In 1950, Albers went to Yale University and became the head of its newly formed Department of Design where he taught until he retired from teaching in 1958. “Art is a province in which one finds all the problems of life reflected,” Albers wrote in the Black Mountain College Bulletin in 1934. The school sought to merge art and life, study and play. There, he taught students who would eventually make a name for themselves, including Ruth Asawa, Robert Rauschenberg, and Cy Twombly. Albers-despite speaking no English-became head of a new experimental art school at Black Mountain College in rural North Carolina. ![]() They had help from Philip Johnson, who was then a curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. ![]() ![]() A post shared by Josef & Anni Albers Foundation Bauhaus closed, the Albers came to the U.S. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hearn is best remembered for his writings on Japan and not only in the West – his books and the stories he collected have been translated back into Japanese and are now read in Japanese schools.īut evident even in this collection, Japanese Ghost Stories, extracts from his books between 1894-1905, is Hearn’s familiarity with folklore and myths from across the world, referencing Norse mythology in one story and frequently alluding to those of classical Greece. He captured the stories of life and folklore in Japan that he was exposed to and actively sought out. Hearn’s interest in ghost stories was fostered at an early age whilst living with a wealthy relative in Dublin, whose house contained a library of many old books, but he didn’t fully embrace the ghost story as a writer until his final 15 years in Japan, where many of his childhood fears came back to haunt him. Hearn spent those years teaching at Tokyo University and then Waseda University, and writing books aimed largely at an American audience. If we look back on Hearn’s career and works, it is a recording of folklore and local customs that stands out most clearly. ![]() Born in Greece, raised in Ireland, educated in England, and a writing career forged in America – perhaps it is Lafcadio Hearn’s lack of a permanent home that resulted in his openness towards and interest in other cultures. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Warcross marie lu pdf![]() ![]() This is free download Life After Legend (Legend, #3.5) by Marie Lu complete book soft copy.

Blume![]() ![]() When the magazine published 'Hiroshima' in August 1946, it became an instant global sensation, and inspired pervasive horror about the weapons that had been covertly waged in America's name. For nearly a year, the cover-up worked - until New Yorker journalist John Hersey got into Hiroshima and reported the truth to the world.Īs Hersey and his editors prepared his article for publication, they kept the whistleblowing story secret - even from most of their New Yorker colleagues. The cover-up intensified as Americans closed the atomic cities to Allied reporters, preventing information from leaking about the horrific and lasting effects of radiation that would kill thousands of people during the months after the blast. ![]() But even before the surrender, the US had begun a secret propaganda campaign to celebrate these weapons as the ultimate peacekeepers - hiding the true extent and nature of their devastation. In the days following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese surrendered unconditionally. New York Times bestselling author Lesley Blume reveals how a courageous reporter uncovered one of the greatest and deadliest cover-ups of the 20th century - the true effects of the atom bomb - potentially saving millions of lives. ![]() ![]() A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES AND VANITY FAIR ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments You Are (Not) Small by Anna Kang![]() ![]() Achieving all these things within 32 pages is difficult, but I enjoy the challenge of distilling and paring down until every word is necessary. If it also happens to have funny moments, then even better, since kids (and adults) love to laugh, and kids will read a book multiple times if it’s funny. In my opinion, a good picture book engages the young reader through its story, characters, and illustrations, and ideally, has a subtext that kids can think about. What, in your experience, makes a good picture book? It’s not very many words and all you need is someone to draw good pictures. Writing a children’s book seems deceptively easy. ![]() I spoke to Kang about the process of bringing a picture book to life, her eleventh grade literary awakening and working with her hubby. The wife and husband team have also received numerous other awards and mentions for their other work. You Are (Not) Small has won several awards, including the 2015 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award, and was listed as one of the NPR Best Books of 2014. She has, since then, published seven more books, all illustrated by her husband, Christopher Weyant. ![]() Anna Kang’s debut picture book, You Are (Not) Small, was published in 2014. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Carry the one by carol anshaw![]() ![]() Education-M.F.A., Vermont College of Fine Arts.This wise, wry, and erotically charged novel derives its power and appeal from the author’s exquisite use of language her sympathy for her recognizable, very flawed characters and her persuasive belief in the transforming forces of time and love. As one character says, “When you add us up, you always have to carry the one.” Through friendships and love affairs marriage and divorce parenthood, holidays, and the modest calamities and triumphs of ordinary days, Carry the One shows how one life affects another and how those who thrive and those who self-destruct are closer to each other than we’d expect.Īs they seek redemption through addiction, social justice, and art, Anshaw’s characters reflect our deepest pain and longings, our joys, and our transcendent moments of understanding. ![]() Carry the One begins in the hours following Carmen’s wedding reception, when a car filled with stoned, drunk, and sleepy guests accidentally hits and kills a girl on a dark country road.įor the next twenty-five years, those involved, including Carmen and her brother and sister, craft their lives in response to this single tragic moment. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Wintersweet by E. Davies![]() ![]() ![]() Whole-genome duplication and tandem duplication events have significant impacts on copy numbers of genes related to terpene and benzenoid/phenylpropanoid (the main floral scent volatiles) biosynthesis, which may contribute to the characteristic aroma formation. Whole-genome duplication signatures reveal two major duplication events in the evolutionary history of the wintersweet genome, with an ancient one shared by Laurales, and a more recent one shared by the Calycantaceae. Phylogenetic analyses of 17 representative angiosperm genomes suggest that Magnoliids and eudicots are sister to monocots. ![]() Here, we present a chromosome-level wintersweet genome assembly with a total size of 695.36 Mb and a draft genome assembly of Calycanthus chinensis. In addition, wintersweet is also a typical representative species of the magnoliids, where the phylogenetic position of which relative to eudicots and monocots has not been conclusively resolved. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these traits are largely unknown in this species. ![]() Wintersweet ( Chimonanthus praecox), an important ornamental plant, has evolved unique fragrant aroma and winter-flowering properties, which are critical for its successful sexual reproduction. ![]() |
