Book Description
“A compulsively readable story. I was breathless and battling tears up until the very last stunning turns onstage and beyond. A dazzling, heart-wrenching debut.” —Nova Ren Suma, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Walls Around Us Would you die for the Prize? Best friends Marine Duval and Kate Sanders have trained since childhood at the Paris Opera Ballet School, where they’ve forged an inseparable bond through shared stories of family tragedies and a powerful love for dance. When the body of a student is found in the dorms just before the start of their final year, Marine and Kate begin to ask themselves how far they would go for the ultimate prize: to be named the one girl who will join the Opera’s prestigious corps de ballet. Would they cheat? Seduce the most talented boy in the school, dubbed the Demigod, hoping his magic will make them shine, too? Would they risk death for it? Neither girl is sure. But then Kate gets closer to the Demigod, even as Marine has begun to capture his heart. And as selection day draws near, the competition—for the Prize, for the Demigod—becomes fiercer, and Marine and Kate realize they have everything to lose, including each other. Bright Burning Stars is a stunning, propulsive story about girls at their physical and emotional extremes, the gutting power of first love, and what it means to fight for your dreams.

Book Description
Twelve parsecs before Christmas, aimed at nowhere Montana, Comes a hurting heart who’s never heard of Santa. He seeks a mail order bride for his half-broken family And turns out, there’s a lonely Earther named Darcy. Except, oops, she doesn’t believe in aliens from afar. But her gift this winter will be love, bright as a star. Failed cryo-sleep + a spaceship crash + some cozy family chaos… It’s Christmas at the Big Sky Intergalactic Dating Agency! 🐲 Alien dragon shifters 🤔 Touch of amnesia 🛏 Only one pillow fort ❄ Snowbound (but plenty of cocoa and cookies) 💖 Home for the holidays After getting dumped right before a Caribbean Christmas, Darcy needed a place to spend the holiday. Petsitting at a mysterious resort in Montana, while the whole place is closed for a winter break, seems like exactly what she wants: peaceful, quiet, and alone. Until a spaceship—?!?!?—makes a very hard landing on the back patio. Now she’s getting a crash course in drakling head wounds, interstellar hardware, and hearts broken worse than hers. This catastrophe definitely calls for extra whipped cream with chocolate sprinkles. The universe might be near infinite, but sometimes it’s the littlest things—whether wrapped in ribbons or unwrapped in the middle of the night—that matter most. Happy Holidays!

A General Theory of Visual Culture
Author: Whitney Davis
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400836433
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
What is cultural about vision--or visual about culture? In this ambitious book, Whitney Davis provides new answers to these difficult and important questions by presenting an original framework for understanding visual culture. Grounded in the theoretical traditions of art history, A General Theory of Visual Culture argues that, in a fully consolidated visual culture, artifacts and pictures have been made to be seen in a certain way; what Davis calls "visuality" is the visual perspective from which certain culturally constituted aspects of artifacts and pictures are visible to informed viewers. In this book, Davis provides a systematic analysis of visuality and describes how it comes into being as a historical form of vision. Expansive in scope, A General Theory of Visual Culture draws on art history, aesthetics, the psychology of perception, the philosophy of reference, and vision science, as well as visual-cultural studies in history, sociology, and anthropology. It provides penetrating new definitions of form, style, and iconography, and draws important and sometimes surprising conclusions (for example, that vision does not always attain to visual culture, and that visual culture is not always wholly visible). The book uses examples from a variety of cultural traditions, from prehistory to the twentieth century, to support a theory designed to apply to all human traditions of making artifacts and pictures--that is, to visual culture as a worldwide phenomenon.
