Vermeer's Hat: The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brook, Timothy, PUBLISHER: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, "Elegant and quietly important...Brook does more than merely sketch the beginnings of globalization and highlight the forces that brought our modern world into being; rather, he offers a timely reminder of humanity's interdependence."--"Seattle Times "A painting shows a military officer in a Dutch sitting room, talking to a laughing girl. I n another, a woman at a window weighs pieces of silver. Vermeer's images captivate us with their beauty and mystery: What stories lie behind these stunningly rendered moments?

Moving outward from Vermeer's studio, Brook traces the web of trade that was spreading across the globe.

Telling the Bees

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hesketh, Peggy, PUBLISHER: Putnam Adult, With echoes of The Remains of the Day, an elderly beekeeper looks back on his quiet life, and the secrets of a woman he never truly knew. Albert Honig's most constant companions have always been his bees. A never-married octogenarian, he makes a modest living as a beekeeper, as his father and his father's father did before him. Deeply acquainted with the workings of the hives, Albert is less versed in the ways of people, especially his friend Claire, whose presence and absence in his life have never been reconciled. When Claire is killed in a seemingly senseless accident during a burglary gone wrong, Albert is haunted by the loss, and by the secrets and silence that hovered between them for so long. As he pieces together the memories of their shared history, he will come to learn the painful truths about Claire's life, and the redemptive power of laying the past to rest.

Museum of London - Talking Guide

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Richardson, Miranda / Scala Publishers, PUBLISHER: Scala Publishers, The Museum of London exists to inspire a passion for London. As the single most important source of knowledge on the nation's capital, it is uniquely both a national and local museum. Over a million objects are held in the Museum's stores, cared for by curators and conservators who are all leaders in their field. This, the official guide to the Museum of London and the first of the Scala Talking Guides, covers all aspects of social, cultural and political life in London from the first prehistoric settlements, right up to its present position as a financial and artistic world city. By selecting significant pieces of ceramics, jewellery, paintings, photographs, printed ephemera, sculpture and a range of commercial, industrial and domestic items from the entire collection, this book conveys the sheer size and variety of the Museum's holdings. With specially commissioned colour photographs and monochrome archival prints, it dramatically displays every aspect of London life.

The Ecological Theater and the Evolutionary Play

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hutchinson, G. Evelyn, PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, In the three lectures which give their title to this delightful collection of esays, the author of "The Enchanted Voyage" and "The Itinerate Ivory Tower" turns his attention to the influence of the environment on the course of evolution. The first lecture considers the nature of the terrestrial biosphere, both as a unique phenomenon on earth and as one of a class of possible spaces on other bodies; the second examines the nature of the ecological niche; and the third discusses some of the possible environmental interactions of a single species, emphasis being placed on the extremely recondite nature of the selective forces that act on man, as on other animals. Another of the pieces deals with the problem of the relation of natural beauty to works of art, particularly in the context of the similarities and differences apparent when natural history museums and art galleries are compared. The final essay, "The Cream in the Gooseberry Fool," is an account of the role of an English country clergyman and of the European magpie most in one of the most significant early discoveries of genetics.

The Orvis Pocket Guide to Fly Fishing for Stillwater Trout:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lepage, Jim / Jacobus, Dann, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, Readily accessible to most fly anglers and often producing fish of trophy proportions, stillwaters are among the most productive, but also the most challenging, trout waters in which to wet a line. Ponds and lakes undergo many moods and changes throughout the year. Fishing them requires in-depth knowledge of how and where trout feed in stillwaters in the different seasons, as well as the proper equipment, techniques, and fly patterns necessary to insure consistent success under changing circumstances. In "The Orvis Pocket Guide to Fly Fishing for Stillwater Trout," Jim Lepage, longtime tackle designer, fly tyer, and stillwater expert, demystifies the challenges of lakes and ponds, which can seem huge and overwhelming until you know how to approach them correctly. In a concise and down-to-earth style, Lepage covers fly rods suitable for stillwaters; sinking, floating, and specialty fly lines and when to use each; how to choose leaders and tippet materials wisely; and explains why sunglasses may be one of your most important pieces of equipment.

