Sinopse

"Natural Pigments" explores the captivating history and science behind colorants derived from the earth. This book bridges art history and pigment chemistry, revealing how ochre, madder root, indigo, and even Tyrian purple have shaped artistic expression across cultures. 

 
It examines the extraction and preparation methods, from simple crushing to complex chemical processes, demonstrating humanity's resourcefulness in harnessing nature's bounty. Intriguingly, the use of specific pigments often reflected the economic and cultural values of societies, and some extraction methods remain remarkably consistent across centuries. 

 
The book uniquely emphasizes both the scientific and cultural dimensions of natural pigments, providing a holistic understanding through historical narratives and technical explanations. Beginning with color theory and pigment chemistry, it progresses through the origins of pigment use from prehistoric times to the Renaissance. Then the book delves into extraction and preparation, and concluding with diverse applications in art forms. 

 
The book's approach integrates archaeological findings, historical texts, and scientific analyses, offering a comprehensive and accessible account for artists, historians, and anyone fascinated by the origins of color.

    Good Morning Olive - Haunted...

    Hamlet calls death "that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns." 
     
     
     
    But he's wrong. Some do return. 
     
     
     
    Each night after the applause dies, the curtain falls, the audience vanishes, the cleaners dust, and the lights are killed, great theatres become dark and silent places. But not always quite empty. 
     
     
     
    That's when the theatre ghosts make their entrance and strut and fret their hour upon the shadowed boards, illuminated only by the ghost light, the solitary lamp that is required to burn through the night on every Broadway stage. 
     
     
     
    Many of Broadway's busiest theatres continue to be just as busily haunted by spirits, some with well-known names and histories. 
     
     
     
    Good Morning, Olive (named for one of the most beautiful and temperamental of Broadway's ghosts) is about the ghosts that haunt theatres in New York and around the world. 
     
     
     
    Broadway is the playground of stars, so it's probably not surprising to learn that even its ghosts are stars. Meet some of Broadway's best known—and most active—celebrity ghosts. Don't worry: like Casper, they tend to be friendly. For the most part.

    Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself onto our cultural consciousness. 
     
     
     
    Today, 128 years later, Vogue spans twenty-two countries, has an international print readership upwards of twelve million, and nets over sixty-seven million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognizable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment. But what—and more importantly who—made Vogue such an enduring success? 
     
     
     
    Glossy will answer this question and more by tracing the previously untold history of the magazine, from its inception as a New York gossip rag, to the sleek, corporate behemoth we know now. This will be a biography of Vogue in every sense of the word, taking the listener through three centuries, two world wars, plunging failures, and blinding successes, as it charts the story of the magazine and those who ran it.

    Carl Moellenberg's story is one of overcoming enormous obstacles and changing course to find his passion and his true self to live joyously as a long-term survivor. It is a journey of many transformations: from Midwestern boy most interested in music to a fast-paced Wall Street career; from investment banking to a 13-time Tony Award winner on Broadway; from overcoming several death-defying crises by finding healing, inspiration from a higher being, and deeper spirituality. Carl hopes that his story will inspire others who face seemingly overwhelming obstacles to find their passion, their reason to live and to find love. 
    "It's a story of inspiration, truly. Of sadness and joy, of growth and spirituality, and ultimately of acceptance. The blending of worlds, a seeming dichotomy that Carl has woven together into a spectacularly vibrant life. Reading his beautiful book has touched me deeply." —Barbara Manocherian, President of New York Stage and Film 
    It is full of heart, told with great honesty, in strong, clear, simple language. His fortitude and optimism in the face of adversity is an inspiration." —Tom Hulce, Actor/Producer 
    "Glorious, quiet power of hope throughout this beautiful, utterly relatable memoir reminds us to heed that inner ever present voice urging us onward. Exploding with simple wisdoms with those more complex matters of the heart subtly lurking between the lines." —Mary Beth O’Connor, RKO Pictures/ Lucky Viii Films 
    "Carl's willingness to be so open and vulnerable around his survivorship, his spiritual path, his artistic path, and his close friendships allows the reader a sense of honor to be included in his journey. I think this memoir can and will help people (in a universal sense) to feel less alone, and inspire them to follow themselves and their dreams." —Adam Kantor, Broadway actor
