l'Esprit du Chemin is a guide and tale of pilgrimage on the Grand Chemin of the Saint James Way. The walk of this one thousand mile trail from Paris to Santiago is a journey through medieval Europe and two thousand years of the history of western civilization. Being designated as an UNESCO historic treasure has helped to attract the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who each year pass over the ancient roads and bridges enroute to pray at the tomb of Saint James in Santiago, Spain. Pilgrims who walk, cycle or ride a donkey have one thing in common. They are never the same after finishing.

Bright and bold and found everywhere in fin-de-sia cle Paris, the poster was a brilliant fusion of art and commerce. New printing methods made it possible to distribute and post vivid full-color prints, spurring both artists and advertisers to take advantage of these public canvases. During its golden age in Paris, the poster was acclaimed for enlivening city streets, even as it was decried for its raucous colors, overt commodification, sexualized female figures, and oversized imagery. Collectors raced to snap up these ephemeral art pieces, sparking a frenzied demand dubbed affichomania, complete with its own experts and specialized publications containing small-scale prints for the home.L'Affichomania: The Passion for French Posters is a lavishly illustrated collection of these posters focusing on the work of five masters: Jules Cheret, the acknowledged founder of the field, Eugane Grasset, Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Alphonse Mucha, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. All are drawn from the collection of Richard H. Driehaus. With rising auction prices and the popularity of modern reprints, it is clear that affichomania is here to stay.

Lessons On Virtually Everything (LOVE): A Collection of Words and Thoughts, Volume IV is Ms. Whitted's fourth book of poetry. Pulling from past and present experiences, this collection is a reminder that everything in life comes down to one important word - love. In Ms Whitted's own words: "Somewhere along the line, we placed limits on what love truly means. Love is so much more than romantic relationships or the feeling we get when we "fall in love". It should be the root of all that we do. "Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:7). When given to self first, love can't help but flow into each life we touch. The poems in this book are reflections of that love. They are things that I've seen, felt, and learned up to this point. It is my birthday gift to myself in celebration of how far I have come while acknowledging all that I have yet to see. " Enjoy an excerpt from "Shrink" So, this is me.I've done the work to heal the hurtand improve my state of mind.Not everyone is worthy of my essence, my wisdom, my touchor my time.I will carry myselfas a woman in high demand.If this is too much for you, I understand, but I will not apologize.I will not take my eyes off my prize.I'll still root for youbut not at the expense of my soul.Call me cocky.Call me brash.Call me arrogant.Call me bold.Whatever boosts your ego is not my concern.I'm certain that this directionis one that I have earned.Through falling, I've learned.Through self-love, I've gotten up, dusted myself off, filled my own cupand made the changes to securemy physical and spiritual wealth. Allow me to reintroduce myself.I'm a woman no longer interested in shrinkingbecause it is bad for my health.

A finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography: the fascinating, rediscovered story of a writer who changed English poetry and explored the dark side of sexuality through a woman's voice. On October 15, 1838, the body of a thirty-six-year-old woman was found in Cape Coast Castle, West Africa, a bottle of Prussic acid in her hand. She was one of the most famous English poets of her day: Letitia Elizabeth Landon, known as L.E.L. What was she doing in Africa? Was her death an accident, as the inquest claimed? Or had she committed suicide, or even been murdered? To her contemporaries, she was an icon, hailed as the "female Byron," admired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the Bront s, and Edgar Allan Poe. However, she was also a woman with scandalous secrets, and her death prompted a cover-up that is only now unravelling. Lucasta Miller, acclaimed author of The Bront Myth, meticulously pieces together L.E.L.'s lost career, revealing her as a brilliant woman who embodied a seismic cultural shift, the missing link between the Romantics and the Victorians. A triumph of original research and riveting storytelling, L.E.L. restores a fascinating figure to her place in history.
An electrifying novel about the complicated friendship between two ambitious writers and the ultimate artistic betrayal: one writes a book based upon the other's life, revealing everything...from the author of Reese's Book Club Pick Before We Were Innocent.

That was until Gala's star began to rise, and Lane grew envious. Then Lane did something that she wouldn't ever be able to take back...changing the trajectories of both their lives. Bold, dazzling, and crackling with tension, L.A. Women plunges readers into the legendary parties and unparalleled creativity of iconic Laurel Canyon, while exploring the impossible choices women face when ambition collides with intimacy.
