Drawing for Illustration
An instructive book that examines the practice of drawing for illustration through case studies and sketchbooks, written by one of the world's foremost experts and teachers on the subject.
This essential handbook explores the subject of drawing for illustration in-depth, with an emphasis on drawing as a skill and fundamental language that every illustrator should master. It aims to encourage students through examples and case studies, by showcasing the often-unseen world of draughtsmanship that underpins the finished graphic. From book illustration to graphic novels, caricatures to commercial design, it draws on contemporary sketchbooks, projects and historical examples to make the connection between the practice of drawing from observation and drawing from imagination.
Martin Salisbury sets out by explaining the fundamentals of this exciting discipline, before outlining the basic principles of line, tone, composition and colour through inspiring examples. Different approaches to drawing including anecdotal, sequential and reportage are examined, to enable students to acquire their own personal visual language. Interviews with illustrators also provide invaluable insight into the creative process, as they outline their challenges and motivations, and what drawing personally means for them.
Packed with visual inspiration, this book features detailed analysis of works by key illustrators from past and present including George Cruikshank, Egon Schiele, Ronald Searle and Sheila Robinson through to Laura Carlin, Alexis Deacon and Isabelle Arsenault, looking at the differing roles drawing plays in their particular illustrative languages and how styles have changed over time.

The Power of Ritual
Casper ter Kuile, a Harvard Divinity School fellow and cohost of the popular Harry Potter and the Sacred Text podcast, explores how we can nourish our souls by transforming common, everyday practices?yoga, reading, walking the dog?into sacred rituals that can heal our crisis of social isolation and struggle to find purpose.
“After half a decade of research and hundreds of conversations with people around the country, I am convinced we are in the midst of a paradigm shift. That what used to hold us in community no longer works, and that the spiritual offerings of yesteryear no longer help us thrive.”
–Casper ter Kuile
What do Soul Cycle, gratitude journals, and tech breaks have in common? For ter Kuile they offer rituals that create the foundation for our modern spiritual lives.
We are in crisis today. Our modern technological society has left too many of us?no matter our ages?feeling isolated and bereft of purpose. Previous frameworks for building community and finding meaning no longer support us. Yet ter Kuile reveals a hopeful new message: we might not be religious, but that doesn’t mean we are any less spiritual.
Instead, we are in the midst of a paradigm shift in which we seek belonging and meaning in secular practices. Today, we find connection in:
· CrossFit and SoulCycle, which offer a sense of belonging rooted in accountability and support much like church groups
· Harry Potter and other beloved books that offer universal lessons
· Gratitude journals, which have replaced traditional prayer
· Tech breaks, which provide mindful moments of calm
In The Power of Ritual, ter Kuile invites us to deepen these ordinary practices as intentional rituals that nurture connection and wellbeing. With wisdom and endearing wit, ter Kuile’s call for ritual is ultimately a call to heal our loss of connection to ourselves, to others, and to our spiritual identities.
The Power of Ritual reminds us that what we already do every day matters?and has the potential to become a powerful experience of reflection, sanctuary, and meaning

4. Holidays to Disneyland
All Sam wants is a family of his own, a home instead of a 'house' and parents he knows will still be there when he wakes up. Because Sam has been in and out of foster care his whole life and he can't imagine ever feeling like he truly belongs.

El Diablo
Könyörtelen voltam.
Féltek tőlem.
Feláldoztam magamat. Őt. Mindent...
Én magam döntöttem úgy, hogy olyan világban akarok élni, ahol többet érek holtan, mint élve. Rossz ember voltam - sosem állítottam mást magamról. Rengeteg dolgot tettem, amire nem vagyok büszke. Láttam sok mindent, ami belém égett. Fájdalmat okoztam sok embernek, s ezt nem lehet visszacsinálni.
Minden rajtam állt.
Minden döntés.
Minden parancs.
Sosem számított, hogy mi helyes, és mi becstelen.
Amíg nem találkoztam Vele.
Addig védelmeztem, amíg a megszállottja lettem.
De ki fogja őt megmenteni tőlem?
Magától az ördögtől.
A sors hozott össze bennünket. A végzetünk közénk állt.
Sötét és kegyetlen, domináns maffiózó érzékeny szerelme egy balerina iránt.
FIGYELMEZTETÉS!
Brutális történet brutális szavakkal. Csak akkor vidd magaddal, ha bírod

