Book Description
Stars die in one of two ways. So slowly that each layer burning out feels like agony ... or suddenly, exploding into a million pieces before the universe even has a grasp of what is happening. When Paxton Shaw left Demi Rosen without so much as a goodbye, he stole her shine in both manners. Now, eight years later, he's trying to pull her back into his orbit. The nation's most beloved football player, a tight end with a seriously tight end, has finally realized Demi is the one who got away. But she's a different woman than the weak girl who used to come running whenever he called in the middle of the night. Strong, successful, her life's mission being to grant the wishes of children whose flames have all but been extinguished. And untouchable, as dark and cold as a midnight sky with no moon in sight. When one special child forces their star-crossed paths to collide, it's impossible to keep the feelings of their past buried. Paxton had been her Halley's Comet; the once in a lifetime love that scorched Demi's heart in the most spectacular of fashions. She promised herself she would never make that mistake again. But, how can she forget the dreams of love she once had, when Paxton wants to make them come true?

Category : Children's stories
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Aaron is fascinated by a remarkable star that shines in the night sky. Every evening it seems bigger and brighter and more wondrous. Perhaps it's sending me a secret message, he thinks. He even dreams of the star, a dream that leads him to a stable on a cold winter night. When he awakens, the dream is forgotten amid the hustle and bustle in Bethlehem. The streets are filled with people coming to register for the census. All the houses are filled with travelers, and when Aaron meets a man and his wife and their little donkey searching for a place to stay, there is not a room left in all of Bethlehem. Then Aaron remembers the stable in his dream and so becomes a part of the great miracle of Christ's birth. The creator of the international best-selling Rainbow Fish books offers a special Christmas gift for families to share. The die-cut cover, featuring Pfister's signature holographic foil-stamping, will attract the reader's eye and the simple, moving Nativity story will speak to their hearts.

Slim Aarons: Style
Author: Shawn Waldron
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1647004748
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Glamorous fashions, personalities, and places captured by iconic photographer Slim Aarons Slim Aarons, at least according to the man himself, did not photograph fashion: “I didn’t do fashion. I did the people in their clothes that became the fashion.” But despite what he claimed, Aarons’s work is indelibly tied to fashion. Aarons’s incredibly influential photographs of high society and socialites being unambiguously themselves are still a source of inspiration for modern day style icons. Slim Aarons: Style showcases the photographs that both recorded and influenced the luminaries of the fashion world. This volume features early black-and-white fashion photography, as well as portraits of the fashionable elite—like Jacqueline de Ribes, C.Z. Guest, Nan Kempner, and Marisa Berenson—and those that designed the clothes, such as Oscar de la Renta, Emilio Pucci, Mary McFadden, and Lilly Pulitzer. Featuring some never-before-seen images and detailed captions written by fashion historians, Slim Aarons: Style is a collection of the photographer's most stylish work.

Book Description
“Page after page reveals an unreal world. . . . Socialites in their mansions, film stars by their pools. . . . Aarons earned the trust of the very rich—Jackie Kennedy, Princess Grace of Monaco, Imelda Marcos—and the very famous—Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe, Errol Flynn—as well as a passing parade of young women at play on yachts, at exclusive beach resorts or in their expensive homes.” —The Guardian Slim Aarons: Women explores the central subject of Slim Aarons’s career—the extraordinary women from the upper echelons of high society, the arts, fashion, and Hollywood. The book presents the women who most influenced Aarons’s life and work—and the other remarkable personalities he photographed along the way—including Audrey Hepburn, the Duchess of Windsor, Diana Vreeland, Esther Williams, Marianne Faithful, and Marlene Dietrich, all featured in unforgettable photographs. The collection contains more than 250 images, the majority of which have not appeared in previous books, along with detailed captions written by one of Aarons’s closest colleagues, Laura Hawk. Hawk writes in her introduction, “Slim’s visual narratives give us an intime glimpse into the world of the upper classes and their rituals in the pursuit of leisure. That his half century of work continues to captivate successive generations of admirers—and that this is the fifth book published of his photography—reveals not only a yearning for an irretrievable time gone by but also a universal fascination with the seeming forbidden worlds of wealth and privilege.” Showcasing beautiful women at their most glamorous in some of the most dazzling locations across the globe, Slim Aarons: Women is a fresh look at the acclaimed photographer through the muses who inspired his most incredible photographs.

Here is the work of Harold Cohen - the renowned abstract painter who, at the height of a celebrated career in the late 1960's, abandoned the international scene of museums and galleries and sequestered himself with the most powerful computers he could get his hands on.
