Beschreibung

In "Italian Days and Ways," Anne Hollingsworth Wharton embarks on a vivid journey through Italy, offering readers an immersive exploration of the culture, people, and the landscapes that define this iconic country. Wharton's prose is rich and lyrical, blending the observational rigor of travel writing with the intimate tone of personal memoir. Through meticulous attention to detail and a keen appreciation for the nuances of Italian life, she captures both the timeless traditions and the vibrant modernity coexisting in Italy's cities and countryside, all within the context of an early 20th-century worldview. Anne Hollingsworth Wharton, an American author and poet, spent significant time in Italy, where her fascination with art and culture deepened. Born into a family of distinguished literary and artistic figures, Wharton's experiences in Europe profoundly influenced her writing. Her literary background and personal connections to the Italian arts community provide an authenticity and depth to her observations, revealing the complexities of a society at the intersection of history and modernity. "Italian Days and Ways" is highly recommended for readers seeking to understand Italy beyond mere tourist attractions. Wharton'Äôs insightful commentary and evocative descriptions invite readers to experience the soul of Italy, making this work not only a delightful travelogue but also a compelling cultural study.

    There Is Life After the Nobel Prize

    One day in 1996, the neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel took a call from his program officer at the National Institute of Mental Health, who informed him that he had been awarded a key grant. Also, the officer said, he and his colleagues thought Kandel would win the Nobel Prize. "I hope not soon," Kandel's wife, Denise, said when she heard this. Sociologists had found that Nobel Prize winners often did not contribute much more to science, she explained. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Kandel recounts his remarkable career since receiving the Nobel in 2000—or his experience of proving to his wife that he was not yet "completely dead intellectually." Kandel relates how the Nobel Prize gave him the opportunity to reach a far larger audience, which in turn allowed him to discover and pursue new directions. He describes his efforts to promote public understanding of science and to put brain science and art into conversation with each other. Kandel also discusses his return to Austria, which he had fled as a child, and observes Austria's coming to terms with the Nazi period. Showcasing Kandel's accomplishments, erudition, and wit, There Is Life After the Nobel Prize is a candid account of the working life of an acclaimed scientist.

    This book is not for the faint of heart.
     
    Drugs, gangs, and violence form the backdrop of this gripping tale that follows a young girl caught at crossroads of her life. On the cusp of her twenties, with adulthood looming just ahead, she discovers just how much a detour can derail someone’s path. As our heroine faces multiple 
    challenges and navigates through unexpected events at every turn, life unfolds before her eyes in mysterious and unpredictable ways.
     
    Set in the 1990s, when grunge was at its dirtiest and hard rock blackened the ears and clothes of youth, this story follows suit with its own dark and grime soundtrack. Before the age of the internet and fast revolutions, this narrative takes on a much slower pace, sauntering through simpler days. Told as truthfully as possible with much grit and humility, this book is written for the underdogs, for the broken, and for those who get knocked down but never give up; for those who crawled their way out of the belly of Hell and for those we loved so dearly who died trying.

    Songbook - The Lyrics and Music...

    From the award-winning, multi-genre author and musician Steven Heighton, Songbook brings together Heighton’s lyrics and music for the first time in a single volume, including his final songs, which have never been heard or seen until now. When Steven Heighton died suddenly of cancer in 2022, he was in the middle of an intensely creative period of songwriting. He released his first album of original material, The Devil’s Share, in 2021 and was preparing to record his second album. Known first as a poet, Heighton had always held that “music and poetry are two words for the same thing.”
    		 
    As in his songwriting, in Songbook, Heighton moves fluidly between genres and subjects, from political songs like “The Butcher’s Bill,” about the carelessness of nations sending their youth to war, to reimagining the myth of Orpheus (“I'll hold my breath the whole way down / And find your soul in the undertown”), to blues tunes like “Last Living Woman Alive,” and a tribute to the late John Prine, the “Buddha of Song.” With chords accompanying the lyrics, readers and musicians have the ability to bring the songs to life with their own interpretations. The music in Songbook was the final work of Heighton’s life, and it is not only a gift to have his lyrics and chords but an invitation from Heighton himself, challenging his readers to answer the call and keep singing along.
