Pairing 100 famous authors, poets, and playwrights from the Victorian age to today with recipes for their iconic drinks of choice, How to Drink Like a Writer is the perfect guide to getting lit(erary) for madcap mixologists, book club bartenders, and cocktail enthusiasts. Do you long to trade notes on postmodernism over whiskey and jazz with Haruki Murakami? Have you dreamed of sharing martinis with Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton after poetry class? Maybe a mojito—a real one, like they serve at La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana—is all you need to summon the mesmerizing power of Hemingway''s prose. Writer’s block? Summon the brilliant musings of Truman Capote with a screwdriver—or, “my orange drink,” as he called it—or a magical world like J.K. Rowling’s with a perfect gin and tonic. With 100 spirited drink recipes and special sections dedicated to writerly haunts like the Algonquin of the New Yorker set and Kerouac’s Vesuvio Cafe, pointers for hosting your own literary salon, and author-approved hangover cures, all accompanied by original illustrations of ingredients, finished cocktails, classic drinks, and favorite food pairings, How to Drink Like a Writer is sure to inspire, invoke, and inebriate—whether you are courting the muse, or nursing a hangover.

Carnival - Elizabeth Melampy - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

A raucous journey through eight animal festivals compels an environmental lawyer to ask what the stories we tell about animals reveal about our own humanity. As the gates open at the racetrack in Virginia City, Nevada, three camels stumble out, ridden by amateur jockeys. A crowd of roaring spectators looks on gleefully, but as the camels approach the first turn, one loses its footing and crashes to the ground. While the camel’s handlers rush to the animal, the race’s emcee calls out in defense of the jockey, “Check on Charlie! Forget the camel!”The International Camel and Ostrich Races is just one of hundreds of animal festivals that take place around the world every year, each putting animals on display for humans to gawk at, demonize, or adore. But why? What value do these festivals and their rituals hold, and why when the animals are in distress do we insist that the show still must go on?In Forget the Camel, Elizabeth MeLampy meets the groundhogs, butterflies, rattlesnakes, lobsters, sled dogs, and other creatures we use to build community, instill fear, and transmit meaning. She shows how killing rattlesnakes in Texas represents a triumph over the Wild West; how lobster boils on Maine’s Atlantic coast show solidarity with the working class; and how the celebration each February of a single groundhog reminds us of our reliance on nature. In the process, she uncovers the symbolism we attach to animals and the stories we tell to rise above them. Certain to be appreciated by fans of Yuval Noah Harari, Mary Roach, and Sy Montgomery, Forget the Camel is an immersive entry into the sights, smells, tastes, and noise of animal festivals across the country and a beautifully written step toward a compassionate future.

Finding Rhythm - Alienor Salmon - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

One woman embarked on a dance journey around the world, finding out how each dance tells a story of its country and learning how beautiful life can be when you take the lead. If you could do anything you wanted, what would it be? Aliénor Salmon was working as a happiness researcher in Bangkok when a friend asked her the question that turned life as she knew it on its heels. A novice dancer but experienced social researcher, the Franco-British Aliénor headed west from Bangkok to dance her way through Latin America. As she learns eighteen dances, each native to the countries she visits, she engages with esoteric customs, traditions, and cultures. Through conversations and arduous studio hours, she learns that every step, pivot, and shake thrums with an undeniable spirit of place. And that in a world where we are over-connected but increasingly disconnected from one another, dance offers an authentically human experience. One that allows her to develop tolerance, kindness, truth, and love by holding the hands of a stranger and gazing into their eyes for the time of a song. With her fearless and candid approach, Aliénor will inspire you to take the reins of your own life—and have some fun along the way. In this dance-travelogue, you’ll learn the history and steps of dances like salsa, samba, and tango, enjoy a resplendent meditation on happiness and wanderlust, and receive a life-affirming answer to the question: How do I take the first step?

