As a highly experienced community midwife and teacher, Bridget
Sheeran knows that pregnancy should be a time for vital physical
and mental preparation. The body and mind do much of this
automatically but there are many ways to support this process, and
to resist the day-to-day stresses that can hinder it. Through
detailed images for colouring-in, Bridget invites pregnant women to
allow their natural curiosity to rise up and lead them to discover
how they can help themselves through the process of birth. As women
relate to their interpretation of the illustrations, this book can
powerfully: Allow them in their own time to focus on their needs in
pregnancy, birth and becoming a mother; Motivate them to prepare
for birth and the responsibility of caring for a newborn; Enable
personal well-being through relieving stress via the 'right brain'
activity of colouring-in; Motivate women to evaluate their personal
resources and find the support structures they will need to do the
most important job in the world: give birth and nurture their baby.
The fascination birds evoke in us continues unabated. Australian
artist and photographer Christian Spencer, living in the vicinity
of the Brazilian rainforest since 2001, has surrendered to it as
well. "The camera is my brush," is how he describes his style. His
photographs truly capture the poetry of nature, letting its beauty
speak for itself - which is why he forgoes any image editing. He
was the first to capture the breathtakingly fast beating of
hummingbirds' wings in the sunlight, which forms a rainbow in the
air. The world of birds unfolds before his lens in all its
colourful glory and elegance: in reflections on the water, between
blossoms and trees, and high above the treetops. Text in English
and German.
With How to Draw Manga Furries, you'll follow the lead of five
professional Japanese artists as they show you how to bring dynamic
fantasy characters to life--on the page or on screen! Furries are
anthropomorphic characters--animals who have human traits (not to

BNA: Brand New Animal. The genre allows creators to be more
imaginative, freeing artists from traditional human personality
traits, actions and physical appearance. With the help of the
expert authors, you'll learn to draw: Anatomically correct furry
manga bodies, skulls, faces, appendages and tails with human
proportions Characters based on cats, dogs, wolves, foxes, goats,
birds, whales, sharks, crocodiles, dragons--and more! Furries seen
from their most powerful perspective--from muzzle to rump to
flipper tip Illustrations shown from many various angles with
different poses, positions and movements And so much more! With
this book as your guide, your imagination will run wild as you
create memorable heroes, wicked villains and compelling sidekicks
with your pen or on screen. *Recommended for artists 10 & up*
