A landmark book documenting the first-ever art amusement park - launched in 1987 in Hamburg, Germany - in anticipation of its global reintroduction In the late 1980s, more than 30 of the era's most acclaimed artists - including Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Salvador Dalí, and Keith Haring - designed unique and fully operational fairground attractions specifically for the original park, including rides, interactive sculptures, games, performances, and music. Each artist's contribution is documented in photographs that show the artist at work, with details of the artworks, and showing the art in the context of the exhibition. Giving access to rare artworks that have not been widely viewed in 35 years, and accompanying the relaunch of Luna Luna in 2023, this book is being published for the first time in English with an updated preface.

Society is making great strides in increasing awareness of oppression and injustice, but one group remains mistreated: children. Commonly recommended parenting and discipline methods treat children in ways that would cause uproar if adults were treated similarly. Children's needs and feelings are frequently dismissed and ignored by adults. Children are taught to blindly obey adults in the name of 'respect', although respect is so rarely shown to them. We are a society that is afraid of treating children kindly, as evidenced by the almost constant uproar and ridicule of the 'gentle parenting' movement. In this timely book, bestselling author and parenting expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith blends childcare history, sociology, psychology and current affairs to raise awareness of childism - the unconscious discrimination of children in our world - and why it impacts everybody. Essential for parents, carers, teachers and anybody who works with children, Because I Said So! is both a thought-provoking guide and an urgent call to action. It will help you to understand your own upbringing and how this has shaped your beliefs and behaviour; prompt you to consider the prevalence of childism in society today, so that you can change the way you look after the children in your care or reinforce the approach you are already taking; and consider how we can transform the way our society treats children to create positive, lasting change for generations to come. Childism is an issue that has been ignored and avoided for far too long. If we want to change the world for the better, we must start with treating our children better.

***LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL******A GUARDIAN GRAPHIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2023***Darrin Bell was six years old when his mother told him he couldn't have a realistic water gun.

Occasionally, when something seems very familiar you lose sight of what makes it so special: Flemish Masters. From van Eyck to Bruegel sets out to counteract this effect and opens our eyes once again to the revolution that took place in the Low Countries in the 15th and 16th centuries that shaped the course of European art. In 48 lavishly illustrated analyses, Matthias Depoorter explores how painters such as Van Eyck, Van der Weiden, Massys, Bosch, and Bruegel reached unprecedented heights, and are rightfully considered innovators to this day.The defining factor was their perfecting and mastery of the oil painting technique as well as their groundbreaking attention to optical lighting effects. The new technical possibilities offered a different way of looking at the world and ultimately a new way of painting. No less innovative was the level of detail. These painters were thoroughly acquainted with each other's work-this volume shows the fundamental artistic cross-fertilization. A must-read for anyone who wants to fall in love with the old master- pieces anew.MATTHIAS DEPOORTER (*1980) is a writer and an art historian. He was one of the curators of the seminal exhibition Van Eyck: An Optical Revolution at the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent and coordinated the accompanying scholarly publication.

Anglo Concertina from Beginner to Master includes 72 tunes for the C/G 30-button Anglo concertina and uses a simple tablature system along with standard musical notation and multiple exercises to teach simple tunes in the home keys all the way up to complex classical arrangements. It also teaches tunes in different keys and different modes plus many types of ornamentation and styles of accompaniment. Many of the tunes are from early 19th century concertina tutors and others are from historical 18th and 19th century tune books and manuscripts. In addition to several hymns, two classical Baroque pieces by Telemann and Westhoff are also notated and discussed. The book is divided into chapters with each chapter being based around a different theme or style of concertina playing. Each of these chapters gets gradually more complex as it progresses and each chapter, overall, is more complex than the one that proceeds it. Each tune has been assigned an ability level from one to seven- taking you through from beginner to master. Each selection has a Button Map showing which buttons are needed to play the tune, and has the same easy-to-use tablature system found in other Rollston Press concertina books. And this book comes with video instruction! Every tune also has a smartphone-scannable QR code that links to a video of Cohen showing how the tune is played. Working through all these tunes will not be easy, but thanks to the diligent teaching of master player Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne it will quickly develop and elevate your playing skills.

"Meister Eckhart has been a huge influence on spirituality for more than 800 years. This book of meditations is for people seeking the 'wayless way.' It is not for those looking for a simple path. These fresh, stunning renderings of Eckhart's writings in poetic form bring life to one of the great spiritual voices of any age. They reveal what it means to love God and find meaning in darkness-not darkness in general, but your darkness. Only when you are in the darkness, Meister says, do you have even the possibility of seeing the light"--

What does it mean to create, not in "a room of one's own" but in a domestic space? Do children and genius rule each other out?

A meditation on maternal identity and artistic greatness, The Baby on the Fire Escape illuminates some of the most pressing conflicts in contemporary women's lives.
