Summary

Take a culinary journey in Monet’s footsteps with this book featuring recipes and photographs from his bucolic Normandy home—forward by Meryl Streep.  Monet's Palate Cookbook brings to life Claude Monet's beloved kitchen garden at his exquisite home in Giverny, France. With sixty recipes drawn from Giverny’s farm-to-table tradition and the artist’s own cooking journals, the book explores Monet’s passion for gardening and includes detailed information about the herbs and vegetables he grew.   On his two-acre vegetable garden, Monet grew zucchini, cherry tomatoes, radishes, pearl onions, brussels sprouts, asparagus, rosemary and mint. A few of the recipes are of French origin, such as the famous Normandy apple tart. Others are from locations abroad where he traveled, such as the Savoy Hotel in London where Monet acquired their recipe for Yorkshire pudding.   Capturing Monet's lifestyle, Monet’s Palate Cookbook includes beautiful photographs by Steven Rothfeld, descriptions of the house interiors and gardens, French entertaining tips, and more.

    This adaptable instrument's origins date back centuries. Celtic legends amuse us with mystical stories describing the creation of stringed music, but practical history recounts that the modern birth of the violin occurred in Italy as early as the sixteenth century. The skilled craft of hand production was renowned in France as well, but it is the British classic type and its history that W. Meredith Morris writes about in British Violin Makers .This classic, comprehensive reference to violin making, reprinted in 1920, features a biographical dictionary of craftsmen, along with many of their signatures and marks. Twenty-six photographs of selected makers and their instruments help place the contemporary reader in the style of the period. Reverend Morris's second editionimproves upon the first 1904 edition by adding more than 150 names to the list of makers who produced six violins or more. A new foreword by music scholar Benjamin Hebbert explains the important role British violin makers played in the development of the instrument.From Morris's narrative, one gets a feel for the importance of the craftsman and his materials. He explains the various types of wood and varnish used, and how they, along with the arch and contour, work together to produce a specific tone. Speaking with fervor, the way a wine connoisseur does when describing a certain vintage, Morris compares and contrasts the quality of British instruments to that of other nations.

    Post-Impressionism is an art movement that emerged in France in the late 19th century, evolving directly from the innovations of the Impressionists but diverging significantly in both style and philosophy. While the Impressionists focused on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color in the natural world, Post-Impressionists sought to push the boundaries of art further, exploring deeper emotional expression, symbolic meaning, and new approaches to structure and form. This chapter introduces the movement, highlighting its key features, influences, and the artists who played central roles in its development. 
    The roots of Post-Impressionism lie in the revolution brought about by the Impressionist movement. The Impressionists, such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, broke away from traditional academic painting by focusing on everyday scenes and the transient quality of natural light. However, while the Impressionists were concerned with the external world, Post-Impressionist artists began to look inward, using art as a tool for personal expression. They were less concerned with capturing the exact moment or the accuracy of color as the Impressionists had been. Instead, they sought to represent emotion, the subconscious, and the subjective experience. 
    At its core, Post-Impressionism is characterized by a more expressive use of color, shape, and form. The artists of this movement began experimenting with color theories, often using vibrant hues to convey mood and emotion rather than simply reproducing the natural world. They also experimented with brushwork, texture, and abstraction, rejecting the notion that art should only represent reality in a realistic manner. Where Impressionism blurred boundaries and captured light, Post-Impressionism sought to structure and control it in new ways, emphasizing the artist’s personal vision and inner world.

    A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
     
     
     
    If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
     
     
     
    In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.

    Every hymn begins its life as a poem—and we can give our favorite hymns fresh life by returning to their poetic roots. This anthology of several centuries' worth of great hymns invites us to experience these works as devotional poetry—to slow down and savor their well-turned phrases and evocative language. English professor Leland Ryken provides some historical background for each hymn, but his focus is on literary analysis. Combined with relevant Scripture texts, the result is a wonderfully devotional and poetic study of the Christian faith.
