Sybil Andrews was one of Canada's most prominent artists working throughout the late twentieth century. From a cottage by the sea in Campbell River, Andrews created striking linocut prints steeped in feeling and full of movement. Inspired by the working-class community that she lived in, her art is known for its honest depiction of ordinary people at work and play on Canada's West Coast.
Although she was raised in Bury St Edmunds, England, On the Curve focuses on Andrews' life after she immigrated to Canada in 1947. Settling in Campbell River, Andrews taught private art and music lessons and created artwork that gained her recognition across the globe. In the final years of her life, retrospective exhibitions of her prints in Canada and Britain skyrocketed her popularity. Prints of her artwork became even more valuable after her death in 1992. In this first fully illustrated biography, author Janet Nicol weaves together stories from Andrews' letters, diaries and interviews from her former students and friends, creating a portrait of this determined, resilient and gifted British-Canadian artist. Andrews' work is as popular today as it was in her lifetime and continues to celebrate the cultural, industrial, agricultural and natural world of Canada's West Coast.

Описание: A textbook that introduces integrated, sustainable design of urban infrastructures, drawing on civil engineering, environmental engineering, urban planning, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science.
This textbook introduces urban infrastructure from an engineering perspective, with an emphasis on sustainability. Bringing together both fundamental principles and practical knowledge from civil engineering, environmental engineering, urban planning, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science, the book transcends disciplinary boundaries by viewing urban infrastructures as integrated networks.
The text devotes a chapter to each of five engineering systems--electricity, water, transportation, buildings, and solid waste--covering such topics as fundamentals, demand, management, technology, and analytical models. Other chapters present a formal definition of sustainability; discuss population forecasting techniques; offer a history of urban planning, from the Neolithic era to Kevin Lynch and Jane Jacobs; define and discuss urban metabolism and infrastructure integration, reviewing system interdependencies; and describe approaches to urban design that draw on complexity theory, algorithmic models, and machine learning. Throughout, a hypothetical city state, Civitas, is used to explain and illustrate the concepts covered. Each chapter includes working examples and problem sets. An appendix offers tables, diagrams, and conversion factors. The book can be used in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in civil engineering and as a reference for practitioners. It can also be helpful in preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exams.
Sybil Rides tells the inspiring true story of events during the American Revolution which resulted in sixteen-year old Sybil Ludington becoming known as the Female Paul Revere. Her ride took place during an event in American History designed by the British commanders to bring an end to the Revolutionary War.
On a cold rainy night in the spring of 1777, the British Regular Army, along with some Loyalists, attacked and burned Danbury, Connecticut. That raid was part of Lord William Howe's plan to end the Revolution. During the raid a messenger was sent to the home of Colonel Henry Ludington asking for help. The Colonel's sixteen-year old daughter, Sybil, bravely rode forty miles on that cold rainy night throughout the Hudson Valley to call the Militia to action.
On her ride Sybil stopped quickly at each home, banged on the doors and windows, and yelled, "Call to arms The Regulars and Tories are burning Danbury The Militia is needed Call to arms " Families woke. Men dressed quickly. They grabbed their muskets, and headed into the night to face a powerful enemy. Sybil's brave ride earned her the nickname, The Female Paul Revere.
A larger than life monument honoring Sybil Ludington, stands in Carmel, New York along the route where she made her historic ride. It shows her riding on her horse as she rode to call out the Militia.
This story starts at the beginning of the Revolutionary War with Paul Revere in a rowboat in Boston Harbor, two years before Sybil's ride.
From there it goes to Lexington, Massachusetts, where we see the Militia who responded to Revere's call. They stood and faced the might of the powerful British Army.
We then watch the war shift to New York.
All the events and characters in this book are historical.
This story tells the true story of Sybil Ludington and of her father, Colonel Henry Ludington, his family, and other unsung heroes.
In this book you will meet British officers and their Loyalists allies and see the conflicts between them.
You will see the brave, yet funny way Sybil and her siblings stop the Loyalists attempt to capture their father.
You will meet Enoch Crosby, a friend of the Ludingtons, who served as a spy in the struggle for independence.
You will meet Jacob Angevine, a former slave who earned his freedom and that of his family, by serving in the French and Indian War. You will also meet Joseph, his teenage son, who is a friend of Sybil Ludington and a brave member of the Colonel Ludington's Militia.
You will meet John Gano the famous Fighting Preacher and his friend, Haym Salomon, a Jewish immigrant who helped get funding for the Revolution.
You will meet Daniel Nimham, Sachem (chief) of the Wappinger Indians and his son Abraham, true unsung American heroes who sacrificed everything.

"Unsettling in the best way, Riddance is a lush, gothic novel." --Maris Kreizman, The Cut
"A ravishing novel charged with the idea of the incommunicable." ―The New Yorker
Eleven-year-old Jane Grandison, tormented by her stutter, sits in the back seat of a car, letter in hand inviting her to live and study at the Sybil Joines Vocational School for Ghost Speakers & Hearing-Mouth Children. Founded in 1890 by Headmistress Sybil Joines, the school --at first glance--is a sanctuary for children seeking to cure their speech impediments. Inspired by her haunted and tragic childhood, the Headmistress has other ideas.
Pioneering the field of necrophysics, the Headmistress harnesses the "gift" she and her students possess. Through their stutters, together they have the ability to channel ghostly voices communicating from the land of the dead, a realm the Headmistress herself visits at will. Things change for the school and the Headmistress when a student disappears, attracting attention from parents and police alike.
Set in the overlapping worlds of the living and the dead, Shelley Jackson's Riddance is an illuminated novel told through theoretical writings in necrophysics, the Headmistress's dispatches from the land of the dead, and Jane's evolving life as Joines's new stenographer and central figure in the Vocational School's mysterious present, as well as its future.

Описание: The Revolutionary War in the Hudson Valley inspired the rise of heroes and heroines alike. On a rainy night in 1777, sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington mounted her beloved horse and rode forty miles through enemy-infested Putnam County to warn her father's regiment of impending British raids. Riding twice the distance of Paul Revere and under more dire circumstances, her heroic efforts helped position the Continental army in subsequent battles. A widow at a young age, Sybil became a successful businesswoman in a male-dominated profession and lived in the region for her remaining years. Through family documents and correspondence, author Vincent T. Dacquino charts the incredible life and legacy of Sybil Ludington.
