The above group of twenty-one books will be under glass and shown either as covers or opened page spreads. ![]() Ten art curators each pick ten art works and tell us why they love/admire/revere/are moved by them. It also represents contemporary self-published photobooks like Bruce Connew’s tiny I Saw You, of surveillance-like images, and Saynab Muse’s 2019 Imaanshaha on her Somalian refugee family living in Auckland. Ten x Ten: Art at Te Papa 44.99 Quantity Published to coincide with the imminent opening of the beautiful new art galleries at Te Papa, this book takes an intimate yet expert look at the national art collection. These include John Pascoe’s 1950 classic, The Mountains, the Bush & the Sea and Les Cleveland’s 1966 photo/text essay, The Silent Land. It shows examples of books that the publishing industry would once have termed illustrated books but which we can now understand as works of personal expression, as photobooks (even though the term didn’t exist when they were made). This exhibition lifts the lid on the photobook phenomenon. With photographers rather than publishers in control, an entire new field of both photographic expression and book publishing has emerged. It is a creative work in itself an integrated whole that greater than the sum of its parts.ĭigital technologies are behind the boom in photobooks over the last 20 years, enabling photographers to design, publish and distribute their own books. There had always been books with photographs in them but the photobook is more than just a compilation of individual images in a book format. ![]() The term ‘photobook’ first appeared in the early 2000s. ![]()

![]() ![]() But, who also turns out to be, yes a revolutionary, but not a very organised fellow who was often where he should not have been and was usually not where he should be, but got the revolutionary accolades anyway. She married Sun Yat-sen whose permanence in militancy to establish the Republic of China (ROC) eventually paid off. Of course he was not a Soong and the book is about the Soong but his rise to power made his life part and parcel of the Soong rise to power and riches so one has to deal with the one to deal with the other.Ĭontrarily, to learn of Soong Ching-ling, the second sister was important. His name should be buried somewhere totally out of sight. How bad can a leader, or supposed leader, of a country be? Marcos was bad enough I came to understand on reading about his ‘dynasty’ by the same excellent author, but Chiang Kia-shek, I don’t even want to write his name down. The Soong Dynasty by Sterling Seagrave is an eye opener indeed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I mean, anybody who's been to, say, South Carolina or Alabama or Maryland, for that matter, and has been to a so-called flagship campus of a state university and then heads across town and sees the facilities at a publicly funded HBCU knows the difference. MARTIN: So this is one of those stories that I always say is hiding in plain sight. ![]() Thank you so much for joining us.ĪDAM HARRIS: Thanks so much for having me. The book is called "The State Must Provide: Why America's Colleges Have Always Been Unequal - And How To Set Them Right." And Adam Harris is with us now to tell us more about it.Īdam Harris, welcome. In the midst of all the turmoil in higher education in recent years, historically Black colleges and universities, or HBCUs, have had some good news to report - eye-popping donations by philanthropists, like MacKenzie Scott, who personally donated $1.7 billion dollars mainly to HBCUs as well attention-getting hires to teach or advise, everybody from former FBI director James Comey to writer Ta-Nehisi Coates.īut a new book by Atlantic staff writer Adam Harris argues that these developments, welcome as they are, are not nearly enough to overcome the generations of inequities these institutions have experienced, including consistent underfunding compared to segregated historically white institutions, which then use their failings to curtail or even shut them down. ![]() ![]() ![]() The author has created a large extended family with characters that are deep and interesting. ![]() I have enjoyed every story in this series and none more so than All Jacked Up, Book 8. This author is a master at creating enticing imagery with her words. Can they stop pretending long enough to see that they’ve stumbled on to the real deal? As the dust settles, Jack and Keely worry they’re not fooling anyone but themselves. The McKays remind Jack of the humble upbringing he left behind, and country girl Keely feels she doesn’t measure up to Jack’s big-city expectations. Their sizzling lust overtakes common sense and suddenly they’ve gone from butting heads to knocking boots, but outside the bedroom they’re as mismatched as ever. When the notoriously hot-bodied-but-hot-tempered Keely begs him for help, he proposes a crazy idea he’ll personally oversee her restoration-if she acts the part of his fiancée. Jack is this close to securing a career-defining project, until he learns his bachelor status puts him out of contention. What she does need is a restoration specialist to help her open her physical therapy clinic-and that expert is none other than buttoned-down, uptight Jack Donohue-her brother’s best friend and a certified pain in her Wranglers. As the lone girl in the prolific McKay family, Keely McKay doesn’t need another man giving her orders. One hot-blooded cowgirl and one cool-headed businessman in a stripped-down, revved-up game of sexual truth or dare. ![]() ![]() This koala just has to be on top!

That paper explored the arguments around excess calories versus CIM as the cause of the obesity epidemic with notable balance and reflection. ![]() David Ludwig and 16 other prominent scientists and clinicians from across the spectrum of research into obesity’s causes. Written by US science writer Sam Apple, the op-ed describes for the lay reader the nuanced, scientific debate about the carbohydrate-insulin model (CIM) of obesity.Īpple’s opinion piece was prompted by a recent journal publication by Harvard Professor Dr. Is obesity caused by consuming excess calories? Or is it, in fact, the actions of our metabolism and hormones - especially elevated insulin - that make us fat?Īn engaging editorial in the Los Angeles Times is explaining that it could well be the latter. ![]() ![]() ![]() With that said, football.london has taken a look at three reasons why Arsenal should not give up their Premier League title hopes. READ MORE: Every word Mikel Arteta said on title race, Odegaard's verdict and Man City lossĭespite many believing the title is now decided, City could drop points in the run-in and if so, Arsenal must be there to take advantage. ![]() Even before City added Erling Haaland to their ranks, they looked domestically unbeatable, but they have been pushed to their absolute limit by Mikel Arteta and his players. Positivity is not exactly high in north London currently, but this young and hungry team had absolutely no right to be challenging for the league title against the Premier League's juggernaut. But, upon reflection, not many had even predicted Arsenal to secure a top-four spot, yet their place in next season's Champions League has already been secured with five games still to play. Understandably, there is concern creeping out of the Arsenal fanbase as a 4-1 defeat against Man City saw Pep Guardiola's team snatch back control. Manchester City having two games in hand does mean they hold the advantage, but the Gunners are still firmly in a title race with just a month to go of the season. Despite four games without a win, Arsenal are still top of the Premier League table. ![]() ![]() ![]() In what way is food a central metaphor in the novel-what does it represent?

Discuss the magical properties of food and cooking in this book. What role does tradition play in this book? Is it always a negative role, as exemplified by Mama Elena? What might the author be suggesting about family or cultural customs in general?Ħ. How do their maternal qualities differ?ĥ. What about Nacha? Both she and Mama Elena represent maternal figures for Tita. Does the revelation later in the book about her own history alter your opinion of her?Ĥ. ![]() Describe the matriarch of the family, Mama Elena. Do you consider Tita a strong or weak female heroine? Does she change by the end of the novel? If so, how? Or if not, why?ģ. Talk about the three De La Garza sisters-Gertudis, Rosaura, and Tita.
