Sinopsis

The smoothly metallic portraits, nudes and still lifes of Tamara de Lempicka encapsulate the spirit of Art Deco and the Jazz Age, and reflect the elegant and hedonistic life-style of a wealthy, glamorous and privileged elite in Paris between the two World Wars. Combining a formidable classical technique with elements borrowed from Cubism, Lempicka’s art represented the ultimate in fashionable modernity while looking back for inspiration to such master portraitists as Ingres and Bronzino. This book celebrates the sleek and streamlined beauty of her best work in the 1920s and 30s. It traces the extraordinary life story of this talented and glamorous woman from turn of the century Poland and Tsarist Russia, through to her glorious years in Paris and the long years of decline and neglect in America, until her triumphant rediscovery in the 1970s when her portraits gained iconic status and world-wide popularity.

    There are many types of cars, or automobiles, as some people like to call them. There are the ‘family’ types that facilitate our daily lives, and get us to work and the shops; then there are the work-horses, the vans, lorries and trucks, named after the animals that they replaced; and the dream cars... the Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Rolls-Royces and the like. However, a new class has arrived too – the hybrid  
    The conception of modern hybrid vehicles with their twin engines received a rather dubious first hearing by the automotive industry and the public. The cost was incredible, and the weight of two engines in one vehicle sounded unfeasible. We all know how that has turned out, but do you know how long mankind has actually been using hybrids? 
    It will probably surprise you to learn that hybrid vehicles were among the very first cars produced in the Nineteenth Century. However, they were not powerful, and mighty oil was looking for a niche. Oil, in the forms of petrol and diesel eventually shoved hybrids aside, and set the path for the automotive industry for 150 years. 
    As for auto accessories, it is in mankind’s nature to customise anywhere he spends a lot of time, such as the home, the workplace and, yes, even the car. We hang things from the rear view mirror, put items on the rear windscreen shelf, and add our favourite accessories to the dashboard. It has ever been thus. 
    I hope that you will find the information in this booklet helpful, useful and even profitable. It is relevant to the topics just mentioned, and organised into eighteen chapters of about five to six hundred words each. 
    I am certain that it will interest people who love cars and technology, and auto accessories. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although you should rewrite them in your own words first.

    What comes to your mind when home management is thrown to you? 
    Do you have an idea on how to arrange your home? 
    In this book, we will give you a moderate home makeover in two sensible territories: your parlor and its more laid-back cousin, your family room: I realize that, from home to home, the time required to limit these rooms may differ altogether, yet for most people, minimizing the lounge and family room speaks to an accomplishable goal. 
    So? 
    If you start here, you will score a success generally rapidly, and you will begin building up your psychological and enthusiastic "muscles" for decluttering. If you happen to be one of those individuals who have a parlor or family room where all that appears to gather (I see that a great deal in little apartments), never dread. What you will realize in this part will assist you with handling these rooms bit by bit until it has been completely done. The lounge and family room are yet incredible places for you to begin in making the home and life you need. 
    What is more, on the off chance that you have got mountains of assets in those rooms...well, your triumph over them will be all the better for you. 
    This book will :Helps you understand the tenets of arranging your homeShrink operating costsDecrease the risk or improper arrangementsImproves your home qualityGives a better idea of home spaces