Words to Win By - - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

From “All the Way with LBJ” to red MAGA hats, famous and infamous slogans, logos, signage, and accessories are compiled in a striking visual encyclopedia covering presidential elections from 1900 to 2024. Presidential campaigns emerge in state fairs, stump speeches, and selfie lines; but when the crowds disperse and after ballots are cast, movements live on in posters, logos, slogans, and accessories. From Hillary Clinton''s “I’m With Her” pins to Warren Harding’s “Return to Normalcy” banners, from buttons emblazoned with Dwight Eisenhower''s trademark “I Like Ike” to Shepard Fairey''s iconic “HOPE” poster for Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” slogan, campaign materials and supporter-made paraphernalia serve as portals into the complex nature of American politics, values, and emotions. This collection of visual messaging, brimming with over five hundred punchy color images from United States presidential campaigns from the turn of the twentieth century to today, contains the bold graphics, quippy one-liners, and cutting-edge designs that shaped the way America viewed its would-be leaders and revealed the way its would-be leaders viewed America in return. Presidential candidates might range from policy wonks to moral champions to experienced leaders, but they all rely on expert branding to convey their unique platforms to the public. In the fast-moving age of social media, this tangible display of effective—and regrettable—American artifacts is destined to delight political junkies and design aficionados of all stripes.

Trans New York - Peter Bussian - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Trans New York - Peter Bussian - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

A visually stunning, award-winning photography book of transgender New Yorkers, complete with thought-provoking and revealing interviews that honor the transgender community and the courage it takes to find oneself and defy societal norms. A growing portion of the LGBTQ+ community identifies as transgender; they are family members, friends, neighbors, and colleagues, and yet they are all-too-often stigmatized and misunderstood. This visual tour de force presents exquisite portraits of more than fifty New Yorkers who identify as trans, genderqueer, or gender nonbinary, and interviews with them in which they reveal who they are and what their transitions were like and combat common misconceptions and stereotypes. The vibrant, honest photographs were taken on the streets of New York or in iconic places like Grand Central Station, and together the photos and interviews provoke questions on gender identity, the gender spectrum, and gender expectations. In total, this is an unparalleled articulation of the expressions of sexuality, gender, and self that New York, in all of its beauty, honesty, and compassion, welcomes, as well as a celebration of the power of finding oneself and a compelling call for respect and acceptance. In addition to enlightening text from more than fifty members of New York’s trans community and the author, award-winning documentary photographer Peter Bussian, there are inspiring longer essays and an extraordinary foreword by the celebrated trans activist Abby Chava Stein. Trans New York is the winner of a prestigious International Photography Award (IPA) for its superb images.

The Alterations Lady - Cindy Miller - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

The Alterations Lady - Cindy Miller - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Two women. One exhilarating story of displacement and perseverance in the face of extremism. What happens when we take the time to listen? When the journalist Cindy Miller met Lailoma Shahwali, who was altering her daughter’s wedding dress, she assumed their interactions would be brief. But in Lailoma she found not just a seamstress, but a survivor who would open up about her remarkable experiences in her native Afghanistan. In recollections shared over warm tea with cardamom, frozen walnuts, and mulberries, Lailoma offers both an entry into a colorful pre-Taliban Afghanistan, where, despite being a girl, she pursued an education and worked toward becoming a doctor, as well as a stark portrait of what came next, when the Taliban seized her beloved country, stripped her of her hard-won rights, terrorized her family, and brutally murdered her husband. A breathtaking account of triumph against all odds, Lailoma’s fight to protect her young son and support her family takes them on a dangerous mountain escape into Pakistan and then to the United States in search of sanctuary and opportunity. Here, her navigation of a complicated immigration system and her pursuit of the elusive American dream is both highly personal and a timeless account of the experiences of refugees everywhere. Beautifully detailed and strikingly told, The Alterations Lady is a poignant reminder of the possibilities offered by a nation of immigrants and a call to hear the stories of our neighbors, the unsung heroes we interact with every day.

