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!

Clayton M. Christensen, the author of such business classics as The Innovator’s Dilemma and the New York Times bestseller How Will You Measure Your Life, and co-authors Efosa Ojomo and Karen Dillon reveal why so many investments in economic development fail to generate sustainable prosperity, and offers a groundbreaking solution for true and lasting change.Global poverty is one of the world’s most vexing problems. For decades, we’ve assumed smart, well-intentioned people will eventually be able to change the economic trajectory of poor countries. From education to healthcare, infrastructure to eradicating corruption, too many solutions rely on trial and error. Essentially, the plan is often to identify areas that need help, flood them with resources, and hope to see change over time.But hope is not an effective strategy.Clayton M. Christensen and his co-authors reveal a paradox at the heart of our approach to solving poverty. While noble, our current solutions are not producing consistent results, and in some cases, have exacerbated the problem. At least twenty countries that have received billions of dollars’ worth of aid are poorer now.Applying the rigorous and theory-driven analysis he is known for, Christensen suggests a better way. The right kind of innovation not only builds companies—but also builds countries. The Prosperity Paradox identifies the limits of common economic development models, which tend to be top-down efforts, and offers a new framework for economic growth based on entrepreneurship and market-creating innovation. Christensen, Ojomo, and Dillon use successful examples from America’s own economic development, including Ford, Eastman Kodak, and Singer Sewing Machines, and shows how similar models have worked in other regions such as Japan, South Korea, Nigeria, Rwanda, India, Argentina, and Mexico.The ideas in this book will help companies desperate for real, long-term growth see actual, sustainable progress where they’ve failed before. But The Prosperity Paradox is more than a business book; it is a call to action for anyone who wants a fresh take for making the world a better and more prosperous place.

Part of the Hero Classics series“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”Douglass cultivated himself to such an extent that the listeners of his lectures doubted if his narratives were true. His autobiography is both a compelling tale of a slave and a contribution to the public discourse on slavery. His language is poetic and precise honed in its simplicity as if something artificially put together but immensely natural at the same time. Opening this book is opening the door into Douglass s consciousness and tracking his inner journey of finding himself in the world: a story of his childhood and youth – a long and laborious path to freedom. Douglass talks about the explicit punishments and tortures that slaves were exposed to. Despite the suffering, he emphasizes the power of self-education and continuous resistance that pushes one to fight their predicament. The publication of this book was such an unprecedented event that the author had to leave the US for Europe for about two years. The fact that Douglass s experience and meditations were issued in print gave him a wider audience, not restricting dissemination of his beliefs to those who could physically come to his public speeches.The Hero Classics series: Meditations The Prophet A Room of One’s Own Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl The Art of War The Life of Charlotte Bronte The Republic The Prince Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave

A brief yet elegant excursion into the nature and execution of creativity Clemency Burton-Hill, Financial Times A wonderfully sensitive and probing meditation on the writing of words and music Rolf Hind, composer and pianistWhat lies behind the creation of a piece of music? Does it spring fully formed from a composerâ ™s mind, or take shape in the recesses of the brain, revealing itself in stages over time? Is the creative act deliberate or happenstance? An inspired vision or the result of practice?Will Eaves, author and musician, shares his experience of writing eight new piano pieces after many years away from the keyboard. Some of the music is found in old notebooks and teenage enthusiasms, some of it is caught on the wing â “ a response to the resurgence of the natural world during COVID lockdown. None of it is what he is meant to be doing.But then not all artistic interests are primary or professional interests. Sometimes itâ ™s the second-string activities, the diversions, that bring work â “ and life â “ into focus.The Point of Distraction is a unique account of music-making that embraces Bach, film, jazz, literature, neuroscience and the mystery of will power in its search for meaning. At its heart is a love of skill, an openness to self-doubt, and a belief that we are all more than our declared aims.
