Описание: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "The story of modern medicine and bioethics--and, indeed, race relations--is refracted beautifully, and movingly."--Entertainment Weekly

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM HBO(R) STARRING OPRAH WINFREY AND ROSE BYRNE - ONE OF THE "MOST INFLUENTIAL" (CNN), "DEFINING" (LITHUB), AND "BEST" (THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER) BOOKS OF THE DECADE - ONE OF ESSENCE'S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS - WINNER OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE HEARTLAND PRIZE FOR NONFICTION

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review - Entertainment Weekly - O: The Oprah Magazine - NPR - Financial Times - New York - Independent (U.K.) - Times (U.K.) - Publishers Weekly - Library Journal - Kirkus Reviews - Booklist - Globe and Mail

Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells--taken without her knowledge--became one of the most important tools in medicine: The first "immortal" human cells grown in culture, which are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb's effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions.

Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave.

Henrietta's family did not learn of her "immortality" until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials, her family never saw any of the profits. As Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly shows, the story of the Lacks family--past and present--is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of.

Over the decade it took to uncover this story, Rebecca became enmeshed in the lives of the Lacks family--especially Henrietta's daughter Deborah. Deborah was consumed with questions: Had scientists cloned her mother? Had they killed her to harvest her cells? And if her mother was so important to medicine, why couldn't her children afford health insurance?

Intimate in feeling, astonishing in scope, and impossible to put down, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks captures the beauty and drama of scientific discovery, as well as its human consequences.

Описание: Respected author and designer Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill’s newest book inspires us to incorporate time-tested design principles into modern living. A noted authority on period homes and historic styles, Henrietta Spencer-Churchill celebrates the life of great rooms over the years and the evolution of their architectural features and interior decoration. Featuring a stunning selection of historic homes in both England and the United States, The Life of the House reveals the best of architectural and furnishing details from the last three hundred years, with ideas on updating these spaces for modern times. The book is organized by room, including the living room, from formal reception rooms to the modern-day family room; the library, once a gentleman’s retreat and now often a home office or den; the dining room, once a formal status symbol, now frequently a casual open-plan room; and the kitchen, once a servants’ area, now a multifunctional family space. Chapters on creative modern uses of such traditional rooms as ballrooms and conservatories are also included. With photographs of exquisite interiors from every important historical period and Spencer-Churchill’s fascinating text revealing life behind the scenes in these houses, this book is filled with creative ideas on incorporating traditional style into contemporary settings.

Описание: In its classic union of gleaming silver and blue turquoise, Native American jewellery of the Southwest is an iconic art form. Internationally recognized and locally significant, Native American jewellery has a compelling history--it represents the persistence of tradition while encapsulating the vitality of Native American communities and the continuously transforming nature of the jewellery makers' art.
Author Henrietta Lidchi focuses on jewellery in the cultural economy of the Southwest, exploring jewellery making as a decorative art form in constant transition. She describes the jewellery as subject to a number of desires, controlled at different times by government agencies, individual entrepreneurs, traders, curators, and Native American communities. Lidchi explores the jewellery as craft, material culture, commodity, and adornment. Considering the impact of tourism, she discusses fakes in the market and the artists' desires to codify traditional styles, explaining how these factors can affect stylistic development and value. Surviving Desires suggests the complexity and reinvention innate to Native American jewellery as a commercial craft.
Drawing on the author's archival research and on interviews she conducted with Native American jewellers and with traders, dealers, and curators, this volume examines British collecting, exchanges between British and American institutions, and the development of the British Museum's contemporary collection.
Lavishly illustrated with 300 color photographs of jewellery in the British Museum, the National Museums Scotland, and major collections in the United States, Surviving Desires presents many previously unpublished pieces and showcases works by Native American jewellers who include the best-known names in the field today. The volume is a visually stunning exploration of the symbolic, economic, and communal value of jewellery in the American Southwest.

Описание:

Have you ever seen a butterfly in the snow?

Probably not. Butterflies can't survive cold weather, so when winter comes, many butterflies fly to warmer places. They migrate.

Woodchucks don't like cold weather either but they don't migrate; they hibernate. Woodchucks sleep in their dens all winter long. Read and find out how other animals cope with winter's worst weather.

Описание: The convergence of rock music, counterculture politics and avant-garde aesthetics in the late 1960s underscored the careers of the Beatles, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and the Velvet Underground. This book examines these artists` relationship to the historical avant-garde and the neo-avant-garde, considering their work in light of debates about modernism versus postmodernism.

Описание: This book is for children of all ages and adults too despite the categorisation: the author's concept when she writes the Henratty Mortimer series of books is to give the parents just as much enjoyment in reading the book to their children who are enjoying listening to the book being read. The author decided to use meerkats when she saw these adorable and very funny creatures on her trip to Newquay Zoo in Cornwall as they made her chuckle so much. There is a character that every individual (child or adult) will love. From series 2 to 5 of Henratty Mortimer books the meerkat always have some sort of mystery to solve, the author never planned it that way but when she took pen to paper the stories seem to unfold and flow almost of their own accord.This book starts to develop the wonderful meerkat characters a lot more especially Henratty Mortimer and Jack Brian, the reader begins to see their competitive nature as they are so alike but do not realise it, whereas the two younger siblings, Lyndi Lou Mortimer and Oscar Brian are the quieter, more focused siblings whom have the same interests and really get on. Henratty and Jack are like two little detectives and love to solve a mystery, especially Jack and no matter the danger Jack has no fear as he loves an adventure. This book shows how clever these two meerkat characters can be when they try to solve this mystery which involves saving the life of Misha Mortimer, Henratty's eldest sister from the evil monster lurking in the woods. The story is depicted by 27 stunning and vivid colour illustrations. The author would love her books to be made into animation as she has many other wonderful animal characters and not just the meerkats that can be found in the third and fourth series of the books and the author has already written four poem picture books based on the other animal characters to publish, such as Poppy The Most Beautiful Worm and Enoch and Escargot's Snail Trail. Again, these books also have an underlying value and are very witty.Other books by Henrietta Defreitas with value: Oscar's Birthday - Share and share alike - 'the green-eyed monster'We Were Only Strawberry Picking - Love thy neighbourSkylark - Keep your friends close but your enemies closerThe Witch's Broth - Love moves in mysterious ways

Описание: This book is where the concept of the Henratty Mortimer series begins and is fundamentally an introduction to the main meerkat animal characters: Henratty, Lyndi Lou, Jack and Oscar that the author then develops throughout the series of books. Readers will get a sense of which characters are more mischievous than some, but they all have their special individual qualities so readers can choose their favourite. The author also introduces the reader to the magical place the meerkats live in called, The Land of Arkavale and finally the mythical meerkat superheroes, The MightyKats, which will feature more in the rest of the series of books. The underlying value is 'Green with Envy' or rather not to be. All the authors books in the series are written with an underlying value. This book has 20 wonderful gloss colour illustrations.Other books by Henrietta Defreitas with value: The Meervillle Myth - Good will always conquer evilWe Were Only Strawberry Picking - Love thy neighbourSkylark - Keep your friends close but your enemies closerThe Witch's Broth - Love moves in mysterious ways
