Описание: Fred Bauer writes about Rockwell's message of optimism and the artist's faith in America and its people in a forthright and sympathetic text complemented by numerous Rockwell favourites in all their warmth and colour. Bauer visits Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and Arlington, Vermont, talking to the people who lived with Rockwell and posed for his anecdotal pictures, the people about whom the artist said, "If you are interested in the characters you draw and understand them and love them, why, the people who see your pictures are bound to feel the same way." This lovely book enables us to partake once again of that unique love and understanding that Norman Rockwell still communicates to America.

Описание: In Roaming into the Beyond Zornica Kirkova provides the first detailed study in a Western language of Daoism-inspired themes in early medieval Chinese poetry. She examines representations of Daoist xian immortality in a broad range of versified literature from the Han until the end of the Six Dynasties, focusing on the transformations of themes, concepts, and imagery within a wide literary and religious context. Adopting a more integrated approach, the author explores both the complex interaction between poetry and Daoist religion and the interrelations between various verse forms and poetic themes. This book not only enhances our understanding of the complexities of early medieval literature but also reevaluates the place of Daoist religious thought in the intellectual life of the period.

Описание: If you live abroad and see yourself neither as an expat nor as an immigrant, that's not surprising. Those are 20th century concepts for 20th century ways of living. They continue to exist in the 21st century, but millions of people are living in a new way that's having a profound impact on cities, societies and economies, yet it's hiding in plain sight. This lifestyle is roaming. Featured in Forbes, Monocle, and Italy's leading newspaper La Corriere della Sera, roaming has been labelled a "megatrend" by trend forecasting agency Nelly Rodi. easyJet Traveller magazine calls Roaming, "this generation's manifesto." Roamers make an active choice to live internationally because they can find better jobs, more intellectual stimulation, or simply more adventure abroad. Roamers are distinct from immigrants and expats because they might stay in their host country for another year or they might stay for a lifetime. They're not lured overseas by a lucrative expat package. Also, unlike expats, roamers don't necessarily expect to repatriate to their home country, at least not for good. They often struggle with the once simple question, "Where's home?" One in ten Canadian, British and Swiss citizens live abroad, as do 7 million Americans and 20 percent of New Zealanders. Who are all these people, and why are they leaving their home countries? Roaming is a radical new way of living that defies age-old categories like "home" and "abroad" or "expats" and "immigrants." Roamers move from country to country with an ease and speed that was unheard of thirty years ago. But this new phenomenon raises questions for us all: How can societies cope with this constant flux? Can you really be at home abroad? What are the pleasures and pitfalls of living as a roamer? In this clever and timely anatomy of roaming, CM Patha crisscrosses the globe to cover these questions and ends up uncovering many, many more. Roaming is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand this fast-growing lifestyle and what it means for governments, societies, and roamers themselves.

Retrace Western North Carolina's cultural and natural history with one of its most beloved storytellers and folklorists, John Parris. Repackaged with an updated cover and back in print for the first time in decades, the Two Hoots Press Heritage Edition includes the complete original text and illustrations of this southern classic.
For almost four decades, John Parris' brief yet illuminating non-fiction essays comprised his popular Asheville-Citizen-Times column, -Roaming the Mountains.- When a selection of Parris' columns were first published as this book in 1955, it was an instant regional classic.
Parris writes with the crispness of Hemingway and the grace of Thomas Wolfe. Indeed, he was a war correspondent like Hemingway and a decorated hero for his work with the Belgian underground during World War II.
But the enduring legacy of John Parris is his work to document the culture and lives of Appalachian people. He was the last writer to capture many of the first person accounts recorded in this book. With every word, Parris links past to present in loving tribute to his Western North Carolina home, its mountains, and its people.
