    “You look so familiar, where have I seen you?” Mira Tzur repeatedly hears this statement when she enters a room. The answer to this question is what inspired Anonymously Famous™. Mira Tzur is best known for her multifaceted talents and familiar, warm presence. She is an Israeli American Founder & President of One Circle Productions & Consulting Group, actress, theater and film producer, social philanthropist, French Countess, former counterintelligence IDF officer, and Senior Vice President of a next gen fintech company. Her background and unique credentials in dance, fitness, nutrition, modeling, and acting set her up for a life of success as a leader in the business world. This informative A to Z guide illustrates her own—often humorous—25-year journey in the industry of modeling and acting, sharing interviews with many of her renowned peers and colleagues, demonstrating that modeling is a lifestyle that evolves over time. Throughout the book, Mira expresses a strong message that a model can work in the profession at any age, depicting their stage in life to inspire the target audience. Twenty years of experience has a far greater value than being 20 years old, even in a business driven by external beauty. Thus, while most fashion modeling books speak to the 1% dreaming of becoming a supermodel—for most, an unattainable goal—this book speaks to the other 99% who, at some point, dream of modeling but were told not to pursue it. Anonymously Famous™ explores in-depth, the platforms you’ll need to know about: print, commercial, voice-over, hosting, animation, unions, agents, managers, casting directors, photographers, modeling [fit, foot, fitness, part, petit, plus, mature, etc.], giving the reader enough mileage to take their own journey. In today’s world, the only thing that you have going for you is you! Are you the best version of yourself at any given age?

    In No Lasting City, Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt collects essays written over a twenty-five-year period that explore the relationship between theology, politics, and culture. Drawing on the Christian theological tradition and engaging thinkers from Augustine and Julian of Norwich to Max Weber and Michel de Certeau, Bauerschmidt sketches a picture of faithful engagement with politics and culture that has robustly Christological contours. The stories of Flannery O’Connor, the paintings of the Flemish Primitives, the curricula of medieval universities, and modern accounts of mystical experience all serve as points by which the path of God’s pilgrim city is charted, as a way both of understanding our past and present and of orienting us toward our hoped-for homeland.