Lost Memoirs of Edgar Cayce: Life as a Seer

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cayce, Edgar / Smith, A. Robert, PUBLISHER: A.R.E. Press (Association of Research & Enlig, The Edgar Cayce Story is one of the most compelling and inspiring that we have. For more than forty years, the "sleeping prophet" would close his eyes, enter an altered state of consciousness, and speak to the very heart and spirit of humanity on subjects such as health, dreams, prophecy, meditation, and reincarnation. Recently, a great number of Cayce's papers were rediscovered in which Cayce had sought to set down his reminiscences. A. Robert Smith, who found the papers, discovered -- to his astonishment -- that while Cayce had never written a continuous chronicle, he had covered most of the episodes, which Smith was then able to put together like the pieces of a giant puzzle. The picture that emerges is a virtually complete likeness of one of the great spiritual figures of our century. People who knew Edgar Cayce personally say that he really comes alive in these pages. His "autobiography" will hold you spellbound and leave you in wonder at the potential of humankind.

Awful Green Stuff and the Nakedness of Trees

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lerrigo-Leidich, Harriette, PUBLISHER: Rutledge Books, Harriette Lerrigo-Leidich literally grew up with printer's ink on her hands. The daughter of a Nebraska newspaperman, she began her career as a columnist when she was fourteen, nearly seventy-five years ago. She continues to engage readers with a marvelously evocative, distinctive voice that combines the warm friendliness of your favorite neighbor with the keen perception of a seasoned journalist. Awful Green Stuff and the Nakedness of Trees is a collection of articles that explores the author's rich memories of the past to give meaningful insights into the puzzling complexities of contemporary society. In these homespun, but sharply observant pieces we are taken back to a time in small town America when the general store was the lively information center of the community, a sliver of an alligator pear was an exotic delicacy, and a young girl's first flight in an airplane was a magically exhilarating experience. Though the clacking typewriters and the rumbling printing presses of a bygone era have been replaced with quietly humming computers, the thoughtful, deliciously droll stories told here remind us that the things that really count in life are timeless.

Fame (Firstborn Series-Baxter 2, Book 1)

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Karen Kingsbury, PUBLISHER: Tyndale House Publishers, #1 "New York Times #1 "Wall Street Journal #1 "Los Angeles Times #1 "Entertainment Weekly #1 "Publishers Weekly Stephanie Plum is thinking her career as a fugitive apprehension agent has run its course. She's been shot at, spat at, cussed at, fire-bombed, mooned, and attacked by dogs. Time for a change, Stephanie thinks. Time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross. So Stephanie Plum quits. Resigns. No looking back. No changing her mind. She wants something safe and normal. As it turns out, jobs that are safe and normal for most people aren't necessarily safe and normal for Stephanie Plum. Trouble follows her, and the kind of trouble she had at the bail bonds office can't compare to the kind of trouble she finds herself facing now. Her past has come back to haunt her. She's stalked by a maniac returned from the grave for the sole purpose of putting her into a burial plot of her own. He's killed before, and he'll kill again if given the chance. Caught between staying far away from the bounty hunter business and staying alive, Stephanie reexamines her life and the possibility that being a bounty hunter is the solution rather than the problem. After disturbingly brief careers at the button factory, Kan Klean Dry Cleaners, and Cluck-in-a-Bucket, Stephanie takes an office position in security, working for Ranger, the sexiest, baddest bounty hunter and businessman on two continents. It might not be the job she'll keep for the rest of her life, but for now it gives her the technical access she needs to find her stalker. Tempers and temperatures rise as competition ratchets up between the two men in her life---heron-again, off-again boyfriend, tough Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and her bad-ass boss, Ranger. Can Stephanie Plum take the heat? Can you? Between the adventure and the adversity there's attitude, and Stephanie Plum's got plenty in her newest misadventure, "Eleven on Top.

Lord of the Rings Statue 1/6 Royal Guard of Rohan 37 cm

Calling upon those who dwelt upon the plains in scattered hamlets, farms and outlying villages, the kingdom of Rohan could muster a grand army of riders in times of great need, but few among the defenders bore arms every day.Farmers, herders, trade and craftsmen, most led lives of quiet, tending to their work to feed their families. Yet even in times of peace and plenty the kings of Rohan also maintained a standing force of dedicated royal guards to protect the throne and other vital sites within the realm.Unlike the plainsmen, who brought and cared for their own arms when called, Rohan,s royal guards were provisioned by the king and wore uniforms marking their station. Standing at attention outside the Golden Hall, they were clad in hauberks of scaled mail, with girded swords, broad pauldrons, cloaks of royal green, and tall helms that gleamed beneath a bright sky.Rohan Royal Guard is brought to you by sculptor Gary Hunt, an accomplished artist who is one of Weta Workshop,s longest-serving crew members, being part of the original Lord of the Rings crew.Product size: 27 x 37 x 17 cmLimited to 375 pieces.
