The painting that is the cause of the problem is the only known surviving work of a 17th century Dutch woman, Sara de Vos. These are the dilemmas faced by Ellie Shipley, an Australian woman who we first meet boiling up smelly rabbit pelts for glue and grinding pigments in a mildewed, cramped Brooklyn apartment. ![]() ![]() What would you do if your Ph.D dissertation in Art History was stalled, your skills and expertise in art restoration and conservation were being overlooked, and the art-dealer from whom you often gained lucrative restoration commissions asked you to copy a valuable old painting with which you immediately fell in love?Īnd what would you do if years later, when you are a respected figure in the art world, your copy-your fake, to be precise-and the original painting were both due to arrive at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia for an important exhibition of which you are curator? ![]()

With a narrative poem, the writer is concerned about where the bullet came from and where it is going conversely, lyric poems are more concerned with where the bullet is at a specific point in time. A narrative poem is like a film or novel that is long and tells a story, whereas a lyric poem is shorter and pertains to one specific moment with consideration of that moment. To better understand the differences between the two, an analogy was drawn between the term "bullet time" and the two styles of poetry structure. Today in class we discussed the difference between the "narrative" and "lyric" styles of poetry. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Snow Falling is a sweeping historical romance set in 1902 Miami-a time of railroad tycoons, hotel booms, and exciting expansion for the Magic City.

Jane the Virgin, the Golden Globe, AFI, and Peabody Award–winning The CW dramedy, has followed Jane's telenovela-esque life-from her accidental artificial insemination and virgin birth to the infant kidnapping and murderous games of the villainous Sin Rostro to an enthralling who-will-she-choose love triangle.

Brief Summary of Book: Mission Tango (David Avivi, #1) by Charles Z. ![]() ![]() " Thought-provoking inspiration behind the lives of the women of Camelot, a must purchase."- SLJ Guinevere has been a changeling, a witch, a queen-but what does it mean to be just a girl? To undo the mistakes of the past.even if it means destroying herself. Guinevere is determined to set things right, whatever the cost. Vowing to unravel the truth of her past with or without Merlin’s help, Guinevere joins forces with the sorceress Morgana and her son, Mordred-and faces the confusing, forbidden feelings she still harbors for him. When Guinevere makes an agonizing discovery about who she is and how she came to be, she finds herself with an impossible choice: fix a terrible crime, or help prevent war. But the greatest danger isn’t what lies ahead of Guinevere-it’s what’s been buried inside her. Behind her are Lancelot, trapped on the other side of the magical barrier they created to protect Camelot, and Arthur, who has been led away from his kingdom, chasing after false promises. ![]() ![]() While journeying north toward the Dark Queen, Guinevere falls into the hands of her enemies. The gripping conclusion to the acclaimed Arthurian fantasy trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White finds Guinevere questioning everything-friends and enemies, good and evil, and, most of all, herself. ![]() ![]() Her lovers share a sameness-exquisite sensitivity, love of poetry, music-and all seem to have been especially nurturing and sensitive to her plight. ![]() ![]() This is not a novel, and Redfield is not especially adept at portraying other people. She recounts how her illness notwithstanding, she was able by dint of intelligence and personal charm to succeed professionally, travel well, dine well and, above all, love well. In “An Unquiet Mind,” Jamison describes her family and suggests the condition is hereditary. Like many others with her condition, Jamison rejected the medication until, desperate to avoid the suicidal pit of depression, she admitted to herself that the high of the manic phase was tied to the down cycle and that the price of denial could be death. She discovered that lithium could dispel her depression long before she was convinced that she was really ill and needed it to survive. The miracle drug-lithium-to which she credits her survival was not enough by itself. Jamison’s story is a paean both to drug therapy and to the devotion of those who cared enough to help her when she could not help herself. This medication has allowed Jamison to rise professionally and build a happy marriage. ![]() Jamison is able to describe these adventures because she is among the lucky majority of depressives who respond positively to lithium-a neuropharmaceutical drug. ![]() ![]() ![]() One copy of each book is available for free to any BIPOC person interested in reading the book but unable or unwilling to pay for a copy.

It charts how a radical lobby created the neoliberal economic model which dominates the world how that model was introduced from the 1970s and how it was supercharged after the Millennium through natural and deliberately manufactured ‘disasters’. Though written 15 years ago, ‘The Shock Doctrine’ still has a lot to tell us about events today. A landmark book which argues neoliberal free market policies have arisen as a deliberate strategy of ‘shock therapy’, exploiting national crises to enact questionable policies while citizens are too distracted to resist effectively. ![]() |
