Book Description
Lyla and Jonha are young artists who live on their own tiny planet. Theirs is one of a thousand such planets, each hosting a pair of artists who are destined to spend their lives together. The artists on these planets know very little about the rest of the galaxy and believe that they are creating solely for each other's enjoyment. One day, communication from the other planets, and from Central Authority is suddenly cut off, and the other small planets begin disappearing from the night sky. Jonha and Lyla try to continue with their lives as normally as possible. When it becomes obvious that whatever has been taking the planets is coming for them next, Lyla and Jonha go on the offensive. Armed with only their wits and determination, they take on the Captain and crew of the largest ship in the galaxy; The Queen Tiffany's Revulsion.

Visualizing Household Health
Author: Jennifer Borland
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271091495
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
In 1256, the countess of Provence, Beatrice of Savoy, enlisted her personal physician to create a health handbook to share with her daughters. Written in French and known as the Régime du corps, this health guide would become popular and influential, with nearly seventy surviving copies made over the next two hundred years and translations in at least four other languages. In Visualizing Household Health, art historian Jennifer Borland uses the Régime to show how gender and health care converged within the medieval household. Visualizing Household Health explores the nature of the households portrayed in the Régime and how their members interacted with professionalized medicine. Borland focuses on several illustrated versions of the manuscript that contain historiated initials depicting simple scenes related to health care, such as patients’ consultations with physicians, procedures like bloodletting, and foods and beverages recommended for good health. Borland argues that these images provide important details about the nature of women’s agency in the home—and offer highly compelling evidence that women enacted multiple types of health care. Additionally, she contends, the Régime opens a window onto the history of medieval women as owners, patrons, and readers of books. Interdisciplinary in scope, this book broadens notions of the medieval medical community and the role of women in medieval health care. It will be welcomed by scholars and students of women’s history, art history, book history, and the history of medicine.

Notes on "Camp"
Author: Susan Sontag
Publisher: Picador
ISBN: 1250621348
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 29
Book Description
From one of the greatest prose stylists of any generation, the essay that inspired the theme of the 2019 Met Gala, Camp: Notes on Fashion Many things in the world have not been named; and many things, even if they have been named, have never been described. One of these is the sensibility—unmistakably modern, a variant of sophistication but hardly identical with it—that goes by the cult name of “Camp.” So begins Susan Sontag’s seminal essay “Notes on ‘Camp.’ ” Originally published in 1964 and included in her landmark debut essay collection Against Interpretation, Sontag’s notes set out to define something that even the most well-informed could describe only as “I know it when I see it.” At once grounded in a sweeping history (Louis XIV was pure Camp) and entirely provisional, Camp delights in low and high culture alike. Tiffany lamps, the androgynous beauty of Greta Garbo, King Kong (1933), and Mozart all embody the Camp sensibility for Sontag—an almost ineffable blend of artifice, extravagance, playfulness, and a deadly seriousness. At the time Sontag published her essay, Camp, as a subversion of sexual norms, had also become a private code of signification for queer communities. In nearly every genre and form—from visual art, décor, and fashion to writing, music, and film—Camp continues to be redefined today, as seen in the 2019 Met Gala that took Sontag’s essay as the basis for its theme. “Style is everything,” Sontag tells us, and as Time magazine points out, “ ‘Notes on “Camp” ’ launched a new way of thinking,” paving the way for a whole new style of cultural criticism, and describing what is, in many ways, the defining sensibility of our culture today.

Book Description
DonBeing a firefighter is not just a job for me. It's a mission. As soon as that bell rings and I put on my protective gear, I'm all business. One false move could cost a life. Rescue Four is the best in Williamsport.One night a deadly fire almost kills my best friend and squad mate, Corey. A fire I know is the result of arson. As the squad investigator, it's my responsibility to get to the bottom of what happened that night. When the leading investigator at headquarters shows himself useless, I resort to working with Jocelyn, Corey's twin sister. It's enough figuring out how I'm going to solve this case while also keeping her safe. The biggest challenge is figuring out how to get her to trust that I won't hurt her like the men in her past.JocelynMen can't be trusted when it comes to matters of the heart. That's not me being bitter. It's a reality that I've learned from experience. Now, I use my skills as a private investigator to help women find out the truth. I'm happy doing it, and it affords me a good living.While I don't hate all men, I do believe most are unapologetic cheaters. As such, I don't have any false notions of riding off into the sunset with one or getting my happily ever after. It's an easy stance to keep up as long as I stay away from the one man who brings out a longing in me I didn't know was still there.Distance proves difficult when I discover someone is after Rescue Four, and that same someone is responsible for my brother's injury. Once I step in to help Don, I have to remind myself falling for him is not an option. No matter how many nights he ends up in my bed.Love only leads to heartbreak.Unfortunately, I soon have to contend that Don is not only good at putting out fires. He's adept when it comes to starting them too. The fiery blaze of want and desire he ignites.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
In Nora Zelevansky's charming second novel, Will You Won't You Want Me?, Marjorie soon realizes only she can decide: who is the real Marjorie Plum? Marjorie Plum isn't your average washed up prom queen. After all, her New York City prep school was too cool for a royal court. Yet, ten years after high school graduation, she is undeniably stuck in the past and aching for that metaphorical tiara. But when her life takes an unexpected turn, she is forced to start over, moving in to a tiny box of an apartment in Brooklyn with a musician roommate who looks like a pixie and talks like the Dalai Lama. Desperate to pay rent, she starts tutoring a precocious 11-year-old girl-who becomes the unknowing Ghost of Marjorie Past, beginning a surprise-filled journey towards adulthood, where she learns about herself from the most unlikely sources: a rekindled childhood love, a grumpy (but strangely adorable) new boss, even her tutee.
