Sinossi

Art Visionaries explores the lives and groundbreaking works of influential painters, sculptors, and designers, revealing the forces behind their lasting impact. This book examines not only artistic techniques but also the historical and philosophical contexts that shaped their revolutionary contributions. Discover how patronage, technological advancements, and evolving social values played crucial roles in shaping artistic expression, offering a richer understanding of the challenges and opportunities artists faced. The book argues that true artistic vision stems from deep engagement with the world and a willingness to challenge norms. For instance, scientific approaches to art restoration and pigment analysis, drawing from museum archives, provide new angles into the creative process.

 
The approach unfolds in three sections: foundational principles of art theory and historical context, in-depth profiles of select artists analyzing their works and styles, and a synthesis of these studies to identify common threads. By examining artists' individual journeys and social contexts, Art Visionaries provides a compelling narrative alongside art historical analysis.

 
The book connects to history, sociology, and philosophy, offering a fresh perspective for art enthusiasts and general readers alike. It empowers readers to critically evaluate contemporary art and design, illuminating art's power to transform perceptions.

A Little Less Broken - How an...

Marian Schembari

This program is read by the author.One woman’s decades-long journey to a diagnosis of autism, and the barriers that keep too many neurodivergent people from knowing their true selvesMarian Schembari was thirty-four years old when she learned she was autistic. By then, she’d spent decades hiding her tics and shutting down in public, wondering why she couldn’t just act like everyone else. Therapists told her she had Tourette’s syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sensory processing disorder, social anxiety, and recurrent depression. They prescribed breathing techniques and gratitude journaling. Nothing helped.It wasn’t until years later that she finally learned the truth: she wasn’t weird or deficient or moody or sensitive or broken. She was autistic.Today, more people than ever are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Testing improvements have made it easier to identify neurodivergence, especially among women and girls who spent decades dismissed by everyone from parents to doctors, and misled by gender-biased research. A diagnosis can end the cycle of shame and invisibility, but only if it can be found.In this deeply personal and researched memoir, Schembari’s journey takes her from the mountains of New Zealand to the tech offices of San Francisco, from her first love to her first child, all with unflinching honesty and good humor.A Little Less Broken breaks down the barriers that leave women in the dark about their own bodies, and reveals what it truly means to embrace our differences. A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

MATCHED: A Memoir

Denise Massar

When their adoption attorney told Denise and her husband that they would be responsible for finding a woman willing to give them her baby, Denise was horrified. But horrified quickly turned into obsessed. She advertised across the country, fielding and vetting potential birth moms by phone. The first to contact Denise had been raped, twice. Ashamed and depressed, she spent her pregnancy doing coke and drinking vodka to knock herself out. "Do you want to adopt my baby?" she asked. The director of a women's shelter housing victims of human trafficking asked Denise, "Would you have a problem adopting a baby born of prostitution?" Denise knew she wouldn't, but what would her husband say? The eight birth moms Denise met during her search – one an unhoused twenty-year-old, another an MBA-holding executive – changed her life forever, leading her not only to her child, but, in a twist of fate, to the one woman Denise thought she'd never meet: Her own birth mom.  
  
Matched is first and foremost a book for memoir lovers. It's also a love letter to anyone touched by adoption. Whatever your place in the triad: adoptee, birth parent, or adoptive parent, your story is within these pages. Adoption is beautiful. It's also problematic. Massar invites you to ride shotgun on her un-instagrammable journey. Because real is so much better than perfect.
