THE STARS WE STEAL, by Alexa Donne , HMH Books for Young Readers, Feb. ![]() ![]() ![]() The filmmaker continues the “male artist as genius” narrative and almost celebrates his torment and “bad boy” behavior. These scenes almost work to distract the viewer from realizing that there are not really any revelations about the works or the artist. ![]() However, the scenes of a contemporary portrayal of the artist by an actor (who makes his debut in this film) feel gratuitous and unnecessary. ![]() The level of detail in what can be seen and the digital reconstructions of the locations where many of the works were originally installed are impressive. Jesus Garces Lambert’s Caravaggio: The Soul and the Blood film is a voiceover-narrated reconstruction of Caravaggio’s life as a mix of commentary from art historians and experts, scenes of symbolic and dramatic reenactments of the artist, historical documentation, and ultrahigh 8K resolution depictions of many of his masterpieces.Ĭaravaggio’s works look stunning in this film. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But in reality the events in history are decidedly interconnected. Foster realized this, and she has written a collection of world history books that illuminates the story of history far better than most history books I've read.įoster's Word books have been used and loved by educators for decades. Other history textbooks tend to present history in isolation, detailing the happenings of a particular region or civilization by itself, ignoring the influence of events occurring in other parts of the world at the same time. Her horizontal approach to history - exploring the events around the world in a specific range of time instead of following only one civilization - makes the story of history all the more real and memorable for readers. Written for both children and adults in the mid-1900's, Genevieve Foster's set of World books are perhaps my favorite history books on our shelf.

Later on, Sokcho, linked with Seoul by air and road, the city became a mineral transfer port in 1937. Since Cheongchoho lake is adjacent to the East Sea, big ships were able to come in and out with ease. In 1905, it became one of the major ports because of its geological feature. Sokcho started from just a fishing village with a few people around Cheongchoho.

For the first eight months he focused exclusively on the Old Testament, looking through the Bible to find even the most obscure laws. To that end he decided to study the Bible and seek to understand its every rule. He set out on this quest to determine how religion could impact a life. After the birth of his son, though, Jacobs began to wonder if teaching his son about religion would scar him or make him a better person. ![]() Jacobs is Jewish by birth but grew up in a family that did not practice the faith, or not seriously at any rate. Like its predecessor, this book has sold very well, quickly making its way onto the lists of bestsellers. In his second book, The Year of Living Biblically, he dedicates a year to attempting to follow every rule and law in the Bible. He documented his year-long journey through the Encyclopedia in a bestselling book titled The Know-It-All.
