Book Description
In a dangerous time before her own...a dangerous attraction. Amelie Besson is on the cusp of attaining the life she's dreamed of-until she finds herself stuck in pre-war France, fifty years before her time. The country is about to be under German rule, but her most immediate problem is Henri Durand, the arrogant and infuriatingly handsome vineyard owner upon whom her survival depends. The fiercely protective Henri challenges everything Amelie holds true-particularly her hatred of the gift that brought her there in the first place. As the bond between them grows, Amelie will begin to wonder if the life she's returning to is actually the one she wants, and if her connection to Henri might be strong enough to surmount any obstacle...even time itself. *Across Time is Book Three in the Parallel Series and ends in a cliffhanger. "Across Time is my Top Read of 2019, hands down, no questions asked."-Amazon Best-Selling Author Maria Luis "Henri and Sarah ... the feels... the angst... the tension... DELICIOUS!" -Shhh Mom's Reading "The pace of the story and the character development was incredibly written...another EPIC read from this author. Across Time by Elizabeth O'Roark will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!" -Book Everlasting "This is the only writer who can lure me away from contemporary romance and have me reading not only paranormal but historical romance and loving every second of it!" -Book Addict "The excruciatingly slow burn of Amelie and Henri's romance...steadily builds up to a thunderous climax. A romantic suspense with a twist, this tale had me on the edge of my seat..." -Kindle Friends Forever "Oh my heck, I was awake all night reading... What a treat. From Elizabeth's gorgeous writing, the super sexy Henri, the historic France setting, the off-the-charts chemistry... Ahh!!!

Picasso and Rivera
Author: Michael Govan
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 3791355554
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Examining the artistic development of Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera, two towering figures in the world of modern art, this generously illustrated book tells an intriguing story of ambition, competition, and how the ancient world inspired their most important work. Picasso and Rivera: Conversations Across Time explores the artistic dialogue between Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera that spanned most of their careers. The book showcases nearly 150 iconic paintings, sculptures, and prints by both artists, along with objects from their native ancient Mediterranean and Pre- Columbian worlds. It gives an overview of their early training in national academies; important archaeological discoveries that occurred during their formative years; and their friendly and adversarial relationship in Montparnasse. A series of essays accompanies the exquisitely reproduced works, allowing readers to understand how the work of each artist was informed by artworks from the past. Picasso drew upon Classical art to shape the foundations of 20th-century art, creating images that were at once deeply personal and universal. Meanwhile, Rivera traded the abstractions of European modernism for figuration and references to Mexico’s Pre-Columbian civilization, focusing on public murals that emphasized his love of Mexico and his hopes for its future. Offering valuable insight into the trajectory of each artist, this book draws connections between two powerful figures who transformed modern art.

If you've looked up this book, chances are you're looking for something more than a casual date or another dead-end relationship.

As you progress through Soul Mates, you will: Explore the theory of reincarnation, karma, and the soul Perform meditations and exercises designed to help you open yourself to love and attract your soul mate Read actual case histories of soul mates from the author's private hypnotherapy practice The two of you have been together countless times before.

New Passages
Author: Gail Sheehy
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307763765
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Millions of readers literally defined their lives through Gail Sheehy's landmark bestseller Passages. Seven years ago she set out to write a sequel, but instead she discovered a historic revolution in the adult life cycle. . . People are taking longer to grow up and much longer to die. A fifty-year-old woman--who remains free of cancer and heart disease-- can expect to see her ninety-second birthday. Men, too, can expect a dramatically lengthened life span. The old demarcations and descriptions of adulthood--beginning at twenty-one and ending at sixty-five--are hopelessly out of date. In New Passages, Gail Sheehy discovers and maps out a completely new frontier--a Second Adulthood in middle life. "Stop and recalculate," Sheehy writes. "Imagine the day you turn forty-five as the infancy of another life." Instead of declining, men and women who embrace a Second Adulthood are progressing through entirely new passages into lives of deeper meaning, renewed playfulness, and creativity--beyond both male and female menopause. Through hundreds of personal and group interviews, national surveys of professionals and working-class people, and fresh findings extracted from fifty years of U.S. Census reports, Sheehy vividly dramatizes these newly developing stages. Combining the scholar's ability to synthesize data with the novelist's gift for storytelling, she allows us to make sense of our own lives by understanding others like us. New Passages tells us we have the ability to customize our own life cycle. This groundbreaking work is certain to awaken and permanently alter the way we think about ourselves. "SHEEHY CLEARLY STATES IDEAS ABOUT LIFE THAT HAVE NEVER BEFORE BEEN AS CLEARLY STATED." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "AN OPTIMISTIC ANALYSIS OF ADULT DEVELOPMENT IN PESSIMISTIC TIMES. . . It is grounded in the economic and psychological realities that make adult life so complex today." --The New York Times Book Review

Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Century of Northwest wilderness skiing stories by noted expert 150 black-and-white and color photographs Celebrates the friluftsliv, or open-air living spirit, of backcountry skiing In Written in the Snows, renowned local skiing historian Lowell Skoog presents a definitive and visually rich history of the past century of Northwest ski culture, from stirring and colorful stories of wilderness exploration to the evolution of gear and technique. He traces the development of skiing in Washington from the late 1800s to the present, covering the beginnings of ski resorts and competitions, the importance of wild places in the Olympic and Cascade mountains (including Oregon's Mount Hood), and the friluftsliv, or open-air living spirit, of backcountry skiing. Skoog addresses how skiing has been shaped by larger social trends, including immigration, the Great Depression, war, economic growth, conservation, and the media. In turn, Northwest skiers have affected their region in ways that transcend the sport, producing local legends like Milnor Roberts, Olga Bolstad, Hans Otto Giese, Bill Maxwell, and more. While weaving his own impressions and experiences into the larger history, Skoog shows that skiing is far more than mere sport or recreation.
