Book Description
If you’re one of the more than 15 million stepmothers in the country, you know the particular trials—and joys—of stepfamily dynamics today. You wonder if you’re doing the right thing and, as a stepmother, many of your specific questions are unique. In this second edition of Stepmotherhood: How to Survive Without Feeling Frustrated, Left Out, or Wicked, journalist and stepmother Cherie Burns brings together countless insights and sound advice, based on the latest research and interviews with experts in the field (including dozens of other stepmoms), to answer questions such as: • How do you manage discipline when parents and stepparents disagree? • How can you help stepsiblings get along? • How do you handle birthdays, holidays, and weddings? • What’s the best way to get along with your stepchild’s mother? • When should you seek a therapist’s help? Burns’s wise and empathetic suggestions go beyond struggle, stigma, and compromise, showing how sensitive, informed stepmothers can take charge—and pride—in their role, becoming more effective and fulfilled.

Book Description
Poetry. "When a poem enlarges my world, I am happy. When a book is filled with one such poem after another, all singing on the page, I am joyful. In IRIDESCENT GUEST celebrating the spirit of art is personal, as when the poet reads Edward Lear while caring for her children, or remembers a hometown musician making her way to Sunday service, 'I grow as old as Old / Grace Greene / who learned by feel / each gravel curve...' I am grateful for this book and will hold it close for consolation, as I navigate the future."--Donna Hilbert "IRIDESCENT GUEST--stunning, glinting. Striding out of the ordinary, these poems shimmer morose and joyful, ominous and light-hearted. Sarah White surveys our perilous, our exquisite world with a solvent 'personhood' sans ego and pretense. The IRIDESCENT GUEST brings great self-knowledge to bear in her bouquet...presents no small effort of stretching and reaching to the limits in order to wreathe masterfully, both the consolation and the forlornness of our mortal coil. This guest pays homage to the art gods, the kitchen gods, and to the children--silver, mutable, delicate...solvent and sure."--Karen Garthe "Sarah White dedicates IRIDESCENT GUEST with affection and gratitude to the Muses and Makers around her and goes on to celebrate many of them by name in her poems. It's soon obvious to the reader that White has lived a rich and long life, shaped by art, music, literature, and philosophy. Many older poets write gloomily of their approaching deadline. Not White (although she does claim to hate the young blonde in the locker room 'that smells of envy and chlorine'). In her final section, "Beautiful Adieux," White warmly remembers loved ones lost but tells her kids, 'I mean to 'End,' / not to 'Pass.'' She'd like her ashes to evaporate, to fall as rain...'over the tombs of Dickinson and Beckett, / Rimbaud, Rembrandt, Manet, and Cassatt'--a final tribute to those who shaped her way of embracing the world with words. Certainly life shapes art, but for many people it's the other way around. When Sarah White says 'There is a wood / where the past is foretold, the future remembered,' we get a delicious shiver, realizing that here is a book that makes us feel that way, too."--Alarie Tennille

Book Description
Die Erdöl-Moderne ist ein lokales Phänomen der Geschichte Kuwaits, aber auch ein globales Ereignis und massgebliche Ursache des Klimawandels. Die Studie untersucht die Rolle von Erdöl in der visuellen Kultur Kuwaits im Kontext von Ideologien wie Modernisierung und politischer Repräsentation. Der Begriff des Irisierenden, eines in Regenbogenfarben schillernden Farbenspiels, dient als analytisch-ästhetisches Konzept, um den umstrittenen Beitrag von Erdöl in der Moderne zu diskutieren: sowohl Wohlstandsversprechen wie auch destruktive Kraft in soziokultureller und ökologischer Hinsicht. Das Buch versammelt eine Fülle historischen Bildmaterials, darunter Luft- und Farbfotografien, Briefmarken, Stadtpläne und Architekturdarstellungen, um unter Berücksichtigung von zeitgenössischer Kunst aus der Golfregion das visuelle Erbe der Erdöl- Moderne kritisch zu hinterfragen.

But Genevieve rose from those ashes of grief and built a fashion empire that was respected the world over, even when it meant neglecting her other son. When Emma's own mother died, her father abandoned her on his mother's doorstep. Genevieve took Emma in and reluctantly raised her--until Emma got pregnant her senior year of high school. Genevieve kicked her out with nothing but the clothes on her back...but Emma took with her the most important London possession: the strength not just to survive but to thrive. And indeed, Emma has built a wonderful life for herself and her teenage daughter, Riley. So what is Emma to do when Genevieve does the one thing Emma never expected of her and, after not speaking to her for nearly two decades, calls and asks for help?
