Milk by Hannah Velten7/8/2023 Milk will surprise and entertain in equal measure. This highly illustrated exploration of one of the most fundamental foods and drinks also includes recipes for ice-cream, milkshakes, and even milk paint. Now that milk is considered a staple of a healthy and balanced diet, Velten investigates how and why conceptions of milk have shifted in the public consciousness, from the science of nutrition to the dairy industry's advertising campaigns. Yet milk in the time before these scientific processes was even less natural than today-known then as the white poison, it was bacteria-ridden, mixed with additives to make it look like milk after the cream was removed, filled with chemicals to promote its shelf life, and extremely watered down. Nonetheless, there are many advocates of raw milk that long for the days before pasteurization, homogenization, and standardization. Modern milk processing produces a safe, clean beverage that is very different from pure milk straight from the cow.

And yet, despite that natural relationship to milk, the majority of the world's population cannot digest it in the form most often available to adults-cow's milk. From birth milk is the sustaining and essential food of all mammals. Milk-"It does a body good." It's difficult to deny the truth of the American Dairy Council's former advertising campaign.

This volume gathers an essay situating the genre across different regions, crisp painting reproductions, and detailed interpretations of 31 crucial pieces to offer a comprehensive introduction to Romanticism.īorn back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published. The title of this book is Romanticism (Taschen Basic Genre Series) and it was written by Norbert Wolf, Ingo F Walther (Editor). Romantic styles and subjects varied widely throughout Europe and America, ranging from tranquil contemplative scenes to spectacularly staged events, and it is precisely this diversity that lends Romantic art its fascination and lasting influence. In a revolt against rationalism, Romanticism sought to return to nature and the belief in the goodness of humanity, with the artist considered to be a. Yet Romantic artists, searching perhaps for unattainable ideals, also looked back to the late medieval and Renaissance periods for nostalgic themes of Judeo-Christian heritage drawing from these, they believed that a politically and intellectually enlightened utopia could be achieved. Beginning in the early 19th century, Romantic ideals developed largely in opposition to the traditions of Greco-Roman antiquity, and advocated an open-ended and progressive-that is, modern-view of the age. In a revolt against rationalism, Romanticism sought to return to nature and the belief in the goodness of humanity, with the artist considered to be a profoundly individual creator.

I actually liked this one more than I thought I was going to. Paul Hecht’s lyrical narration makes the music and meaning of Mann’s writing more accessible than ever to modern ears. This translation, with its recreation of the intricate rhythms of the author’s language, virtually sings in an audio format. These works subtly explore the great themes of Mann’s fiction-his mythic fascination with sexual inhibition and artistic creativity. You will find fresh relevance in the story of an aging writer’s uncontrollable and humiliating passion, and the other poignant tales included here. This collection features the world masterpiece Death in Venice, with its controversial passages now restored. The author’s superb literary craftsmanship, his psychological insight, and the deeply erotic content of his work shine forth in this definitive English-language version of some of his most celebrated short works. By using creative, contemporary language, Neugroschel reinterprets Mann for modern English-speaking readers. Joachim Neugroschel’s brilliant new translation lets you enjoy the work of Nobel-Laureate Thomas Mann as never before.
