Book Description
Nick Legeros, a resident of Edina, Minnesota and owner of Blue Ribbon Bronze studio and foundry in Minneapolis, Minnesota is one of the country's most prolific, creative and sought-after bronze sculptors. He is one of the increasingly rare bronze artists who not only create the clay model but pour and finish the bronze as well. A celebrated teacher, he was a student of the late sculptor and teacher Paul Granlund and through him back to Auguste Rodin. Nick's figurative art is displayed in parks, in places of worship and cemeteries. It adorns hospitals, decorates libraries, colleges and the University of Minnesota. It provides grand entrances to service organizations, enlivens corporate lobbies and presents peaceful enhancement to apartment complexes and condominium gardens. From children and whimsical animals to winning athletic icons, from saints to monsignors to CEOs, his work stands for those beloved, those lost and great and good things imagined. He also creates pieces in collaboration with other artists including noted glass artists and muralists. Legeros is distinctive in his business model: to make a living as an artist, he works on commission for clients who seek to express the inexpressible. This biography of a beloved American artist working in the Midwest also instructs and inspires artists young and old.

Book Description
Minneapolis began at the Falls of St. Anthony, the sole waterfall on the Mississippi River. The cataract, the great hydrological engine, propelled the city's economic growth and physical expansion, and two distinct municipal identities emerged. A city of seasons, Minneapolis celebrates winter flurries and chills with ice skating and hot chocolate at the annual Holidazzle Festival. In the sultry midsummer heat, the Aquatennial brings swimmers and boating enthusiasts to the Chain of Lakes and the river. Landmarks, too, define the topography-Spoonbridge and Cherry, the Stone Arch and Hennepin Avenue Bridges, the Foshay Tower and the IDS Center. Join local authors Sherman Wick and Holly Day on a trip beyond the typical guidebook as they explore the architecture, parks and historical figures of the Mill City.

Book Description
The classic guide to enlightened living that first presented the Buddhist path of the warrior to a Western audience There is a basic human wisdom that can help solve the world’s problems. It doesn’t belong to any one culture or region or religious tradition—though it can be found in many of them throughout history. It’s what Chögyam Trungpa called the sacred path of the warrior. The sacred warrior conquers the world not through violence or aggression, but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. The warrior discovers the basic goodness of human life and radiates that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. Interpreting the warrior's journey in contemporary terms, Trungpa shows that, in discovering the basic goodness of human life, the warrior learns to radiate that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. That’s what the Shambhala teachings are all about—and this is the book that has been presenting them to a wide and appreciative audience for more than twenty years.
