The Stories They Tell : Artifacts from the National September 11 Memorial Museum (0847841715)

This poignant selection of artifacts-and their stories-from September 11 provides an official, lasting record of that day's experience. In both text and photography, the story of September 11 is told through a selection of powerfully moving artifacts from the 9/11 museum's collection that serve as touchstones to the day and its aftermath. From crushed FDNY trucks to the steel that was pierced as planes struck the Twin Towers, from victims' property pulled from the wreckage and returned to families (who later donated the property to the museum) to spontaneous memorials collected from around Ground Zero, the array of objects tell complex and often surprising stories. Poignant artifacts as monumental as the Vesey Street staircase-which offered an escape for thousands fleeing the towers-and as intimate as a loved one's wedding band or last recorded phone message are selected to illuminate people's experiences during and after September 11, 2001, and February 26, 199...

The sacred wood of Bomarzo. Colouring Book (9788866871255)



Il Sacro bosco di Bomarzo, ideato dal Principe Vicino Orsini nel 1552, è comunemente definito Parco dei mostri per la presenza di sculture fantastiche e grottesche disseminate in un terreno boscoso. Il paesaggio presenta una minacciosa popolazione di massi, generata da un sommovimento tellurico: rocce, scolpite sul posto, si sono animate prendendo forma di terribili creature disseminate lungo percorsi scoscesi, tra alberi e vegetazione selvaggia. Il giardino, anche se inserito nella cultura architettonica naturalistica del secondo Cinquecento, costituisce un unicum, in quanto si differenzia dai raffinati giardini all'italiana rinascimentali caratterizzati da rigore e simmetria delle forme. Il Sacro bosco si presenta come un'avventurosa sequenza di apparizioni, ora spaventevoli, ora amene, che il visitatore scopre l'una dopo l'altra nel verde della selva, con stupore senza un ordine logico senza un percorso stabilito. Autentico labirinto di simboli avvolge chiunque ci si addentri fisicamente e intellettualmente, offrendo soluzioni del tutto irregolari. L'ideatore del singolo giardino è riuscito, con i suoi elementi giganteschi, a creare un rapporto sconcertante con la natura. L'incubo e la spensieratezza del Bosco magico sono delle forti componenti che si ritrovano nei poemi cavallereschi, in voga in quel periodo, immergendo il parco in una zona di incontro tra arte e letteratura. Nei poemi cavallereschi la parola sacro sta per magico e stregato come il tema centrale del Sacro bosco, dove la selva stregata sottopone il cavaliere ad una serie di terribili sfide che costituiscono i diversi aspetti delle difficoltà che l'eroe deve superare (allegoria delle difficoltà della vita). Il principe Vicino Orsini colto signore di Bomarzo, volle fortemente realizzare il suo giardino che divenne uno dei più importanti del cinquecento, ma anche quello che più di tutti rimane avvolto nel mistero. La colorazione delle statue: Secondo il testo ''Gli incantesimi di Bomarzo, il Sacro bosco tra arte e letteratura'' del critico d'arte Maurizio Calvesi, le statue, per volere del principe Orsini erano dipinte con colori puri e vivaci, rosso carminio, bianco, azzurro oltremare, viola, particolare che prende spunto dai poemi cavallereschi dove si ritrovano nelle descrizioni dei draghi e delle iene dell'Amadigi, e nell'Orlando Furioso.

Sneaker Freaker. The Ultimate Sneaker Book (9783836572231)

Back in 2002, Simon "Woody" Wood was dreaming up schemes to get free sneakers. Two weeks later, he was the proud owner of Sneaker Freaker and his life was never the same. From its early roots as a punk-style fanzine to today's super-slick print and online operations, the fiercely independent publication has documented every collab, custom, limited edition, retro reissue, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike, and Tier Zero sneaker released over the last 15 years. Woody's original premise that Sneaker Freaker would be "funny and serious, meaningful and pointless at the same time" has certainly been vindicated in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. With more than 650 pages jam-packed with insider knowledge and his own irreverent observations, the insane historical detail and otaku-level minutiae is beyond obsessive. Traversing 100 years of history, each chapter paints a rollicking picture of the sneaker industry's evolution. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Kanye, D...

Making a Medicine : Past, Present, Future (9781549985157)

Making a Medicine is the latest book in the dynamic popular science genre. Taking medicines when you're ill is something we have all done, yet very few of us have any idea of how they are made and why they have been given to them. Most of us go to the doctor, get a prescription and take the medicine dispensed by the chemist. Some patients don't realise there is a choice or feel it would be rude to ask for something else. Doctors often feel under pressure to prescribe to meet the patient's expectations. Increasingly we are becoming more aware of the medicines we take. This may be a consequence of our exposure to medical breakthroughs in the media and an increased interest in science in general. Maybe it is more acceptable to question what we are told and are mindful of scandals or misleading information from the past. This isn't limited to patients, doctors have been victims of aggressive or even untrue marketing by pharmaceutical companies. Better access to the infor...

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality : It's Impossible to Be Spiritually Mature, While Remaining Emotionally Immature (9780310348498)

MORE THAN 500,000 COPIES SOLD! A road map for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative. Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was the pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do--avoid conflict in the name of Christianity; ignore his anger, sadness, and fear; use God to run from God; and live without boundaries. Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health and the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting your life for to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches. In this updated edition, Scazzero shares new stories and principles as he outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested steps to become emotionally mature: Become your authentic se...
