The art of running in heels / by Gibson, Rachel,author.(CARDINAL)355356;
Leaving your fiancé at the altar on live television is a disaster. Lexie Kowalsky thought she was ready to get married in front of millions of people, but at the last minute she fled the set of television's hottest reality show, Gettin' Hitched. Wearing a poofy white dress and a pair of five-inch sparkly shoes, Lexie hopped a float plane for Sandspit, Canada. She figured no one would find her there. But she was wrong. Sharing her flight was the Seattle Chinooks biggest star, Sean Knox. Lexie wasn't just a reality-show runaway, she was his pain in the butt coach's daughter. She was chaos and temptation and definitely off limits, but getting her luscious body out of that wedding gown, he couldn't resist getting her in his bed for one amazing night. Then a photo of Sean and Lexi breaks the internet--and suddenly they're both swept up in a crazy plan to spin the whole story. But you can't run from love.--

After Gorky' death -- Chronology -- Sources -- Index.Author of From a High Place: A Life of Arshile Gorky, Matthew Spender presents a new expanded edition of his 2010 publication Arshile Gorky: Goats on the Roof, with never-before-published material, including diary entries and letters from the artist's wife as well as additional contextual documents. Arshile Gorky is increasingly considered an important influence on the development of abstract expressionism. From Gorky's turbulent childhood fleeing the Armenian genocide in Turkey, to his adulthood in the United States, to his suicide in his forties after a traumatic series of physical and emotional setbacks, this biography offers an intimate window into the artist's life, telling his story through many voices: his letters, sent and received; the correspondence of family and friends; pivotal reviews and criticism; newspaper articles and other essential documents. With new design integrating a fuller range of artwork and archival images, the book provides a more comprehensive portrait of Gorky, showing his struggle for recognition, his devotion to his family and his connection to his Armenian heritage. The artist's life story unfolds through his personal letters, the correspondence between friends and family and key contemporary reviews.

Hannibal and me : what history's greatest military strategist can teach us about success and failure / by Kluth, Andreas.(CARDINAL)397723;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-317) and index.Hannibal and me -- The influence of parents -- Do you need a goal? -- Towering peaks -- The art of winning -- Tactics and strategy in life -- Dealing with disaster -- The prison of success -- The liberation of failure -- The threshold of middle age -- Political death -- Aging and transcending -- The lessons of Hannibal.A dynamic way to understand success and failure, through the life of one of history's greatest generals. Hannibal, the Carthaginian general who crossed the Alps with his army in 218 B.C.E., is the stuff of legend. And the epic choices he and his opponents made--on the battlefield and elsewhere in life--offer lessons about our victories and our defeats that are as relevant today as they were 2,000 years ago. A big-new-idea book inspired by ancient history, Hannibal and Me explores our triumphs and disasters by examining the decisions made by people--including Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Steve Jobs, Ernest Shackleton, and Paul Cézanne--who learned from their mistakes. By showing why some overcome failure and others succumb to it, and why some fall victim to success while others thrive on it, Kluth demonstrates how to recognize the seeds of success within our own failures and the threats of failure hidden in our successes.--

Includes bibliographical references and index."By reading Mary Shelley's pandemic novel The Last Man and gothic romance "The Invisible Girl" against the background of plague literature and international thought from ancient Greece to Covid-19, this book reveals how she shaped the classics of modern existentialism and dystopian political science fiction from H. G. Wells to Emily St. John Mandel. It is this Shelleyan literary tradition that has generated modern postapocalyptic political thought, which uses writing and other art to reflect upon the global existential question: What is to be done after a massive, human-made disaster?" --