Days of Lead - Moshe Rashkes - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Hailed by Israel’s founder David Ben-Gurion, Days of Lead is a gripping best seller recounting the author’s life on the front line during Israel’s War of Independence. Exquisitely written with a poetically beautiful touch, Days of Lead is the page-turning true story of a young soldier’s brave escapades during Israel’s War of Independence in 1948. This incredible account is a story of determination and heroism, but also a stinging portrait of life on the battlefield—of looking an enemy soldier, also wide-eyed and only eighteen, in the eyes and knowing that it’s his life or yours, either you take a life or you lose yours. Far from a regular coming-of-age story, this is a firsthand account of a young man trying desperately to save the lives of his fellow soldiers, but watching them taken down one-by-one until he’s the last man alive on his platoon. It’s heartrending, but enthralling. This new edition of Days of Lead , published in English, provides an up-close view of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv long before they became the bustling cities they are today. It also presents fascinating context on the making of the book and its enduring relevancy, as Israeli soldiers continue to fight for Israel’s right to exist. In a personal letter to the author, Israel’s founder and first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, one of many well-known celebrators of the book, writes, “I started reviewing your book without the intention of reading to its end, but from the first pages I was captivated and I read it to the end through excitement and astonishment. From where all of a sudden pops up such mighty expression, truth telling, and wonderful description? It seems to me that until now I have not read such a precise and true story of combat from the War of Independence. . . . You have contributed a valuable asset . . . to our literature at large.”

What Is New York? - Rick Mcguire - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

A cheeky illustrated cultural atlas celebrates the strength and spirit of New York and shows how there''s no need to make a comeback when you''re already the greatest city on Earth. Think New Yorkers are speeding out to Connecticut in droves? Think a tough 2020 broke the city? Think again. New York is more than a city—it is a concrete and red-brick canvas for denizens of artists, an endless fountain of inspiration and community for entrepreneurs and activists, and a boisterous melting pot that celebrates diversity of all kinds. And being a New Yorker is not just a geographic indicator, it''s an indicator of character, a way of life . From the storied punk dives of the Lower East Side to the street-cart studded blocks of the Heights, New York City offers grit, resilience, culture, and inclusivity in spades—and its citizens know this. This spectacular book looks beyond the tourist traps of New York to celebrate the essence of the city’s five boroughs. Through interviews, essays, and original art, readers will encounter the real New York—a city that is on a first name basis with bodega owners, spends afternoons on the stoop, and has equally impassioned opinions on halal carts, subway lines, and the perfect breakfast sandwich. Featured inside is everything from Q&As with legendary bodega owners to the best quotes of Governor Andrew Cuomo, designer of New York Tough and a national treasure during the fight to contain Covid-19, to photographs, quizzes, games, recipes, and much more, as well as a tribute to the beloved spaces lost during tough times. This is a perfect read for anyone who dreams of bumping into Spike Lee on the streets of Fort Greene or misses late nights at the Comedy Cellar, a colorful keepsake tribute to the city that never sleeps and to those who know that—despite tragedy, turmoil, and great change—New York will always come out ahead.

The Dali Legacy - Jean Pierre Isbouts - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

The Dali Legacy - Jean Pierre Isbouts - Bog - Apollo Publishers - Plusbog.dk

This immersive dive into the life and work of Salvador Dali unlocks the secret of this creative genius and reveals for the first time how his erotically charged paintings changed the world of modern art. In turns beloved and reviled, twentieth-century painter, filmmaker, and designer Salvador Dali set Europe and the United States ablaze with his uncompromising genius, sexual sadism, and flirtations with megalomania. His shocking behavior and work frequently alienated critics; his views were so outrageous, even prominent Surrealists tried to ostracize him. Still, every morning he experienced “an exquisite joy—the joy of being Salvador Dalí,” and because of his remarkable talent, Dali rose to unprecedented levels of fame—forever shifting the landscape of the art world and the nature of celebrity itself. In this stunning volume, rich with more than 150 full-color images, noted art historians Jean-Pierre Isbouts and Christopher Heath Brown discuss the historical, social, and political conditions that shaped Dali''s work, identify the impact of modern as well as old master art, and present an unflinching view of the master''s personal relationships and motivations. With their deeply compelling narrative, Isbouts and Brown uncover how Dalí''s visual wit and enduring cult of personality still impacts fashion, literature, and art, from Andy Warhol to Lady Gaga, and answer why, in an age of shock and awe, Dali''s art still manages to distress, perplex, and entertain. An unparalleled guide to Dali and a critical resource for anyone keen to understand the development of modern art, The Dali Legacy is complemented by a contextualizing foreword from Frank Hunter, director of the Salvador Dali Archives.
