Two young people, one faith and a shared passion for the truth of God’s Word – that was the beginning of the story of Francis and Edith Schaeffer. Together, they wanted to follow wherever God would lead them and to share the Good News about Jesus with whoever God would send them. But little did they imagine that God would lead them to a remote village in the mountains of Switzerland. Nor did they foresee how God would use their ministry in that little mountain chalet to impact people all over the world. Francis and Edith Schaeffer opened their home to anyone searching for truth. They spent their whole lives helping people to see that the Bible’s answers to life’s questions are relevant and true; in their time, and for all time. The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today.

The comprehensive story of an icon of modern architecture: the Edith Farnsworth House, designed by Mies van der Rohe One of the most famous residences in modern history, a glass and steel marvel that seems to float above its site, the Edith Farnsworth House had been legendary in the public imagination long before it could be widely accessed. This book charts the house’s original design by Mies van der Rohe and periods of neglect, flooding, and new ownership by Lord Peter Palumbo. Now publicly accessible and celebrating twenty years of being owned and administered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this icon of modern architecture commissioned by client and patron Edith Farnsworth now gets its due. The Edith Farnsworth House is one of the most prized residences in modern architectural history, whose sometimes fraught history culminates in its publicly accessible life today. The book, which newly foregrounds the key role of client Edith Farnsworth, is written and edited by Michelangelo Sabatino, who contributes deep expertise on modernist architecture, and includes an essay by architectural historian Dietrich Neumann, excerpts of Edith Farnsworth’s unpublished memoir, as well as interviews with Mies’s grandson Dirk Lohan, and the house’s second owner, Lord Peter Palumbo. Published in association with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this book is published is a trove of cultural and visual history, and includes photographs by Hedrich Blessing, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Annie Leibovitz, in addition to documentation of cultural collaborations with artists, designers, and performance troupes such as Virgil Abloh, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, and Gerard & Kelly.

«Egentlig krever vi at pionerkvinnen ikke bare skal bryte barrierer, men i tillegg overgå sine mannlige kolleger» Edith Carlmar var Norges første kvinnelige filmregissør. Gjennom 1950-tallet produserte hun flere filmer som gjorde stor suksess i sin samtid. Disse har siden blitt stemplet som B-filmer, og Carlmar er i ferd med å bli glemt. Har hun blitt dømt for hardt, og på hvilket grunnlag? Toril Moi drøfter filmene og reflekterer rundt filmkunst og filmhåndverk, kultursnobberi og urimelige forventninger. Dette essayet er del av en foredragsserie om kultur og liv i 1950-tallets Norge. På jakt etter forståelse av landet og tiåret hun selv ble født i, undersøker Toril Moi kulturuttrykk fra perioden. Prosjektet er både personlig og historisk. Uten å forstå Norge kan hun heller ikke forstå seg selv.
Rocky & Edith är historien om hur Martin Kellerman blir kär och lämnar sin lycka i en annan persons galna händer. Det är en berättelse om kärlek, svartsjuka, längtan och ensamhet. Men framför allt är det en väldigt rolig bok om ganska allvarliga saker.”Den här historien, som är hämtad från Kellermans eget liv, berättas genom några hundra seriesidor, som inte bara står på egna ben med fantastiska oneliners, utan också målar upp en bild om oss och om vår tid, vad som händer just nu, som vilken författare som helst skulle skära av sig ena handen för att åstadkomma, för det är det som är så jäkla svårt att få tag på: tonen vi pratar i, sakerna vi är upptagna av, kunskapen om världen vi har. Kellermans öra för den tonen är absolut.” Ur Karl Ove Knausgårds förordMartin Kellerman (f. 1972) är serietecknare som i tjugo år ritade serien Rocky. En generationsskildring som samlats i drygt trettio album i Sverige och runt om i världen.
Remembering Edith Alice Müller

Edith Alicia Müller (1918-1995) was the IAU General Secretary from 1976 to 1979, the first woman to have this responsibility. Many friends, students and colleagues, and others who have met Edith at different occasions, give in this book their memories of her. Her fundamental work in solar physics concerned the chemical composition of the Sun, the time variation of its infra-red spectrum, and its thermal structure. Her interests were, however, far broader than that. She was heavily involved in international work for the teaching of astronomy and for the exchange program of young astronomers.

A Historical Guide to Edith Wharton provides scholarly and general readers with historical contexts that illuminate Wharton's life and writing in new, exciting ways. The essays in this volume expand our sense of Wharton as a novelist of manners and reflect the latest developments in new historicism and cultural studies. Like many other literary women, Edith Wharton overcame prejudice to enter the world of letters. Wharton stood at the historical crossroads between the literary models of sentimental lady writer and modern professional author, and her work navigates accordingly between Victorian and modern sensibilities. Writing at a time of great social and economic change, Wharton records the changes brought about by Darwinism, urbanization, capitalism, feminism, world war, and eugenics, converying these cultural transformations with unforgettable detail and realism. This compelling collection of original essays illuminates Edith Wharton's vivid and incisive fiction against the backdrop of old New York, bringing one of our most important American novelists to life within the context of the society she so memorably chronicled and confronted.
