European Drawings 4

Catalogue of the Collections

By: Nicholas Turner

The collection of drawings at the Getty Museum was started in 1981 with the purchase of Rembrandt’s Nude Woman with a Snake and has steadily expanded since then, so that now, at the turn of the new millennium, it stands at more than six hundred drawings and is, sheet for sheet, one of the best anywhere. The Getty goal is to create from the finest examples a collection of the different Western European schools of drawing before 1900, with special emphasis on the work of the most important and accomplished draftsmen. The collection now contains superb examples of the work of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Dürer, Rembrandt, Claude Lorraine, Watteau, Gainsborough, David, Millet, Manet, Van Gogh, and Degas. This is the fourth in the series of catalogues describing the drawings in the Getty Museum. Most of the drawings discussed in the present volume were chosen for the collection in the period of 1994 to 1998 and include examples from the Italian, German, Dutch and Flemish, French, Spanish, and British schools. Also included are several gifts from private collectors, which mark the start of a tradition that, it is hoped, will continue in the future. The catalogue entries for these new acquisitions are organized first by national school and then by artist. The book also includes a bibliography and indexes of artists, former owners, related drawings, prints, and works in other media.

Navigating the Journey of a Lifetime

By: Donna P. Turner

Your life is a journey in and of itself. It is full of twists and turns, highs and lows, successes, failures and more. How you navigate your unique, personal journey will build character, integrity, and resilience while equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed for your greatness in the world. Navigating the Journey of a Lifetime explores how one woman allowed rejection, disappointment, insecurity, and fear to build character, confidence, resilience, and esteem. She shifted her attitude from one of “I can’t”, to “I can”, and “I will”. The choice is yours: will you allow your journey to build character and equip you for greatness in the world, or will you allow it to stifle you and cause you to settle for a place of mediocrity?

God Is a Strong Shelter

Weathering Storms through Reading Psalms

By: Johnny Turner

God Is a Strong Shelter: Weathering the Storms through Reading Psalms brings faith to the center stage for believers. It is a spiritual roadmap and guide that reflects the Bible for the ultimate answer and a practical, biblical, and theological resource for the church to take a deep dive into the Psalms. The primary focus is to carefully examine the psalms for hope and protection in a world of persuasive tactics of scheming. Believers are encouraged to trust God by reading what I call the Great Affirmation of faith in Ps 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." This book tells how the psalmists communicated to God amid personal encounters with enemies during turbulences of life.

The Season

By: Hilda Bridget Turner

The Season

By: Hilda Bridget Turner

I was born on February 8, 1951 in a small migrant camp town in Southeast Florida. This mostly hot sandy little community was called Indiantown. My mother was a nineteen years old along, who with her father David and other siblings, lived at this camp during the seasonal months of 1950. They worked picking vegetables out in the enormous fields owned by local farmers for what little money they could make. This money was to be taken back home to care for the rest of the family. Times were hard and the family needed money to make ends meet. My grandmother, Annie Mae, was at home, a two-hour drive north in central Florida. She was caring for all the younger children. David and Annie Mae came to Florida in 1950; their children would always tease them by saying . . . . "We left Carolina in 1949 and got to Florida in 1950". Of course it was late December when they left, and January 1st by the time they arrived.

Tornado

By: Merle Turner

Merle Turner is a retired academic with a background in Experimental Psychology and the Philosophy of Science. If called upon to append a label to himself he would reach into literary tradition to style himself a "romantic realist." i.e. the admixture of invention and realism. When asked if there is a single theme that might percolate through his stories, he responded that "ventures into quandary" might come close. He is the author of Psychology and the Philosophy of Science, Philosophy and the Science of Behavior, Realism and the Explanation of Behavior, and in his search for romance, Celestial for the Cruising Navigator. Other publications include two collections of Quatroons (quatrains illustrated by a cartoon).

The Victorians and the Eighteenth Century

Reassessing the Tradition

By: Francis O'Gorman,Katherine Turner

Disrupting the common assumption that the Victorians regarded their eighteenth-century predecessors with little interest or with disdain, this volume re-examines these relationships, exposing some of the significant and complex ways in which key aspects and texts of the eighteenth century were situated, read, and transacted with during the post-Romantic nineteenth century. The contributors challenge long-held assumptions about Victorian uses of the past, and offer new insights into how the literature and culture of the eighteenth century helped shape the culture and identity of the nineteenth. This collection of essays by an impressive array of scholars, with a Preface by David Fairer, offers a sharply new assessment of the energizing place of eighteenth-century literature and culture in the nineteenth century. While obviously of great interest to students of eighteenth-century and Victorian literature, the collection will also appeal to readers broadly concerned questions of literary influence, periodization, and historiography.

