This collection, which includes over three hundred of Newton's Polaroids, shows a previously unseen side of Newton's thought process (some Polaroids even have notes written on them). In this context, the Polaroid acted as an idea sketch in addition to testing the actual lighting situation and image composition." While many of these fleeting images have been lost, his wife June admits to using some as place cards at dinner parties, a collection of the remaining images has been put together into a large collection by Taschen. As he once described in an interview, this satisfied his impatient urge to want to know immediately how a certain situation would look as a photograph.

Internationally best-selling author Edward Rutherfurd has enchanted millions of readers with his sweeping, multigenerational dramas that illuminate the great achievements and travails throughout history. From the grand master of the historical novel comes a dazzling, epic portrait of the City of Light. A fascinating description of an era of cultural transition, this nineteenth-century masterpiece was to become the most influential interpretation of the Italian Renaissance, and anticipated ideas such as Nietzsche's concept of the 'Ubermensch' in its portrayal of an age of genius. In this landmark work he depicts the Italian city-states of Florence, Venice and Rome as providing the seeds of a new form of society, and traces the rise of the creative individual, from Dante to Michelangelo. For nineteenth-century Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt, the Italian Renaissance was nothing less than the beginning of the modern world - a world in which flourishing individualism and the competition for fame radically transformed science, the arts, and politics.

There are twenty chapters in this book and they are so value-packed, that I could probably do posts on each of them. It offers practical solutions for adopting and sticking with new habits that make the journey as enjoyable as the destination. While Atomic Habits does not give you a magical way to snap your fingers and have your dream life appear around you, it does the next best thing. If you tend to start and stop new initiatives before they are complete, in this post, you’ll find inspiration to help you follow through on your biggest dreams. In this book review of Atomic Habits by James Clear, I explore the role that environment plays in making our habits stick. 7/5/2023 0 Comments The matrix groffAfter a long sulk, Marie rouses herself to examine the abbey’s disastrous ledgers, mount her warhorse, and gallop forth to turn out the family most egregiously squatting on convent land. The sisters hang the traveler’s clothes in the communal privy, where “the ammonia of the piss kills the beasties”-the lice. But in the first chapter, the queen rids the court of an ungainly, rustic Marie by installing her in a remote English convent, home to 20 starving nuns. A matrix, which comes from the Latin for mother, builds implacably between Eleanor and Marie. Groff gives her a fraught, lifelong, sexually charged tie to Eleanor of Aquitaine. Seventeen years old, in the cold March drizzle, Marie who comes from France.” The inspiration is a historical figure, Marie de France, considered the first woman to write poetry in French. Set in early medieval Europe, this book paints a rousing portrait of an abbess seizing and holding power.Īfter the spicy, structurally innovative Fates and Furies (2015), Groff spins back 850 years to a girl on a horse: “She rides out of the forest alone. His other brother William Henry Leonard Poe would also become a poet before his early death, and Poe’s sister Rosalie Poe would grow up to teach penmanship at a Richmond girls’ school. The real Poe was born to traveling actors in Boston on January 19, 1809. But much of what we know about Poe is wrong, the product of a biography written by one of his enemies in an attempt to defame the author’s name. He is seen as a morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles. Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. |
