Vasari on Technique: Being The Introduction To The Three Arts Of Design, Architecture, Sculpture and Painting, Prefixed to the Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects (Dover Art Instruction)
by Giorgio VasariGiorgio Vasari (1511–1571) is well known for his celebrated work on the lives of the Renaissance artists. But not many people know that Vasari was a painter and architect as well as a biographer, and that he wrote one of the most valuable treatises on the technical methods of the painters, architects, and sculptors of his time. This is the first and only English translation of this important technical material (originally published in 1550 as an introduction to Vasari's Lives of the Artists).Vasari, as a practical craftsman, brings to his work as unusual understanding of the processes and materials he writes about, and conveys this knowledge to the reader in a style of the pleasantest and most readable kind. In the section on architecture, he describes the methods used in constructing rustic fountains and grottos; how Michelangelo developed new uses for architectural materials; the architectural uses of enriched plaster; the Renaissance view of Ionic, Doric, Gothic, and other types of architecture; and many similar topics.In the selection on sculpture, the reader will learn about the making of the model, completion of the statue, reliefs, bronze casting, modelled plaster work, sculpture in wood, and other processes. The final section, on painting, discusses aesthetics, perspective, foreshortening, how colors were blended, fresco painting, painting in tempera, oil painting, and much more.Scholars and historians of art have long used this book as the most detailed and valuable sourcebook of its time. But its full, readable discussions, combined with the sense of actuality and historical presence it contains, make it also perhaps the best possible description of the Renaissance artists in the heyday of their achievement.
Väter und ihre Söhne
by Alexander CherdronDas Buch widmet sich der Vater-Sohn-Beziehung – und zwar mit Blick auf jedermann; ebenso wie es Söhnen und Vätern anregende und aufschlussreiche Lektüre sein soll, können Psychotherapeuten und Berater mit Gewinn mitlesen. Nach einem historischen Abriss der Vater-Sohn-Beziehung wird deren Wandel im Laufe der Lebensphasen für beide Beteiligten und die Veränderung der Vaterrolle, insbesondere in der jüngeren Zeit hin zum soziologischen Terminus des „modernen Vaters“, beleuchtet. Auch aktuelle Ergebnisse der Väter-Forschung finden Beachtung. Aus tiefenpsychologischer Betrachtung werden klassische Konflikte der Vater-Sohn-Beziehung aufgezeigt und mit Fallbeispielen verdeutlicht. Das Spektrum ist breit und gut lesbar: vom „Normalen“, auch gesamt-gesellschaftlich Bedeutsamen (z. B. in der aktuellen Diskussionen um die sog. Generation Y) bis hin zu den oftmals tragischen unglücklichen Folgen, pathologisch ausgetragener Vater-Sohn-Konflikte.

Vaterschaft in Regenbogenfamilien: Eine Fallstudie zur Familiengestaltung und Elternpraxis homosexueller Männer (Familienforschung)
by Christian SagertChristian Sagert geht in diesem Buch der Frage auf den Grund, wie Väter ihre Lebenspraxis in gemeinsam realisierten Regenbogenfamilien gestalten, in denen eine normativ idealisierte Mutterrolle vermeintlich nicht existiert. Die qualitative Studie legt den Fokus erstmals auf Männerpaare, die den Wunsch nach Familiengründung fern von heterosexuellen Gründungszusammenhängen realisiert haben und macht dabei deutlich, welche Wirkungsmacht heteronormative Gesellschaftsstrukturen gerade für diese Familien entfalten. Daneben wird ein ausführlicher Überblick über die Lebenssituationen dieser Familien in Deutschland geboten: So werden u.a. die verschiedenen Entstehungszusammenhänge, die rechtliche Rahmung sowie Heteronormativität und Stigmata herausgestellt.

Vegan Virgin Valentine
by Carolyn MacklerFrom the author of the award-winning The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things comes the racy story of an overachiever who learns to get over it- and get a life. Mara Valentine is in control. She's a straight-A senior, a vegan, and her parents' pride and joy. She's neck-and-neck with her womanizing ex-boyfriend for number-one class ranking and plans to kick his salutatorian butt on her way out the door to Yale. Mara has her remaining months in Brockport all planned out, but the plan does not include having V, her slutty, pot-smoking, sixteen-year-old niece -- yes, niece -- come to live with her family. Nor does it involve lusting after her boss or dreaming about grilled cheese sandwiches every night. What does a control freak like Mara do when things start spinning wildly out of control? With insight, authenticity, and a healthy dose of humor, Carolyn Mackler creates an evolving Type A heroine that every reader will recognize -- and root for.

Vencedores: Ocho maneras de vivir con una fuerza imparable, una fe inamovible y un poder increíble
by David JeremiahVivimos en un tiempo de profunda incertidumbre. Aun así, la Biblia promete que podemos vivir la vida de libertad que fue diseñada para nosotros, incluso en tiempos en los que el mundo que nos rodea parece lleno de oscuridad. Fuimos creados para ser vencedores, y para superar los mayores obstáculos de nuestras vidas.En su nuevo libro, el estimado profesor David Jeremiah dirige su entendimiento a uno de los pasajes más citados, pero menos comprendido de la Biblia: la recomendación del apóstol Pablo a los efesios de que tomen toda la armadura de Dios (Efesios 6:10-18). Con la profundidad de lo caracteriza, de su sabiduría y de su compasión, el Dr. Jeremiah analiza la poderosa importancia de la armadura espiritual como herramienta crítica en nuestra vida cotidiana, al confrontar los retos específicos de nuestras vidas y de nuestra época.Si ya estás harto de vivir en derrota, es hora de encontrar una fuerza renovada y reclamar las promesas de la palabra de Dios de vencer las mayores amenazas de la vida.
