Book excerpt: Equal parts mail art, data visualization, and affectionate correspondence, Dear Data celebrates "the infinitesimal, incomplete, imperfect, yet exquisitely human details of life," in the words of Maria Popova (Brain Pickings), who introduces this charming and graphically powerful book. For one year, Giorgia Lupi, an Italian living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American in London, mapped the particulars of their daily lives as a series of hand-drawn postcards they exchanged via mail weekly—small portraits as full of emotion as they are data, both mundane and magical. Dear Data reproduces in pinpoint detail the full year's set of cards, front and back, providing a remarkable portrait of two artists connected by their attention to the details of their lives—including complaints, distractions, phone addictions, physical contact, and desires. These details illuminate the lives of two remarkable young women and also inspire us to map our own lives, including specific suggestions on what data to draw and how. A captivating and unique book for designers, artists, correspondents, friends, and lovers everywhere.

Download or read book Postcards from Penguin written by Penguin and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a different and iconic Penguin book jacket. From classics to crime, here are over seventy years of quintessentially British design in one box. In 1935 Allen Lane stood on a platform at Exeter railway station, looking for a good book for the journey to London. His disappointment at the poor range of paperbacks on offer led him to found Penguin Books. The quality paperback had arrived. Declaring that 'good design is no more expensive than bad', Lane was adamant that his Penguin paperbacks should cost no more than a packet of cigarettes, but that they should always look distinctive. Ever since then, from their original - now world-famous - look featuring three bold horizontal stripes, through many different stylish, inventive and iconic cover designs, Penguin's paperback jackets have been a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture. And whether they're for classics, crime, reference or prize-winning novels, they still follow Allen Lane's original design mantra. Sometimes, you definitely should judge a book by its cover.

Download or read book Postcards from Babylon The Church In American Exile written by Brian Zahnd and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original gospel proclamation that the Lord of the nations was a crucified Galilean raised from the dead and that salvation was found in vowing allegiance to Jesus of Nazareth unleashed a shock wave that turned the Roman Empire upside down. Early Christianity was subversive and dangerous-dangerous for Christians and a threat to the keepers of the old order. Most of all Christianity was countercultural. But what about contemporary American Christianity? Is it the countercultural way of Jesus or merely a religious endorsement of Americanism? In his provocative book, Postcards From Babylon, Brian Zahnd challenges the reader to see and embrace a daring Jesus-centered Christianity that can again turn the world upside down."In a bold and daring articulation, Brian Zahnd has sketched a 'Theology of the Cross' for our time and place in the United States of the twenty-first century. He does so in a way that deeply resonates with the primal claims of evangelical theology. He sees that the Gospel is inherently and inescapably countercultural because the God of the Gospel is in particular and passionate solidarity with the 'left behind.'"--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary"If I had miraculous powers, I would interrupt the programming of every religious broadcast in America, then, as Jesus replaced water with wine, I would substitute the message from Brian Zahnd that you'll read in this book. Read it and you'll see why. I recommend that you buy two copies of this book. Immediately read one-underline it and extract quotes from it to share on Facebook and Twitter, and refer to it in sermons and casual conversations. Send the other to that friend or relative who likes to talk about God and country. Include a note asking if they'd be willing to talk with you about it after they read it. Then see what happens as these Postcards from Babylon do their work in you and in others."--Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration"This love letter from a concerned pastor will enrage contemporary Pharaohs and their false prophets who blaspheme by blessing everything that Christ came to free us from. Postcards from Babylon diagnoses the diabolical and invites us to become pilgrims on Christ's narrow road that delivers us out into life."--Jarrod McKenna, pastor, founder of First Home Project for refugees in Australia

Download or read book Victorian Valentines written by and published by Darling. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most romantic and florid expressions of love were the fashion in the Victorian Age, which was to be expected of a time that masked and ornamented the erotic impulse. The end of that era was coincident with the golden age of the postcard (1890 to World War 1) and so we have tens of thousands of Valentine's Day postcards, many displaying high levels of imaginations and design. Each age leaves an impact of its character in its greeting cards and other paper ephemera. We see in the beautiful postcards of the late Victorians that era's predilections in both love and design. The imagery in Victorian Valentines Postcard Book is largely formal because, to the Victorians, love was a serious business. We see beautiful women, well-groomed children, and the classical February 14 icons of cherubs, ornate hearts and many beautiful flowers. This is a thoroughly decorated universe, featuring baroque typography, bows and ribbons everywhere, and the occasional touch of lace. So felicitously do Valentine's Day and Victoriana mesh that much of what we think of as traditional Valentine's Day imagery is Victorian in origin. We have selected 30 favorites from our collection for this gathering. That complex of attitude and tendencies that we call the Victorian Age did not, of course, vanish on the Queen's death in 1900. It persisted and evolved until the First World War. For this book we have confined ourselves to postcards published before 1910.

