2018 is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Glasgow's famous son, architect and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. A year-long celebration of Mackintosh's contribution to the arts, and to the making of the world-famous Glasgow Style is taking place throughout the city, including a major exhibition, and tour. This book focuses on highlights from Glasgow Museums' collections, and considers what was happening in the city that encouraged the creativity of Mackintosh and contemporaries such as Margaret and Frances Macdonald, Jessie M King, Talwin Morris, James Salmon amongst others to flourish. It looks at architecture in the city, 'The Four', the influence of Japan, the early architecture, the city's technical studios and artisans, crafts, furniture design, the spread of the Glasgow Style, the world-famous tearoom interiors, and Mackintosh's later years in London and France. Beautifully illustrated throughout, including some works never before on public display.

In the icy-cold heart of winter, a little snow bear wanders through the snow. As the wind whips past him, ruffling his fur, he searches for a home. But where can he go? Each warm place has been claimed, and there is no room for a bear, no matter how little. Suddenly he sees a flickering of light, orange and bright against the snowy ground. A house! As Snow Bear pushes open the creaking door, he feels warmth spread over him. There's a girl by the window, and, somehow, deep down, Snow Bear knows that he is home. A heartwarming, wintry read, perfect for fans of Guess How Much I Love You?

A celebration of the achievements and transformative power of Charles Rennie Macintosh's work that has inspired generations of artists and designers.

Brown demonstrates how Florentine thinkers used Lucretius--earlier and more widely than has been supposed--to provide a radical critique of prevailing orthodoxies. She enhances our understanding of the revolution in sixteenth- century political thinking and our definition of the Renaissance within newly discovered worlds and new social networks.

Few children can ignore an inquisitive donkey looking over a gate or the wriggling puppy they meet in the street. Animal stories also capture their attention, and are usually those with which younger children identify most readily. The description of the animals in Noah's Ark is surely the one least likely to be forgotten! Bible Animals (for ages 5+) goes one step further; it uses a collection of animal stories drawn from Scripture, to present important, basic Bible truths. What is sin? Why did Jesus die? Why do bad things sometimes happen? Why is obedience important? These are issues about which positive God honouring attitudes can be formed in the ealy years. Sharing the pages of this original book with your child provides an opportunity to begin laying these vital foundations. An animal picture to colour is provided with each lesson.

For Many children today the Bible is a book for Sunday only. Some regard it as little more than a collection of stories which they fondly associate with Sunday School or their bedtime reading; easily discarded when they reach their teens, amid peer pressure to conform to the humanist and secularist views of today's 'real world'. We need to connect what children do in the classroom on the other days of the week to the Bible; turning often to its less familiar pages, until they see that in every area of our existence Scripture always has been, and still is, the supreme authority. Children learn through experience. We cannot expect them to trust God for eternity until they recognize the reliability of God's account of what has happened in time. 'If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?' (John 3:12).
