Insightful and revealing, the book deepens our appreciation of Monet's art and allows us to experience anew his gift for bringing the natural world to life. In addition, the book traces the critical shift in Monet's art that occurred when he began to focus on series of the same subjects such as grainstacks, poplars, and the water-lily pond at his meticulously designed garden in Giverny. This lavishly illustrated new paperback edition explores the development of Monet's art from the 1850s to the 1920s, focusing on the places, both at home and on his frequent travel, from which he drew inspiration for his painting. He deeply engaged with the landscape and light of different places, from the metropolis of Paris to the Seine villages of Argenteuil and Giverny. Capturing fleeting natural impressions played a central role in the art of Claude Monet. Spanning the artist's entire career, this new paperback edition explores Claude Monet's enduring relationship with nature and the landscapes he returned to again and again. ![]()

But, Penfold’s Sven is little, in fact, he is the littlest of all Vikings with the loudest cry and the fiercest set of teeth. ![]() Typically, male Vikings are tall, bearded people who draw their sword at every opportunity, if they don’t row across oceans. It started out really well but goes downhill soon. I am a bit confused with the concept of this children’s book by Alexandra Penfold. ![]() ![]() ![]() In its first year of publication, the book, which is one of the first to star Grover, sold two million copies. To the amusement and relief of Grover, the monster at the end of the book turns out to be none other than himself, leaving the latter very embarrassed over what he has just gone through. After each page is turned, the results of the failed effort is shown, and Grover tries a new method to keep the reader from turning yet another page. He uses several methods to try and keep the reader from progressing, including tying the pages shut and cementing them together with bricks. In this book, Grover is horrified to learn that there is a monster at the end of the book and begs the reader not to finish it, so as to avoid the monster. ![]() It was written by Jon Stone and illustrated by Mike Smollin. The Monster at the End of This Book was published in 1971 by Golden Press. Sesame Street The Monster at the End of This Book Celebrity Read Along ![]() ![]() The teacher explains to his class how he and his wife had a teenage romance, which led to a disastrous abortion that left her infertile. In an opening scene, the teacher's childless wife (Cusack) takes a child from a supermarket and believes it to be hers. The film portrays the history teacher's narrative in the form of flashbacks to tell the story of a teenage boy and his mentally challenged older brother living in The Fens of England with their widowed father. His method is to narrate his life to his class and interweave three generations of his family's history. The film follows the story of an anguished English-born Pittsburgh high school teacher (Irons) in 1974 going through a reassessment of his life. The film moved the contemporary location from England to Pittsburgh and eliminated many of the extensive historical asides. It is based on Graham Swift's 1983 novel of the same name. ![]() ![]() Waterland is a 1992 British mystery drama film directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal and starring Jeremy Irons, Sinéad Cusack, Ethan Hawke and John Heard. ![]() ![]() ![]() Grass carp have already entered Lake Erie and caused some damage, but other varieties of carp that have not yet been found in the Great Lakes pose a larger threat. ![]() “If these fish get in, everybody is estimating that it will devastate the Great Lakes fisheries,” says Jim Dexter, who led the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (Michigan DNR) Fisheries Division until his retirement last month. Not only could their takeover be an ecological catastrophe, but a full-blown carp invasion could also be detrimental to local economies by destroying the Great Lakes fishing industry, which produces approximately $7 billion in revenue annually. Now, government officials and ecologists are waging a massive battle to keep carp out of the Great Lakes, where they could be devastating. Black, bighead, grass and silver carp occupy numerous lakes, rivers and streams. Since then, carp have traveled to every state in the continental United States. During a flooding event, carp escaped into nearby waterways. ![]() ![]() In the 1970s, carp were introduced to wastewater and aquaculture facilities in Arkansas as a sort of natural vacuum cleaner to remove parasites and weeds. The filter feeders eat plankton and small fish, outcompeting other fish for food. The fish can withstand a variety of environments, survive for decades and lay millions of eggs, which allows them to supplant native species. Invasive carp are swimming north through American waterways and wreaking havoc on ecosystems. ![]() ![]() ![]() The short story is the perfect package for these moral experiments. They, as The Guardian suggests, “invite us to smoke and also to know that we shouldn’t smoke, because it’s lethal.” They are rich with idiosyncrasies they complicate and construct rather than deconstruct, while maintaining a minimalistic form. Instead, they flirt with our moral boundaries. They don’t instruct, they don’t come fixed with trimmed moral tales or explicit meaning. They aren’t just remarkable in their precision – less words, more punch – they pose an entirely different motive than that of the novel. ![]() ![]() Reading a short, there’s always the sense that something creeps just beyond the pages and something vital being pressed a gauzy closeness to the narrative skin. They glut and gut at the same time “concentrate without clotting” and bring the weight of something so much larger to a flimsy ten page read. I’d pick a Joyce Carol Oates or Coover short over long form any day. This should begin with a disclaimer: I adore short stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() He fought these battles with hundreds of WWII editorial cartoons during 1941 and ’42, and ultimately with his service in the Army as a captain in Frank Capra’s celebrated wartime documentary filmmaking unit.
