365 Days of Drawing People - Lise Herzog
Author of 365 Days of Drawing. Lise Herzog is an accomplished teacher of pen and pencil skills. Her first work with Firefly is notable for the thoroughness of its easy lessons, progressing from a few simple lines to shading and texture... over 365 days. When it comes to drawing, practice makes perfect. In 365 Days of Drawing People, Herzog shows how, with a few strokes of the pencil, you can make a simple likeness of infant, toddler, young adult and older people -- people with work and age lines in their faces. And progressively, through the year, make more complex drawings of hands and limbs, faces and hair, and have multiple perspectives of the same person, or drawings of bodies in motion. Each drawing is shown in black on the page, but the days of the year and title of the drawing are in 4-color, so that the book is a lively and inspiring presentation. Better still, like the original 365 Days of Drawing, this new book is very thick, and quarter-bound in real cloth, looking like a real traditional artist s notebook or sketchpad. This feature has been a notable factor in the success of the original book -- despite its modest retail price, it looks like a million!

365 Days of Drawing - Lise Herzog
A year of easy to progressively harder daily challenges to learn the fundamentals of drawing. You want to learn to draw. You know you have to practice. Every day. But it is that blank sheet of paper that sets off the what do I draw? and I don t know how to draw it! panic. That is where 365 Days of Drawing comes in. There is a step-by-step drawing exercise for every day of the year. Each shows the steps from the first line to the last and a brief text explains the steps. You can move through the book front to back or pick and choose. All 365 drawings start with one shape or line -- a circle, an oval, a square, a rectangle, a curved line, a straight line -- upon which the object or person is built. By mixing these basic strokes anything is achievable. The reader can add perspective to go from two- to three-dimensions: create volume turning a square into a box, add depth turning a circle into a cylinder, create distance making railway tracks disappear. A one-quarter view of a box is different than from the front, and an open box even more different. Facial features can be a beginning drawer s nightmare but not if you know the lines of halves and thirds on which all faces are drawn. At the same time, you will learn anatomy and what goes where when someone is walking, bowling, sleeping, or more. In all, there are more than 50 drawings of people in various poses. The variety is impressive just by using the basic shapes and lines: all straight lines for a xylophone, an Egyptian pyramid, a house all curved lines for a rhinoceros, a high-heeled shoe, a crying baby curved lines mixed with straight lines for a jetliner, a city center, a tennis racket. With its abundance of approachable drawings as well as loads of tips, instruction and inspiration, 365 Days of Drawing will have even the most artistically challenged mastering the art of drawing. Those with experience can use daily challenges to polish their skills.

But nobody actually reads them, and frustrated by writer’s block, Hannah has the feeling that she’s doing something wrong. When she expresses her contempt for genre fiction, Hanna is publicly challenged to write a crime novel in thirty days. Scared that she will lose face, she accepts, and her editor sends her to Húsafjöður – a quiet, tight-knit village in Iceland, filled with colourful local characters – for inspiration. But two days after her arrival, the body of a fisherman’s young son is pulled from the water … and what begins as a search for plot material quickly turns into a messy and dangerous investigation that threatens to uncover secrets that put everything at risk … including Hannah… Atmospheric, dramatic and full of nerve-jangling twists and turns, Thirty Days of Darkness is a darkly funny, unsettling debut Nordic Noir thriller that marks the start of a breath-taking new series. ____________________________________ ‘Dark and atmospheric … a bleak and beautiful evocation of Iceland, and Hannah is a pitch-perfect depiction of the bombastic neurosis that we writers know so very well’ Harriet Tyce ‘Such a clever, original twist on the Nordic Noir tradition – darkly humorous and utterly captivating’ Eva Björg Ægisdóttir ‘A fantastic debut … Darkly funny, tense and a lot of poking fun at crime-writing’ Tariq Ashkanani ‘Delightfully dark’ Antti Tuomainen ‘So atmospheric’ Crime Monthly ‘An absolute gem … a superb mix of humour and dark, twisty crime fiction with an added layer of contemplation regarding what makes books #39;literary #39;.

