If you mixed Marie Kondo, Brene Brown, your best friend, and a sailor on shore leave together, this is the book you''d get—an irreverent guide to decluttering yourself and your home so you can create the life you deserve. This is the book you need to read before all of those other decluttering and organizing books collecting dust on your shelves. You’ve had plans to go through your closets for years. You have piles of stuff. Your kitchen is overflowing or your basement is crowded with boxes. You want control but don’t know how to get it because you keep addressing the symptom—the clutter—and not the cause—a lifetime of negative thoughts and messages. Ditch Your Sh*t validates you and every time you’ve doubted yourself. It teaches you that decluttering yourself will lead to overcoming the barriers that have stopped you from decluttering your home so you can create sustainable change. In Part I, you''ll tackle the mental shit in chapters like "Shitty Thinking" and "Ditch your Shitty Habits." You will draw on your own strengths. You will learn how to create realistic goals for success and overcome feelings of shame and imperfection. In Part II, you''ll tackle the physical shit in chapters that focus on specific areas of your house, such as the kitchen, shared common areas, and even the bathroom. In the end, you will learn how to get shit done and feel good about yourself while doing it. By the time you’ve finished Ditch Your Sh*t, you’ll understand yourself better and actually be excited to tackle the clutter in your home instead of being frozen with overwhelm. It’s time to learn what author Kate Evans did when she decluttered her own home: Caring for your home is self-care.

From acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans, author of Red Rosa, comes a graphic biography of Jane Austen. Publishing on the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen?s birth.In the later years of her life, Jane Austen created a quilt. Acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans takes the fabrics of this patchwork coverlet and uses them to illustrate a beautiful, brilliantly immersive and compelling comic-book retelling of Jane Austen?s life. Evans patchworks together the narrative from Austen?s own words, seamlessly interweaving snippets from her letters and her stories, and tells her life story from the cradle to the grave, including riotously joyous comic excerpts of her novels.Kate Evans?s art style ? which takes inspiration from James Gillray, Raymond Briggs, Quentin Blake and Beatrix Potter ? and her incredible eye for historical detail, costume, architecture, even the fonts on the page, add up to a quintessentially English vision of Austen?s world. There is even an embroidered chapter, where the artwork is created in thread paintings. The whole combines to create a unique and original work of biographical scholarship which gives fresh insights into the impact of the events of Austen?s life on her work.

Kdo ti nejlépe představí umělecké dílo? Muzeum? Tam je to samé nesahej, nesmíš a pozorně čti popisky. Když se ale do vylíčení vzniku těch nejlepších kousků z historie umění pustí samotní tvůrci, modelové, obrazy, sochy… Vyprav se na vzrušující cestu po stopách umění! Projdi se po pravěké jeskyni. Seznam se s půvabnou královnou Nefertiti. Nebo si třeba pohlaď hranostaje z obrazu Leonarda da Vinciho či oslav narozeniny s Marcem Chagallem.
