Take a journey from the distant past into a future to be imagined with this gorgeous debut picture book whose gradated pages reflect the passage of time.Hundreds of millions of years ago, land took shape. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs lived on Earth. Thousands of years ago, people built towering pyramids. Ten years ago, the landscape looked different. A month ago, it was still summer. A minute ago, the light was turned off. Now! Make a wish! What will you be doing in a week? How will you celebrate your birthday next year? What will you discover when you are older? What will hold you in awe forever? Moving inexorably from an age primeval into a future filled with questions, Johanna Schaible brings her beautiful collage artwork to an exploration of time that melds a conceptual vision with a physical one. With each page turn, the pages gradually become smaller – showing more and more borders from the past – until they reach the present moment, then grow larger again as time expands into a future full of possibilities.

(Extract from) Chapter 11 Rock bottom`Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.'(John 14:27 Nkjv)It was the morning of Sunday 21 July 1991, a warm summer's day. The wind-battered hilltop was today pleasantly bathed with a sunny glow. I was living in a Buddhist monastery, north of London, England. In bad weather it often felt like a bleak place, dotted with the wooden huts in which we lived. The huts had a temporary look about them, built above the ground, which seemed to encourage nasty gusts of chilled air to blow underneath. The trees and shrubs we had planted in the field were still very young, but were beginning to add a bit more greenery to the surroundings. We hadn't had the meal yet, but I wasn't hungry that day. I had other things on my mind. I was one of the few ordained members of the community left at the temple. Nearly everyone, including the lay people and guests staying with us, had departed early in the morning to attend an ordination ceremony at our other monastery in the south of England.

Dave Foran was a formidable man of few words, seemingly from a different era than his sensitive, literary son, Charlie. Among other adventures, Dave had lived in the bush, been snow-blinded, hauled a dead body across a frozen lake on a dog sled, dodged a bullet from a rival, and gone toe-to-toe with a bear. Aspects of his life were like tall tales while others were more somber and enigmatic: A decent father to Charlie and his siblings, and a devoted husband to Charlie''s mother, Dave was a tough, emotionally distant man, prone to gruff cynicism and a changeable mood. As Charlie writes: ''He struggled most days of his life with wounds he could not readily identify, let alone heal... Not only did my father never get over what had happened to him as a boy, he didn''t try. Men usually didn t try back then. Their families just had to deal.'' When Charlie turned 55, his father began a slow and, as it turned out, final decline. And Charlie felt something he''d never imagined before: a mysterious desire to write about his relationship with him. On the surface, the motivation was to help lift an inchoate burden from his ...

For over seventy years, the Swiss company Therma produced electric appliances ranging from irons and stoves to refrigerators and kitchens. From 1904 to 1978 the firm underwent all economic stages of a successful industrial organization: from its humble beginnings as a small family business in a Swiss alpine valley to one of Switzerland’s most significant industrial manufacturers with international reach. The company’s history coincides with the long decades of wide-ranging modernization of the Global North over the course of electrification. Therma was a company that did not simply sumbit to this process, but instead actively sought to affirm its competitive edge. Innovations in the field of electric cooking were particularly targeted at the modern housewife – through the gender roles evoked by this image, societal boundaries of the time become visible and legible. This publication offers the first comprehensive account of the history of Therma and its role in the development of industrial design from art nouveau to modernism. This exemplary history is presented in six chapters filled with a wide range of previously unpublished illustrations, including from the Therma collection in the economic archive of the Swiss Canton Glarus.

An introspective Middle Eastern fairy tale that prompts the reader to consider their connection and place in the world, from author Sahar Doustar and illustrator Daniela Tieni, whose evocative full-color art reflects illuminated Persian manuscripts. Once upon a time in Persia, there was a woman who had never seen her reflection. On her wedding day, she sees herself in a mirror for the first time and does not recognize herself. Heartbroken, she runs away, mistakenly believing another bride has taken her place. Her love desperately follows her, trying to persuade her that the reflection she saw was in fact herself. Protesting, the woman must explain to her love that her shape cannot be contained so neatly, for she is the shape of water in the lake, of the sun when it rises and sets, and of the moon when full and at crescent.

In 2011, three successful and highly educated women fell head over heels for the brilliant and charming Ethan Schuman. Unbeknownst to the others, each exchanged countless messages with Ethan, staying up late into the evenings to deepen their connections with this fascinating man.

When Graham Bean was appointed the Football Association''s first Compliance Officer, he was instantly nicknamed "The Sleazebuster" by the tabloid press and quickly made headlines investigating football wrongdoing on and off the pitch which covered everything from dissent towards match officials by players to alleged financial corruption in the boardroom by chairmen. Yet throughout his time at the English game''s governing body there was a sense that his face didn''t quite fit; as a blunt Yorkshireman and a former police detective he didn''t shirk from asking awkward questions that put him on a collision course with the powers that be and he didn''t take kindly to the "old pals" act that pervaded the FA whose ageing council members still held an iron grip on the professional game in the late 1990s. After leaving the FA Graham started his own business "Football Factors" which represented players and managers when they were summoned to appear before an FA Disciplinary Hearing. Among his stellar list of clients were Alex Ferguson, Rafa Benitez, David Moyes, Duncan Ferguson and many more and Graham''s work with Fergie in particular led to more headlines as the FA sought to silence the dominant figure in the game.