The Last Days of Hitler - Hugh Trevor-Roper
Listed as one of the Guardian s 100 Best Nonfiction Books of All Time. In September 1945 the fate of Adolf Hitler was a complete mystery. He had simply disappeared, and had been missing for four months. Hugh Trevor-Roper, an intelligence officer, was given the task of solving the mystery. His brilliant piece of detective work not only proved finally that Hitler had killed himself in Berlin, but also produced one of the most fascinating history books ever written. The Last Days of Hitler tells the extraordinary story of those last days of the Thousand Year Reich in the Berlin Bunker. Besieged in the shattered capital, but still dominating the remains of his court, Hitler reiterated the original alternative of Nazism: either total victory or annihilation. This book is the record of that carefully prepared, ceremonious finale to a terrible chapter of history. Brilliantly written and researched, The Last Days of Hitler remains the most vivid account of the final Wagnerian chapter of Hitler s tyranny â “ Max Hastings This is an incomparable book, by far the best written on any aspect of the second German war: a book sound in scholarship, brilliant in its presentation . . . No words of praise are too strong. â “ A. J. P. Taylor, New Statesman

No Such Army Since the Days of Julius Caesar
The final days of the Confederacy saw a kaleidoscope of action in the Eastern Theater, with most Civil War historians focusing on the imminent demise of the Army of Northern Virginia. However, to both Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, it was the inexorable advance of the Union armies up through the Carolinas in the spring of 1865 that dictated their final moves.William Tecumseh Shermanâ ™s Carolinas campaign has long been overshadowed by the events in Virginia, even as the Confederates recognized it as the crucial, war-winning blow, and pitted a luminous array of their best generalsâ ”Johnston, Hardee, Hampton, A. P. Stewart, D. H. Hill, and othersâ ”against it. In this work, career military officers Mark A. Smith and Wade Sokolosky rectify the oversight with â œNo Such Army Since the Days of Julius Caesar,â a careful and impartial examination of Shermanâ ™s advance up the seaboard now in paperback.After his largely unopposed â œMarch to the Sea,â in March 1865 Sherman struck off again north, aiming to unite with Grant and crush Lee between them. The Confederacy in the Carolinas, however, was not yet finished. While Sherman rampaged through South Carolina, Confederate authorities gathered forces to resist him in its northern neighboring state.In North Carolina, the Rebels conceded their vast arsenal at Fayetteville, which the Federals destroyed, but under General Hardee prepared to receive Shermanâ ™s host in the narrow corridor between the Black and Cape Fear rivers at Averasboro. With a number of untried units (former coastal battalions) plus a scattering of veterans in Lafayette McLawsâ ™ division and Joe Wheelerâ ™s cavalry, Hardee created a defense-in-depth reminiscent of four-score years earlier at the battle of Cowpens.At Averasboro, described here in intimate detail, Hardee arrayed his disparate forces into three lines that nearly fought Shermanâ ™s veterans to a standstill until a flank attack won the day for the Union.Strategically, along with Braxton Braggâ ™s command fighting off a Union thrust from the coast, the battle of Averasboro provided time for Joe Johnston to assemble his forces and contest Shermanâ ™s advance at Bentonville. Without Averasboro, there would have been no Bentonville.Meticulously researched and gracefully written, â œNo Such Armyâ explores a long-overlooked clash that had consequences beyond the gallant sacrifices of the men, who by then on both sides knew that the war was approaching its culmination.

Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt - Joe Sacco, Chris Hedges
Named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon.com and the Washington Post Three years ago, Pulitzer Prize-winner Chris Hedges and award-winning cartoonist and journalist Joe Sacco set out to take a look at the sacrifice zones, those areas in America that have been offered up for exploitation in the name of profit, progress, and technological advancement. They wanted to show in words and drawings what life looks like in places where the marketplace rules without constraints, where human beings and the natural world are used and then discarded to maximize profit. Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt is the searing account of their travels.

The Last Days of the Dinosaurs - Riley Black
Some 66 million years ago, an asteroid some seven miles across slammed into the Earth, leaving a geologic wound over 50 miles in diameter. In the terrible mass extinction that followed, more than half of known species vanish seemingly overnight. But this worst single day in the history of life of Earth was as critical for us as it was for the dinosaurs, as it allowed for evolutionary opportunities that were closed for the previous 100 million years. In The Last Days of the Dinosaurs, Riley Black walks readers through what happened in the days, the years, the centuries and the million years after the impact. Lifeâ ™s losses were sharp and deeply felt, but the hope carried by the beings that survived sets the stage for the world as we know it now.

In the Days of the Comet - Herbert George Wells
In H. G. Wells science fiction book In the Days of the Comet (1906), when a comet forces the nitrogen of the air, the ancient azote, to transform out of itself, mankind is exalted. As a result, there is peace on earth and goodwill toward all people. Our atmosphere is one of happiness and beauty.The prologue and epilogue of The Man Who Wrote in the Tower are written by an unidentified narrator. In Book I, William ( Willie ) Leadford, who was third in the office staff of Rawdon s pot-bank [a facility where pottery is created] in Clayton, leaves his employment at the same moment that industrial Britain is devastated by a slump brought on by American dumping. Leadford, who was converted to socialism by his friend Parload, attributes his miserable living situation on racial injustice. The exact date of the incident is unknown.Leadford awakens at the beginning of Book II, when he is intensely aware of the beauty in the world and has a kind and giving attitude toward other people. Verrall, Leadford, and Nettie have a passionate conversation about their futures at the start of Book III. By her uncomfortable awareness of significant moral inequalities, the author is worried.

