![]() ![]() Blake allows her characters to make mistakes and reach their own conclusions without passing judgments on them, in a story written with realism and sensitivity. Blake ( Suffer Love) skillfully assembles a complex story about the wonders of first love while exploring challenges all teenagers face, such as growing up and gaining independence. ![]() ![]() But as Grace learns about Eva’s tragic past and watches her mother forge a friendship with Eva built on grief, Grace’s tenuously constructed world begins to crumble as her mother sets her up to fail, both consciously and unconsciously. When Grace meets Eva on the beach, the attraction is instant. Her alcoholic and unstable mother, Maggie, has never fully recovered from the death of Grace’s father 15 years earlier, and she can’t hold a job or home long enough for Grace to feel safe. I ended up DNF’ing House of Sky and Breath by SJM - I liked the first book but this one dragged way too much for me to want to finish it. If 17-year-old piano prodigy Grace’s only problem were her upcoming audition for the prestigious Manhattan School of Music, her life would be simple. This week I only read one book Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake which was a super cute sapphic romance. ![]()

The Island of Dr Moreau demonstrates that civilization, created and sustained through war and strife, is savage. Moreau, mad scientist that he is, fails to civilize his subordinate species, but in his barbaric civilizing attempt demonstrates the savage nature of mankind, civilized or not. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896) is a postcolonial commentary on empire, examining Moreau’s biological construction and rule over a subordinate species. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In his introduction to Interaction of Color, Albers writes: In doing this, he created one of the best manuals for any visual artist hoping to better understand the role that color plays within their work. Originally published in 1963, Albers’ approach to color theory still feels relevant today because he places the importance of practice before theory. Previous students have described my color course as invaluable rigorous but also rewarding and something every artist should learn. These exercises demand precision and patience, but also teach us how to see, and how to make color do things. ![]() Years later, when I was asked to teach a Color class at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I knew that I wanted to build the course around the exercises in the Interaction of Color. The Slade had one of the original sets of screen prints that accompanied the first edition, so I spent hours poring over the prints and marveling at the mutability of color. I first encountered Albers’ Interaction of Color as an undergraduate student at the Slade School of Fine Art, in London, U.K. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As there is so much different information, I selected a conservation story one by one with a break in-between. Sometimes I had to put away the book for some time to think about an animal story. In some animal species only few individuals were left in the wild, while other animals were even already lost in the wild, but reintroduced successfully in their natural environment again.Īlthough the book is both inspirational and educational, for me, "Hope for animals and their world" is not a book to read from the beginning to the end all at once. Jane Goodall has many conservation stories to talk about. Jane Goodall narrates in her book how dedicated people and their groups put all their efforts into the rescue of an animal species.īe it the California Condor in the US, the Crested ibis in China or the Iberian Lynx in Spain. The first, Lost in the Wild, is a harrowing description of how 'passionate. Goodall has worked extensively on climate action, human rights, conservation, and animal welfare issues for decades, and continues to be a central. The focus in the book is on HOW endangered animal species are rescued from the brink of extinction. Hope for Animals is gorgeously illustrated and dense with compelling stories organized into six thematic parts. Goodall is the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, a global conservation, advocacy, animal welfare, research, and youth empowerment organization, including her global Roots & Shoots program. The complete title of the book is "Hope for animals and their world – How endangered species are being rescued from the brink". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Arthur Seaton, 21, works in a bicycle factory (as did Sillitoe himself, aged 14, and his father before him). Saturday Night and Sunday morning is the story of a deeply flawed, often unlikeable, mendacious young man of extreme charm and more self-reflective depth than his heavily boozing, serially philandering and enjoying of fisticuffs would indicate. Sillitoe himself, who died in 2010, had left school at 14, and failed to get into a grammar school – despite the fact that as the adult man would prove, he was fiercely intelligent, with a ferociously enquiring mind, and deeply thinking. Nottingham in the fifties : an exuberant, cynical and poetic slice of the timesĪlan Sillitoe’s first novel, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, first published in 1958 rather burst into that territory which came to be described, in literature and especially in theatre, as that of ‘The Angry Young Man’ Playwrights such as Wesker and Osborne were writing about working class experience in a way which celebrated and showed the vigour of a kind of angry, cynical awareness of class politics, and how the establishment worked to grind down the working class. ![]() ![]() This may include their name, phone number, email, or business.
