Sinopse

In "Miss America; Pen and Camera Sketches of the American Girl," Alexander Black presents a vivid exploration of American femininity through the dual lenses of literature and photography. The book not only captures the essence of the American girl but also immerses the reader in the late 19th-century societal context, where the idealized notions of beauty and womanhood were rapidly evolving. Black's narrative style is characterized by an engaging blend of poignant prose and compelling visual imagery, reflecting both the personal experiences of American girls and the broader cultural landscape of the time. Alexander Black, an esteemed figure in early 20th-century American literature and photography, was acutely aware of the transformations occurring in society. Having experienced these changes firsthand, Black sought to document the American girl's identity, which was influenced heavily by factors such as industrialization, social reform, and the burgeoning feminist movements. His unique position as both an author and a photographer allows him to provide a multifaceted depiction of his subjects, intertwining their appearances with their stories. This book comes highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of gender studies, American history, and visual culture. It serves not only as a historical document but also as a rich narrative that invites introspection about the societal roles of women, both then and now.

    Dear Reader, 
    The Bridgertons are by far the most prolific family in the upper echelons of  
    society, both in deed and word, and now, for the first time, their most indelible  
    quips and barbs have been gathered here for your reading pleasure. 
    From Anthony’s arrogance to Hyacinth’s hijinks, the family has long been fodder  
    for society gossips … and indeed even for This Author, who has come out of  
    retirement to pen thirteen new columns, each more delicious than the last. 
    Whether the topic is love or family, courtship or competition, you may be assured  
    that the Bridgerton wit and wisdom is on full display within these pages. And  
    although a Bridgerton never passes up the opportunity to tease and torment  
    another Bridgerton, their love and devotion is never in doubt. It is why you, Dear  
    Reader, will come to understand what the rest of the ton already knows … there is  
    nothing like a Bridgerton. 
    Yours truly, 
    Lady Whistledown

    “Crank up the color,” “Landscape your living room,” and “Adult summer camp vibes” are just a handful of the mantras that drive California interior designer Raili Clasen’s eclectic surf style. Raili grew up taking two long bus rides to the beach in Orange County, CA, so that she could drink up the cool surfer fashion, laid-back atmosphere, and retro surfboard decor and bring it all right home to her bedroom. Drawing from those early days of design experimentation and a career that took her from Raisins Swimwear to Quiksilver, Roxy, and Paul Frank—Raili is known for bottling up the spirit of surf culture and spraying it joyfully all over the homes she designs. Surf Style at Home takes readers into Raili’s colorful, surf-inspired, checkerboard-printed mind through homes she’s designed — from quirky old beach cottages and an Alabama lake house to sprawling new-construction homes in Newport Beach, Montana’s Yellowstone Club, and beyond.

    It's one of modern history's most beloved sci-fi creations and while the Doctor is revered world-round, what about their companions, friends and acquaintances along the way? For all the time travel and extravagant alien worlds, Doctor Who is often at its best when it looks to you, the average viewer, and how the lives and values of us human beings are actually spectacular.
    The cup of tea or coffee we make in the morning, the relationships we carry and lose in life, the routines we love and hate, the vinegar-soaked chippies we have at night – they might look mundane against the spectacle of the Doctor but what if it's us, the humans, who are the fantastical ones?
    In We're Falling Through Space, J. David Reed investigates how Doctor Who uses its larger-than-life lens to consider how the mundane is a lot more special than we might realise. As one of the Doctors put it, 'Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.'

    “For twelve years, others have tried to tell our story. Others have tried to put into words how two ten-year-old twins came to be called the biggest pop phenomenon in the Nordics. Now it’s our turn.” 
    Sold-out concerts, prestigious awards and screaming fans were everyday life for Marcus and Martinus for many years, but just as they were about to embark on their first world tour, everything they had built came crashing down. As the Covid-19 pandemic spread, the twin brothers found themselves isolated in their hometown, forced to face their first major crisis. While the situation gave them a rare opportunity to live a normal life, one question gnawed at them: Would their audience welcome them back — this time as adult artists? 
    For the first time, Marcus and Martinus share the darker side of growing up in the spotlight, the crash that threatened to destroy everything they had worked for, and the challenges of finding their own voices after always being seen as one half of a duo. 
    Marcus & Martinus burst onto the international music scene in 2012 and have since continued to captivate audiences with their charismatic performances. With millions of followers worldwide and over a billion streams, the Norwegian duo has sold out arenas across Scandinavia. 
    Frida Söderlund is a journalist and author.