Twenty Five Thousand Days of Memories - Martin Rajniš, Magdalena Šebestová
Architekt, profesor a autor mnoha odborných publikací M. Rajniš se rozhodl sepsat vzpomínky ze svého života plného cestování, netradičních zvratů, úspěchů i pádů. Jako buřič a provokatér, který si celý život razí svojí cestu, chce čtenáři ukázat, že i člověk, nýmand, kterého málem strčili do pomocné školy, může žít bezvadný život. Přál bych si, aby se čtenář při mým vyprávění odvázal, začal mluvit slangem a vychutnal si krásně vyslovený český nadávky, který se skví jako pralinka na dortu. Prof. Ing. arch. Martin Rajniš (* 16. května 1944, Praha) je český architekt a urbanista, spoluzakladatel České komory architektů, několika architektonických kanceláří a zakladatel ateliéru Huť Architektury. Jako pedagog působil na VŠUP v Praze a na Technické univerzitě v Liberci. Je známý především jako autor nové Poštovny na Sněžce nebo Majáku a muzea Járy Cimrmana v Jizerských horách. Věnuje se experimentální architektuře a vztahu architektury k přírodě a k lidské společnosti. Martin Rajniš o knize… Skutečně mám dobrou paměť a už řadu let mě připadalo potřebný podělit se o příběhy, který jsem za posledních 70 let zažil. Osud mi do cesty přihrál milý stvoření, Magdu (Křížkovou) Šebestovou, která mý košatý zhruba, 100 hodinový vyprávění převedla do 900 stran textu, z kterejch posléze vznikl na 120 stranách týhle knihy koncentrovanej elixír toho, podle nás, nejlepšího. Myslím, že čtenáře budou bavit i krásný fotky, mimo jiný i z mejch četnejch exotických cest, kterých tam bude víc než stovka. Dílo se jmenuje 25 344 dnů vzpomínek, což vystihuje 71 let mého života, během něhož jsem toho zažil skutečně hodně - dětství ve staré Praze s nejrůznějšími výchovnými experimenty svého otce, časy chudoby a vzdoru proti bolševikovi, byl jsem dvanáctkrát v kriminále. Strávil jsem čtyři roky na moři, přeplul na malé lodi s jednou krásnou holkou Atlantik. Projezdil jsem stovky tisíc kilometrů po pouštích, divočinách, pralesech, projel jsem horní toky Amazonky, byl jsem v nejzapadlejších koutech Nové Guiney. Ale zároveň jsem řídil jako architekt velké ateliéry a rukama mi prošlo ve stavebních nákladech skoro 14 miliard korun. Zažil jsem Paříž coby bezdomovec i jako nositel světové ceny za architekturu… Spolupráce s Magdou (Křížkovou) Šebestovou Magdu jsem poznal koncem sedmdesátých let, když jsme v době třeskutýho bolševizmu dělali pavilon na výstavu do Kanady - já jako mladej architekt a ona jako hosteska. Pamatoval jsem si ji ještě z doby, kdy jako malá holka zpívala s Jiřím Suchým v Semaforu. Potom jsme se dlouhý roky neviděli a až při rozhovoru pro Xantypu kterej se mnou přišla udělat,jsem si uvědomil, jak se umí ptát, jak se umí bezvadně tvářit a hlavně jak skvěle umí psát… tak jsem jí nabídl, že bychom spolu mohli zkusit to moje vzpomínání napsat a ona, zaplať pánbůh, kývla... 25000 Twenty Five Thousand Days of Memories Prof. Ing. arch. Martin Rajniš (* 16 May 1944, Prague) is a Czech architect and urban designer, co-founder of the Czech Chamber of Architects and several architectural studios, and personal founder of the atelier Architecture Guild.

Martin Rajniš about the book: … Really, I have a good memory and for many years now I ve felt a need to share the stories that I ve experience over the past 70 years. Fate brought across my path one lovely being, Magda (Křížková) Šebestová, who transferred my digressive 100 or so hours of storytelling into 900 pages of text, out of which she then formed into the 120 pages of this book a concentrated elixir of what, in our eyes, was the best.
