Download or read book After Iris written by Natasha Farrant and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a combination of conventional diary entries and transcripts of videos shot by the author on the camera she was given for her 13th birthday, and beginning at the end of summer. Bluebell Gadsby is 13 but that's the least of her problems. Both her parents seem more interested in their careers than the family, leaving Blue and her three siblings in the care of Zoran the au pair, as well as their three pet rats (who may or may not be pregnant). The enigmatic Joss moves in next door and Blue thinks she might be falling in love, until he takes out her older sister Flora instead (who, incidentally, is trying to make a statement by dying her hair bright pink but no one takes the blindest bit of notice). Blue thinks and feels very deeply about life but can't really talk to anyone about it, because no one in the Gadsby family wants to address the real problem - that Blue's twin sister, Iris, died a year ago, and they are all just trying to hide their grief in busyness... So Blue turns to her diary and her unique way of seeing the world through her camcorder to express herself. A tender, funny, smart and ultimately heartwarming story.
Download or read book Make Ink written by Jason Logan and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The pigments he concocts from these humble beginnings are as fun to make as they are eye-opening to work with . . . the world never quite looks the same.” —MarthaStewart.com A 2018 Best Book of the Year—The Guardian The Toronto Ink Company was founded in 2014 by designer and artist Jason Logan as a citizen science experiment to make eco-friendly, urban ink from street-harvested pigments. In Make Ink, Logan delves into the history of inkmaking and the science of distilling pigment from the natural world. Readers will learn how to forage for materials such as soot, rust, cigarette butts, peach pits, and black walnut, then how to mix, test, and transform these ingredients into rich, vibrant inks that are sensitive to both place and environment. Organized by color, and featuring lovely minimalist photography throughout, Make Ink combines science, art, and craft to instill the basics of ink making and demonstrate the beauty and necessity of engaging with one of mankind’s oldest tools of communication. “Logan demystifies the process, encouraging experimentation and taking a fresh look at urban environments.” —NPR “The book is full of inspiration and takes a lot of the mystery out of ink making, at least at its simplest level. And it also reminds me why I love ink—any ink or liquid color as much as I do.” —The Well-Appointed Desk “Quite a few recipes . . . that use color from the kitchen: carrots, black beans, blueberries, turmeric, and onion skins all make beautiful ink colors.” —Design Observer “Make Ink opens up about methods, providing an open source guide to DIY ink.” —CityLab

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A charismatic businessman casts a dark spell over others in this psychologically suspenseful novel by the Man Booker Prize–winning author of The Black Prince. Mischa Fox’s name is known throughout London, though he himself is rarely seen. Enigmatic and desired, vicious yet sympathetic, he is a model of success, wealth, and charisma. When Fox turns his entrepreneurial gaze on a small feminist magazine known as the Artemis, his intoxicating influence quickly begins to affect the lives of those involved with the paper: the fragile editor, Hunter; generous Rosa, who splits her time and affections between her brother and two other men; innocent Annette, whose journey from school to the real world ends up being more fraught than she could have foreseen; and their circle of friends and acquaintances, all of whom find themselves both drawn to and repulsed by Fox. Told with dark humor, keen wit, and intense insight into the seductive nature of power, The Flight from the Enchanter is an intricate and dazzling work of fiction from the author of The Sea, The Sea and Under the Net, “one of the most significant novelists of her generation” (The Guardian).

