Sinopsis

The late Victorian artist John William Waterhouse produced stunning paintings of women from ancient mythology, Shakespearean drama and Arthurian legend. The darling of the Royal Academy, where he exhibited almost every year throughout his long career, Waterhouse completed artworks that were celebrated for their rich, glowing colour and veiled eroticism. Embracing the style of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which had split up several decades before, Waterhouse depicted dramatic, beautiful and haunting female figures, perfecting his own vision of the all-powerful femme fatale. His paintings embrace a dreamy, romantic manner, with a sensuous handling of paint that gave them a unique identity. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Waterhouse’s complete paintings in beautiful detail, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    In recent years, the concept of smart cities has gained significant attention as urban areas face unprecedented growth and the challenges that come with it. As populations swell and technological advancements accelerate, cities around the world are exploring ways to harness the power of innovation to improve the quality of life for their residents. Smart cities represent a dynamic transformation where technology is seamlessly integrated into urban infrastructure, services, and governance. These cities use data, sensors, and interconnected systems to optimize functions such as traffic flow, energy consumption, healthcare, and public safety, creating more efficient, sustainable, and livable urban environments. 
    The rise of smart cities is driven by the need to address a host of urban issues that have become increasingly difficult to manage through traditional methods. Rapid urbanization has strained resources, from transportation networks to healthcare services, resulting in overcrowded cities and stretched public services. At the same time, the digital revolution has made it possible to rethink how cities are designed and operated, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation. In smart cities, data is collected from a vast array of sensors and devices embedded throughout the urban landscape, enabling real-time monitoring and management of everything from traffic congestion to energy use. 
    The development of smart cities is also closely tied to sustainability. With growing concerns about climate change and the depletion of natural resources, urban planners are turning to smart technologies to reduce environmental impact. For instance, energy-efficient buildings, waste management systems, and smart grids can significantly lower a city's carbon footprint. Moreover, renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, are increasingly being integrated into urban infrastructure, creating more sustainable energy systems.

    Linda Schuyler, co-creator and executive producer of the long-running Degrassi series, shares her personal stories about the grit and determination necessary to make it as a woman entrepreneur in the bourgeoning independent Canadian television industry of the early 1980s.
