The meadow’s grass was probably planted a year or so ahead of mine, which means I can anticipate similar pink clouds wafting above my yard this autumn. In 2020, I had planted some muhly grass along my front sidewalk, not really knowing what to expect. I’m still amazed that this airy pastel plant is native to the Mid-Atlantic. Last October, as I approached the two-acre meadow at the Delaware Botanic Gardens, I had to grin at the improbable cotton-candy clouds of pink muhly grass. A photographic anthology of his greatest outdoor work as well as a poetic ode to his creativity (thanks to several essays by his contemporaries), it offers a complete look at Oudolf and his legacy. “That happened when I met plants.”Ī new book Piet Oudolf: At Work, published tomorrow by Phaidon, proves how inarguable his impact is. “I always had a strong feeling that I could do something different,” Oudolf previously said. (Just to name a few.) Currently, most consider him the most famous person in his field. But, hundreds of millions of people have: The Dutch landscape designer is the mastermind behind New York City’s High Line and Battery Park, Chicago’s Lurie Garden in Millennium Park, London’s Queen Elizabeth Park, the entry to Toronto’s Botanical Garden, and the Vitra Campus in Southwest Germany. It is probably an exaggeration to say everyone has walked through a Piet Oudolf garden. The Beautiful Perennial Gardens of Piet Oudolf, the World’s Greatest Living Landscape Designer

Cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom used 35 mm film, as opposed to employing digital cinematography. Call Me by Your Name was financed by several international companies, and its principal photography took place mainly in the city and comune of Crema, Lombardy, between May and June 2016. Guadagnino had joined the project as a location scout, and eventually became sole director and co-producer. Ivory had been chosen to co-direct with Guadagnino, but stepped down in 2016. The film also stars actresses Amira Casar, Esther Garrel, and Victoire Du Bois.ĭevelopment began in 2007 when producers Peter Spears and Howard Rosenman optioned the rights to Aciman's novel. Set in 1983 in northern Italy, Call Me by Your Name chronicles the romantic relationship between a 17-year-old, Elio Perlman ( Timothée Chalamet), and Oliver ( Armie Hammer), a 24-year-old graduate-student assistant to Elio's father Samuel ( Michael Stuhlbarg), an archaeology professor. The film is the final instalment in Guadagnino's thematic "Desire" trilogy, after I Am Love (2009), and A Bigger Splash (2015). Its screenplay, by James Ivory, who also co-produced, is based on the 2007 novel of the same title by André Aciman. Call Me by Your Name (Italian: Chiamami col tuo nome) is a 2017 coming-of-age romantic drama film directed by Luca Guadagnino. En route, he sailed, dominated, and forsook New York Harbor, the Hudson, Long Island Sound, the route from New York to San Francisco via Central America, and the North Atlantic.Ī creature of the water from the start, he became an amphibian when he linked Boston and New York by water and rail. He ended as the master of a railroad empire linking the Hudson to Lake Michigan. Over 66 years, Vanderbilt (1794–1877) devoted himself to one business: transportation. These corrections, amid an extraordinary wealth of learning and insight about a great man and his times, can be found in the meticulously researched and brilliantly written The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt by T. He left it to his son William to damn the public, and the irresistible potato chip myth - the crusty Commodore sends back fried potatoes as insufficiently thin and salty, and the equally crusty Saratoga Springs chef says, “I’ll give him thin and salty” - is belied by the fact that the chip got to the restaurant ahead of the Commodore. Vanderbilt made the New York Central (founded by others) great, but Commodore was the press’s salute to a shipping mogul. He remarked, “The public? The public be damned!” And he inadvertently caused the potato chip to be invented. His nickname, “Commodore,” referred sardonically to his beginnings sailing a one-man Staten Island ferry. People know four things about Cornelius Vanderbilt: He founded the New York Central Railroad. All standard bulk book orders ship FREE in the continental USA and delivered in 4-10 business days.

