Book Description
This is the first painting collection of Yasumasa Yonehara, who expresses the Tokyo girls' street culture using a mini instant Polaroid camera, "Cheki."

Being sent to your room is one thing. But being sent to another country?

Unfortunately, Morgan's parents freaked and decided a change of scenery would do her good. So they're sending her off on a bike tour of Ireland. But Morgan gets more than she bargained for on the Emerald Isle-including a strange journey into some crazy, once upon a time corner of the past.

Going Gray
Author: Anne Kreamer
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 0316019674
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Anne Kreamer considered herself a youthful 49 until a photo of herself with her teenage daughter stopped her in her tracks. In one unguarded moment she saw herself for what she really was -- a middle-aged woman with her hair dyed much too harshly. In that one moment Kreamer realized that she wasn't fooling anyone about her age and decided it was time to get real and embrace a more authentic life. She set out for herself a program to let her hair become its true color, and along the way discovered her true self. Going Gray is Kreamer's exploration of that experience, and a frank, warm and funny investigation of aging as a female obsession. Through interviews, field experiments, and her own everywoman's chronicle, Kreamer probes the issues behind two of the biggest fears aging women face: Can I be sexually attractive as a gray-haired, middle-aged woman? Will I be discriminated against in the work world? Her answers will surprise you. In searching for the balance between attractiveness and authenticity, Kreamer's journey of middle-aging illiminates in a friendly, useful, and entertaining way the politics and personal costs of this generation's definition of "aging gracefully".

The Loner Girl in London
Author: J. Guzmán
Publisher: J. Guzmán
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
The Loner Girl in London is volume 4 of the series On Being, a self-referential, metaphysical case history where the author J. Guzmán psychoanalyzes her own consciousness throughout Time, uses tools like astrology to facilitate the investigation, and documents the entire process. On Being is a life-long, narrative, archival data set of her life in the form of diaries, whose purpose is to assist astrologers and other researchers in the detailed demonstration of how their respective theories, methods, techniques, and practices function in a real life. In volume 4, the protagonist Ana, who is the author J., travels to London to study abroad and travels solo around Europe for three months after she finishes school. Her experiences could be categorized archetypally into the energy of Neptune squaring her natal Mars, a transit lasting for the entirety of her travels. Her struggles involve persistent and intense anxiety and lethargy, a lack of appropriate boundaries regarding sex, a self-sabotaging overindulgence in alcohol and sugar, an emphasis on stream of consciousness poetry, and an overwhelming confusion and lack of clarity regarding her ambitions and the point of her life.
