packed with often-surprising discoveries, Twentysomething is a two-generation conversation that will become the definitive book on being young in our time. "The fullest guide through this territory . . . A densely researched report on the state of middleclass young people today, drawn from several data sources and filtered through a comparative lens." —The New Yorker

Download or read book ArtCurious written by Jennifer Dasal and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art history as you've never seen it before, from the host of the beloved ArtCurious podcast We're all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how about the fact that one of Andy Warhol's most enduring legacies involves Caroline Kennedy's moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail clippings? ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most fascinating stories behind the world's great artists and masterpieces. Through these and other incredible, weird, and wonderful tales, ArtCurious presents an engaging look at why art history is, and continues to be, a riveting and relevant world to explore.

Download or read book Audrey Hepburn written by Robyn Karney and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A sumptuous book which will delight idolaters of high fashion and movie stardom.” —Times Literary Supplement Audrey Hepburn is a sumptuous celebration of Hepburn as a beloved fashion icon and actress. Karney tells the story of Hepburn’s life, from her childhood in Nazi-occupied Holland, through her early aspirations to become a ballet dancer, the instant and universal acclaim of her onscreen debut and her years as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars, to her later life working among the poorest children of the Third World. Karney’s book gives fans a rare view into the life of a beloved star. Hepburn’s acting career began after a series of minor revue and film roles in London. Hepburn was spotted by the writer Colette, who immediately cast her in the central role of a Broadway adaptation of her story, Gigi. Soon afterwards, Hepburn was offered a role alongside Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday, for which she collected an Oscar for Best Actress. The book highlights all her success that followed: she won the Tony Award for Best Actress for Ondine, captivated audiences as Natasha in War and Peace, and was highly praised for her brilliance in a serious role in The Nun’s Story. Hepburn’s style was perfection, and her clothes—many of them designed by Givenchy, who dressed her for Funny Face in 1957—placed her on the world’s Best-Dressed Women list for several consecutive years. Her personality and sensuous yet untouchable beauty made her irresistible to the public. On Hepburn’s death, Liz Taylor said, “God has a most beautiful new angel now that will know just what to do in heaven.” Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs.
