Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. What mom doesn't recall the magical seasons surrounding the birth of her baby--the anticipation felt during pregnancy; the pain and pride, on delivering; the joy of watching her child grow? And what dad can forget saying to himself, upon first holding his infant, "I'm really a father now," with all the accompanying awareness of being responsible for another human being? Chronicling the development of his own firstborn, from her conception through age one, Louis Daniel Brodsky provides, for us all--from experienced parents to those who have yet to see that "gleam in the eye"--a window on that glorious time.

Download or read book Visions of Heaven written by Martin Kemp and published by Lund Humphries Publishers Limited. This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the greatest European writers, whose untrammelled imaginative capacity was matched by a huge base in embracing the science of his era. His texts also paint compelling visual images. In Visions of Heaven, renowned scholar Martin Kemp investigates Dante's supreme vision of divine light and its implications for the visual artists who were the inheritors of Dante's vision. The whole book may be regarded as a new Paragone (comparison), the debate that began in the Renaissance about which of the arts is superior. Dante's ravishing accounts of divine light set painters the severest challenge, which took them centuries to meet. A major theme running through Dante's Divine Comedy, particularly in its third book, the Paradiso, centres on Dante's acts of seeing (conducted according to optical rules with respect to the kind of visual experience that can be accomplished on earth) and the overwhelming of Dante's earthly senses by heavenly light, which does not obey his rules of earthly optics. The repeated blinding of Dante by excessive light sets the tone for artists' portrayal of unseeable brightness.

Download or read book The Making of Beaubourg written by Nathan Silver and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1997-02-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of how France's famed cultural icon, one of the most controversial and supremely public buildings of the century, was designed and built. Nathan Silver's detailed account of the Centre Pompidou -- still called Beaubourg by its designers, and by Parisians -- takes the form of a fascinating and insightful "building biography." Not just a book about a building but about the making of a building, this fresh, heterodox means of inquiry is a holistic reading of the intricate process of creating architecture in contemporary society that brings to light its human story, encompassing its stylistic, historical, technical, and social aspects. Beaubourg, Silver reveals, was unlike anything that had ever been built. A realization of ideals and aspirations of it architectural generation, a rethinking of fundamental precepts of design and construction, it took nothing for granted, and it has since become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Europe -- flaunting new principles that other architects have to come to terms with.

Things happen around Phoebe, but it’s not like they’re her fault! But when a statue of Athena comes to life, Phoebe gets the stunning news she’s the daughter of Zeus, has a twin brother named Perseus—and was sent away from ancient Greece as a baby to stop a terrible prophecy that predicted she would one day destroy Olympus. Athena warns Phoebe to stay in hiding, but when the vengeful god Ares kidnaps her beloved social worker, Phoebe has no choice—she has to travel back to ancient Greece and rescue him!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ordinary group assignment takes a turn as the decision to turn the project into a criminal investigation is made. Is the criminal who has been in jail for the past 10 years guilty? Was he framed? Is he a good liar? Was he rightfully accused? There are so many questions and not enough answers, at least not yet. As the group digs deeper into the truths of the past, they risk uncovering long-buried secrets that were meant to remain hidden. Each revelation propels them further into a complex and dangerous world. With every discovery, the bonds of friendship and trust among the group are tested, and unexpected romances surface. As the stakes continue to rise, these five students—Ivy Alcazar, James Adler, Daniel Kwon, Tristan Atwood and Rose Carter—must grapple with the consequences of their search for the truth. They soon come to realise that the price of uncovering the past can be far higher than they ever imagined.

Book excerpt: Astrid Lamb could care less about being a witch. She'd much rather lead her gang of teenage miscreants into battle against their rival groups. Unfortunately, her 16th birthday is approaching, and she'll be expected to learn magic and assist her mother in the family trade. But when the elder witch is arrested by the aristocratic Magicians' Guild for performing illegal magic, Astrid's world is flipped upside down. She learns that her mother is more than a simple brewer of potions - she is the leader of the Left Hand, a revolutionary group that is dedicated to overthrowing the Guild. The little witch will have to team up with an astonishing assortment of allies: an airship captain who smuggles magical contraband, a sympathetic magician and his snobby son, and a pair of sorcerers from New York. But even with help, the situation is grim. If the Guild can extract the information that Astrid's mother holds, all will be lost. How can a kid from the slums possibly stand up against a thousand-year-old institution?
Download or read book The Attentive Eye written by Helen Dudar and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an album of the famous and infamous seen through the attentive eye of the late journalist Helen Dudar "a writer," as the editor's preface remarks, "of wit, grace, rigor, intellect and astonishing range." In these pages, Paul Cézanne cohabits with John Updike, Sigmund Freud with Shelley Winters, Michael Douglas with Malcolm X; Dylan Thomas and Janice Joplin are discovered sleeping under the same roof, although in different beds and at different times; Woody Allen is encountered as a young comic on the way up, Henry Kissinger as a world leader on the way down, Norman Mailer as an office-seeker on the way nowhere. The threads binding them together in these fifty-two stories are Dudar's luminous prose, her authoritative voice, and her keen, ironic vision. "She is a writer's writer, a journalist's journalist, and a reporter's reporter," the filmmaker Nora Ephron says in her introduction. "...Helen Dudar writes frequently about everything and does it better than just about anyone else." The Editor
