Download or read book The River, By Moonlight written by Camille Marchetta and published by Virtual Bookworm.Com Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2007-07-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a rainy April night in 1917, a passing vagrant sees a young woman fall (or is it jump?) into New York City's Hudson River. He tries to save her, but fails. The police tentatively identify the woman as Lily Canning, twenty-five years old, from Minuit, a town in the Hudson Valley. But is it Lily? The question torments her mother, Henrietta, as she awaits confirmation. And when it comes, even more anguishing questions arise, for neither accident nor suicide makes sense. Lily could swim like a fish, and with her looks, and wealth, and talent, with an exhibition of her paintings about to open at a prestigious New York gallery, she had everything to live for. In the days following her drowning, her heartbroken mother, her estranged husband, Edmund, her family, her friends, even the servant girl, Nuala, try to unravel Lily's secrets and to come to terms with the devastating consequences of her loss on their own lives. Set in New York City and the Hudson River Valley, when the country was poised on the brink of the First World War, "The River, By Moonlight" is a vivid evocation of time and place, and a poignant portrayal of what happens when individual actions and national events collide. Above all, it is a deeply moving study of grief and despair, of the resilience of human nature, and the triumph of determination and hope.

They may pick your pocket, too, but they’ll take you on an adventure you won’t soon forget. This is a fantasy that kids will adore (and quick-of-paw parents will steal). A wild ride from a wildly imaginative author.”--Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning author of The One and Only Ivan and the bestselling Animorphs series "Bold deeds, betrayals, and buffoonery kick off this series with gusto."--Kirkus Reviews "The sharp, lively descriptions ('like dynamite in a silk purse') shine while the exhilarating finale illustrates that home is wherever your 'howl to snap' friends live."--Publishers Weekly "Readers will root for Kit as he tangles with scoundrels, liars, and even a hungry crocodile....A promising new series for fans of animal adventure."--School Library Journal
Book Synopsis Moonlight on the Mississippi by : Nancy L. Purington
Download or read book Moonlight on the Mississippi written by Nancy L. Purington and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy Purington was born in Scott County, Iowa, where the Mississippi river meets the Wapsipinicon and the channel shifts from north/south to east/west before resuming its meandering course to the gulf. The resulting latitudinal platform expands the radiance of sun and moonlight above myriad reflections and patterns of change. Lock and Dam No. 15, the world's largest roller dam, resists the forces of nature competing to rule the way of water. Opposing wills and alluvial harmonies are illuminated in plane geometry and fluid atmospheres. Purington's aesthetic sensibilities combine medieval perspective and modern art intention with traditional and experimental methods. Indigo, lapis, cobalt, cadmium, gold, silver, palladium, sticks, stones, shells, pearls, and digital photographs express the transformational nature of the Mississippi River experience. When Purington puts color and form to paper, using oil, watercolor, pastel, gouache, and gold leaf to render the countless shapes and shades of a wave ebbing and swelling in the Mississippi, she brings the macrocosm of the river into focus. She helps us to see the endless beauty of the river and to contemplate the mystery of a moment, encouraging us to live, to look closer, again and again. -Jane Milosch, Director, Provenance Research Initiative, Smithsonian institution, Washington, D.C.; former chief curator, Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian America Art Museum As an artist, Nancy Purington's very being is centered on the need to create and make order out the emotions engendered by her passion for the beauty of the natural world. Sky, clouds, water, rocks, shells - objects and images gathered, rendered both elemental and elegant. I have always been impressed with Nancy's integrity as an artist. She does not rely on formula, instead relentlessly exploring an idea until it reaches its natural conclusion, sometimes revisiting a work over a period of years. Moonlight on the Mississippi is the culmination of thousands of hours of living by, observing, remembering, dreaming, and otherwise being inspired by the Mississippi River. If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. --Vincent van Gogh -Barbara Christensen Kamp, Director (1989-2012), Muscatine Art Center Moonlight on the Mississippi features over 140 pieces of Nancy Purington's artwork on 125 pages.

Book Synopsis River of Shadows by : Rebecca Solnit
Download or read book River of Shadows written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-03-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism, The Mark Lynton History Prize, and the Sally Hacker Prize for the History of Technology “A panoramic vision of cultural change” —The New York Times Through the story of the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge, the author of Orwell's Roses explores what it was about California in the late 19th-century that enabled it to become such a center of technological and cultural innovation The world as we know it today began in California in the late 1800s, and Eadweard Muybridge had a lot to do with it. This striking assertion is at the heart of Rebecca Solnit’s new book, which weaves together biography, history, and fascinating insights into art and technology to create a boldly original portrait of America on the threshold of modernity. The story of Muybridge—who in 1872 succeeded in capturing high-speed motion photographically—becomes a lens for a larger story about the acceleration and industrialization of everyday life. Solnit shows how the peculiar freedoms and opportunities of post–Civil War California led directly to the two industries—Hollywood and Silicon Valley—that have most powerfully defined contemporary society.
