Book Synopsis The Passionate Observer by : Jean-Henri Fabre
Download or read book The Passionate Observer written by Jean-Henri Fabre and published by Chronicle Books (CA). This book was released on 1998 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A combination of contemporary watercolors by Marlene McLoughlin and nature writing by the 19th-century French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre. McLoughlin's watercolors vary from detailed illustrations of Fabre's subjects--birds, insects, flowers --to landscapes showing the France in which Fabre worked. Fabre's writing is similarly varied: at one moment he is giving vivid descriptions of eggs and fungi, at the next he is telling stories about his grandmother or his theories on heredity. Fabre's writings are excerpts from his 1879 Souvenirs Entomologiques. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Synopsis Before I Forget by : Jacqueline Fahey
Download or read book Before I Forget written by Jacqueline Fahey and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of memoir by New Zealand artist, feminist, and writer Jacqueline Fahey, this book kicks off after her marriage to celebrated psychiatrist Fraser McDonald. As it recounts Fahey's battles against conventional society to shape a life as an artist as well as a wife and mother, this narrative describes her experience in New Zealand and Australian mental hospitals and art schools, and her friendships with Rita Angus and Eric McCormick. Hilarious, opinionated, and fiery, this account is held together by the inimitable voice of a fiercely original and nonconformist storyteller.
Book Synopsis Her Life's Work by : Deborah Shepard
Download or read book Her Life's Work written by Deborah Shepard and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the impressive careers of five notable New Zealand women, this uncommon examination portrays the lives of Merimeri Penfold, Margaret Mahy, Anne Salmond, Gaylene Preston, and Jacqueline Fahey. Having each carved out their own distinguished reputations as artists, writers, teachers, filmmakers, and thinkers, this investigation demonstrates how each of them has balanced a professional life with a personal one. In five in-depth interviews, this record explores their families, education, the impact intimate relationships have on their creativity, and how each juggles life's demands. Reflecting on immense changes in society throughout their lifetimes, this biographical account illustrates the second half of the 20th century, capturing how it directly affected the women's professional and personal lives. Touching on major events and challenges, this study also depicts the Land March in 1975, the rise of feminism, and the genesis of Indigenous rights movements. With five stunning new photographic portraits by renowned photographer Marti Friedlander, this is a striking example of how those who grappled with sexism, glass ceilings, and domestic expectation still found the balance to lead fruitful public lives in the arts and academia.

Download or read book An Optimist's Tour of the Future written by Mark Stevenson and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Stevenson has been to the future a few years ahead of the rest of us - and reckons it has a lot going for it. His voyage of discovery takes him to Oxford to meet Transhumanists (they intend to live forever), to Boston where he confronts a robot with mood swings, to an underwater cabinet meeting in the Indian Ocean, and Australia to question the Outback's smartest farmer. He clambers around space planes in the Mojave desert, gets to grips with the potential of nanotechnology, delves deep into the possibilities of biotech, sees an energy renaissance on a printer, a revolution in communications, has his genome profiled, and glimpses the next stage of human evolution ... and tries to make sense of what's in store. Insightful and often very funny, An Optimist's Tour of the Future is a book that tracks one curious man's journey to find out what's in store.

Book Synopsis Don't Just Do Something, Sit There: A Manifesto for Living the Slow Life by : Wallace Chapman
Download or read book Don't Just Do Something, Sit There: A Manifesto for Living the Slow Life written by Wallace Chapman and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2013-04-24 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular TV and radio personality Wallace Chapman is on a mission. A mission to chill us all out. He's thought a lot about the syndrome of modern life and thinks he has a few answers. Ranging over such subjects as careers, technology, health and well-being, food, sex and relationships, and employing a captivating mix of pop psychology, science, philosophy and humour, Chapman distils the many mixed messages we receive on a daily basis into a self-help book that's not actually a self-help book. For fans of Daniel Kahneman's bestselling Thinking, Fast and Slow, and anyone else feeling the ravages of time-poorness, Don't Just Do Something, Sit There is a profound yet populist take on considering life as we live it. A balanced life won't happen overnight and if it does, seek help. Because slow living takes time.
Download or read book Native Wit written by Hamish Keith and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lively memoir of one of New Zealand's wittiest art, urbanism and social commentators. Legendary art commentator Hamish Keith returned to much-deserved national attention when his television series and accompanying book The Big Picture seized the imagination of New Zealanders. The high-rating show and bestselling book rekindled fresh enthusiasm for the complex and fascinating story of our art heritage and cemented Keith's stature as one of our most engaging, confronting and witty cultural commentators. Native Wit, Keith's witty, revealing memoir, gives readers an insight into his well-lived, rich and immensely varied life. Whether as a confrere of Colin McCahon, the chairman of the Arts Council, husband of Oscar-winning film costume designer Ngila Dickson, bon vivant and accomplished chef or arch enemy of doddering bureaucrats, Keith has a dynamic personality and a trenchant analysis that makes him a pleasure to read.
Book Synopsis Colin McCahon: Is This the Promised Land? by : Peter Simpson
Download or read book Colin McCahon: Is This the Promised Land? written by Peter Simpson and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 935 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second of an extraordinary two-volume work chronicling forty-five years of painting by our most important artist, Colin McCahon. Colin McCahon (1919–1987) was New Zealand's greatest twentieth-century artist. Through landscapes, biblical paintings, abstraction, and the introduction of words and Maori motifs, McCahon's work came to define a distinctly New Zealand modernist idiom. Collected and exhibited extensively in Australasia and Europe, McCahon's work has not been assessed as a whole for thirty-five years. In this richly illustrated two-volume work, written in an accessible style and published to coincide with the centenary of Colin McCahon's birth, leading McCahon scholar, writer, and curator Dr Peter Simpson chronicles the evolution of the artist's work over McCahon's entire forty-five-year career. Simpson has enjoyed unprecedented access to McCahon's extensive correspondence with friends, family, dealers, patrons, and others. This material enables us to begin to understand McCahon's work as the artist himself conceived it. Each volume includes over three-hundred illustrations in colour, with a generous selection of reproductions of McCahon's work (many never previously published), plus photographs, catalogue covers, facsimiles, and other illustrative material. These books will be the definitive work on New Zealand's leading artist for many years to come.
Download or read book Crazy Love written by Rosetta Allan and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the author's own experiences, this vivid novel explores how - as the Van Morrison song suggests - crazy love can take away the troubles. It can, though, add a whole lot more. 'We save each other, don’t we, when we are in love.' It has been 28 years since Vicki last sent a letter to Robert Muldoon. Last time she wrote, he was Prime Minister, while she was living with her loser-boyfriend and wanting to know why people like her had to exist in such dire straits. Back then, Muldoon sent her a dollar, but it was the irrepressible Billy who turned up and transformed her life. This time Muldoon is dead and it is Billy who has made her so desperate she doesn’t know where to turn. Since running away with Billy, Vicki has barely looked back. Together they have become a family and prospered. They have survived so much, but can they survive Billy’s increasingly erratic behaviour, especially when he seems so set on pulling them apart?
