Описание: Dance prodigy, sex symbol, gay pioneer, cultural icon--Vaslav Nijinsky rose to fame as the star of the Ballets Russes in Paris before mental illness stole his career and the last thirty years of his life. A tragic story of a great genius, this compelling work of narrative nonfiction chronicles a life of obsessive artistry, celebrity, and notoriety. With one grand leap off the stage at the 1909 premiere of the Ballets Russes's inaugural season, Nijinsky became an overnight sensation and the century's first superstar, in the days before moving pictures brought popular culture to the masses. Perhaps the greatest dancer of the twentieth century, Nijinsky captured audiences with his sheer animal magnetism and incredible skill. He was also half of the most famous (and openly gay) couple of the Edwardian era: his relationship with Serge Diaghilev, artistic director and architect of the Ballets Russes, pushed boundaries in a time when homosexuality and bisexuality were rarely discussed. Nijinsky's life was tumultuous--after marrying a female groupie he hardly knew, he was kicked out of the Ballets Russes and placed under house arrest during World War I. Unable to work as he once did, his mental health deteriorated, and he spent three decades in and out of institutions. Biographical narrative is interspersed with spotlights on the ballets the dancer popularized: classic masterworks such as Afternoon of a Faun, The Firebird, and of course, the shockingly original Rite of Spring, which caused the audience to riot at its premiere. Illustrated with elegant, intimate portraits as well as archival art and photographs.

Описание: ""It so happens that the work which is likely to be our most durable monument, and to convey some knowledge of us to the most remote posterity, is a work of bare utility; not a shrine, not a fortress, but a bridge.""
So wrote one architectural critic of the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the grandest and most eloquent monuments to the American spirit that our country has produced. Its magnificent site, breathtaking span, cutting-edge technology, and sheer beauty have made it the subject of poems, paintings, photographs, novels, plays, and movies.
Beneath the Brooklyn Bridge's triumphant arches lie astonishing tales of death, deception, genius, and daring. Over the fourteen-year course of its construction, there were many deaths, including that of John A. Roebling, designer and chief engineer; an underwater fire; and even fraud.
Finally, though, the bridge was finished, and as part of the opening day festivities, the president, and two mayors crossed it.
In this stunning visual history, Lynn Curlee tells the fascinating story of the history and construction of the "Eighth Wonder of the World."

I feel it is my responsibility to provide an avenue for young children to learn about God and his promises. Raising a child in this world can be scary and difficult; therefore, I am dedicated to using the gifts I have been blessed with to influence the lives of children and their parents. My son has been my biggest source of inspiration. He has inspired me to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a professional author. I have now completed my first Christian children's book. The main character of this book, Mommy, Tell Me about God, is also my biggest inspiration-my son, Ian.
While our life experiences shape our outlook on life, they also guide the way we pursue our future interests. My name is Sharanika Curlee I was born and raised in a small town called Corinth MS. Getting to know God for myself, I quickly realized the importance of giving back. I have been blessed to work in a variety of settings and had the opportunity to encounter many people, whom I have been blessed to spread the word of God. I have worked as a optician for 14 years, certified financial loan officer for 3 years, licensed cosmetologist for 12 years and jewelry designer 10 years. While wearing many hats throughout my career I have been blessed to cross paths with many people to whom I was able to grace with God's word. I have always had a desire to make a greater impact. As a single parent to a five-year-old son, I understand the importance of rearing him in a manner that provides him with the foundation to become a happy, healthy, young man with a heart for not only serving God, but also to be a vessel of hope and help to others. In today's society, there are always opportunities to do wrong and become engulfed in a way of life that produces unfavorable results. Teach them early and if they stray they have the knowledge that was instilled in them at a young age to find their way back to God.
