Tarr
'The nearest the general run get to art is Action: sex is their form of art: the battle for existence is their picture.' Tarr tells the blackly comic story of the lives and loves of two artists, played out against the backdrop of Paris before the start of the First World War - the English enfant terrible Frederick Tarr, and the middle-aged German Otto Kreisler, a failed painter who finds himself in a widening spiral of militaristic self-destruction. When both become interested in the same two women - Bertha Lunken, a conventional German, and Anastasya Vasek, the ultra-modern international devotee of 'swagger sex' - Wyndham Lewis sets the stage for a scathing satire of national and social pre...
Bencana Alam di Bali dalam Perspektif Ilmu Geografi
Bali adalah gabungan epik antara keindahan alam tropis dan ancaman bencana alam yang mengintai. Dari perspektif ilmu geografi, Bali terletak di Cincin Api Pasifik, kawasan yang dikenal dengan aktivitas vulkanik dan gempa bumi yang tinggi.

Second-Generation Memory and Contemporary Children's Literature
Winner of the Children’s Literature Association Book Award This book visits a range of textual forms including diary, novel, and picturebook to explore the relationship between second-generation memory and contemporary children’s literature. Ulanowicz argues that second-generation memory — informed by intimate family relationships, textual mediation, and technology — is characterized by vicarious, rather than direct, experience of the past. As such, children’s literature is particularly well-suited to the representation of second-generation memory, insofar as children’s fiction is particularly invested in the transmission and reproduction of cultural memory, and its form promotes...
Four Days on The Titanic (A True Book: The Titanic)
Rediscover the story of the largest and most luxurious ship ever built! For the first four days, everything went as planned on the Titanic. First-class passengers enjoyed their large, beautifully furnished rooms and 10-course meals in the ship's fanciest dining room. They also enjoyed using the reading rooms, the huge swimming pool, and the gymnasium. Second- and third-class passengers sailed in their not quite so fancy facilities. Then, on the evening of April 14, just one day short of arriving in New York, the Titanic struck an iceberg. 2 hours and 40 minutes later, the "unsinkable" ship disappeared beneath the waves. More than 1,500 of the 2,200 people on board perished. It was the bigges...

The Visionaries
The poems included in The Dreamers are inspired by Patsouri’s everyday encounters and life situations. A plethora of the poems explore the themes of erotic love, self empowerment, nature, instincts, passions, tenderness, and freedom, but also the geography and pulsation of specific places. Inspiration is additionally taken from Greek mythology, Greek philosophy, and friends of the poet. Each poem tells a different story, but all of them each time conclude with a positive ending or an aphorism. Emotions of euphoria, joy, aliveness, mystery, and sensual healing are evoked by the atmospheric descriptions. Patsouri’s poetry is succinct, sensual, and powerful, conveying messages and images in short verses that feel like a dance of words. Jump into the world of the poet, stretch time with the playful images, and enjoy the emotions being created by the rhythmic poems of this collection.

People and Time: The Painting Exhibition Catalog
The exhibition presents the work of Russian artists of different ages and experience, displayed in various painting techniques and genres, united by one idea to capture the spiritual world of a person and its manifestation in life and culture. The idea of such an exhibition was born a long time ago, and now it has formed into a concept to present the work of both already formed artistic personalities with their own unique vision of the world, who have developed their own manner and painting techniques, and novice, young artists with a direct, open look at the world, untrained visual approaches reflecting their idea of people, their deeds, experiences, exploits, an independent vision of the reality being changed by a person and cultural transformation of space. Artists pay close attention to the transience of the flow of human life, the cyclical nature of natural phenomena, the passion of human nature, the strength of spirit, the height of spirituality, the depth of poetry, historical exploits, cultural traditions and embody in the images of their works.
