Book Description
A corner bookcase created from two damaged end tables? Window cornices made from foam insulation panels? A discarded medicine cabinet turned into a catch-all foyer cabinet? What will she think of next? Youll find out in RUMMAGE, REMNANTS and RESALE: From Secondhand to First-class Dcor, by Mary Linden Ragains, part of a series of RagLin to Riches books that show you how to turn rags and other cast-offs into rich-looking decorative items, at very little expense. In RUMMAGE, REMNANTS and RESALE, Ragains shows you how she decorated an approximately 2,000-square-foot home for less than $2,000 worth of secondhand items purchased at rummage sales, garage sales and resale shops. She took some dives in a few Dumpsters and scavenged for discarded items in several roadside trash piles. With remnants of fabric, paint and lumber, she turned these items into useful and attractive pieces. For each room, Ragains found an inspiration piece to determine the decorating theme and color scheme. She includes before-and-after photos and floorplans along with tips and how-to instructions so you can replicate her ideas. If you liked I Brake for Garage Sales by Lara Spencer (best known for being a co-anchor on ABCs Good Morning America and creator and producer of HGTVs Flea Market Flip), youre going to love RUMMAGE, REMNANTS and RESALE: From Secondhand to First-class Dcor.

An Enlarged Heart
Author: Cynthia Zarin
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307962199
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
An Enlarged Heart, the exquisitely written prose debut from prize-winning poet Cynthia Zarin, is a poignantly understated exploration of the author’s experiences with love, work, and the surprise of time’s passage. In these intertwined episodes from her New York world and beyond, she charts the shifting and complicated parameters of contemporary life and family in writing that feels nearly fictional in its richness of scene, dialogue, and mood. The writer herself is the marvelously rueful character at the center of these tales, at first a bewildered young woman, navigating the terrain of new jobs and borrowed apartments and the rapidly fading New York of people like Mr. Ferri, the Upper East Side tailor (“a wren of a man with pins flashing in his teeth”). By the end, whether Zarin is writing about vanished restaurants, her decades-long love affair with her collection of coats, a newlywed journey to Italy, a child’s illness, Mary McCarthy’s file cabinet, or the inner life of the New Yorker staff she knew as a young woman, this history of the heart shows us how persistent the past is in returning to us with entirely new lessons, and that there are some truths not even a tailor can alter.

How Life Began
Author: Alexandre Meinesz
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226519333
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
The origin of life is a hotly debated topic. The Christian Bible states that God created the heavens and the Earth, all in about seven days roughly six thousand years ago. This episode in Genesis departs markedly from scientific theories developed over the last two centuries which hold that life appeared on Earth about 3.5 billion years ago in the form of bacteria, followed by unicellular organisms half a millennia later. It is this version of genesis that Alexandre Meinesz explores in this engaging tale of life's origins and evolution. How Life Began elucidates three origins, or geneses, of life—bacteria, nucleated cells, and multicellular organisms—and shows how evolution has sculpted life to its current biodiversity through four main events—mutation, recombination, natural selection, and geologic cataclysm. As an ecologist who specializes in algae, the first organisms to colonize Earth, Meinesz brings a refreshingly novel voice to the history of biodiversity and emphasizes here the role of unions in organizing life. For example, the ingestion of some bacteria by other bacteria led to mitochondria that characterize animal and plant cells, and the chloroplasts of plant cells. As Meinesz charmingly recounts, life’s grandeur is a result of an evolutionary tendency toward sociality and solidarity. He suggests that it is our cohesion and collaboration that allows us to solve the environmental problems arising in the decades and centuries to come. Rooted in the science of evolution but enlivened with many illustrations from other disciplines and the arts, How Life Began intertwines the rise of bacteria and multicellular life with Vermeer’s portrait of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, the story of Genesis and Noah, Meinesz’s son’s early experiences with Legos, and his own encounters with other scientists. All of this brings a very human and humanistic tone to Meinesz’s charismatic narrative of the three origins of life.
