Abstract: Los Angeles is known for its glitz and glam, beach colture, blockbuster studios and famous residents. But there's much more to this sprawling metropolis than perfect teeth and tanned aund taut bods (though near-perpetual good weather does offer plenty of opportunities to get physical outdoors). La La Land is a city budding with talent: it's a haven for artists and architects. top chefs, fresh designers and trendsetting retailers. Plus the upshot of all of that vitamin D is that, whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, you're bound to meet some happy people. LA is a monster of a city and its neighbourhoods are merkedly veried, from fashionable Silver Lake, artsy Venice and upmarket Santa Monica to regenerating Downtown, faded-yet-still-alluring Hollywood and genteel Pasadena. Good advice is essential for navigating it with aplomb: luckily we've roamed the city and uncovered the must-do activities and lesser-known spots to help you get the most out of your trip to the City of Angels.

Abstract: Can you guess what day it is today? It's very special. Is it New Year's Day? No, but it is the beginning of another year. Is it Valentine's Day? Many people say, "I love you" on this day, but that doesn't mean it's Valentine's Day. Maybe it's Lincoln's birthday? Not his. Is it Washington's birthday? By George, no..

Abstract: Kurt Schwitters revolutionized the art world in the 1920s with his Dadaist Merz collages, theater performances, and poetry. But at the same time he was also writing extraordinary fairy tales that were turning the genre upside down and inside out. Lucky Hans and Other Merz Fairy Tales is the first collection of these subversive, little-known stories in any language and the first time all but a few of them have appeared in English. Translated and introduced by Jack Zipes, one of the world's leading authorities on fairy tales, this book gathers thirty-two stories written between 1925 and Schwitters's death in 1948--including a complete English-language recreation of The Scarecrow, a children's book illustrated with avant-garde typography that Schwitters created with Kate Steinitz and De Stijl founder Theo van Doesburg. Lucky Hans and Other Merz Fairy Tales also includes brilliant new illustrations that evoke the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s (amazon.com)

Abstract: Nelle sue opere spesso il nucleo narrativo è costituito da un “buco” nella pagina, una formadisegnata dalla “non-materia” e tuttavia capace –al pari della parola scritta- di evocare storie, richiamare ricordi, comporre versi di una poesia. La lettura si arricchisce diventando un’esperienza tattile e visiva per gli adulti, siano essi genitori che condividono questo piacere con i bambini o semplici estimatori del creativo giapponese. Il suo ultimo lavoro, A cloud, ha un testo breve e diluito in tredici fogli di carta di diversegrammature, textures e tonalità di bianco, con buchi di forme varie a rappresentare una nuvola che portata dal vento si trasforma, si unisce ad altre, viaggia senza conoscere la meta, che è puro appannaggio del vento. Poi si dilegua, ma ci saranno ancora altre nuvole da accompagnare con lo sguardo.. (scridb.com)

Abstract: La compagnia dei topi di campagna vive una vita semplice e beata al riparo dei cespugli. Un giorno, un topo di città porta loro notizie dalla metropoli: è un posto quasi sempre triste e pericoloso, eccetto a Carnevale. Carnevale è bellissimo. I topi di campagna decidono subito di copiare l'idea della festa, le trombette, le stelle filanti, i coriandoli e le maschere. Maschere di animali feroci. Solo che a forza di indossare le maschere, i topi non si riconoscono più e la paura e il sospetto iniziano a circolare.. (ibs.it)

Abstract: On the evening of 15 June 1815, the great and the good of British society have gathered in Brussels at what is to become one of the most tragic parties in history - the Duchess of Richmond's ball. For this is the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, and many of the handsome young men attending the ball will find themselves, the very next day, on the battlefield. For Sophia Trenchard, the young and beautiful daughter of Wellington's chief supplier, this night will change everything. But it is only twenty-five years later, when the upwardly mobile Trenchards move into the fashionable new area of Belgravia, that the true repercussions of that moment will be felt. For in this new world, where the aristocracy rub shoulders with the emerging nouveau riche, there are those who would prefer the secrets of the past to remain buried..

Abstract: Enter a vanished and unjust world: Jackson, Mississippi, 1962. Where black maids raise white children, but aren't trusted not to steal the silver..There's Aibileen, raising her seventeenth white child and nursing the hurt caused by her own son's tragic death; Minny, whose cooking is nearly as sassy as her tongue; and, white Miss Skeeter, home from College, who wants to know why her beloved maid has disappeared.

But as each woman finds the courage to cross boundaries, they come to depend and rely upon one another.

Abstract: Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against the totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the all-seeing telescreens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith begins a secret love affair with a fellow-worker Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal. Show More Show Less

Abstract: This powerful and moving story explains how a large corporation, Purdue, encouraged small town doctors to prescribe OxyContin to a country already awash in painkillers. The drug's dangerously addictive nature was hidden, whilst many used it as an escape, to numb the pain of of joblessness and the need to pay the bills. Macy tries to answer a grieving mother's question - why her only son died - and comes away with a harrowing tale of greed and need.

Abstract: By the acclaimed royal biographer and commentator Robert Hardman, Charles III is a brilliant and intimate portrait of the new monarch that draws on unrivalled access to the Royal Family, their close friends and staff, plus previously unseen papers from the Royal Archives. With damaging headlines unleashed by the Sussexes, political crises and questions about the future of the monarchy, Charles III had no shortage of challenges when he started his reign. The Royal Family then faced a double blow in 2024 when the King and the Princess of Wales were diagnosed with cancer, the news shocking the nation. The dramatic story is uncovered here, along with the vital role played by Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princess Royal and others. From the emotional days following the death of Elizabeth II to the pageantry of the coronation, from the truth about the King’s relationship with Prince William and Prince Harry and the way he has coped with his illness to his first steps on the world stage, Hardman takes us behind the pomp and ceremony to reveal Charles the man as well as the monarch