Download or read book Postcards to the Future written by Anne Whitaker and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-18 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcards to the Future: Mercurial Musings 1995-2021 brings together the very best work in astrological journalism by Anne Whitaker, first published in and on such highly respected magazines and websites as The Mountain Astrologer, The Astrological Journal, Dell Horoscope, Astrodienst (astro.com) and more. This unique collection of essays and articles covers a vast spectrum of subjects - from planetary cycles, Fate, the 12th house, professional ethics and science to transits, progressions, planetary ingresses, Jungian psychology and the astrological links between between Frankenstein creator Mary Shelley and climate activist Greta Thunberg. Even Dolly the Sheep''s cosmic significance is charted. As a writer and columnist, Anne Whitaker carries her considerable learning lightly. She combines a forensic approach to subjects with flashes of sardonic humour, often linking themes to her own extraordinary and eventful life. This approach has earned her an army of fans (and editors) who appreciate her fearlessness, honesty, openness and critical robustness. Praise for Postcards by leading astrologers: "Prolific writer, creative thinker, caring soul and in-depth astrologer. Anne Whitaker reveals all these characters in this engaging compilation of astrological writings and musings, inspired by her 40+ years of immersion in astrology. I greatly admire the way Anne animates astrological symbols so they live in the moment and touch us deeply. Postcards is brimming with these moments." - Brian Clark, author of Soul, Symbol and Imagination "Postcards to the Future by master astrologer Anne Whitaker is a superlative collection of delight and depth. Anne offers us sagacious storytelling treasures of soulful, relatable experience culled from her lifetime of study, counseling, teaching, and writing, including her much-loved Dell Horoscope column. Each recollection of old cycles or new horizons brims with the wisdom and wit that only four decades of exploration through a lens of eloquent self-observation and poetic psychological awareness could give. ''A life well examined'', Socrates would say, and wonderfully shared in this rich, sophisticated compilation - Ronnie Grishman, Editor Emeritus, Dell Horoscope magazine "An in-depth knowledge of astrology requires an investigative and probing mind. To become proficient in the art, astrologers must learn more than the basics and how to apply them - they must test assumptions learned from books and teachers, put energy into researching the links between birth charts and biographies, and keep curious and observant - always keen to refine their craft. Astrology must also be a deeply personal pursuit, for the way in which we approach and interpret a birth chart reflects our subjective view of the world. However open we astrologers may be to others'' viewpoints and techniques, inevitably we relate to a birth chart from our own lens coloured by life experiences and interactions. "Postcards to the Future fulfils both criteria. It''s a diverse compendium of astute, hard-won, professional observations that also contains many humorous and personal anecdotes. It''s a sincere reflection of Anne Whitaker''s pursuit of all things astrological, and her personal journey as a psychological astrologer and consultant... "The essays in Postcards are peppered with new perspectives on familiar topics - the sort of perceptive analyses only available to a writer after years of searching and researching the subject...In Anne Whitaker, we meet these through a Mercury-Pluto conjunction and Jupiter in Scorpio in the 3rd house - placements worthy of a writer, counsellor, teacher and mentor who has made astrology her creative passion for over 40 years." - Frank C. Clifford, celebrated astrologer, teacher, lecturer, publisher and author

Download or read book Postcards from the Road written by Jonathan Day and published by Intellect Books. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walker Evans said in his 1958 introduction to Robert Frank’s The Americans, 'For the thousandth time, it must be said that pictures speak for themselves, wordlessly, visually, or they fail.' The images revolutionized post-war American photography. With their candid images of men and women from all classes and walks of life, the photographs presented a very different story than that portrayed by the wholesome caricature of midcentury prosperity pervading American photography at the time. Although initially dismissed by his peers for his pioneering work, Frank was ultimately credited with changing the course of the art form, and his photography holds a secure status in the history of twentieth-century art. And he did all this without words. It seems appropriate then – and not a little overdue – that Jonathan Day has created a book that expounds, explores and examines Frank’s work pictorially. Taking Frank’s iconic images as his point of reference, Day shot new photographs that commented on the road and contemporary America. Here, these images are paired with critical commentary that details the aspects of the work that are visually expounded and explained in Day’s complementary images. A visual entryway to the photographs and themes of this iconic book in the history of photography, Postcards from the Road represents an innovative, carefully considered departure from standard photographic textbooks.
