Build this 1000-piece celebration of feminist art and take apart the patriarchy, one puzzle piece at a time! Join twenty-five of the art world’s greatest feminist figures as they come together to curate, celebrate and share their stories. Spot friends Frida Kahlo and Elizabeth Catlett snapping a mirror selfie, Georgia O’Keeffe arranging a vase of her signature jimson weed, and Faith Ringgold and Louise Bourgeois chatting about their groundbreaking textile art. Look up to see the Guerrilla Girls swinging wildly from the chandeliers! Hidden within the illustration is a clever clue to the next puzzle in the series – can you find it? Brought to life in dazzling, maximalist detail by illustrator Laura Callagan, and steered by the curatorial expertise of Lydia Miller, this jigsaw puzzle brims with witty nods to the lives and work of its featured artists. Judy Chicago prepares a table for a dinner party, while Marina Abramovic drafts a manifesto. Sarah Lucas and Tracey Emin run a cheeky pop-up shop, while Yayoi Kusama transforms a gallery wall into a sea of dots. The scene pays homage not only to contemporary legends but also to trailblazers of the past. Spot painter and printmaker Mary Cassatt, along with Christina Broom, the UK’s first female press photographer known for her documentation of the suffragettes. The Great Feminist Art Party reaches even further back, spotlighting Artemisia Gentileschi, whose courageous work shattered barriers and continues to inspire generations of feminists. Included with the puzzle is a concertina fold-out, featuring an introduction to feminism in art, a large reproduction of the jigsaw illustration with a detailed key, and fascinating biographies of the twenty-five individuals depicted.

BRONZE award winner, MadeForMums Awards 2021 BRONZE award winner, Junior Design Awards, 'Best Designed / Illustrated Book For Children' category Marvellous Magicians celebrates the work of eight pioneering illusionists, both famous and under-represented, whose tricks have been the making of modern magic. Through a magical blend of biography, history and illustration, it brings these amazing magicians and their illusions into the spotlight. They include one of the first female magicians, Adelaide Herrmann, and African American illusionist Richard Potter, alongside such well-known greats as Houdini and his namesake and inspiration, Houdin. Two spectacular fold-out pages reveal the secret workings of the Automata Chess Player and Howard Thurston’s dramatic transformation of an empty box into a world of wonders, while themed spreads explore the early history of magic, the eight effects of magic on which all tricks are based, the magician’s tool box, and the under-appreciated role of the magician’s assistant. For its finale, Marvellous Magicians explores the hidden societies who have kept the secrets of illusions closely guarded for decades, provides advice on becoming a magician and introduces readers to contemporary magicians from around the world including Australia, China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK and USA. Written in a theatrical style and illustrated with original gouache paintings, Marvellous Magicians is the perfect book for all aspiring magicians.
The Color Bind

The Color Bind

Lydia Chávez

University of California Press
1998

"The Color Bind" tells the story of how Glynn Custred and Thomas Wood, two unknown academics, decided to write "Proposition 209" in 1992 and thereby set in motion a series of events, far beyond their control, destined to transform the legal, political, and everyday meaning of civil rights for the next generation. Going behind the mass media coverage of the initiative, Lydia Chavez narrates the complex underlying motivations and maneuvering of the people, organizations, and political parties involved in the campaign to end affirmative action in California. For the first time, the role of University of California regent Ward Connerly in the campaign - one largely assigned to public relations - is put into perspective. In the course of the book Chavez also provides a rare behind-the-scenes journalistic account of the complex and fascinating workings of the initiative process. Chavez recreates the post-election climate of 1994, when the California Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI) appeared to be the right-time, right-place vehicle for Governor Pete Wilson and other Republican presidential prospects. President Clinton and the state Democratic Party thought the CCRI would splinter the party and jeopardize the upcoming presidential election. The Republicans, who saw the CCRI as a 'wedge issue' to use against the Democrats, found to their surprise that the initiative was much more divisive in their own party. Updating her text to include the most current material, Chavez deftly delineates the interplay of competing interests around the CCRI, and explains why the opposition was unsuccessful in its strategy to fight the initiative. Her analysis probes the momentous - and national - implications of this state initiative in shaping the future of affirmative action in this country.
Wren's 'Tracts' on Architecture and Other Writings

Wren's 'Tracts' on Architecture and Other Writings

Lydia M. Soo

Cambridge University Press
2007
pokkari
This is a scholarly examination of the theoretical work of one of the most important architects of early modern Europe. Trained as a scientist, Wren applied the seventeenth-century scientific methods to his study of ancient, medieval, Renaissance and contemporary architecture. From his study of ancient buildings, he posited a new version of the origins and development of the Classical style, thereby becoming one of the first to challenge theoretical principles of architecture that had been upheld since the Renaissance. Rejecting the idea of beauty as absolute and innate, Wren formulated an empirical definition, based on visual perception and custom. His acceptance of the relativity of beauty also led him to recognize the Gothic style, then disparaged by himself and his contemporaries throughout Europe, as a legitimate one that evolved within particular cultural circumstances. This edition of Wren's writings includes accurate, annotated transcriptions of the texts.
Second Language Acquisition and Universal Grammar

Second Language Acquisition and Universal Grammar

Lydia White

Cambridge University Press
2003
sidottu
This authoritative 2003 textbook provides an overview and analysis of current second language acquisition research conducted within the generative linguistic framework. Lydia White argues that second language acquisition is constrained by principles and parameters of Universal Grammar. The book focuses on characterizing and explaining the underlying linguistic competence of second language learners in terms of these contraints. Theories as to the role of Universal Grammar and the extent of mother tongue influence are presented and discussed, with particular consideration given to the nature of the interlanguage grammar at different points in development, from the initial state to ultimate attainment. Throughout the book, hypotheses maintaining that second language grammars are constrained by universal principles are contrasted with claims that Universal Grammar is not implicated; relevant empirical research is presented from both sides of the debate. This textbook is essential reading for those studying second language acquisition from a linguistic perspective.