Turns out this is not an isolated incident, and Kate needs to get to the bottom of it-fast, or the city and everyone dear to her might pay the ultimate price. So when Atlanta’s premier Master of the Dead calls to ask for help with a vampire on the loose, Kate leaps at the chance of some paying work. Starting her own business has been more challenging than she thought it would be-now that the Order is disparaging her good name, and many potential clients are afraid of getting on the bad side of the Beast Lord, who just happens to be Kate’s mate. Or she would be if she could get someone to hire her. Kate Daniels may have quit the Order of Merciful Aid, but she’s still knee-deep in paranormal problems. Synopsis: Plagued by a war between magic and technology, Atlanta has never been so deadly. Rather than continuing the first volume’s excitement, this second installment reads more like an extended preamble for the next book. All the kids’ plans and wandering leaves them with new enemies and in worse shape than before. The rotating point of view is needlessly confusing and highlights uneven characterization. What worked well in the series opener fizzles in this sequel. However, Amber, with her poor impulse control, manic tendencies, and violent outbursts, is the source of most of their problems. Malik is pure bravado, focused on living life to its fullest, even if that means breaking some laws to do so. Eli and Tori are torn between enjoying their mastermind skills and battling their fears over who they may become. Malik, Eli, Tori, and Amber will need to draw upon all their criminal-mastermind DNA if they are to succeed in exposing their captors and saving the other clones. After discovering that their home of Serenity, New Mexico, is really a giant science experiment to test the effects of nurturing on clones of master criminals ( Masterminds, 2015), four teens escape and head out into the world in search of revenge and freedom.īut the scientists behind Project Osiris have no intention of allowing their test subjects to walk away. The dough should be pliable, but not too soft or limp. Want to set yourself up for shortcut success? Your best bet is to thaw the frozen puff pastry in the fridge, overnight, before you start cooking or baking. In this collection, we've pulled together store-bought puff pastry recipes that put this essential to clever use, from breakfast options (like toaster pastries and waffles!) and snacks (pigs in blankets!), to lunches, hors d'oeuvres, dinners, and, yes, desserts (like peach pie, apple tart, and so much more). Turns out, the light and flaky dough, which you'll find in the freezer aisle, is a key building block for so much more than sweets. Although puff pastry may not rank quite as high as chicken stock and canned beans on your must-have food staples list, if you keep a package of it in your freezer, you’ll never be far away from a delicious dessert-or dinner, for that matter. The UK edition was published by Sceptre, an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton, in 2015 ( ISBN 9781444775839), with the title My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises. When Granny dies, Elsa slowly discovers more about her grandmother's past identities, as well as the lives of people affected by her grandmother. Elsa has a habit of correcting others' grammar, is smart for her age, and is especially close with her grandmother (Granny). The story takes place in Sweden and follows Elsa, a 7-year-old who knows she is different from other children her age. In 2017, the novel was longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award. The rights for translation have been sold in more than 40 countries. The English translation was later published in 2015. The book was first published in Swedish (as Min mormor hälsar och säger förlåt) in 2013. My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry (published in the United Kingdom as My Grandmother Sends her Regards and Apologises) is a novel written by the Swedish columnist, blogger, and writer Fredrik Backman. She is poor and her mom works 3 jobs to support them, but doesn't seem to understand her daughter or care to make an effort to do so. Lucy is a girl with no friends, who is bullied mercilessly at her school. I can't believe this is Nikki Moyes's first book - WOW! This book was very unique and blended elements of your typical high school, science fiction, and psychological dramas seamlessly. I loved, loved, loved this book! The only drawback was that there were a handful of grammatical mistakes (mostly homonyms, although there was a kind of funny "habitual" instead of "habitable"). The book has a powerful message and I would highly recommend it. We are not even sure if what she is experiencing is real, however, one of Will's pearls of wisdom is, "If I can make one person's life better by my being in it, than my life has been real and worthwhile." Although, she feels she is there to save him, he always imparts some specific wisdom to her to guide her in her present life. In each life she encounters someone named Will. But her dreams or recollections of past lives, or possibly just guardian angels showing her different life situations guide her through her present life by showing her both the past and the future. The main character, Lucy, is dealing with numerous life situations, none of which are good-bullying, a far from ideal home situation, and thoughts of suicide. The book has many layers, one of the signs of a good book, for me. I loved how the author interwove dreams, time travel, and possibly reincarnation to give meaning to life.
