No Starch Press,US Wonderful Life With The Elements
Book SynopsisFrom the brilliant mind of Japanese artist Bunpei Yorifuji comes Wonderful Life with the Elements, an illustrated guide to the periodic table that gives chemistry a friendly face. In this super periodic table, every element is a unique character whose properties are represented visually: heavy elements are fat, man-made elements are robots, and noble gases sport impressive afros. Every detail is significant, from the length of an element's beard to the clothes on its back. You'll also learn about each element's discovery, its common uses, and other vital stats like whether it floats or explodes in water. Why bother trudging through a traditional periodic table? In this periodic paradise, the elements are people too. And once you've met them, you'll never forget them.Trade Review"Even the most serious chemist will enjoy seeing such illustrations as nitrogen personified floating above a stick of TNT, sporting a beard and mohawk. Playful and endearing in a way that conveys a real appreciation for the elements."—Sam Lemonick, Chemical & Engineering News, American Chemical Society"This book takes the boring old periodic table and enhances it, giving the elements a life and spirit of their own all while teaching readers about those elements."—Wally Bahny, TechRepublic"The art is both sweet and clear, with brown and yellow cartoons on uncluttered pages that pack a wallop of information."—School Library Journal"Yorifuji's personification worked for me. I never took chemistry in high school and so have an incomplete understanding it. Wonderful Life with the Elements gave the Periodic Table contours I was able to grasp."—Roger Kay, Forbes.com's Endpoint Analysis Blog"The original presentation of this material and the amusing personal touches are fantastic and turn this book into a fun, easy read."—Adrian Woodhead, Slashdot"The best word to describe this gem from another culture is idiosyncratic, others include informative and entertaining. A new window into the teaching of the elements. Upper school pupils will love it."—The School Librarian"If chemistry seems cold and unfriendly, Wonderful Life with the Elements: The Periodic Table Personified by Bunpei Yorifuji will help you get to know it better… and make you laugh out loud."—Karen McGhee, COSMOS magazine"A new, fascinating way to learn about the elements."—Emma Shiells, Chemistry World"Takes the Periodic Table and transforms it into a learning experience."—Greg Laden, National Geographic's "ScienceBlogs""The astonishing attention to scientific details demonstrate a sophisticated grasp of the concepts and some serious artistic chops, but the real joy lies in Yorifuji's infectious, playful enthusiasm--bound to draw in even the most entrenched science-phobes."—Katherine Montgomery, Shelf Awareness"A great book for chemistry students and anyone who loves to see chemistry and comics in tandem."—Lauren Davis, io9"The charming micro-vignettes nudge the young reader towards that ever-marvelous space where science and whimsy intersect."—Maria Popova, Brain Pickings"This book would make a great gift for any aspiring young scientist or even an adult who loves to learn."—Ruth Suehle, Wired.com's GeekMom"It's one of the most entertaining and interesting books I've ever read—on any subject!"—James Floyd Kelly, Wired.com's GeekDadTable of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1: Elements in the Living RoomChapter 2: The Super Periodic Table of the ElementsChapter 3: Element Cartoon CharactersChapter 4: How to Eat the ElementsChapter 5: The Elements CrisisAfterword

Museum of Modern Art What Degas Saw

Walking through the streets of Paris with cape and cane, the French artist Edgar Degas observes the world around him, finding inspiration at every turn.

Accompanies major MoMA exhibition, Edgar Degas: A Strange New Beauty, on view March 26 through July 24, 2016.

Book SynopsisA museum is not only a place where you can look at art. It is also a unique environment where art can breathe and develop and where we can encounter it face to face. An interplay of many different specialists, aesthetic flair and organizational talent are necessary to make this possible. This charming book makes it child’s play taking a look behind the scenes of how a museum operates. Informative and profusely illustrated with endearing pictures, it deals with all the different fields that have to work together in order to realize a successful exhibition. We follow the various creative steps involved in making a work of art a reality. We accompany the works on their journeys around the world and into the museum. And we learn about the genesis of an exhibition from the initial conception to the day-to-day operations for the public.
