Book Description
This story was inspired by a trip to the supermarket to purchase vanilla ice cream requested by her three young daughters. The chest freezer held some strange seasonal combinations but no vanilla. As the Pumpkin Carmel Ripple flavor was mentioned, the girls all made disgusting noises and faces so this story developed to make the most disgusting combination of flavors that any child, or adult for that matter, could image. The final twist to that day was going home and making Kick-the-can ice cream. It was fun and much more exciting to have the girls participate. And the day was a success after all. The idea for The Amazing Tale of Bub the Trier was to find a character who could possibly put together strange food combinations and come out with a totally unexpected success. The final twist in this story is that something wonderful did come out of the trying.

An unapologetic celebration of friendship and first crushes “Archie loves Zack!” “Zack loves Archie!” Everyone said it was so. But Archie hasn’t told Zack yet. And Zack hasn’t told Archie.

Over the course of a few months, Archie tries to write a letter to Zack to tell him how he feels: “From A to Z.” None of his drafts sound quite right, so he hides them all away. One by one, Archie’s friends (Zelda, Zinnia, and Zuzella) find the letters . . . but they know exactly whom they’re meant for. This new picture book from Vincent X.

European Glass in the J. Paul Getty Museum
Author: Catherine Hess
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892362553
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The Getty Museum’s collection of postclassical European glass represents a well-defined chapter within the history of the medium. These objects—which range in date from the late Middle Ages to the late seventeenth century—originated in important Italian, German, Bohemian, Netherlandish, Silesian, and Austrian centers of production. The sixty-eight pieces presented in this catalogue include vessels made to resemble rock crystal or chalcedony; glass blown into unusually large or remarkably refined shapes; and glass decorated with ornament that is intricately applied, elegantly enameled, or gilded. Each object is described in detail, including provenance, bibliography, and relevant comparative examples. An introductory essay traces the history of European glass from classical times to the present.

Portals to the Past and to the Future
Author: Jürgen Seefeldt
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783487155630
Category : Libraries
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
The advent of the digital era has raised questions on the future course of library development. The challenge of maintaining a balance between their educational, cultural and service roles has presented libraries with new challenges - challenges which their rich and varied media holdings, modern technical infrastructure and information specialist competence well equip them to face. This fourth revised and updated English edition of "Portals to the Past and to the Future" by Jürgen Seefeldt and Ludger Syré, now in its fifth German edition, is an in-depth state-of-the art report on current German librarianship. Lavishly illustrated, the book traces the history of libraries in Germany, portrays the various types of library and cites many examples of the outstanding achievements of nationwide library cooperation in the Federal Republic of Germany. The reader will gain both a revealing insight into the cultural and educational policy underlying the German library system and an outline of the profession. Special attention has been paid to current developments such as the preservation and presentation of the common cultural heritage and the emergence of the digital library. This book has been translated not only into English but also into Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Russian and Turkish and is now the standard work on libraries and librarianship in Germany. Because of the interest it has generated internationally, it was decided to publish the German and English versions of this new edition simultaneously. The book provides trainee librarians and non-librarians alike with a clear picture of the way in which libraries were able to cooperate in the aftermath of the Second World War to overcome the vagaries of the federal system and create an effective decentralized library network more than a match for the challenges of the third millennium.
