Carl Warner Livres

Carl Warner is a professional photographer known for his miniature landscapes made entirely from edible ingredients. A World of Food presents 12 of his amazing pictures, each one showing young readers what the world might look like if there were only a single color. “Yellow” is a desert made of pasta palm trees, cereal sand, and swiss cheese pyramids, while “Orange” features pumpkin cottages, carrot trees, and apricot leaves. Playful verse accompanies each image, guiding viewers through the pictures and inviting them to figure out the various foods used (which are all identified at the back of the book). This is a wonderful book about colors and creativity for parents and children to look through together and discover the many different foods that make up Warner’s fantastical world.Praise for A World of Food"Children will delight in pointing at the sweet ingredients, such as meringue clouds and lollipop trees."— Wall Street Journal"Kids and adults alike will marvel at these painstakingly assembled and composed photos, eagerly identifying the foods that make up the details of the landscapes."— Kirkus ReviewsHONORS 2012 National Parenting Publications Book Awards

Deníky vojenského kaplana Guye Mayfielda jsou mimořádně cenným svědectvím o osudech britských, českých i dalších pilotů RAF v letech 1940 a 1941. Nahlížíme do doby, kdy si nikdo z nich nemohl být jistý vítězstvím ve válce ani tím, že se dožije dalšího dne. Přesto tito piloti každý den vstali, létali a bojovali za svobodu své země i celé Evropy.Mayfieldovy texty jsou lakonické, silné a osobní. Kaplan obdivuje výkony pilotů v boji s Luftwaffe, aby vzápětí sdílel jejich obavy, finanční a rodinné problémy i city, jimž se nedá poručit ani v tomto konfliktu. Piloti za ním přicházejí, odcházejí – a najednou nejsou. Tehdy vede svůj lidský zápas i on: „Ani veškeré mé modlitby je neudrží v oblacích. Jak těžké je uchovat si křesťanskou naději a víru v té drobné změně mezi dvěma životy!“Knížku doprovázejí unikátní fotografie postav ze základny RAF v Duxfordu. V deníku narazíme i na několik pozoruhodných českých stop. Seznamte se s novým, neobyčejně působivým pohledem na bitvu o Británii.
