There's a lot more than just pictures of LEGO models, though: there are tips on how to design your own projects, how to reduce weight and maintain strength in large models, ways of creating certain effects - all sorts. That rebirth probably saved the company from extinction but it's good to see that they can mix that modern commercialism with the old enthusiast-supporting ethos with projects such as this book. I think it's great that LEGO reach out to their biggest fans in this way, instead of using people who work for the company as designers - a very different style emerges, with a somewhat old-time air to it, by which I mean prior to the rebirth of LEGO as a company that does movie tie-ins, cartoon DVDs and video games. picture frames) all designed and built by six amateur LEGO enthusiasts. Instead there heaps of pictures of different types of LEGO objects, from buildings to animals to vehicles to practical objects (e.g. There are no step-by-step instructions as you would find if you bought an off-the-shelf LEGO kit. There is lots to love about this book and nothing to dislike, so long as you accept the title: it's inspirational in intent.

For Newlands, the opening dedication is a clear example of later revision, especially given that the second book begins with a dedication to Augustus (II.3-18). Geraldine Herbert-Brown, Ovid and the Fasti), or as at certain points critical of Augustus’s regime and the brutalities of Rome’s past (e.g. Various interpretations of the Fasti see the poem as being significantly influenced by the poet’s exile, either through the updating of its encomium (e.g. Augustus died in 14 CE, and it is commonly thought that Ovid changed the dedicatee upon his demise.

Guardians of Idolatry offers readers a rare, in-depth look at the nahualtocaitl and the native cosmogonies, beliefs, and medical practices they reveal. Yet, as Viviana Díaz Balsera argues in Guardians of Idolatry, the selection process for the incantations recorded in the Treatise reflects two sites of agency: Ruiz de Alarcón’s desire to present the most flagrant examples of Nahua “demonic” practices, and Nahua efforts to share benign nahualtocaitl in order to preserve their preconquest traditions while negotiating with colonial Christian hegemony. Today this work is recognized as one of the most significant firsthand records of indigenous religious practices in postconquest Mexico. The bilingual Nahuatl-Spanish Treatise collected diverse incantations, or nahualtocaitl, used to conjure Mesoamerican deities for daily sustenance and medical activities. In 1629, Catholic priest Hernando Ruiz de Alarcón produced the Treatise on the Heathen Superstitions That Today Live among the Indians Native to This New Spain to aid the church in its abolishment of native Nahua religious practices. Scrooge then ridicules his nephew’s seasonal greetings, begrudges his clerk his half-holiday, and repulses charitable organizations, which he regards as interference with the natural “decrease the surplus population” (12).

These junctures, full of the anticipation and terror of becoming a person, are notable for their ambivalence. The preceding pages are a blur of activity, but here the world stands still. “I sensed my whole life spooling out before me,” she writes. And in Bechdel’s newest book, “ The Secret to Superhuman Strength” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), preteen Alison, poised on top of a ski slope, regards the pristine expanse of the Allegheny Plateau. The deep water is “murky” she hesitates and then, overcome by what she describes as “a sublime feeling of surrender,” jumps in, her body sinking through the darkness. “ Are You My Mother?” (2012) opens with a dream sequence, in which an older Bechdel pauses by the bank of a river. (The gastrointestinal discomfort, Bechdel writes, is “worth the moment of perfect balance.”) When Alison looks down, her father’s gaze meets hers: a mirror. “ Fun Home” (2006) begins with young Alison raised above her father, arms spread, while he holds up her stomach with socked feet. In each of Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoirs, there’s a moment, early on, when she is physically elevated-and seems to survey the sprawl of her own story below her.
But with alliances being formed, betrayals taking shape, and ruthless revenge haunting the queens’ every move, one thing is certain: the last queen standing might not be the strongest…but she may be the darkest. The two queens have been shamefully faking their powers, taking care to keep each other, the island, and their powerful sister Mirabella none the wiser. Katharine is unable to tolerate the weakest poison, and Arsinoe, no matter how hard she tries, can’t make even a weed grow. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins. And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.īut becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers.

How can we translate our discoveries into meaningful work? Albers felt that these concerns, rather than theories about form, should be the focus of art training. Albers insisted that color, as the most relative medium in art, has innumerable faces or appearances. Albers was, as his paintings and graphics reveal, profoundly sensitive to the formal relationships of things, intensely conscious that everything in the visual field exists in a context, and that every line and color affects adjacent line and colors. These four short videos, created by the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in 2012, combine audio excerpts from Josef Albers’ lecture The Logic and Magic of Color (University of South Florida, 1966) with animated plates adapted from Interaction of Color. Unlike Kandinsky’s belief in an essential association between form and color, Josef Albers theorized color’s absolute relativity. Absorbed in visual phenomena, he would point out what others had perhaps viewed cursorily but not contemplated: the shape of the Yale football stadium, the spot of light that remains for a moment when a TV set is switched off, the way a red roof could merge with a blue sky, how the color of tea deepened in a glass. His classes were peppered with analyses of such commonplace phenomena as New York City streetlights, monuments in the park, and insect anatomy. Albers’s approach relied on direct observation and self-discovery. |
