“A tender and thoughtful rendering of an important artist’s life. Sam Nakahira uses the power and beauty of comics to its fullest to immerse you in the mind and genius of Ruth Asawa. As soon as I finished it, I wanted to read it again!”—Tillie Walden, Eisner Award-winning cartoonist and illustrator Brave, unconventional, and determined, Ruth Asawa let nothing stop her from living a life intertwined with art. Renowned for her innovative wire sculptures, Japanese American artist Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) was a teenager in Southern California when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States entered World War II. Japanese Americans on the West Coast were forced into camps. Asawa’s family had to abandon their farm, her father was incarcerated, and she and the rest of her family were sent to a detention center in California, and later to a concentration camp in Arkansas. Asawa nurtured her dreams of becoming an artist while imprisoned and eventually made her way to the experimental Black Mountain College in North Carolina. This graphic biography by Sam Nakahira, developed in consultation with Asawa’s younger daughter, Addie Lanier, chronicles the genesis of Asawa as an artist—from the horror of Pearl Harbor to her transformative education at Black Mountain College to building her life in San Francisco, where she would further develop and refine her groundbreaking sculpture. Asawa never sought fame, preferring to work on her own terms: for her, art and life were one. Using lively illustrations and a dozen photographs of Asawa’s artwork, Ruth Asawa: An Artist Takes Shape is a graphic retelling of her young adult years and demonstrates the transformative power of making art.

Sometimes artists are asked to reconstruct faces from the past using copies of their skulls. Then these nameless, unknown people can be "brought back to life"--remembered, and honored.

Why most of the people you know will never become financially independentEver wondered why close to 70% of the country’s wealth goes to 10% of the population?Want to know what mistakes keep the bottom 90% from becoming rich?Looking for tips on how youcould become part of the top 10%?If you’re reading this, chances are you already understand one of the sadder truths about today’s education system.Now, this has got nothing to do with the teachers. In fact, it’s got more to do with the students.Here’s why:That statistic above — 10% of the population owns almost 70% of the wealth in America — it’s not just some made-up number copied off some random site.It’s from a report published by the U.S. Federal Reserve.Now, when most people see that number, they tend to think it’s “unfair.” That the financial system is “rigged.”And that’s exactly why 56% of the population don’t have enough money to cover a $1000 emergency expense, according to CNBC… why 45% of six-figure earners are still living paycheck-to-paycheck… and why the bottom 90% regularly own less than a third of the nation’s wealth.It’s a problem that goes much deeper than the financial system… or the education system… or pretty much any system there is. And it all comes down to one common fact:Herd mentality.Think about the difference between you and your classmates. Most people you know are doing what everyone else is doing — taking the same standard courses and studying for the same standardized tests. That’s why you’re reading this and they’re not.Because you’ve realized that doing what’s “standard” only leads to standard results. Like a standard job. Making standard money. Living a standard life.And if you don’t want to be just standard… if you want to become part of that top 10%... that means doing what 90% of the population won’t.That’s where this book comes in, and what makes this particular personal finance guide so different from all the rest. It covers tips and bits of information that go beyond what they teach in school, like simple wealth-creation strategies that even adults know nothing about.Here’s a quick look at what you’ll discover inside:The key difference between being rich and being wealthy, and the 5 habits that can help you build a solid base of wealth, even if you’re barely 19The simple formula that can help you figure out how to double your money with just a few minutes of mental mathThe two financial traps that even rich people fall for, and how you can avoid them altogetherHow inflation “strangles” your savings and dreams of retirement, and what you can do to stay ahead of the curveWhat to look for when picking a savings account7 factors to keep in mind when finding a place to live that directly affect your financesHow to make a living without getting a “traditional” jobAnd much more!Now, if you think you can afford to hold off planning for the future and just figure things out later on, then this book probably isn’t for you. Because the truth is the people who will benefit the most from this guide don’t need to be persuaded that planning ahead pays off.So it’s up to you. You can either use the information everyone else is using to get the same, standard results. Or you can find out what most people are too lazy to understand about turning money into long-term wealth.If you’re ready to fast-track your financial independence, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.

The story of the extraordinary life and art of a renowned female sculptor of realistic animal statuesDreaming with Animals is the first children's biography of celebrated sculptor and Brookgreen Gardens cofounder Anna Hyatt Huntington. Her remarkable life serves as an inspiration not only because of the greatness of her art but also because of her courage and perseverance. L. Kerr Dunn highlights how Anna overcame society's expectations of women and survived a life-threatening illness to become a prolific sculptor and an important benefactor of art and wildlife until her death at age ninety-seven.As a young woman, Anna moved to New York City at a time when American women of her class rarely lived alone or worked outside the home. Although she studied briefly under famous sculptors, she soon felt restless and left art school and began to teach herself to sculpt animals by watching them closely, trying to see the animal's true spirit and then representing that spirit in her work. Over time Anna established herself as an important animalier, an artist specializing in realistic portrayals of animals. By 1915 she was one of only ten American women artists earning enough money from the sales of her art to support herself. Later, with her husband, Archer Huntington, Anna founded South Carolina sculpture garden and wildlife preserve Brookgreen Gardens, the country's first public sculpture garden and the world's largest collection of figurative sculpture by American artists in an outdoor setting.This biography provides engaging details of Anna's life, such as her tendency as a child to lie in pastures studying horses; her travels around the country with her husband in a trailer full of monkeys, dogs, and birds; and the couple's purchase of a zoo. In Dreaming with Animals, Dunn has provided us with an affecting portrait of a strong, capable, talented, and innovative woman Robin R. Salmon, vice president for collections and curator of sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens, provides a foreword. Read more
