Synopsis

Persian Gardens explores the rich history and profound influence of these meticulously designed landscapes, revealing them as earthly representations of paradise. Persian Gardens, originating in ancient Persia, are more than just beautiful spaces; they are cultural statements reflecting power, faith, and identity.

 
Intriguingly, these gardens often incorporate the charbagh layout, a four-part design symbolizing the Zoroastrian elements of water, earth, fire, and air, demonstrating a deep connection to ancient beliefs.

 
The book progresses from the core design principles to specific examples across historical periods, examining their evolution and adaptation. It then delves into the symbolism and cultural significance of these gardens, drawing from textual and archaeological evidence.

 
Ultimately, Persian Gardens traces their impact on global garden design, particularly in Islamic and European traditions. By combining architectural analysis with cultural history, the book offers a unique perspective on these historical landscapes.

    INSIDE OUT 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY PETE DOCTER 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Inside Out is an animated film that explores the emotions inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley. After moving to a new city, Riley’s emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—must work together to help her navigate the challenges of adjusting to her new life. The film delves into themes of growing up, emotional growth, and the complexity of feelings, portraying how both positive and negative emotions play a crucial role in shaping one’s personality and experiences. It blends humor, adventure, and heartfelt moments while providing a unique look at the human mind. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “At the end of the movie with the cat, the background poster reads "sure locks for homes," a playful reference to Sherlock Holmes.” 
      
    “Bing Bong reminisces over a recent memory of Riley, feeling she has grown too large to fit in the wagon. This moment leads to a quiet realization that his time is running out and he may be a burden.” 
      
    “Bing Bong's final line is often misquoted as "Take her to the moon for me, Joy." The actual line is "Take her to the moon for me, okay?" 
      
    “Joy is often viewed as the only positive emotion in the movie, while the other emotions are seen as negative. However, the film shows that no emotion is inherently positive or negative.”

    The tragedy of gun violence is depicted in annotated illustrations that illuminate a society gone hamn; from legendary hip-hop artist Chuck D (Public Enemy, Prophets of Rage, etc.)—Selected for the In the Margins Book Awards 2024 Nonfiction Recommendation List"With his latest work of graphic nonfiction, Chuck D uses his art and hip-hop rhymes to show how the US has been held hostage by gun violence and a growing sense of hopelessness . . . A focused, fresh, urgent text filled with pictures worth 1,000 words and rhymes worth thousands more." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewIN SUMMER OF HAMN, legendary hip-hop artist Chuck D takes on gun violence with rhythmic, inventive writing and passionately raw art. He has long spoken out against gun violence, including how it intersects with rap and hip-hop culture. Summer of Hamn is the bound journal Chuck D carried with him in the summer of 2022—a summer marked by a particularly high rate of gun death.In these pages, victims are memorialized, politicians are skewered, and vehement pleas to eradicate gun violence are made. Jaw-dropping statistics (40% of all personal guns in the world are owned by US citizens; there are 100 million more guns in the US than there are citizens) intersect with poetic reflections ("Another mall shooting seems normalized in Columbus / Raining outside in Ohio / Raining inside folks panic / Inside hearing shots bust"), all written in Chuck's hand over vibrant, utterly original, neoexpressionist ink and watercolor art.This book is the follow-up to STEWdio the debut trilogy on Chuck D's Enemy Books imprint, in which he invented a new medium—the "naphic grovel"—a bound journal brimming with his observations and reflections of current events in both art and prose. Summer of Hamn is the second release on the imprint.

    The debut novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author that is both a tragic love story and a searing group portrait of hapless American expatriates drinking, dancing, and chasing their dreams in postwar Europe. 
    “An absorbingly beautiful and tenderly absurd, heart-breaking narrative ... It is a truly gripping story.” —The New York Times 
    Ernest Hemingway, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, exerted a lasting influence on fiction in English through his economical prose style that conceals more than it reveals. His first novel, published in 1926, is narrated by world-weary journalist Jake Barnes, who is burdened by a wound acquired in World War I and by his utterly hopeless love for the flamboyantly decadent Lady Brett Ashley. The Sun Also Rises tracks the Lost Generation of the 1920s from the nightclubs of Paris to the bullfighting arenas of Spain
