KJV Cameo Reference Bible, Brown Calfskin Leather, Red-letter Text, KJ455:XR Brown Calfskin Leather Cambridge University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The Cameo Edition is a classic Cambridge typesetting of the King James Version, originally produced in the 1920s for letterpress printing. It has been widely admired by generations of readers for its solution to the Bible designer's dilemma of readable type in a manageable size. Unavailable for a while, the Cameo Reference Edition is re-issued in response to continued consumer interest, in a new range of binding styles. The reissue has offered an opportunity for the print image to be enhanced, so while the text is presented in same familiar layout and the original Petit Medieval Clarendon type, it is now sharper than in printings of recent years. The Bible comes with a concordance and 15 colour maps. The text has pronunciation marks for names and the words of Christ on earth are printed in red. This edition is printed on India paper with art-gilt edges, includes a presentation page and two ribbon markers and is bound in brown calfskin leather.

Harvardzki poradnik skutecznego uczenia sie Pax

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Wiele znanych regul dotyczacych uczenia sie, a takze rutynowo stosowanych cwiczen okazuje sie przynosic efekt przeciwny do zamierzonego. Podkreslanie i zakreslanie w tekscie, wielokrotna lektura, wkuwanie i jednokierunkowe powtarzanie nowo wyuczonych umiejetnosci stwarzaja zludzenie, ze osiagnelismy mistrzostwo, ale korzysci z nich plynace szybko gina w naszej pamieci. Bardziej zlozone i trwalsze opanowanie materialu jest natomiast rezultatem robienia sobie testow sprawdzajacych, wprowadzania pewnych utrudnien do cwiczen, odczekiwania z kolejna powtorka nowego materialu, dopoki nie zaczniemy go troche zapominac, oraz przemieszania cwiczen dotyczacych jednego tematu czy jednej umiejetnosci z innymi. Ten skierowany przede wszystkim do uczniow, studentow, nauczycieli i sportowcow poradnik okaze sie niezwykle pomocny takze dla wszystkich tych, ktorzy pragna podjac wyzwanie uczenia sie przez cale zycie. W akademickim wydawnictwie Harvard University Press rzadko ukazuja sie ksiazki o charakterze poradnikowym, adresowane do szerszej publicznosci czytelniczej. Wyjatek, jaki uczyniono dla tego tytulu, swiadczy najlepiej o jego walorach dla coraz bardziej skomplikowanego procesu edukacji.

Pierre Puvis de Chavannes Yale University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Understanding Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898) is crucial to reading the history of art of the late nineteenth century and the development of modernism. Internationally heralded yet sometimes scorned, much exhibited, respected and emulated, an artist's artist of pivotal importance to the generation of post-Impressionists from Seurat and Gauguin to Matisse and Picasso, Puvis' work is not readily categorized. Often associated with classicizing imagery, he was an artist of great range, originality and radically idiosyncratic invention. He executed great mural complexes, compelling easel paintings and numerous works on paper that included lyrical watercolours, pastels and fierce caricatures. Presented in two complementary volumes - a critical study of the artist's life and art and a catalogue raisonne of his painted work - this book introduces many of his works for the first time, assesses his contribution and restores him to the pantheon of modern masters.Volume I situates Puvis and his work in his time.With a wealth of new documentation, unpublished correspondence and images, Aimee Brown Price addresses the theories, forces and events that impinged on his art, as well as examining the work of his progenitors, contemporaries and followers. She contextualizes his themes, the development of his special decorative aesthetic - and its importance in establishing a new kind of imagery - and his modernized allegorical figures; and she discusses such topics as his atelier and teaching, the marketing of his work and his role in the art establishment of the 1890s.Volume II is a complete compendium of Puvis' easel paintings and mural cycles for civic buildings throughout France as well as the for Boston Public Library. Each work is analysed in terms of its genesis, distinct iconography, and style. A revised dating of the several versions of some of Puvis' best-known paintings indicates heretofore unrecognized late reprisals and offers a new index to the evolution of his style.

Move. Choreographing You MIT Press Ltd

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Move. Choreographing You explores the interaction between visual art and dance since the 1960s. This beautifully illustrated book, published in connection with a major exhibition, focuses on visual artists and choreographers who create sculptures and installations that direct the movements of audiences--making them dancers and active participants. Move shows that choreography is not merely about the notation of movement on paper or in film but about the ways the body inhabits sculpture and installations. The book documents some of the diverse but interconnected ways that visual art and choreography have come together over the past fifty years. Among the artists whose work helped to forge the art-dance connection are Allan Kaprow, Robert Morris, Lygia Clark, Bruce Nauman, Trisha Brown, Simone Forti, Franz West, Mike Kelley, Isaac Julien, and William Forsythe. Artists from a younger generation who helped to bring the worlds of art and dance together are also looked at--Trisha Donnelly, Christian Jankowski, and Tino Sehgal among them.Move also features new commissions by leading international artists and reconstructions of important works from the past as well as an illustrated contextual archive and timeline.

Gems and Gemstones The University of Chicago Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Gems are objects of wealth, icons of beauty, and emblems of the very best of everything. Given as tokens of love and affection, they also come in a kaleidoscopic array of hues and can be either mineral or organic. Gems can command a person's gaze in the way they play with light and express rich color. And they can evoke feelings of passion, greed, mystery, and warmth. For millennia, gems have played an important role in human culture: they have significant value, both financially and within folklore and mythology. But just what are gems, exactly? This lavishly illustrated volume - the most ambitious publication of its kind - provides a general introduction to gems and natural gemstones, conveying their timeless beauty and exploring similarities among different species and varieties. "Gems and Gemstones" features nearly three hundred color images of the cut gems, precious and semiprecious stones, gem-quality mineral specimens, and fine jewelry to be unveiled in the new Grainger Hall of Gems at the Field Museum in Chicago this October.The book and exhibition's overarching theme will be the relationship between finished gems and their natural origin: while beautiful as faceted and polished pieces of jewelry, gems are often just as lovely - or even more so - as gemstones in their natural state. For example, an aquamarine or emerald as originally found in a mine with its natural crystal faces can be as stunning as any cut and polished gem prepared for a ring, bracelet, or charm. Mindful of both ancient and modern times, "Gems and Gemstones" also includes fun-filled facts and anecdotes that broaden the historical portrait of each specimen. When Harry Winston, for instance, donated the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian in 1958, he sent it through the U.S. mail wrapped in plain brown paper. And for anyone who has ever marveled at the innovations of top jewelry designers, "Gems and Gemstones" features a dazzling array of polished stones, gold objects, and creations from around the world. Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, amethysts, pearls, topaz, amber - every major gem gets its due in this invaluable reference.