Book Synopsis The Blind Storyteller by : Iris Berent
Download or read book The Blind Storyteller written by Iris Berent and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do newborns think? Do they know that "three" is greater than "two"? Do they prefer "right" to "wrong"? Laypeople hold strong beliefs on such topics. These beliefs are stories we tell ourselves about what we know and who we are. They reflect our understanding of ourselves and others, and shape our thinking about topics such as mental disorders, free will, and the afterlife. But many of these stories are misguided. We, the storytellers, are blind. How could we get it so wrong? In a novel provocative theory, Berent proposes that our errors emanate from the very principles that make our minds tick. Our blindness to human nature is rooted in human nature itself.
Download or read book Iris Apfel written by Iris Apfel and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fashion icon, “a joyous, colorful collection of photographs; drawings; reflections; and personal mottos on marriage, business, fame and style” (Boca Raton Observer). The late great Iris Apfel was a woman who transcended time and trends—one of the most original and dynamic personalities in the worlds of fashion, textiles, and interior design. Written a few years before her passing at age 102, this is a lavishly illustrated memoir in which she shares her musings, anecdotes, and incomparable wisdom. As the cofounder with her husband of Old World Weavers, an international textile manufacturing company that specialized in reproducing antique fabrics, she served a prestigious clientele including Greta Garbo, Estee Lauder, Montgomery Clift, and Joan Rivers. She also acted as a restoration consultant and replicated fabric for the White House over nine presidential administrations. Iris’s worldwide travels and devotion to flea markets inspired her work and fueled her passion for collecting fashion and accessories. In 2005, she was the first living person who was not a designer to have her clothing and accessories exhibited at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a blockbuster show that catapulted her to fame and a career as a model, muse, and collaborator for renowned brands from Citroen to Tag Heuer. In 2015, acclaimed director Albert Maysles released Iris, his Emmy Award-nominated documentary, to a global audience. This celebratory volume captures her unique joie de vivre and features 180 full-color and black-and-white photos and illustrations—presented in the same improvisational, multifaceted style that made Iris a much-loved legend. “It’s hard to resist this self-proclaimed ‘geriatric starlet.’ With her owlish glasses, loud prints and necklaces upon necklaces, even in her 90s, Apfel is a fashion icon who combines a memoir with photos of the vibrant contents of her closets.” —The New York Times Book Review

Book excerpt: HANDS AT WORK: Portraits and Profiles of People Who Work with Their Hands portrays, through stories and black-and-white photographs, forty-two people who are passionate about laboring with their hands. Through biography, geography, and technical description, author Iris Graville weaves vivid narratives of a boat-builder, potter, physical therapist, painter, baker, midwife, chef, sign language interpreter, blacksmith, and others as they describe how and why they do what they do. They talk of living in their hands and needing to get them dirty, cold, or wet. For them, the materials they use are alive and responsive; through their hands, they learn things they didn't know and are connected to different times, places, and people.Much of the story of these individuals and their work is portrayed in Summer Moon Scriver's striking photographs of their hands, tools, materials, and work spaces. The images convey a passion for work that has become rare for many Americans and suggest that these people are not only willing to labor with their hands but are also nourished by that labor. Stories and photographs combined produce a rich tapestry that will kindle readers' inspiration and provide insight into their own endeavors.

Book Synopsis Battles of the Mind by : Baiba Stalidzane
Download or read book Battles of the Mind written by Baiba Stalidzane and published by Baiba Stalidzane. This book was released on 2024-10-10 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the enchanting world of "Battle of the Minds" by Baiba Stalidzane, a captivating tale unfolds, inviting readers of all ages into a realm where emotions take center stage. The story revolves around two remarkable camps, each a sanctuary for high school graduates venturing into the uncharted waters of college life, a time brimming with potent emotions. One camp houses the "good kids," grappling with the profound spectrum of positive emotions. The other shelters those trapped by negative forces, where anxiety paralyzes its young victims like a relentless specter. The narrative takes a compelling twist as these two camps clandestinely infiltrate each other's territory, igniting fiery confrontations and exposing the depths of their inner turmoil. At the heart of the story is a courageous young girl trapped by anxiety so crippling that it robs her of her voice and leaves her trembling in fear. Her journey to self-discovery is nothing short of inspiring as she uncovers the power of techniques like breathing exercises, yoga, and meditation, arming herself against the onslaught of her own emotions. Through these tools, she finds the strength to confide in a compassionate teacher who becomes a beacon of support, unveiling the transformative potential of understanding and empathy. "Battle of the Minds" masterfully weaves a tale where every character navigates their unique emotional landscape. Some, like the girl, find solace and growth, while others from the darker side of emotion face a choice – transformation or disappearance, only to re-emerge later, seeking recruits to share their torment.
