The Boy Whose Head Was Filled with Stars

The Boy Whose Head Was Filled with Stars

Isabelle Marinov

Enchanted Lion Books
2021
sidottu
This beautifully illustrated biography of Edwin Hubble explores the curiosity that he possessed from a young age, and the many questions that he asked about our universe. This book invites children to ponder these questions as well: How many stars are in the sky? How did the universe begin? Where did it come from?? A New York Public Library Best Book for Kids of 2021 ? A Marginalian (formerly Brain Pickings) Loveliest Children’s Book of 2021? A Bank Street College of Education Best Book of 2022, of Outstanding Merit? An Air & Space Magazine Best Children's Book of 2021 ? A EUREKA! Nonfiction Children's Book Honor Award Winner (California Reading Association)? Nominated for a 2023 Beehive Award for Children's Informational Books (Children's Literature Association of Utah)This is the story of Edwin Hubble, a boy fascinated by the stars who surmounted many hurdles to follow his dreams of becoming an astronomer. Using the insights of great mathematicians and endlessly observing the sky, he succeeded in confirming two things that altered human life forever: that there are more galaxies than our own, and that the universe is always expanding. Hubble’s message to us is to find peace in the vastness of the mystery surrounding us, and to be curious. “We do now know why we are born into the world,” he said, “but we can try to find out what sort of world it is.”

East Asian Aesthetics and the Space of Painting in Eighteenth-Century Europe

East Asian Aesthetics and the Space of Painting in Eighteenth-Century Europe

Isabelle Tillerot

GETTY TRUST PUBLICATIONS
2024
nidottu
This volume offers the first critical account of how European imports of East Asian textiles, porcelain, and lacquers, along with newly published descriptions of the Chinese garden, inspired a revolution in the role of painting in early modern Europe. With particular focus on French interiors, Isabelle Tillerot reveals how a European enthusiasm for East Asian culture and a demand for novelty transformed the dynamic between painting and decor. Models of space, landscape, and horizon, as shown in Chinese and Japanese objects and their ornamentation, disrupted prevailing design concepts in Europe. With paintings no longer functioning as pictorial windows, they began to be viewed as discrete images displayed on a wall—and with that, their status changed from decorative device to autonomous work of art. This study presents a detailed history of this transformation, revealing how an aesthetic free from the constraints of symmetry and geometrized order upended paradigms of display, enabling European painting to come into its own.

Vino Business

Isabelle Saporta

Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press
2016
nidottu
For centuries a bastion of tradition and the jewel in the crown of French viticulture, Bordeaux has in recent years become dogged by controversy, particularly regarding the 2012 classification of the wines of St.-Émilion, the most prestigious appellation of Bordeaux's right bank. St.-Émilion is an area increasingly dominated by big international investors, especially from China, who are keen to speculate on the area's wines and land, some of whose value has increased tenfold in the last decade alone. In the controversial 2012 classification, certain châteaux were promoted to a more prestigious class because of insider deals that altered the scoring system for the classification of wines into premier crus and grand crus. This system now takes into account the facilities of each château's tasting room, the size of its warehouse, and even the extent of its parking lot. The quality of the wine counts for just 30% of the total score for the wines of the top ranking, those deemed premier grand cru classé A. In Vino Business, Saporta shows how back-room deals with wine distributors, multinational investors like the luxury company LVMH, and even wine critics, have fundamentally changed this ancient business. Saporta also investigates issues of wine labelling and the use of pesticides, and draws comparisons to Champagne, Burgundy and the rest of the wine world. Based on two years of research and reporting, Vino Business draws back the curtain on the secret world of Bordeaux, a land ever more in thrall to the grapes of wealth.

Remember Me When: Navigating Through Alzheimer's Disease

Remember Me When: Navigating Through Alzheimer's Disease

Isabelle Angelite Ster

Reflections Publishing

Remember Me When is written and illustrated by kids and part of Reflections Publishing's "Kids Helping Kids Through Books" series. Remember Me When specifically addresses how to navigate through Alzheimer's disease with a loved one. The fiction stories in this series are written and illustrated from the fresh perspective of kids. With the stories written by child authors, child readers who are going through a difficult time can read these stories and have their feelings validated. By connecting with the children through a fiction story, it simply provides a start for the healing process. Because true healing requires a broad focus on emotional, educational, social, and even spiritual needs, this series also provides a non-fiction section for children (and parents) with the tools they need to navigate through these situations. Specifically, at the back of each book in this series, readers will find commentaries for dealing with difficult situations from experts in various fields (e.g., child psychologists, educators, therapists, and religious scholars). We believe this series will provide children with valuable tools to assist them in dealing with many real-life challenges. Description of Remember Me When: The cruel reality of Alzheimer's disease is that it steals from two groups of people. Individuals suffering from this form of dementia are callously robbed of their minds and memories over time. Just as heartbreaking, though, is the theft of the continued comfort and joy the Alzheimer's patients would have brought to their family members and loved ones as the disease progressively grows worse. Remember Me When is a heartfelt story that provides insight into the terrible crime that is Alzheimer's disease, as told from the perspective of an unlikely collateral victim -a child. Combining a touching story written by 8-year-old Isabelle Ster (whose grandfather, Papa Jerry, suffers from the disease), beautiful imagery from artist Emily Morgan, and expert advice on coping skills and interacting with those who suffer from this disease, Remember Me When will be a cherished resource to families and friends as they journey alongside a loved one with Alzheimer's disease.

This book tells the fascinating tale of a character like no other--Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) came to be known as the ultimate enigma and representative of everything that seemed dangerous in nineteenth-century society. In her short life Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) came to be known as the ultimate enigma and representative of everything that seemed dangerous in nineteenth-century society. Born the illegitimate daughter of an aristocratic Russian emigree she was a cross-dresser and sensualist, an experienced drug-taker and a transgressor of boundaries: a European reborn in the desert as an Arab and Muslim, a woman who reinvented herself as a man, wandering the Sahara on horseback. A profoundly lonely individual for all her numerous sexual adventures, she roused controversy and was loved and hated in equal measure. A mysterious attempt was made on her life and even her eventual death was ambiguous: she drowned in the desert at the age of twenty-seven. La bonne nomade, Isabelle's diaries, is a fascinating account of her strange and passionate nomadic lifestyle; an evocative and deeply personal record of her torments, her search for inspiration as a writer, her spirituality and the intense color and fire of her living.
