This is the Story of the Bible, in pictures both new and old. These images started out as sketches by Gustave Dor , who died in 1883. During his short life, he produced striking paintings, from small projects to the enormous Le Christ quittant le pr toire (nearly 30 feet long and just over 19 feet high). Painting didn't pay well, so he also produced woodcuts by the hundreds, illustrations for picture books, newspapers, and classics -- literally everything from caricatures and street scenes to Little Red Riding Hood and the crucifixion. Among his voluminous work, we find a set of biblical illustrations unmatched in beauty and scope. Dor 's engravers cut his sketches into end-grain wood (boxwood was a popular choice). Those wooden blocks were inked, pressed into paper, and Dor 's breathtaking black and white images were published in Bibles around the world. Fast-forward almost 150 years and a few technological revolutions. We made high resolution scans of Dor 's woodcuts. Our artist, Will Britton, digitally painted them, bringing Dor 's stunning black and white images into vibrant color.
We have organized these pictures in (mostly) chronological order. You can hop from one to the next like rocks in a riverbed, from the headwaters of the Story all the way down the river to its end -- which is a new beginning. You'll see the biblical Story as you've never seen it before, in all its beauty, brutality, and finally, grace.
Every once in a while, let your foot slip off the rocks. Pick up a Bible, look up that half-remembered episode, and immerse yourself in the water of life.

Описание: In the post-war era, TS Bremen was one of the most popular liners operating across the Atlantic - but she had a remarkable wartime history. Her sale in 1956 to North German Lloyd Line as their final flagship - refitted and renamed Bremen - sparked protest in France, but Bremen sailed on unperturbed, now the pride of the German nation.

Описание:
This is the first book to offer a systematic and analytical overview of the legal framework for residential construction. In doing so, the book addresses two fundamental questions: Prevention: What assurances can the law give buyers (and later owners and occupiers) of homes that construction work - from building of a complete home to adding an extension or replacing a shower unit - will comply with minimum standards of design, safety and build quality? Cure: What forms of redress - from whom, and by what route - can residents expect, when, often long after completion of construction, they discover defects?
The resulting problems pose some big and difficult questions of principle and policy about standards, rights and remedies, which in turn concern justice more generally. This book addresses these key issues in a comparative context across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. It is an accessible guide to the existing law for residents and construction professionals (and their legal advisers), but also charts a course to further, meaningful reforms of the legal landscape for residential construction around the world. The book's two co-authors, Philip Britton and Matthew Bell, have taught in the field in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; both have been active in legal practice, as have the book's two specialist contributors, Deirdre Nн Fhloinn and Kim Vernau.

Описание: The last thing Dannie needs is a Victorian gentleman on her ranch, playing cowboy while she's trying to save her family's livelihood. Will high stakes and high emotions lead to heartbreak?
Evan Rounsevell, second son to the Marquess of Rothwell, is running as far from his family and responsibilities as he can. His fascination with cowboys takes him from English shores to the Arizona desert, but the days of showdowns are over, and Tombstone, Arizona, is a respectable town. With no funds left, and no desire to call on his affluent family for rescue, Evan seeks a position as a cowboy at a ranch on its last leg.
Daniella Bolton's fianc left when the drought of 1893 crippled the KB ranch, but that's just fine by her. She doesn't need a man to help her save her family's land. Especially not an Englishman who looks down on her style of living, like Evan does. She loves her life on the ranch, and no outsider could ever understand what it means to be loyal to the land and her family's way of life.
Being a cowboy is harder than Evan thought, but as he works to earn his place on the ranch, his heart opens up to the beauty of the desert... as well as that of Dannie Bolton. Watching Evan fight for the ranch she loves makes Dannie realize that not all men are afraid of hard work and troubled times, and loving Evan might be just the salve her wounded heart needs. But when Evan's family summons him home right when Dannie needs him most, the feelings of betrayal from her former fianc 's flight return tenfold.
Does Evan dare risk his tenuous relationship with Dannie to fulfill his family responsibilities? Or will leaving Arizona be the worst mistake of his life?

Описание: The long-running popular TV series Doctor Who is, Piers Britton argues, a 'uniquely design intensive text': its time-and-space-travel premise requires that designers be tirelessly imaginative in devising new worlds and entities and recreating past civilizations. While Doctor Who’s attempts at worldbuilding are notorious for being hit-and-miss – old jokes about wobbly walls and sink plungers die hard – the distinctiveness of the series’ design imagery is beyond question. And over the course of six decades Doctor Who has produced designs which are not only iconic but, in being repeatedly revisited and updated, have proven to be an ever-more important element in the series’ identity and mythos.
In the first in-depth study of Doctor Who’s costumes, sets and graphics, Piers Britton offers an historical overview of both the original and the revived series, explores theoretical frameworks for evaluating Doctor Who design, and provides detailed analysis of key images. Case studies include the visual morphology of Doctor Who’s historical adventures, the evaluative character of cosplay, and the ongoing significance for the Doctor Who brand of such high-profile designs as the Daleks and the TARDIS interior, the ‘time-tunnel’ title sequence, and the costumes of the Fourth and Thirteenth Doctors.

Описание:
Fighting for My Life is the real-life story about one man's struggle to find faith and hope amid physical abuse, torture, and sexual abuse. It is about how discovering that God has always been there for him, even in the darkest episodes of his life, helped him overcome staggering obstacles so that he could step out of a period of total darkness and into God's magnificent light. It is a story of peace and forgiveness that I hope other people dealing with struggles could use to also move toward a healthier relationship with others and with God. It is a story of finding Jesus and developing a faith that helps me serve and love others as they go through times of difficulty.
