Movie posters -- those colourful and glorious harbingers of pleasures "Coming Soon" to the local Strand, Roxy and Bijou -- have become a people''s art form to be enjoyed on their own merits, and to be admired and valued for their aesthetic and historical significance. These colourfully-inviting posters exploited the themes as much as the art and popular culture of the times.
Arguably Russia''s most famous art form, Russian enamels have survived Mongolian invasions, imperialist czars, and the violence of the Communist Revolution to thrive in present day Russia.

The Russian enamel illustrations in this book are primarily in the style of the 19th to early 20th century designs from the Moscow region.

For ages 8-10. Birds play a vital part in the complex web of life on Earth -- scavenging, hunting, seed-sowing, fertilising the earth and delighting mankind with their beauty, while challenging us with their incredible ability to navigate the skies. In alphabetical order, Julia Pinkham describes and illustrates with fine line drawings many of the birds that inhabit the earth. Beginning with Amazon parrots and antpittas, she proceeds through gannets and grebes, manakins and merganser ducks, umbrella birds, yellow warblers and zenaida doves. The text gives concise descriptions with geographical locations, habits and customary colouration. The drawings -- as always is true of Julie Pinkham''s work -- are handsome as black and white designs, but no child will be able to resist colouring them.