And We Shall Learn through the Dance

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

And We Shall Learn through the Dance

Liturgical Dance as Religious Education

By: Kathleen S. Turner

Liturgical dance is a way to present, reflect, instruct, learn, study, and share religious beliefs with one's self, within one's worship community, and with one's God. Such a belief is confirmed and witnessed within a variety of religious settings throughout the world from the beginning of time to this present age. However, there is a vacuum of resources that connect liturgical dance within the Christian context as a tool for religious learning within the field of religious education. With the continual rise of liturgical dance as an artistic form of expression, this book proposes that liturgical dance offers unique attributes conducive to the teaching and learning of faith and to faith formation. Kathleen S. Turner shows how liturgical dance is religious education in two very important ways: first, by addressing the power and potential liturgical dance has in nourishing the faith life of Christian congregants through means that are both educative and reflective; and second, by giving examples of how liturgical dance can be implemented as a religious-education tool within the teaching life of the church.

Expert Teaching

Knowledge and Pedagogy to Lead the Profession

By: Rosie Bisset Turner

This book is aimed at teachers who wish to improve their professional practice and will help them to think about current practice, not only in terms of skills and competences to be developed, but also areas of knowledge to be enriched. The model of knowledge bases presented is a valuable framework for reflecting on practice and for analyzing professional development needs. The book is therefore an ideal text for teachers taking courses that may lead towards an advanced qualification in teaching or who are undertaking in-service training and action research programs. Teachers approaching 'threshold assessment' will find the book useful in reflecting on the quality of their teaching.

Power from on High

The Spirit in Israel's Restoration and Witness in Luke-Acts

By: Max Turner

Power from on High offers the first critical survey of scholarship on the subject of Luke's view of the Spirit, assessing the rival theories by means of three criteria: continuity with Luke's background, relationship to other aspects of Luke's theology, and Luke's place in the development of more general New Testament thinking about the Spirit. Turner provides fresh insight on specific Lukan concepts and favored terms (including such phrases as "full of the Holy Spirit" and "baptize with the Holy Spirit") that have been of significance not merely for the discipline of New Testament studies but also for confessional theologies of major streams of Christianity today, and seeks to advance a more coherent understanding of the general shape of Luke's pneumatology than has hitherto been offered.

The Making of the Environmental Movement

David Brower

The Making of the Environmental Movement

By: Tom Turner

In this first comprehensive authorized biography of David Brower, a dynamic leader in the environmental movement over the last half of the twentieth century, Tom Turner explores Brower's impact on the movement from its beginnings until his death in 2000. Frequently compared to John Muir, David Brower was the first executive director of the Sierra Club, founded Friends of the Earth, and helped secure passage of the Wilderness Act, among other key achievements. Tapping his passion for wilderness and for the mountains he scaled in his youth, he was a central figure in the creation of the Point Reyes National Seashore and of the North Cascades and Redwood national parks. In addition, Brower worked tirelessly in successful efforts to keep dams from being built in Dinosaur National Monument and the Grand Canyon. Tom Turner began working with David Brower in 1968 and remained close to him until Brower’s death. As an insider, Turner creates an intimate portrait of Brower the man and the decisive role he played in the development of the environmental movement. Culling material from Brower’s diaries, notebooks, articles, books, and published interviews, and conducting his own interviews with many of Brower’s admirers, opponents, and colleagues, Turner brings to life one of the movement's most controversial and complex figures.

A Song

A life story is like a long poem and with a voice it becomes a song

By: David Turner

This is a very human story that touches the hearts of many. Jim’s childhood memories are of family life in a gritty inner city suburb of Sydney, then, as pioneers in the bush. In his teens he goes to live it up in the exciting night district of Kings Cross. He meets artists of all kinds and discovers his own artistic sensibilities. After graduation from university he makes a career as an architect, retires, goes to London, and then in 1990 settles in Paris. From Paris, for the next 25 years, he discovers the world through the lens of his camera. He writes it all down. Jim’s story begins with childhood memories of his life in a gritty inner city suburb of Sydney. It was wild and exciting for a five year-old but for his asthmatic mother the toxic environment was intolerable. They move and become the pioneers in a new outer bush suburb. In teenage he finds a room in the night district of Kings Cross, mixes with artists and discovers his own sensibilities. He goes to university, graduates, and makes his career as an architect. He retires in 1989 and then takes residence in Paris. This begins a second life of travel and writing. His story is enriched by his wonderful, keenly observed descriptions of places, as exotically various as the Zen Buddhist temple he sojourned in Kyoto; Maharashtra, where he photographed traditional farm and village life; the slums of Calcutta where he nearly died; Havana, where he learned what living under communism is like; Moscow and St. Petersburg at the fall of the Soviet Union; Manhattan during the first Obama election, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Krakow, Florence, Hong Kong, and small provincial towns in France. But it is other people that interest us most. He meets with so many types, each remarkable in their own ways. His story is easy to read, not without humour, and lyrical in style.
