This humorous, snarky guide to dating and love, inspired by
characters and authors from classic literature, will help you
navigate the ins and outs of today's ever-more crazy dating scene
with aplomb. Traversing the mystifying swampland that is today's
dating scene requires a guide. Forget your BFF--no one knows the
ins and outs of love in all its star-crossed glory quite like
characters from the great classics. The hopeless romantic in a
Shakespeare play. The charming heroine in a Jane Austen novel. The
ill-fated dreamer in pretty much anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
You'll find sage advice and everything you need to know about
romance and relationships--from flirting to the honeymoon phase,
rocky roads to domestic bliss--courtesy of all the classic
characters we know and love (and some we love to hate).
Teaching writing is not for the faint of heart, but it can be a
tremendous gift to teachers and students. Students often approach
writing courses with trepidation because they think of writing as a
mystical and opaque process. Teachers often approach these same
courses with dread because of the enormous workload and the
often-unpolished skills of new writers. This approachable
composition textbook for beginning writers contends that writing
can be a better experience for everyone when taught as an
empathetic and respectful conversation. In a time in which
discourse is not always civil and language is not always tended
carefully, a conversation-based writing approach emphasizes
intention and care. Written by a teacher with more than fifteen
years of experience in the college writing classroom, Composition
as Conversation explores what happens when the art of conversation
meets the art of writing. Heather Hoover shows how seven
virtues--including curiosity, attentiveness, relatability,
open-mindedness, and generosity--inform the writing process and can
help students become more effective writers. She invites writers of
all skill levels to make meaningful contributions with their
writing. This short, accessible, and instructive book offers a
reflective method for college-level writing and will also work well
in classical school, high school, and homeschool contexts. It
demystifies the writing process and helps students understand why
their writing matters. It will energize teachers of writing as they
encourage their students to become careful readers and observers,
intentional listeners, and empathetic arguers. The book also
provides helpful sample assignments.

tempo. 48 pages.
Whatever art you practice, chances are you're going to come across
image transfer techniques. These valuable techniques allow you to
reproduce a unique image from any source and apply it to a myriad
of surfaces. The options are endless! Playing with Image Transfers
is a beautiful and helpful resource that will teach you the four
image transfer methods: Packing Tape, Solvent, Medium, and Acrylic
transfers, while highlighting basic methods and offering projects
across a range of interests and applications. You'll learn how to
make beautiful items, including gift boxes, albums, sketchbook
covers, wall art, accordion books, and much more. Once you've
mastered the techniques, you'll also explore multiple surfaces as a
base for transferring - wood, fabric, paper, canvas, and book
forms. A beautiful gallery will show the use of image transfers in
a wide variety of high-end artistic works to get your creative
juices flowing. The "Considerations" in each chapter offer
suggestions on how a single project can be expanded or further
adapted if you're looking to challenge yourself past the basics. By
the time you finish this informative book, you'll be well-equipped
to use your own images in your creative work.

A favorite of Spike Lee, Drake, and the British boy band One
Direction, the brand has its broadest appeal among the football
fans of the English Premier League. Starting in the 1990s, Stone
Island parkas appeared in the stands at Stoke City, Blackburn
Rovers, and in cities in the north, migrating ever south to the
Midlands, and ultimately to London teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal,
and Tottenham. Famously worn by the likes of soccer guru Pep
Guardiola, The Guardian notes that the brand entered into fashion
folklore as a tough, working-class premium brand that could set you
back a couple of months wages for a single jacket. More recently,
the brand has experienced a surge in popularity, garnering an
explosive following in the rap, hip-hop, and grime scenes rocked by
the likes of Travis Scott, Vince Staples, Skepta, Kano, and Boy
Better Know. Cementing its place among the masters of contemporary
cool, Stone Island has ongoing collabs with Supreme and Nike. This
is the first book to publish the complete history of the brand,
from inception to modern day. Straight from the Stone Island
archives, this volume is filled with stunning, never-before-seen
images and texts, and it also takes a deep dive into the technical
processes that this brand is known for.

Spectator Winter, 1561. Lucrezia, Duchess of Ferrara, is taken on
an unexpected visit to a country villa by her husband, Alfonso. As
they sit down to dinner it occurs to Lucrezia that Alfonso has a
sinister purpose in bringing her here. He intends to kill her.
Lucrezia is sixteen years old, and has led a sheltered life locked
away inside Florence's grandest palazzo. Here, in this remote
villa, she is entirely at the mercy of her increasingly erratic
husband. What is Lucrezia to do with this sudden knowledge? What
chance does she have against Alfonso, ruler of a province, and a
trained soldier? How can she ensure her survival. The Marriage
Portrait is an unforgettable reimagining of the life of a young
woman whose proximity to power places her in mortal danger.
Two-time Peabody Award-winning writer and producer Ira Rosen
reveals the intimate, untold stories of his decades at America's
most iconic news show. It's a 60 Minutesstory on 60 Minutes itself.
When producer Ira Rosen walked into the 60 Minutes offices in June
1980, he knew he was about to enter television history. His career
catapulted him to the heights of TV journalism, breaking some of
the most important stories in TV news. But behind the scenes was a
war room of clashing producers, anchors, and the most formidable 60
Minutes figure: legendary correspondent Mike Wallace. Based on
decades of access and experience, Ira Rosen takes readers behind
closed doors to offer an incisive look at the show that invented TV
investigative journalism. With surprising humor, charm, and an eye
for colorful detail, Rosen delivers an authoritative account of the
unforgettable personalities that battled for prestige, credit, and
the desire to scoop everyone else in the game. As one of Mike
Wallace's top producers, Rosen reveals the interview secrets that
made Wallace's work legendary, and the flaring temper that made him
infamous. Later, as senior producer of ABC News Primetime Live and
20/20, Rosen exposes the competitive environment among famous
colleagues like Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters, and the power
plays between correspondents Chris Wallace, Anderson Cooper, and
Chris Cuomo. A master class in how TV news is made, Rosen shows
readers how 60 Minutes puts together a story when sources are
explosive, unreliable, and even dangerous. From unearthing shocking
revelations from inside the Trump White House, to an outrageous
proposition from Ghislaine Maxwell, to interviewing gangsters Joe
Bonanno and John Gotti, Jr., Ira Rosen was behind the scenes of
some of 60 Minutes' most sensational stories. Highly entertaining,
dishy, and unforgettable, Ticking Clock is a never-before-told
account of the most successful news show in American history.
