Book excerpt: Queen Vernita of Oceaneer rings in the New Year by reflecting on her past adventures, expressing gratitude for her many friends, and wondering what the coming months will bring.

What follows is a whirlwind of sun, sand, and as always, endless opportunities for learning. Indeed, Queen Vernita Visits Baja Quail may be the most exciting installment of Dawn Menge's award-winning series. The journey begins with her friend Julianna. She and Vernita spend the month of January learning about dolphins ...where they live, how they eat and play, even the origins of the word. Vernita gets to swim with these gentle creatures and experience firsthand their gracefulness and intelligence. In February, it's off to visit her friend Michelle to learn about Grunion, the silvery fish that play in the moonlight. In March, David takes her horseback riding in the mountains and rafting on the Rio Bravo Del Norte, and in April, her pal Morales takes her walking on the shoreline so she can see the lovely flowers blooming there. Morales explains that the river has many different names, depending on which culture is referring to it. She also learns that the Rio Bravo was formed millions of years ago and used to be travelled by steamboats. For the rest of the year, Vernita wanders through this magical land, learning about regional dances, the Spanish language, German cuisine, monk seals and ... most exciting of all ... the recently discovered Chrystal Cave. But for Vernita, December is the most special month of all; she spends it travelling with Claudia and Boot, a service dog that cheers up the elderly and people with physical challenges. As all of Dawn Menge's books, Queen Vernita Visits Baja Quail teaches children much more than facts and figures; it also imparts valuable life lessons.

Download or read book Every Day I m Hustling written by Vivica A. Fox and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vivica A. Fox is a dynamo who has created a lasting career on her own, through sheer, roll-up-your-sleeves DIY hustle. Every Day I'm Hustling is a personal book with a message Fox passionately believes in: that you make your own luck, that you never ever wake up in the morning thinking somebody’s going to call you and offer you that part or ask you out on that date that’s going to change your life, that you have to wake up and put on your longest eyelashes and fiercest heels and go out and make your life happen yourself. The actress provides start-today strategies for success in business and “been there” lessons in love, buttressed with stories from her early family life all the way through to today. Always honest and always funny, Fox also tells behind-the-scenes tales from some of her biggest movies — such as Uma Thurman’s life-changing advice during Kill Bill and Will Smith's downtime pep talk on Independence Day. And she maps out exactly what it took to come back with a role on the smash hit Empire and her own frisky show on Lifetime, Vivica’s Black Magic. She also shares her how-is-she-53? secrets to looking your best, no matter the age on your driver’s license.

Download or read book Performance Artists Talking in the Eighties written by Linda M. Montano and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance artist Linda Montano, curious about the influence childhood experience has on adult work, invited other performance artists to consider how early events associated with sex, food, money/fame, or death/ritual resurfaced in their later work. The result is an original and compelling talking performance that documents the production of art in an important and often misunderstood community. Among the more than 100 artists Montano interviewed from 1979 to 1989 were John Cage, Suzanne Lacy, Faith Ringgold, Dick Higgins, Annie Sprinkle, Allan Kaprow, Meredith Monk, Eric Bogosian, Adrian Piper, Karen Finley, and Kim Jones. Her discussions with them focused on the relationship between art and life, history and memory, the individual and society, and the potential for individual and social change. The interviews highlight complex issues in performance art, including the role of identity in performer-audience relationships and art as an exploration of everyday conventions rather than a demonstration of virtuosity.
