A flowing collection of poetry that is also a guide for life.

A stunning example of poetic questioning.

For Rudolf Steiner, life can be truly understood only if it is experienced as art is experienced, as inner activities expressed through physical materials. On this ground of the union of inner experience and sensory life, he developed his unique, holistic approach to education. Richards views Steiner schools as expressing a new educational consciousness appropriate for our time, a "grammar of interconnections" among scientific observational, artistic imagination, religious reverence, and practical activity in which every part bears a deep connection.

A fascinating study about a uniquely artistic individual.

A flowing collection of poetry that is also a guide for life.

Writings from the perspective of creation theology and the search for new spiritual values.

At midlife, Mary Rose O'Reilley reflects on her past and her hard-won sense of self. She is determined, now, not to sacrifice or waste her self. She has struggled for years along the paths set by her suburban childhood, her Catholic upbringing, her failed marriage, and the mute duties of daughterhood. Now, she is trying to see the world through the eyes of the deer that stop outside her window and look in at her. As a wildlife rehabilitator, she feels a closer connection to the natural world as experienced by animals. As an apprentice potter, she sees in a Japanese tea bowl the ultimate balance of action and contemplation. As a Quaker, she can both sit still and sing. And as a writer, O'Reilley can speak clearly to readers at midlife who are expected to know it all, but don't.

As a pioneer of the French New Wave, Jacques Rivette was one of a group of directors who permanently altered the world's perception of cinema by taking the camera out of the studios and into the streets. His films, including Paris nous appartient, Out 1: Noli me tangere, Céline et Julie vont en bateau--Phantom Ladies Over Paris, La belle noiseuse, Secret défense, and Va savoir are extraordinary combinations of intellectual depth, playfulness, and sensuous beauty. In this study of Rivette, Mary M. Wiles provides a thorough account of the director's career from the burgeoning French New Wave to the present day, focusing on the theatricality of Rivette's films and his explorations of the relationship between cinema and fine arts such as painting, literature, music, and dance. Wiles also explores the intellectual interests that shaped Rivette's approach to film, including Sartre's existentialism, Barthes's structuralism, and the radical theater of the 1960s. The volume concludes with Wiles's insightful interview with Rivette.

This book contains a true story of a woman who, from childhood, learned the value of money, hustled, and went into adulthood through an abundance of trials, tribulations, and even a tragedy to have money. Only to discover that the path she chose to get what she wanted was a path of destruction and trouble, with high stakes and everything to lose, including her life. An action-packed novel that is educational, provocative, and inspirational, offering knowledge to all its readers.

A compelling collection of 366 stories about women's lives, told from the perspective of three generations. The authors (a grandmother, mother, and daughter team) listened to women from all walks of life telling the truth of their lives. Sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, stories may be read as daily reflections or as very short stories.
