What does it take to build an amazing sandcastle? The answer is:
more than you think! Take students on a fun exploration of the
properties of sand and factors that influence sandcastle
construction such as moisture and sunlight. Created in
collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, this STEAM book
will ignite a curiosity about STEAM topics through real-world
examples. It features a hands-on STEAM challenge that is perfect
for makerspaces and that guides students step-by-step through the
engineering design process. Make STEAM career connections with
career advice from actual Smithsonian employees working in STEAM
fields. Introduce early science topics to young readers with this
STEAM book that is ideal for 1st grade students or ages 5-7.
The plans are drawn up, a site is chosen, foundations are dug: a
building comes into being with the expectation that it will stay
put and stay for ever. But a building is a capricious thing: it is
inhabited and changed, and its existence is a tale of constant and
curious transformation. In this radical reimagining of
architectural history, Edward Hollis tells the stories of thirteen
buildings, beginning with the 'once upon a time' when they first
appeared, through the years of appropriation, ruin and renovation,
and ending with a temporary 'ever after'. In spell-binding prose,
Hollis follows his buildings through time and space to reveal the
hidden histories of the Parthenon and the Alhambra, Gloucester
Cathedral and Haghia Sofia, Sans Souci and Notre Dame de Paris,
Malatesta's Tempio and Loreto, and explores landmarks of our own
time, from Hulme's legendary crescents to the Berlin Wall and the
fibre-glass theme parks of Las Vegas.

The first monograph and only substantial publication on the work of
Patrick George (born 1923), this book will reveal to a largely
unsuspecting public the lyrical paintings of a rare and original
talent. George is better known as a teacher; he taught for forty
years at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College, London
before eventually becoming Director there. He has only shown his
work infrequently, yet perceptive commentators have identified him
as a School of London painter, to be viewed in the same context as
Lucian Freud (a friendly rival), Frank Auerbach (a strong supporter
of George's work), and Euan Uglow (George's close friend and
colleague). For too long dismissed as a follower of Coldstream,
Patrick George is in fact very much his own man, a Northern
European landscape and figure painter, working in the tradition of
Gainsborough and Constable. In this book, his unique contribution
to the development of contemporary landscape painting is for the
first time examined and evaluated.
Adamo is the greatest composer of musicals ever but despite
intensive investigations, his/her identity remains unknown.
Royalties of more than a billion pounds have amassed over the
years. Adamo composes a final musical about the world's youth in
revolt and promises to reveal his/her identity. The world's youth
identify with the musical "One for a heartbeat, One for Eternity",
and from countries far and wide they petition the United Nations
for a symbolic holding of hands despite ideological differences.
The Adamo enigma is the catalyst for people from diverse
backgrounds, from the very cradle of humankind in faraway Swaziland
to the sophisticated Western cultures, to be drawn into the
fascinating intrigue. Inextricably Merri Fencham from South Africa,
Pierre Villeyand - the scion of a French dynasty and famous
conductor, sangoma Vusi Dlamini - a Swazi royal prince, and others
are drawn into the web of intrigue. And overall, the ancient
influences of the ancestors, the "Toothless Ones", confound Western
stereotypes.... The drive of destiny cannot be denied as the
ancient wisdom of Africa and modern technology meld into an
awe-inspiring finale at the Royal Albert Theatre.
Take a fresh look at the world through the lens of a self-confessed
nature-obsessed artist. Asuka Hishiki possesses not only a sense of
profound awe and wonder at the intricacies of the natural world,
but also the talent to communicate it through her paintings.
Recalling the Wunderkammer (literally, 'wonder rooms') of 16th and
17th century European collectors, Asuka Hishiki's Botaniphoria: A
Cabinet of Botanical Curiosities encompasses subjects as diverse as
rotting vegetables, endangered species, mundane weeds and backyard
insects - all treasures to her and transformed into objects of
intense and fragile beauty through her skill with watercolour. Her
work is held in prestigious collections such as The Huntington
Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens, California, the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Hunt Institute for Botanical
Documentation, Pennsylvania. One of the first people to appreciate
her work said about it, 'your work is not to hang upon a wall in a
bright living room, but to put in a drawer in the study. Then,
alone in the middle of the night, to take out and ponder upon.' In
the best traditions of Wunderkammer, this book is an artfully
arranged collection intended to be pondered upon. From the
interactions of the objects within the paintings, to the quirky
choice of subjects and the realism with which they are portrayed,
they will bear revisiting again and again. As Asuka admits,
painting is her language. She is an extremely adept communicator in
it.
The title of the book, T-I-P-P-Sis formed by the initial letters of
the words tone, intonation, phrasing, precision, and style. It is
usable with individuals, class lessons, or a full band. Players can
concentrate on improving performance with little or no playing
problems involved. It is usable as a warm-up book and a technic
book.
