'For those who want sheer retinal pleasure' 'Not only a wonderful showcase of a brilliant photographer, it is also a biography an in-depth critical appraisal of her work … invites the reader to a greater understanding and appreciation' With texts by Anne Morin and Christa Blümlinger, this thorough look at Maier’s entire archive is organized thematically in sections that cover self-portraits, the street, portraits, gestures, cinematography, children, colour work and forms.Ī valuable addition to the continuing assessment of Maier’s work, this book is a one-volume compendium of her most enduring images. Drawing on previously unpublished archives and recent scientific analyses, this retrospective sheds new light on Maier’s work. Working primarily as a street photographer, Maier’s work has been compared with such luminaries as Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus and Joel Meyerowitz. Maier’s incredible body of work consists of more than 150,000 photographic images, Super 8 and 16 mm films, various recordings and a multitude of undeveloped films. It was during her years as a nanny that she took many of the photographs that have made her posthumously famous. Born in New York in 1926, she worked as a nanny in New York and Chicago for much of her adult life. Emma does some research and discovers Sutton's identity. Emma lived with her mother, who showed signs of manic depression, until she was about five, and has been shuffled from one foster home to another.Įmma is in a foster home when the son of her foster parent shows his mother a "snuff film" featuring Sutton, though it appears to be Emma. Sutton has apparently led the life of an indulged child and has turned out to be a selfish teenager. Sutton was adopted by an affluent family while Emma remained with their mother. Emma and Sutton are identical twins and were separated, apparently at birth or as very young children. The girl completely ignores her and it takes only a little longer for Sutton to realize she's dead. Then a girl enters the bathroom and Sutton tries to make her presence known. She can't remember how she came to be there but she also can't remember much of anything about her life. As the story opens, Sutton Mercer is lying in a bathtub in an unfamiliar room. In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. The women of the Bible lived timeless stories-by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith. The office maintains a searchable list of active registered practitioners for this purpose. You might want to hire a registered patent lawyer or agent. Since the patent claims define the legal rights of a patent, it is important to craft these carefully.īut if you’re an inventor, you probably aren’t an expert in patent law and United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) procedure. Finally, a patent application must include claims setting forth what you, the inventor, consider to be the invention. In order to be granted a patent, not only must your invention itself be new and nonobvious, but the application must meet certain legal requirements (for example, it must disclose the invention in enough detail for someone in the field to reproduce it) and follow procedural requirements, such as detailed instructions on preparing drawings. What’s the next step?Īpplying for a patent is a complicated endeavor. You’ve heard that patents are important to protect your invention, but you have no idea how to go about applying for one.

The family wished for her legacy to live on. It was not only a personal loss, but one that affected many who had benefitted from years of engagement through her books, lectures, and radio program. When Elisabeth Elliot died in 2015, her family and widowed husband mourned. Her best-selling book, Through Gates of Splendor, began a writing and speaking career that lasted four decades.įigure 2: Elisabeth Elliot in her home office in Magnolia, Massachusetts, ca. She eventually returned to the United States, becoming an active and vocal advocate for the gospel, for missions, for families, and for women. In the years that followed, Elliot created a writing system for the Waodäni language, advocated for their education, and paved the way for a New Testament translation finished in 1992. This remarkable story rippled across the globe, inspiring millions to serve God through missions.įigure 1: Elisabeth Elliot teaching in Ecuador with Valerie hugging her legs, ca. Her choice to forgive, rather than retaliate, sparked a change in the Waodäni, who left behind a cycle of violence to embrace a life of love. In 1958, Christian missionary Elisabeth Elliot returned to the Ecuadorian rainforest to live with the Waodäni, the tribe who had killed her husband only two years earlier. With small type and slightly more mature sentence structure, older readers won’t feel babyish reading about Andrew and his freckle obsession and consequences. The chapter where poor Andrew drinks the despicable concoction that is supposed to sprout the desired freckles is both hilarious and a fun Don’t do it! moment.Ī very short chapter book (only five chapters and 47 pages), this is a good read for an older, less adept reader. Two other characters in this book stand out: a sweet, understanding teacher, and larcenous, greedy, evil Sharon, who absconds with funds through trickery. The fact that Andrew wants freckles, and that he is forced to sit behind a boy with a glorious number of freckles (and thus view them every day in school) is a simple but magnificent premise. The protagonist, a second grade boy, is an empathetic character because almost everyone knows, deep in his bones, how it is to want something to distraction.

The subject matter of the book didn’t bother me at all (which is good, considering the type of lab work that I have to do for my job). Based on how much I’ve loved Roach’s previous books, I just go ahead and buy whatever she’s written recently without even knowing the content. If you’re interested in reading a preview before buying Gulp, you can see pages 105 – 141 here. The book tackles everything related to digestion, starting from the nose (where most of our taste comes from) and ending up exactly where you would think. ( NOTE: Details for next month’s book are at the bottom of this post.) I’m a huge fan of her writing style–witty, full of facts (the footnotes are usually where the best anecdotes are), and delightfully gross. Welcome back to the Skepchick Book Club! This month, we read Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach. |
