Then Gardner, with his smart head for figures, manages to get an unpaid internship at a top brokerage firm: fate has given him a kind of bridging loan between a grindingly poor present and a possible comfortable future. ![]() His wife (Thandie Newton) leaves him and he and his boy are in desperate straits. Will Smith plays Gardner, a blue-collar guy who cares about standards: he complains about the misspelling of "happiness" on the mural near his son's playschool. For some, the fact that this is about poverty overcome and defeated will render the movie inauthentic or even mendacious. This was a man who managed to grow very rich, that most politically incorrect of things, by founding his own stockbroking firm. For all the film's occasional cheesiness, it's entertaining, good-natured and decently acted - and interesting in that it talks about the unglamorous subject of poverty. ![]() W ill Smith's new film is an old-fashioned Hollywood heartwarmer: a Horatio Alger-type tale based on the true story of US multi-millionaire Chris Gardner, who experienced hardship and homelessness before he found success. ![]() ![]() ![]() The "glass universe" of half a million plates that Harvard amassed over the ensuing decades-through the generous support of Mrs. As photography transformed the practice of astronomy, the ladies turned from computation to studying the stars captured nightly on glass photographic plates.

With a case of mistaken identity, a wickedly powerful exile out for vengeance, and time running out for their mother, the twins might just need to make their own magic to save the day. Enlisting a brave servant boy and his plucky black kitten as their guides, they set off on an epic quest to the Twists-a forbidden place full of dark magic-to find the evil mage who cursed the queen. ![]() But when the first magical attack in years puts their mother’s life in danger, the girls must break the rules that have protected them to save her. When magic was outlawed in Kaloon generations ago, twins, black cats, and other potentially -magical beings were outlawed, too. In fact, most of the kingdom thinks they’re the same person. Since they were born, Flissa and Sara have pretended to be one princess, Flissara, trading off royal duties like attending glamorous balls, participating in fencing exhibitions, and making friends with other young nobles, all while hiding in plain sight. Princesses Flissa and Sara are even closer than most twins. ![]() ![]() Their secret was out.Princesses Flissa and Sara are even closer than most twins. ![]() In the kingdom of Kaloon, nothing is quite as it seems….Y-y-y-you, he stammered, and Flissa turned to see he’d gone ashen. ![]() ![]() it's great fun thumbing the pages with Janeway, who knows his business and takes a keen, almost sensual pleasure in a virgin edition."- "The New York Times Book Review", "Bursting with inside dope about forged autographed copies and other dastardly examples of book fraud.

If you want something similar, check out A Is for Atom: A Midcentury Alphabet or the many other titles in the range such as J Is for Jazz: A Roaring Twenties Alphabet, M is for Monocle: A Victorian Alphabet, S is for School: A Classroom Alphabet, L Is for Love: A Heartfelt Alphabet and…well, you get the idea. Rock and roll, the space race, pop art, psychedelia and so on. The standout title for me are G Is for Go-Go: A Sixties Alphabet, a collection of 26 illustrations for toddlers using artwork inspired by the 1960s. In fact, so does some of the source material here too and if you like the idea of your child learning from something unashamedly retro (or you just want these books to complement your retro home), then you might want to pick some of these up. ![]() Yes, much of the illustration here takes its inspiration from the 1950s and 1960s. ![]() My new obsession is this range of vintage-style board books by Greg Paprocki for Gibbs Smith.Įach one is the work of Greg Paprocki, an illustrator and book designer from Nebraska in the USA and obviously a man who loves the mid-20th century. ![]() ![]() ![]() Meanwhile, I will be writing some interesting accounts from the book for you on this page so you can have a taste of this book's exhaustive research. ![]() Though I'm still reading this excellent piece of writing, a book review will be on the way shortly after it's completed. ![]() What makes this book unique is the use of those Urdu & Persian documents which contain the Bahadur Shah Zafar's courtroom diary, petitions of the commons towards Delhi Sultanate to take action against the British atrocities, daily life accounts of Delhi public, letters written by various notables to each other during that period & other documents which usually escape from historian's net. ![]() Nationalists wrote books from the Mughal & India's public perspective while British wrote about the subject from East India Company's perspective. However, the author states while introducing this book that most of the books already written have not accounted for almost 20,000 leaflets of Urdu & Persian literature (now predominantly available in National Archives of India) of that period. There are tons of books written on Mughal Dynasty, stating its traditions, domestic affairs, administration, etc. This book particularly covers the last decade of Mughal Dynasty & the period after 1857's "war of independence" as nationalist writers put it or "mutiny" as the British writers name it. ![]() |
