Martin Provensen Boeken

This monograph celebrates the midcentury illustration team of Alice and Martin Provensen, who created over 40 beloved children's books across seven decades, many recognized on the New York Times Best Illustrated Books lists. Their works, including early favorites for Golden Books like The Color Kittens (1949) and the Caldecott-winning The Glorious Flight: Across the Channel with Louis Bleriot (1983), have inspired generations of young readers. The volume features beautifully reproduced original paintings from classics such as A Child's Garden of Verses (1951), The Iliad and the Odyssey (1959), and Myths and Legends (1960), alongside hundreds of well-known illustrations and previously unseen paintings, drawings, and exquisite sketchbooks from their travels. An interview with their daughter, Karen Provensen Mitchell, offers insights into their life and career, complemented by personal photographs, quotes, and memorabilia. An introduction by children's literature historian Leonard S. Marcus highlights the Provensens' significant impact, while a personal essay by family friend Robert Gottlieb shares cherished memories. Their vibrant artwork remains a treasure trove, influencing children, designers, illustrators, historians, and all who love classic children's literature.

The Caldecott Award-winning Provensens have combined artistry and insight to create a unique and beautiful pop-up. Full color.

Trade unions are in crisis. Decades of decline and retrenchment are being compounded by a global elite who are increasingly extracting profit through exploitative financial engineering, in ways that side-step labour and undermine the power of organised workers. Do these trends spell the end for unions, or signal the need for a rapid renewal? Alice Martin and Annie Quick argue that the role of unions is more essential than ever in the 21st century - but only if they change. Automation and a rapid green industrial revolution present a once in a generation opportunity for unions to take a leading role in building a new, more equitable economy. However, renewal will require radical thinking. Unions must reset their ambitions beyond the traditional aims of wage bargaining to include resisting profit extraction through interest on personal debts and soaring property rents. From worker ownership to organising strikes outside of the workplace, they must stake out a different path - or accept a diminishing role. No-one committed to building a new economy can afford to miss this urgent, highly original book and its radical vision for a new trade unionism.

Now back in print, a beautifully illustrated collection of twelve reimagined fairy tales, including classics like "Beauty and the Beast" and literary tales like Oscar Wilde's "The Happy Prince." Alice and Martin Provensen were one of the most talented husband-and-wife author-illustrator teams of the twentieth century. A long-out-of-print cult classic first published 50 years ago, The Provensen Book of Fairy Tales is a treasury of their illustrations accompanied by fairy tales from authors such as A. A. Milne, Hans Christian Andersen, and Oscar Wilde. Here too are clever retellings and newly imagined tales: refined old favorites like Arthur Rackham’s “Beauty and the Beast,” feminist revisions like Elinor Mordaunt’s “The Prince and the Goose Girl,” and sensitive stories by literary stylists like Henry Beston’s “The Lost Half-Hour” and Katharine Pyle’s “The Dreamer.” Full of magic, ingenuity, and humor, The Provensen Book of Fairy Tales is a witty modern descendant of Grimm’s Fairy Tales and a classic in its own right, sure to be beloved by a new generation.

Die Krankheit – von der nicht nur Teenager, sondern auch zahlreiche Erwachsene betroffen sind – kann zu schwersten Entzündungen führen, die bis tief ins Gewebe gehen, die Hautstruktur verändern und unschöne Narben verursachen. Darunter leidet nicht nur die Haut, sondern häufig auch die Psyche und das Selbstbewusstsein. Die Ursachen für eine Akne können vielfältig sein und liegen nicht auf, sondern unter der Haut: Mentaler Stress, eine mangelhafte Ernährung und ein unausgeglichener Hormonhaushalt sind nur einige von ihnen.
