Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Provenance Reveals Untold Story of Old China Doll, Grace DarlingSophia's Gift is based upon the true story of a Confederate soldier's friendship with child Sophia Strauss in Culpeper, Virginia, in 1862, amid the American Civil War. Sophia and her mother, Caroline Strauss, bind up the soldier's wounds and nurse him back to health. When he is well enough to travel, the soldier gives Sophia a china doll she names Grace Darling, after the real British Victorian icon, Grace Horsley Darling. The doll becomes Sophia's beloved plaything. She still lives on at American Civil War Museum in Richmond, Virginia. Few books provide a glimpse into the daily life of women and children during the American Civil War. Fewer still tell about Jewish Confederates. Sophia's Gift speaks to the universal truths of courage, compassion, and perseverance. Such a message is eternal, and will survive any war. Filled with vivid watercolor spreads, Sophia's Gift is for children, Junior Collectors aged 8 to 17, and adult enthusiasts of doll collecting, history, military, and antiques. Color photos in Historical Note recall Victorian times. Ages 8 and up. Chavez, Loran (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Danish-language edition of a conceptual framework and practical guide to a new, planet-centered approach to design. DesignWISE challenges the linear logic that has long shaped design practice. Too often, we move from brief to solution without pausing to understand the wider consequences of our choices or the systemic relations they affect. In doing so, we overlook opportunities for deeper, regenerative change.This book introduces DesignWISE as a 360-degree alternative--a circular decision-making tool grounded in design thinking, systemic leadership, and Indigenous wisdom traditions. Rather than progressing step by step, DesignWISE invites designers, leaders, and teams into a continuous cycle of reflection, evaluation, and renewal.At the center of the method is a wheel: a structure inspired by the medicine wheel, encouraging holistic awareness, multiple perspectives, and a stronger connection between inner intention and outer impact. Each phase of the wheel opens a space for introspection, imagination, and responsibility, helping us understand how design decisions resonate across people, organizations, and the planet. DesignWISE ultimately argues that meaningful transformation begins with a shift in awareness--how we see, sense, and relate to the world. By cultivating presence, curiosity, and critical reflection, we can unlock new sources of insight and move beyond conventional approaches to design.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume showcases some of the best research published in the Studies in Comics journal. Comics have always embraced a diversity of formats, existing in complex relationships with other media, and have been dynamic in their response to new technologies and means of distribution. This collection explores interactions between comics and other media and technologies, employing a wide range of theoretical and critical perspectives. By focusing on key critical concepts within multimodality (transmediality, adaptation, intertextuality) and addressing multiple platforms and media (digital, analog, music, prose, linguistics, graphics), this collection expands and develops existing comics theory and addresses multiple other media and disciplines. This volume demonstrates the evolution of comics studies over the last decade and shows how this research field has engaged with various media and technologies in a continuously evolving, multimodal artistic and production environment.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A groundbreaking international collection that redefines drawing as a powerful tool for thinking, feeling, and connecting across disciplines, cultures, and experiences. Bringing together essays by researchers, scholars, and artists from nine countries, including teachers, architects, psychotherapists, museum educators, and curators, this book draws on each contributor's unique position and practice to showcase diverse perspectives on the collaborative and interpretive power of drawing. The collection unfolds as a journey through the many forms and functions of drawing, exploring practices as varied as mapping a daily route, marking territory, expressing personal experience, diagramming problems through arrows and lines, creating comics, or imagining abstract boundaries of power. These diverse approaches invite readers to reconsider what drawing is and what it can do. Whether capturing lived experience, conveying emotion, constructing knowledge, or challenging systems of authority, the contributions reveal drawing's unique capacity to generate meaning beyond words. Through engaging and compelling case studies, the book encourages both scholars and practitioners to see drawing as a tool for empathy, critical inquiry, and alternative ways of knowing--especially when navigating what lies beyond the limits of our own perspectives.…
