Synopsis

Adam Elsheimer was born in Germany, Frankfurt am Main, one of ten children, in a family of master-tailor. Artist Philipp Uffenbach apprenticed him. He probably visited Strasbourg in 1596. Twenty years old he traveled to Italy via Munich, where he was documented in 1598.
His stay in Venice has not been documented, but the impact on Venetian style is visible. Elsheimerprobably worked as an assistant to Johann Rottenhammer. Rottenhammer was a German who lived in Italy for several years and was the first German artist to specialize in cabinet paintings. Although the earliest small paintings by Elsheimer on copper seem to date from before his arrival in Italy, the influence of Rottenhammer is noticeable in his mature work.
It is believed that Elsheimer produced some significant works in Venice, such as the Baptism of Christ and the Holy Family, which show the influence of the Venetian artists Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese, as well as of Rottenhammer.
His perfectionism and apparent propensity for depression were the reason for a small total volume of his work. In total, all his paintings have so far been forty. He also painted several etchings, but not very successful.

Spid is bored and longs for adventure. When he daydreams one day, of faraway places, he finds himself flying back in time. But his adventure isn’t quite as he expected...This audiobook features two songs: 'Seven Wonders' and 'I Dreamed of Faraway'. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.

As the 1950s dawned America was a colossus militarily, economically and culturally.  It bestrode a globe it was doing so much to shape in its own image.  But it had concerns; the threat of communism.  And for the Movies and Radio there was another concern: the emerging rise of Television. 
 
For Radio, still in its golden age of mass audiences and star filled programmes, they had a handy solution with ‘The Big Show’.  Its premise was simple but effective.  Take 90 minutes of air-time and fill it with the stars of stage, screen and radio doing comedy sketches, drama extracts and musical numbers. 
 
It sounds simple enough and aided by a huge budget from NBC it was a success, staffed by the best writers and technical team in the business. 
 
Hosted by Tallulah Bankhead, with her sharp and acidic wit and her brilliance at ad-libbing ‘The Big Show’ was big entertainment with big stars for a big audience.
