Examines the Romantic period in poetry that includes the works of Byron, Shelley, Keats and others.
This is a parody of a series of historical fiction novels, set in the era of the War of 1812.
Unlike many other art books only give recipes for mixing colors or describe step-by-step painting techniques, *Color and Light* answers the questions that realist painters continually ask, such as: "What happens with sky colors at sunset?", "How do colors change with distance?", and "What makes a form look three-dimensional?" Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plain-air painter and science illustrator to share a wealth of information about the realist painter's most fundamental tools: color and light. He bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge for traditional and digital artists of all levels of experience.
First published in 1988, this encyclopedia serves as an overview and point of entry to the complex interdisciplinary field of Victorian studies. The signed articles, which cover persons, events, institutions, topics, groups and artefacts in Great Britain between 1837 and 1901, have been written by authorities in the field and contain bibliographies to provide guidelines for further research. The work is intended for undergraduates and the general reader, and also as a starting point for graduates who wish to explore new fields.

The keys to success in a motivational autobiography by New Zealand's top multisport athlete. Steve Gurney is an exceptional athlete. He has been in 19 of the epic Coast to Coast races in a row, and he has won nine of them. He has represented New Zealand twice at the World Mountain Bike champs and has spent a lot of time adventure racing in far-flung jungles, caves, mountains and deserts. This motivational, funny and frank autobiography covers Steve's multisport career and his life in general. It's aimed at business/sports people wanting to know the keys to success, people interested in mental health issues, people who want to be inspired and to get motivated and driven people who want to understand themselves better. 'Have really enjoyed the read. A number of my training mates are also reading it, and it has created quite a lot of discussion while running/cycling and over coffees/beers. We have definitely picked up some training tips and also probably made us reflect on why we do this type of sport....personally I think his honesty makes it a book well beyond multisport.' - Matt Cowie, Weekend Warrior
