From the rear cover: "To honor the fortieth anniversary of her seminal album HORSES, a revised and updated version of the iconic artist's collected lyrics. This extraordinary collection from 'rock and roll's poet laureate' is a testimony to the fierce passion and uncompromising originality of Patti Smith's music and writing. Building on the collection originally published in 1998, this new edition features more than thirty-five new songs, new artwork, and an introduction from Patti Smith herself. As relevant, fresh, and searing as when they were originally written, Smith's lyrics capture her unique voice, raw in beauty, grace, and authenticity. Sharing a message of dedication, love, and compassion that speaks across the ages, Smith's words empower fans and reveal the strong yet vulnerable heart of woman defined by her art."

Born and brought up in Delhi, Shipra Gupta is a writer and an amateur photographer. She pursued Master's in Mathematics from Hindu College, Delhi University. As fate would have it, numbers converted into words and she started working as a freelance content writer in 2010. This is her first book and she continues to work for websites as a content developer, also pursuing her passion for street photography. Basically her flair for English language and her interest in the subject, both culminated into this marvellous piece of work. The Merchant of Venice is a story of two friends-Antonio and Bassanio, as well as Shylock, a shrewd, Jewish moneylender; herein has been skillfully abridged by the author and artistically presented in the form of a Graphic Novel..

Usually mails within 12 hours. ; 8.5 x 11 inches; 80 pages; Synopsis: This is a collection of projects presenting ideas for both indoor and outdoor mosaics. Aimed at both experienced mosaic artists and beginners, it features mosaics created using a variety of glass and ceramic tiles, beads, shells, and other found objects. There are 18 step-by-step projects of various sizes, including picture and mirror framing, paving slabs, wall plaques and decorated plant pots. From the AuthorThe best selling book of step by step mosaic projectsSurprisingly, the word 'mosaic' has no literal translation. Some scholars have suggested that it means 'crazy', which even if not absolutely accurate, seems to be entirely appropriate at times. Mosaic is certainly enjoying something of a renaissance at the moment. I have been running three-day mosaic courses for five years now and their popularity has grown as the public have slowly realised that they, too, can make beautiful mosaics for themselves. It never fails to amaze me that what appears at first glance to be such an inflexible material, can produce results that are so stylistically different and individual. The Italian master mosaicists had to train for many years before being allowed to tackle big public works. Understandably, they were (and still are) very secretive about their techniques. What they would think of a three-day mosaic course (or this book, which for some projects works on the principle that a weekend can be a 'long weekend' - three days) is not worth repeating , but the fact remains that wonderful things can be, and are achieved in this short space of time. So let's let the mosaics speak for themselves. About The Projects In this Book. \t The projects in this book have been chosen to show the wide range of styles, materials and techniques available to the modern mosaicist. Choose the projects that suit your temperament - it is unlikely that someone who feels drawn to the 'Gaudiesque' style of using great big chunks of broken pottery is also going to enjoy the painstaking work involved in nibbling fine detail for an intricate design. I strongly recommend that you read the chosen project through carefully before you start. There's nothing more maddening than to have to stop work because you have forgotten a vital piece of equipment. You will also notice that there are times when you will need to wait, say, for glue to dry. It is important to realise this before you begin a project, so that you don't get disappointed when you find you have to wait, for example, a whole week for cement to set. I have tried to choose projects that range from the simple, that can be achieved in a morning (For example a Trivet, and a Shell Number Plate, ) to the more advanced, that may take 3 days to complete (For example a Geometric Roman Paving Slab) . There are plenty of mosaics for internal and external settings. Mosaic has the added advantage of being able to be wiped clean, so you can hang it in your kitchen or bathroom if you wish. Other mosaics have been chosen simply because they make perfect gifts. ., New Holland Publishers (UK), 1997<
