Absolutely smashing!" -Candace Fleming, award-wining author "Kate Messner serves up fun, fast history for kids who want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. ![]() "A history book for middle-graders that should be on everyone's (child and adult) to-read list." - Shelf Awareness “Messner and Meconis provide a timely perspective on an important part of American history.” - School Library Journal "Well-researched, entertaining, and packed with facts." - Booklist "The book’s format may be a good match for those with shorter attention spans, and permits it to be gratifyingly capacious in what it covers." - New York Times Book Review "Critical, respectful, engaging: exemplary history for children." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review ![]() ![]() ![]() Marx organized the International and helped found the Social Democratic Party of Germany. His Das Kapital came out in three volumes (1867, 18). Marx worked as foreign correspondent for several U.S. After the failed revolution of 1848 in Germany, in which Marx participated, he eventually wound up in London. He and Engels founded the Communist League in 1847 and published the Communist Manifesto. After being expelled from France at the urging of the Prussian government, which "banished" Marx in absentia, Marx studied economics in Brussels. ![]() Educated at the Universities of Bonn, Jena, and Berlin, Marx founded the Socialist newspaper Vorwärts! in 1844 in Paris. His father, born Jewish, converted to Protestantism shortly before Karl's birth in response to a prohibition newly introduced into the Rhineland by the Prussian Kingdom on Jews practicing law. Marx was born in Trier, a city then in the Kingdom of Prussia's Province of the Lower Rhine. (University of Jena, 1841) was a social scientist who was a key contributor to the development of Communist theory. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bendis is writing the film version of Jinx for Universal Pictures with Oscar-winner Charlize Theron attached to star and produce.īendis’s other projects include the Harvey, Eisner, and Eagle Award-nominated Powers (with Michael Avon Oeming) originally from Image Comics, now published by Marvel's new creator-owned imprint Icon Comics, and the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory from Oni Press, both of which received an "A" from Entertainment Weekly.īendis is one of the premiere architects of Marvel's "Ultimate" line: comics specifically created for the new generation of comic readers.

First available as a signed and limited volume, this updated edition of Pancha Tantra is the most comprehensive survey of Ford's oeuvre to date, with 40 new works, more than 120 additional pages, and a new essay by the artist. About the book: At first glance, Walton Ford’s large-scale, highly-detailed watercolors of animals recall the prints of 19th-century illustrators John James Audubon and Edward Lear. In dazzling watercolor, the images impress as much for their impeccable realism as they do for their complex narratives. 2008: Walton Ford signs his Baby SUMO Pancha Tantra at TASCHEN Store Beverly Hills. In this stunning but sinister visual universe, beasts and birds are not mere aesthetic objects but dynamic actors in allegorical struggles: a wild turkey crushes a small parrot in its claw a troupe of monkeys wreaks havoc on a formal dinner table an American buffalo is surrounded by bloodied white wolves. A closer look reveals a complex and disturbingly anthropomorphic universe, full of symbols, sly jokes, and allusions to the 'operatic' quality of traditional natural history.

In this ferociously imaginative novel, abortion is once again illegal in America, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One thing that I absolutely LOVED about this book was the strong female leadership throughout. Instead of packing up and heading back to the safety of Ohio, Katie embraces every aspect of her new life and handles everything quite well. Add to that that the bakery is opening in a few days, and there are two handsome men who seem attracted to her (and she is attracted right back!) but can’t bear to be in each others’ presence even for a minute and Katie’s new life is a tad more complicated than she had anticipated. If that isn’t enough to deal with, through a turn of events, her uncle is now a primary murder suspect. Right from the start, two things that I love: baking and the south! Katie begins to settle into her new life only to discover that her aunt is a witch, and Katie herself might be one too. Her first book is about Katie Lightfoot who packs up her life in Ohio to manage a new bakery that her aunt and uncle are opening in Georgia. “Brownies and Broomsticks” is Cates’ writing debut. Surprisingly, it took me a week or two, but I finally have a new review for everyone! I decided to try something a bit different and picked up the first book in the start of a new series, Magical Bakery Mysteries, called “Brownies and Broomsticks” by Bailey Cates. ![]() ![]() ![]() Three great storylines weave through the books, charting the civil war for control of the Seven Kingdoms the defence of the towering Wall of ice in the uttermost north against the unearthly threat of the Others and across the Narrow Sea the rise to power of Daenerys Targaryen and the last live dragons in the world.

It was a look that might be described as Our Lady of Immaculate Taste - or, perhaps, as faintly Protestant. She wore a vintage black Yves Saint Laurent dress (high neck, bell sleeves) and a black Céline evening coat. The Gentlewoman is a biannual women’s magazine first launched by the Dutch founders of Fantastic Man Martin was the rare editor not employed by Condé Nast to make Vogue’s guest list.

Sure, it gets repetitive, but if you're the hopeful type it's easy to fall in love with Irina's optimism.įor example: She wears white and asks Chebutykin, "tell me why I feel so happy today! I feel as if I had sails flying in the wind, and sky over me was bright blue and full of white birds" (1.23). During the first three acts, she constantly repeats her desire to return home. She never had time to think of it as anything but her awesome childhood, so sure, she might be idealizing a little, but she's homesick-give the girl a break. ![]() ![]() Yup, this playwright likes to include a girl who's innocent, cheerful, and full of hope.Īnyway, Irina moved to the country at age nine, so she has the fewest memories of Moscow-but also the most intense attachment. She bears a close resemblance to Anya in another of Chekhov's famous plays, The Cherry Orchard. At twenty, Irina is the youngest Prozorov sister, and when the play starts, she even acts kind of like a kid to underscore that whole youngest thing. ![]() |