My Promised Land The Triumph And Tragedy Of Israel
A groundbreaking and authoritative examination of Israel by one of the most influential columnists writing about the Middle East today.
Facing unprecedented internal and external pressures, Israel today is at a moment of existential crisis. My Promised Land tells the story of Israel as it has never been told before, and asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? And can
Israel survive?
Through revealing stories of significant events and lives of ordinary individuals - the youth group leader who recognised the potential of Masada as a powerful symbol for Zionism; the young farmer who bought an orange grove from his Arab neighbour in the 1920s, and
helped to create a booming economy in Palestine; the engineer who was instrumental in developing Israel's nuclear program; the religious Zionists who started the settler movement - Israeli journalist Ari Shavit illuminates the issues and threats that Israel is currently facing and uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present.
The result is a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today's global political landscape.

Star Wars: The Battle of Jedha
After the events of The High Republic: Convergence, the Jedi travel to Jedha in this full script for the Star Wars audio original The Battle of Jedha.
Jedha. The worn streets of this ancient world serve as a confluence for the galaxy. Visited by all, yet owned by none. Here, the Jedi are but one creed among many worshipping and studying the Force. From the Guardians of the Whills to the Path of the Open Hand, countless beings come to learn, and to share, in peace.
As all of Jedha prepares for its Festival of Balance, the galaxy still reels from the violence on Eiram and E'ronoh. But after foiling a plot to escalate the war between the two planets, the Jedi believe that a lasting peace may be within reach. Master Creighton Sun and Jedi Knight Aida Forte arrive on Jedha with delegations from both planets to formally end the "Forever War." The Jedi hope that the harmony of Jedha's many factions, along with the signing of a peace treaty, will create a symbol to the rest of the galaxy of what can be accomplished through unity.
But not all are happy with the Jedi's involvement or ready to concern themselves with peace. Rumors begin to swirl that the Jedi bring war in their wake. The distrust and anger that for so long fueled the Forever War now threaten to corrupt the communities of Jedha. When violence breaks out on the sacred moon, the war that was meant to end on Jedha may soon engulf the entire world.

Guilded
A terrible choice is still a choice.
A life of bad decisions had placed Zoe in a dangerous situation. Work for the Dregs, shadow assassins and their master, or face her survivors seeking revenge.
What better way to hide from death than deal in it? As a Necromancer, the end of life didn’t bother her. She knew what waited–nothing good.
The problem is no one just joined. First, they needed to apprentice and prove themselves.
Those drafted walked the lands as a force of nature, their very presence tweaking the scales of injustice towards balance.
Zoe wished they would tell her whom to kill and let her get on with it. Instead, she was bound to wander blindly, her bumbling and bumping path creating chaos.
From this, anarchy was meant to raise a new world order. Best she could tell, the system was hogwash, too random and localized for significant change.
However, she was in no position to argue.
Will Zoe ever gain the skills and knowledge needed to become a full-fledged Dreg? Read Guilded, the first book in her story set in the magical Lilliehaven universe to find out.
Get it now.

The Other Paris
Paris, the City of Light. We think of it as the city of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, of white facades, discreet traffic and well-mannered exchanges. But there was another Paris, hidden from view and virtually extinct today - the Paris of the working and criminal classes that shaped the city over the past two centuries. In the voices of Balzac and Hugo, assorted boulevardiers, barflies, rabble-rousers and tramps, Sante takes the reader on a vivid journey through the seamy underside of Paris: the improvised accommodations of the original bohemians; the flea markets, the rubbish tips, and the hovels. Featuring over 300 illustrations, The Other Paris is a lively tour of labour conditions, prostitution, drinking, crime, and popular entertainment, of the reporters, realiste singers, pamphleteers, serial novelists, and poets who chronicled their evolution. It upends the story of the French capital, reclaiming the city from the bon vivants and the speculators, and lighting a candle to the works and days of the forgotten poor.

Poetry Please - The Seasons
This new anthology of poems, favourites from the nation's longest-running and best-loved request programme for verse, moves with the seasons, following the turning year from John Clare's 'pale splendour of the winter sun' to John Keats's 'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness', by way of Larkin's 'young-leafed June' and Gerard Manley Hopkins' 'glassy peartree leaves and blooms' when 'Nothing is so beautiful as Spring'. As the year changes, so we change with it. Since time out of mind our daily lives have been shaped and directed by the seasons, and it is here that we find poems about harvest and hardship, growth and new life, the warmth of the life-giving sun, Christmas and the closing of the year. Poetry Please: Seasonal Poems is a vital and generous gathering to treasure.
