As the day breaks, spilling warm, honeyed light over Cairo, Florine Asch sets out with her sketchpad, pencils and paintbrushes. In her journey through this ancient and mysterious land, Florine will encounter the majesty of the sandstone hills of Abu Simbel, the wonder of the pyramids of Giza, and the baroque elegance of Cairo's grand interiors. From the tranquility of a felucca floating down the Nile to the bustle of the spice stalls in the marketplace, and from the harmony of shepherds inthe pastures along the riverbank to the opulance of Egypt's grandest hotels, the life of the city, the beauty of the desert and the rich hues of sand and stone, all come to life under her brush.--Cover.

Lucifer's Sketchbook is the five-decade-long autobiography of Jennifer Svensen, a troubled child who turns into an angry teenager, provocative and controversial supermodel, and glamorous fashion house owner and designer. She battles lost love, guilt, and remorse due to a regretful past, as she struggles to navigate her life onto safer paths. Jennifer was born in Norway in 1966 to an acclaimed international supermodel and a mediocre musician. The result of a one night stand, her parents tie the knot in an attempt to save face, but soon discover that family and the local media are unforgiving. They escape to America. Raised in Beverly Hills by jet-setter parents and deprived of parental love and attention, Jennifer is angry at the world. This strikingly beautiful, reckless soul is in constant search for love and adrenaline intoxication. Smart and constantly battling an aching conscience, she keeps trying to win the man she loves by hurting herself and everyone around her. This provocative novel explores young love taken to a new level. It offers a glimpse into the American fashion scene that few will ever experience except through the pages of the tabloids.

Egyptian Motherload is a wild ride through American popular music of the 20th century, from Jazz to Blues, from Psychedelic Rock to Funk and beyond, following The Prophet’s life and transformations—and all the people: family, friends, bandmates, and enemies he changes along the way—on the strangest musical journey of all.

Classic Sketchbook: Cats shows how it's done by showing museum-quality works, then coaching you to try the techniques with the help an expert's suggestions. Whether scribbling out a quick sketch with minimal detail, or making a finished portrait where every silky hair and polished whisker stands out, the best cat artists can capture the very essence of feline-ness. How do they do it? Firsthand observation of cats will tell you a lot about the way they sit, yawn, tweak their tails, and curl up to sleep, but it won't tell you how to get those things down on paper. Classic Sketchbook: Cats is the second in a series of instructional books that began with Classic Sketchbook: Botanicals. The series shows how to draw your subjects by looking at the details of museum-quality works, then coaching you through the techniques with the help an expert's suggestions. In this case the expert is Patricia Wynne, a noted illustrator with a specialty in animals. Wynne will guide you through fur, paws, and eyes, as well as cats sleeping, playing, or pouncing. Her unique instructions places a close-up of a drawing or painting by a noted artist like Gauguin, Chardin, Gwen John, and Theodore Steinlen on the left side of the page. And on the right side of the page Patricia Wynne coaches you with detailed, step-by-step drawings, that illuminate the process.

The seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza-also known as Benedict or Bento de Spinoza-spent the most intense years of his short life writing. He also carried with him a sketchbook. After his sudden death, his friends rescued letters, manuscripts, notes-but no drawings. For years, without knowing what its pages might hold, John Berger has imagined finding Bento's sketchbook, wanting to see the drawings alongside his surviving words. When one day a friend gave him a beautiful virgin sketchbook, Berger said, "This is Bento's!" and he began to draw, taking his inspiration from the philosopher's vision. In this illustrated color book John Berger uses the imaginative space he creates to explore the process of drawing, politics, storytelling and Spinoza's life and times.
