When her mother succumbs to pressure from her new husband and sends Vivian off to weight-loss camp over the Christmas holiday, Vivian is mad as hell and determined to treat Camp Featherlite with utter contempt every second of the three weeks she must spend there. She is also a star athlete, smart as hell, and utterly fearless. Vivian Ellenshawn, as the book jacket attests, is fat. More importantly, she raises some serious questions about the American fixation on weight loss and just how far some folks, especially impressionable teenagers, will go to attain society’s definition of the ‘‘perfect’’ size. I knew there were going to be losses (it’s a zombie novel!), and the author makes you care about every single one. Personally, I’ve never understood the appeal of zombie stories, but I was intrigued by Devos’s premise and completely won over by her characters. Just when you thought no one needed another zombie novel, author Kelly Devos gives readers Eat Your Heart Out, a terror-filled foray into weight-loss camp that will not be soon forgotten. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments The Power of Art by Simon Schama![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The masterpieces they created challenged convention, shattered complacency, shifted awareness, and changed the way we look at the world. The embattled heroes - Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, David, Turner, Van Gogh, Picasso and Rothko - each in his own resolute way faced crisis with steadfast defiance. Merciless and wily, the greatest paintings grab you in a headlock, rough up your composure and then proceed in short order to re-arrange your sense of reality.' With the same disarming force, "Power of Art" jolts us far from the comfort zone of the hushed art gallery, as Schama closes in on intense make-or-break turning points in the lives of eight great artists who, under extreme stress, created something unprecedented, altering the course of art forever. Painting became an important means of communication for David since his face was slashed during a sword fight and his speech became impeded by a benign tumour that developed from the wound. 'The hushed reverence of the gallery can fool you into believing masterpieces are polite things, visions that soothe, charm and beguile, but actually they are thugs. 'Great art has dreadful manners.' Simon Schama observes at the start of his epic exploration of the power, and whole point, of art. In a new book that accompanies a series of BBC-TV documentaries called The Power of Art, Schama examines the life and work of some of the greatest names in Western art history -.

Sure, the text is divided into chapters, each with a heading that is as provocative and compelling as a good copywriter could make it: "How to Get Clients" "How to Keep Clients" "How to be a Good Client", and my favorite "Should Advertising Be Abolished?" They're headlines written by a man who new the value of headlines, who, as a former door-to-door salesman knew how important a good attention-getting sentence was. Written in short bursts - shorter often than the copy he preferred to run in print ads - David Ogilvy's "Confessions of an Advertising Man" doesn't really have an arc or direction. ![]() And it even got Roger Sterling to write his own book. It definitely changed the kind of people who would do advertising. And it actually changed the way people inside advertising thought about themselves. It literally changed the way the public thought about advertising.
