<p><strong>"A riveting page-turner that begs to be read quickly, compulsively. But page by page, this electrifying debut by Willa Richards weaves an increasingly complicated and dark tale of guilt, fury, and the danger of building stories on that shakiest of foundations, memory." ーElizabeth Wetmore, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Valentine</em></strong></p> <p><strong>Set in Milwaukee during the “Dahmer summer” of 1991, a remarkable debut novel for fans of Mary Gaitskill and Gillian Flynn about two sistersーone who disappears, and one who is left to pick up the pieces in the aftermath.</strong></p> <p>In the summer of 1991, a teenage girl named Dee McBride vanished in the city of Milwaukee. Nearly thirty years later, her sister, Peg, is still haunted by her sister's disappearance. Their mother, on her deathbed, is desperate to find out what happened to Dee so the family hires a psychic to help find Dee’s body and bring them some semblance of peace.</p> <p>The appearance of the psychic plunges Peg back to the past, to those final carefree months when she last saw Deeーthe summer the <em>Journal Sentinel</em> called “the deadliest . . . in the history of Milwaukee.” Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s heinous crimes dominated the headlines and overwhelmed local law enforcement. The disappearance of one girl was easily overlooked.</p> <p>Peg’s hazy recollections are far from easy for her to interpret, assess, or even keep clear in her mind. And now digging deep into her memory raises doubts and difficultーeven terrifyingーquestions. Was there anything Peg could have done to prevent Dee’s disappearance? Who was really to blame for the family's loss? How often are our memories altered by the very act of voicing them? And what does it mean to bear witness in a world where even our own stories are inherently suspect?</p> <p>A heartbreaking page-turner, Willa C. Richards’s novel is the story of a broken family looking for answers in the face of the unknown, and asks us to reconsider the power and truth of memory.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。・・・楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>When Igor Stravinsky's ballet Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring) premiered during the 1913 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, its avant-garde music and jarring choreography scandalized audiences. Today it is considered one of the most influential musical works of the twentieth century. In this volume, the ballet finally receives the full critical attention it deserves, as distinguished music and dance scholars discuss the meaning of the work and its far-reaching influence on world music, performance, and culture. Essays explore four key facets of the ballet: its choreography and movement; the cultural and historical contexts of its performance and reception in France; its structure and use of innovative rhythmic and tonal features; and the reception of the work in Russian music history and theory. This version also includes audio and visual supplements designed to enhance understanding of this classic piece.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Este libro es fruto del entrelazamiento de cuatro voces. Su origen se sit?a en la conversaci?n que mantuvieron Mar?a Acaso y Luis Camnitzer, dos de las figuras que m?s han contribuido a cuestionar y replantear el papel y las relaciones entre el arte, la educaci?n y el conocimiento desde el Art Thinking, con ocasi?n de los encuentros organizados en Medialab-Prado en febrero de 2015. Junto a ellos, Andrea De Pascual y David Lanau, quienes comisariaron la conversaci?n para ofrecer en estas p?ginas una versi?n reelaborada y amplificada de las reflexiones de Acaso y Camnitzer, que dieron pie a exponer las suyas propias, as? como sus inquietudes y experiencias en su trabajo como “arteducadoras” en el colectivo Pedagog?as Invisibles. Desde la apuesta com?n de las cuatro de situar el pensamiento art?stico como vertebrador de lo educativo, esta obra indaga en las tensiones y dicotom?as que atraviesan las relaciones entre el arte y la educaci?n, dos ?mbitos tradicionalmente disociados, sobre todo en relaci?n al estatuto y legitimaci?n de sus saberes, profesionales e instituciones, abordadas aqu? a trav?s de las figuras del artista-museo y la profesora-escuela. Su an?lisis busca as? superar esta visi?n dicot?mica y promover el reconocimiento de otros aspectos y categor?as de an?lisis ?el car?cter desordenado e “indisciplinado” del conocimiento; su car?cter l?dico y po?tico, la delincuencia o desobediencia ligadas a las figuras de artista y docente; el potencial de la ignorancia activa para fomentar el autodidactismo; la necesidad de crear espacios alternativos al inmovilismo institucional, etc.? . Con ello han querido mostrar c?mo la combinaci?n de estas dos disciplinas puede servir de catalizador para la innovaci?n pedag?gica, el pensamiento cr?tico y la transformaci?n social.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Russell Lee (1903-1986) began working as a photographer for the Historical Section of the Resettlement Administration (RA) in 1936. He continued with the organization for the next six years as it became the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later part of the Office of War Information (OWI). His tenure was longer than any other photographer for the organization and his output the most prolific. He shot over 25,000 of the 175,000 negatives in the FSA-OWI Black-and-White Negatives Collection.</p> <p>While his most iconic shots have been in the public consciousness for almost a century and the FSA-OWI collections have now been digitized and are available for free, the vast majority of his work will likely remain unknown to the general public unless curated into more finite and convenient experiences. The aim of this series of books is to provide those experiences and allow the reader to explore different aspects of Russell Lee's monumental work in depth.</p> <p>This first book presents all 183 color images by Russell Lee that are part of the FSA-OWI Color Photographs Collection. They move with Lee all over the country as his assignments lead him to a rural dance in Oklahoma, a peach orchard in Colorado, a harvest in Pie Town, New Mexico, the building of the Shasta dam, a scrap depot in Montana, and a Japanese American internment camp in California.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
