Gardenscapes Verlyn Klinkenborg
 Book Description In this, the first publication of her color work, Lynn Geesaman continues to evoke the human dreams of artifice and industry that have imposed their will upon the natural landscape. For almost twenty years, Geesaman has photographed fertile orchards and fields as well as elaborately cultivated gardens and manicured walkways of parks, estates, and chateaus in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, and across the United States. Through her poetic vision, rendered in an array of vibrant hues, a mesmerizing tension emerges from an uncanny sense of the natural world's seemingly unnatural logic; Geesaman unearths the repetitive patterns that reside in these landscapes. Geesaman's work is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, among others....

The Chosen (Nine Lives of Chloe King) Celia Thomson
 Book Description CHLOE KING MAY BE THE ONE. Despite a rocky few weeks, Chloe King is starting to get it. She's figured out who she is (a girl with catlike superpowers), where she belongs (at home with Mom), and what she wants to do (chill with her friends). Yes, she's got funky superpowers, and yes, two rival groups think she's some "chosen" leader. But no, she's not buying all that ancient-warrior crap. And she's definitely not developing a superhero alter ego like in those old comic books. For Chloe, being the One means she can have whatever she wants -- i.e., more goof-off time and fewer "cat people" conventions. Then she finds her friend bleeding in an alley. All at once Chloe realizes that the years of bloodshed are not over. In fact, they never will be. The Mai and the Tenth Blade are going to persist in their dangerous rivalry. Unless Chloe accepts her destiny -- and takes control....

Roger Quilter - 55 Songs - High Voice Richard Walters
 Book DescriptionWith a graceful gift for lyrical vocal writing, English composer Roger Quilter (1877-1953) created a rich body of art songs. Very few composers working in English have matched his achievement of a living body of beloved, relevant, literate repertoire. The strong melodies and natural phrasing make his compositions perfect literature for the progressing singer. There has never before this publication been a significant collection of Quilter. This new edition conveniently and economically collects 55 songs, all in clear, new music engravings and in two keys (with original keys noted). Many of the songs have never been published in transposition before this edition. This collection features a biography of the composer and notes on the songs. 224 pages, sewn binding....

Orson Welles : The Stories of His Life Peter Conrad
 Book Description A fresh, provocative look at one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of film by "one of our most acute cultural critics" (Paul Fussell) Orson Welles was a metamorphic man, a magical shape-changer who made up myths about himself and permitted others to add to their store. On different occasions, he likened himself to Christ--mankind's redeemer--and to Lucifer--the rebel angel who brought about the fall. His persona compounded the roles he played--kings, despots, generals, captains of industry, autocratic film directors--and the more or less fictitious exploits with which he regaled other people or which they attributed to him. Hailed in childhood as a genius, he remained mystified by his own promise, unable to understand or control an intellect that he came to think of as a curse; and he ended his days shilling wine and performing magic tricks on talk shows. At times, he saw the collapse of his early ambitions as a tragedy; in other moods,......
