Picturebooks


Book Description

The picturebook is now recognized as a sophisticated art form that has provided a space for some of the most exciting innovations in the field of children’s literature. This book brings together the work of expert scholars from the UK, the USA and Europe to present original theoretical perspectives and new research on picturebooks and their readers. The authors draw on a variety of disciplines such as art and cultural history, semiotics, philosophy, cultural geography, visual literacy, education and literary theory in order to revisit the question of what a picturebook is, and how the best authors and illustrators meet and exceed artistic, narrative and cultural expectations. The book looks at the socio-historical conditions of different times and countries in which a range of picturebooks have been created, pointing out variations but also highlighting commonalities. It also discusses what the stretching of borders may mean for new generations of readers, and what contemporary children themselves have to say about picturebooks. This book was originally published as a special issue of the New Review of Children’s Literature and Librarianship.

Profit from Happiness


Book Description

"In his newest work, Jake Ducey outlines his plan for the next generation to take control of their futures and make money doing what they love. Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work. They are more productive, stimulated, and profitable than ever. They feel valued during the day and return home feeling accomplished and fulfilled at night. Jake Ducey argues that the groundbreaking difference between mediocrity and success has little to do with skills and brand recognition. It's about how we engage with those around us and how we broadcast--both inwardly and outwardly--our care, appreciation, and personality to the world. Billed as the "first millennial motivational speaker," Jake Ducey is the epitome of practicing what he preaches. His vision for the future is positive and accessible to a young audience, and his message is important for a generation often accused of terminal ennui. In the vein of classic works such as Think and Grow Rich and Chicken Soup for the Soul, this book explores Jake's simple plan, which can be used by anyone to bring more purpose, happiness, and riches into their lives"--
