This richly illustrated book has been produced to highlight the plight of some of our most popular, yet endangered wild creatures.

DAVID LYNCH THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB David Lynch's 1984 film Dune is an adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel, set in the distant future, involving a conflict for control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the spice melange. The film stars Kyle MacLachlan as Paul Atreides, whose family takes control of Arrakis, leading to a battle with House Harkonnen. The film, shot in Mexico, faced numerous production issues. It was a box office failure, grossing $30.9 million against a $40–42 million budget. Critics gave it negative reviews for its confusing plot, though some appreciated Lynch's visuals. Despite the negative reception, the film has gained a cult following. CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: The 1984 film Dune was directed by David Lynch, who also wrote the screenplay based on Frank Herbert's 1965 novel. The movie was filmed at Churubusco Studios in Mexico City and featured a soundtrack by the band Toto with a contribution from Brian Eno. Dune is set in the distant future and centers around a conflict between noble families fighting for control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the spice melange. The spice is essential for space travel and grants prescience, making it the most valuable commodity in the universe. Paul Atreides, the main character, is the heir of a powerful noble family that is given control of Arrakis, which puts them in direct conflict with the former overlords, House Harkonnen. Paul is also believed to be the Kwisatz Haderach, a messianic figure prophesized by the Bene Gesserit sisterhood.Ver livro

New and experimental ways to capture landscape in acrylics. Landscape artist Paul Bailey's fascination with the natural world is sensationally conveyed in his colourful and semi-abstract paintings. In Experimental Nature in Acrylics, he reveals his techniques for the first time – making it simple for readers to produce their own work that is abstract, evocative and full of vivid colour. Through easy-to-follow explanations and step-by-step demonstrations, Paul describes how to manipulate the medium in surprising – yet often simple – ways. Readers will learn how distil craggy cliffs, rolling farmland hills, tidal rivers or flat, open-skied wilderness in striking and unusual colour palettes. There are tips on how to paint organic shapes and using abstract elements in the natural landscape as the basis for a painting, and how to create a compositional sense of rhythm. Paul's beautiful and contemporary work appears throughout the book and acts as a masterclass in scraping, pulling, weathering and splattering the paint. As well as showing how to build layer upon layer, the process of construction and how to tease a sense of movement from a static image. This essential guide is a must for anyone wishing to augment their understanding of the acrylic medium and appreciation of composition and colour, and to liberate their own beautiful paintings.Ver livro
