On the spiritual in Art - First complete English translation with four full colour page reproductions woodcuts and half tones

Wassily Kandinsky

Sinopse

FOREWORD TO THE 1946 NEW YORK EDITION

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation is publishing the first complete English edition of "On the Spiritual in Art" by Kandinsky. It was translated and checked by American, English, Russian and German scholars, who have collaborated to achieve the best possible way of doing justice to the original, and of preserving and conveying, in the most reverent manner, the ideas and style of Kandinsky.1 A French edition is also being published in Paris, indicating the growing interest and demand for Kandinsky's art and his epochal advent. To enrich this book further, it was decided to enclose a short survey of Kandinsky's artistic work since 1904 to 1944, when he died in France, to give an idea of his evolution. There is also included a survey of comments made by the public in the Museum of Non-objective Painting in 1945, which proved that the vision of Kandinsky has come true and that his art has found many enthusiastic followers and co-workers.

Legends of the Leaf - Unearthing...

Jane Perrone

Have you ever wondered why the leaves of the Swiss cheese plant have holes? How aloe vera came to be harnessed as a medicinal powerhouse? Or why – despite your best efforts – you can’t keep your Venus flytrap alive? 
You are not alone: houseplant expert Jane Perrone has asked herself those very questions, and in Legends of the Leaf she digs deep beneath the surface to reveal the answers. By exploring how they grow in the wild, and the ways they are understood and used by the people who live among them, we can learn almost everything we need to know about our cherished houseplants. 
Along the way, she unearths their hidden histories and the journeys they’ve taken to become prized possessions in our homes: from the Kentia palms which stood either side of Queen Victoria’s coffin as she lay in state; to the dark history of the leopard lily, once exploited for its toxic properties; to English ivy, which provided fishermen with a source of bait. 
Each houseplant history in this beautifully illustrated collection is accompanied by a detailed care guide and hard-won practical advice, but it is only by understanding their roots that we can truly unlock the secrets to helping plants thrive.

Spellbound - My Life as a...

Phil Hanley

This program is read by the author, comedian and severe dyslexic Phil Hanley, who reveals his unlikely path to success in a story that is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.When Phil Hanley was in first grade, he realized something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it—a realization that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humor and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity.Hanley tells us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life—it’s been his North Star.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
