Описание: Sara Teasdale's wonderful collection of children's poetry, "Rainbow Gold - Poems Old and New", was originally published in 1922. Exquisitely illustrated by the accomplished children's illustrator Dugald Stewart Walker, this charming volume is ideal for introducing children to poetry and is not to be missed by collectors. Dugald Stewart Walker was one of the most highly-celebrated American illustrators of children's books during the early twentieth century and are best remembered for the lavish, magical realm that they frequently described. He is perhaps best known for his contributions to "Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen" (1914), but also illustrated books such as "The Boy who Knew what the Birds Said" and "Dream Boats and Other Stories". Sara Teasdale (1884 - 1933) was an American lyric poet. She was inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame in 1994. The poems included in this book: "Kubla Khan", "Meg Merrilies", "Berries", "Romance", "Hymn of Pan", "Written in March", "When the Hounds of Spring", "Song", "Under the Greenwood Tree", "To Violets", "On May Morning", "The Lepracaun", "Hunting Song", "The Lady of Shalott", "Hymn to Diana", and many more. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's classics and fairy tales - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.
Описание: This sizable anthology contains the finest poems of Sara Teasdale, one of America's best-loved poets and lyricists, combined from a total of five earlier collections. A poorly child, the young Sara was taught at home in St. Louis, Missouri, until she was aged nine and deemed well enough to be educated in school. An introvert, her childhood home and quarters were designed to ensure privacy and solitude. By the time she was in her mid-teens, Sara had demonstrated an affinity for English verse and soon began to write her earliest poems. The five collections which comprise this anthology were published between 1907 and 1920; these were the years in which Sara Teasdale, as a young woman brimming with creative talent, authored her finest works. She won prizes for her poetry, and had soon gained national renown with her collections proving to be popular and much-endeared to the American public.

Описание: Causation is asymmetrical in many different ways. Causes precede effects; explanations cite causes not effects. Agents use causes to manipulate their effects; they don`t use effects to manipulate their causes. Effects of a common cause are correlated; causes of a common effect are not. This is a major book for philosophers of science that will also prove insightful to economists and statisticians.
A few words from the author and eponymous columnist behind The Onion's column, "A Room of Jean's Own," Jean Teasdale: Hi Jeanketeers and Jeanketeers-to-be As "The Onion's" very own Humor and Human-Interest columnist, I've been entertaining readers for 15 years with kooky tales of life with my hubby and our two feline children. Now for the first time, li'l ol' me shines front-and-center in a book of my very own "A Book of Jean's Own " features all-original, never-before-published material, and if that wasn't impressive enough, marks the very first "Onion" book by a solo writer Historical, huh? My book is sure to find an eager audience among "The Onion's" ten-million-strong readership. Wait, ten "million" people? I had no idea Frankly, that scares me a little. We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto (Oh shoot, I should have put that hilarious phrase in my book )
"A Book of Jean's Own " also marks a departure from past "Onion" books in that it isn't crammed with headlines and articles in teeny-weeny print Instead, I write about the stuff that "really" matters: shopping, chocolate, part-time jobs, and hot Hollywood hunks Whether you read my book on the bus, the beach, or the toilet, you're guaranteed to find something to chuckle at "and" deeply relate to
Among the many nuggets of fun:
* I tell you the Twenty Things That Are Better Than Sex * For the first time ever, you learn my maiden name * I spill the secrets of my scrumptious chocolate-loaded desserts, such as Ooey Gooey Choco-Cocoa-Mocha Cupcakes With Raspberry Filling And Coconut-Cream Cheese-Cola Frosting * Acquire valuable, real-world tips on coping with a job you dislike, getting through those rough teenage years, and styling a Jean hairdo of your very own * Get a giggle out of my doodles and overdose on the words of wisdom that are my Jean Proverbs * You've heard of pity parties get my tips for throwing your very own "self"-pity party * Check out my own cure for the blues, the Plush Jamboree * Witness my nervous breakdown while writing this book (well, writing "is" hard, after all ) * Also for the first time ever, Hubby Rick speaks (Spoiler: It's not entirely in grunts ) * Lots of exclamation points (And phrases in parentheses )
I'm sure every single one of those ten million readers will buy my book And who knows? They just may find something in it that will help them lead happier and better lives "
