When is a urinal no longer a urinal? When Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) declared it to be art. The uproar that greeted the French artist's Fountain (1917), a porcelain urinal installed in a gallery, sent shock waves through the art world establishment that continue to reverberate to the present day.
Duchamp made a career out of challenging our notions of what art is and, in the process, opened our minds to hitherto unknown possibilities. After an oblique version of Cubism in his early career, the artist made his name with Nude Descending a Staircase (1912), a groundbreaking blend of abstraction, Cubism, and Futurism, with a controversially mechanical titular nude. Around the same time, Duchamp began his forays into the now-iconic "readymades" - seemingly random found objects which Duchamp would present as art, including Bicycle Wheel (1913), Bottle Rack (1914), and a snow shovel, labeled Prelude to a Broken Arm (1915).
Duchamp went on to cause even further apoplexy among traditionalists with outrages such as L.H.O.O.Q. (1919), in which he presented a cheap copy of da Vinci's Mona Lisa with a mustache and beard penciled on and, for good measure, the auditory pun of the title (which, when read aloud in French, sounds like "Elle a chaud au cul" - "She has a hot ass").
This book distills all the daring and the scandal of Duchamp"s art into one essential overview which introduces not only one pioneering creative but also a critical moment in Western art. It is here, amid the assaults on Old Masters and the fractured poetry of found objects, that the art world first transitioned from "retinal" experiences to what would evolve into conceptual practice.

Описание: While advice abounds from a variety of sources before parents embark on their parenting journeys, the only parent preparation we actually receive comes from our family and peer stories. Yet most adults do not realize that in day-to-day challenges of guiding our children, something interesting happens. As we steer our children through life, we reopen our own childhood roads. Just when our child most needs us, we become needy ourselves: as adults and parents, we find that we have unresolved raising issues, basic needs that were not met in our childhoods. Our needs and memories echo and influence many of the parenting decisions we make, even though we're unaware of those influences at times. Fortunately, children help parents reach their needs as much as their parents help them fulfill their own. Our child ends up guiding us, by connecting us to some earlier time in our life when we encountered distress. We dredge up a lesson, and we adapt by adhering to or changing the story that we tell ourselves about who we are. We re-negotiate the five basic needs that surface from our childhood memories as our youngsters pass through each of the developmental phases. The self-aware parent focuses on creative problem solving by focusing on one interaction at a time. It Takes a Child to Raise a Parent offers an exploration of how our own childhood memories and needs influence and shape our parenting decisions in our adult lives. Offering tips, stories from a variety of families, and step by step exercises, Janis Johnston helps parents better understand and grasp the tools necessary to face parenting challenges head on, and to explore new ways of understanding ourselves, our children, and our family interactions. Expectant parents and current parents interested in understanding their own personality development as well as the many moods of childhood and their own children, will find clear guidelines for understanding their roles in their children's lives as well as concrete suggestions for how to navigate the choppy waters of raising children.

Описание:
Amy was one of those rare people who made an impact . . . She was a bundle of emotions, at times adorable and at times unbearable. . . . Amy s passing did not follow a clear line. It was jumbled, and her life was unfinished not life s natural order at all. She left no answers, only questions, and in the years since her death I ve found myself trying to make sense of the frayed ends of her extraordinary existence.
Arguably the most gifted artist of her generation, Amy Winehouse died tragically young, aged just twenty-seven. With a worldwide fan base and millions of record sales to her name, she should have had the world at her feet. Yet in the years prior to her death, she battled with addiction and was frequently the subject of lurid tabloid headlines.
Amy s mother, Janis, knew her in a way that no one else did. In this warm, poignant, and at times heartbreaking memoir, she tells the full story of the daughter she loved so much. As the world watched the rise of a superstar, then the free fall of an addict to her tragic death, Janis simply saw her Amy: the daughter she d given birth to, the girl she d raised and stood by despite her unruly behavior, the girl whose body she was forced to identify two days after her death and the girl she s grieved for every day since.
Including rare photographs and extracts from Amy s childhood journals, "Loving Amy" offers a new and intimate perspective on the life and untimely death of a musical icon."

You desperately want to know how to save your marriage... but you have NO answers
You feel helpless and frustrated. The pain does not diminish, it magnifies, consumes your mind and tears your heart to pieces.
This is what I often hear from my customers.
You may have heard painful things like "I'm not happy anymore", "I don't love you" or "I'm leaving you". Perhaps your partner has already left you.

So, I'll begin by telling you that there is a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel.
When a marriage hits a crisis, the actions that individuals take could change their lives forever; so, finding the right help is essential. This handbook by Bryans shares his thoughts and guidance that has led many couples to seek help and rebuild their lives following a relationship crisis.
You find it hard to understand how the person you loved, who once loved you, can now treat you like an enemy. Your spouse may repeatedly say things such as "I'm done, it's done", or even, "You're getting worse" when you try to do anything to save your marriage. You want a sign of encouragement.
Should you give up? No. Is there a magical solution, a "quick fix" or a "simple sentence" that will save your marriage? No. But there are specific things that you should do (and some that you should NOT be doing if you want to save your marriage).
