Download or read book Vanishing Animals written by Andy Warhol and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Especially for this book, Andy Warhol has created prints (silkscreen over collage) of some of the most endangered animals in the world. Here they are joined with a stimulating text by Dr Kurt Benirschke affording the reader an opportunity to discover the lives and habits of these animals and what the outlook is for their survival. Extinction, the tragic and permanent loss of entire species of animals, should be a concern for everyone This concern and a strong desire to take action toward preventing the loss of more animals has brought about an unusual collaboration between art and science. The result is this beautiful volume in which artist and scientist have joined efforts to inform and inspire others to take action. It is hoped that these fascinating and striking portrayals will stimulate readers to join their own energies and talents to this important fight against the loss of more species. This book brings some of the less well known endangered animals to the reader's attention. These animals deserve just as much attention as the giant panda or the mountain gorilla about which so much has already been said. Naturally, the animals presented here are very personal choices, having been selected from a virtually endless supply of animals whose last hour is rapidly approaching.
Book Synopsis The Accidental Bestseller by : Wendy Wax
Download or read book The Accidental Bestseller written by Wendy Wax and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the USA Today bestselling author of While We Were Watching Downton Abbey... Once upon a time four aspiring authors met at their very first writers' conference. Ten years later they're still friends, survivors of the ultra-competitive New York publishing world. Mallory St. James is a workaholic whose bestsellers support a lavish lifestyle. Tanya Mason is a single mother juggling two jobs, two kids, and too many deadlines. Faye Truett is the wife of a famous televangelist and the author of inspirational romances: no one would ever guess her explosive secret. Kendall Aims's once-promising career is on the skids-and so is her marriage. Her sales are dismal, her new editor detests her work-and her husband is cheating. Barely able to think, let alone meet her final deadline, Kendall holes up in a mountain cabin to confront a blank page and a blanker future. But her friends won't let her face this trial alone. Together they collaborate on a novel using their own lives as fodder, assuming no one will ever discover the truth behind their words. No one is more surprised than they are when the book becomes a runaway bestseller. But with success comes scrutiny and scandal...as these four best friends suddenly realize how little they've truly known each other.

Book Synopsis An Accidental Envoy by : Bill Samuel
Download or read book An Accidental Envoy written by Bill Samuel and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-06 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Accidental Envoy is a memoir covering the period 1990 to 2005 during which I was involved with the Turks & Caicos Islands, initially as one of a team of consultants charged with devising a strategy to lift that small Caribbean nation, a British Dependent Territory, out of its dependency then successively as Director of Tourism, Superintendent of Banking & Offshore Finance and Government Representative in London. It was a time of great change in TCI during which it went from hopeless dependence on the UK to thriving economic independence. During that time I made many good friends and a few enemies, had much enjoyment and an acceptable level of stress. This is a personal memoir and is naturally subjective. In it I have tried to capture some of the atmosphere of what was a very exhilarating period in the history of the Turks & Caicos
Book Synopsis Accidental Czar by : Andrew S. Weiss
Download or read book Accidental Czar written by Andrew S. Weiss and published by First Second Books. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This riveting graphic novel biography chronicles Vladimir Putin's rise from a mid-level KGB officer to the autocratic leader of Russia and reveals the truth behind the strongman persona he has spent his career cultivating. In the West’s collective imagination, Vladimir Putin is a devious cartoon villain, constantly plotting and scheming to destroy his enemies around the globe and in Ukraine. But how did an undistinguished mid-level KGB officer become one of the most powerful leaders in Russian history? And how much of Putin’s tough-guy persona is a calculated performance? In Accidental Czar, Andrew S. Weiss, a former White House Russia expert, and Brian “Box” Brown show how Putin has successfully cast himself as a cunning, larger-than-life political mastermind—and how the rest of the world has played into the Kremlin’s hands by treating him as one. They shatter all of these myths and expose the man behind the façade.
