Описание: A dramatic and remarkable narrative of an extraordinary teacher's determination, from the author of the "Sunday Times" bestsellers "The Tiger's Child" and "One Child". Torey Hayden faced six emotionally troubled kids no other teacher could handle - three recent arrivals from battle-torn Northern Ireland, badly traumatised by the horrors of war; an eleven-year-old boy, who only knew life inside an institution; an excitable girl, aggressive and sexually precocious at the age of eight; and seven-year-old Leslie, perhaps the most hopeless of all, unresponsive and unable to speak. But Torey's most daunting challenge turns out to be Leslie's mother, a stunning young doctor who soon discovers that she needs Torey's love and help just as much as the children. "Just Another Kid" is a beautiful illustration of nurturing concern, not only for a few emotionally disturbed children, but for one woman facing a personal battle.

Описание:

A master of what he called the sculpturing of space, Isamu Noguchi was a vital figure for modern public art. Born to an American mother and a Japanese father, Noguchi never felt like he belonged anywhere and spent his life assembling identities in his statues, monuments, and gardens. He traveled incessantly from New York to remote Japanese islands, from Paris to Bangladesh, synthesizing aesthetic values. The result--massive sculptures of interlocking wood, Zen-like gardens of granite, and stone slides--is now seen as a powerful artistic link between East and West.

Drawing on Noguchi's personal correspondence and interviews with artists, patrons, assistants, and lovers, Hayden Herrera creates another compulsively readable biography of one of the twentieth century's most important artists. Noguchi was elusive, forever uprooting himself to reinvigorate what he called the keen edge of originality. Yet Herrera locates this man in his friendships with artists like Buckminster Fuller and Arshile Gorky, and in his affairs with women like Frida Kahlo. Herrera reveals his playfulness and his intense immersion in his work, from designing sets for Martha Graham to creating the Noguchi Museum in Queens.

A rich meditation on art in a globalized milieu, Listening to Stone is a moving portrait of an artist compulsively driven to reinvent himself as he searched for his own essence of sculpture.

Описание: What is it that makes humans predisposed to believing in the unknown, the supernatural or higher beings? In this study, Brian Hayden takes a brave step towards defining the basic principles of religion, and its evolution, from hunter-gatherers to early Christianity. He begins by differentiating between traditional religions which are based on oral learning or experience, and those based on texts, scriptures and codes. From here, he examines the ideas and values which are termed religion' and argues that they are directed by ecological factors and emotional foundation by which humans are open to enter sacred ecstatic states' through procedures such as fasting, meditation, sex and trance. Beginning with early hunter-gatherers and concepts of shamanism and early ritual, Hayden addresses the debate over Neanderthal rituals, discusses the emergence of megalith building, mystery and fertility cults, and explores the religions of early states and empires with a broad range of representative examples. A broad and uniquely archaeological perspective on the evolution of religious behaviour from prehistoric times to the present.'
