"The brilliantly expressive clay models created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) as "sketches" for his works in marble offer extraordinary insights into his creative imagination. Although long admired, the terracotta models have never been the subject of such detailed examination. This publication presents a wealth of new discoveries (including evidence of the artist's fingerprints imprinted on the clay), resolving lingering issues of attribution while giving readers a vivid sense of how the artist and his assistants fulfilled a steady stream of monumental commissions. Essays describe Bernini's education as a modeler; his approach to preparatory drawings; his use of assistants; and the response to his models by 17th-century collectors. Extensive research by conservators and art historians explores the different types of models created in Bernini's workshop. Richly illustrated, Bernini transforms our understanding of the sculptor and his distinctive and fascinating working methods."--Publisher's website.

ANGEL ON THE LEDGE The created beings called angels, as outlined in the King James Version of the Holy Bible, have amazing abilities. Not being bound to time or space, they are well qualified for the missions assigned them. During the populating of the new continent, many of the immigrants settled on the first land available, being the eastern coast facing the Atlantic Ocean, hence an immediate overcrowding occurred. This book of historical fiction follows the lives of a number of young girls who, for various reasons, find themselves without family. Angel 734 had been given the mission to transport certain young throw-away girls from the coast, where they are not appreciated, to another place where well, its all in this book. In addition to the angel, the use of the Santa Fe Rail Lines and various other facilities were involved. Angel 734 was inventive, surely, and intent on fulfilling the Boss agenda. It was all well, it is too lengthy to explain here, but its all in the book.

Patricia Starr, a woman of seemingly indefatigable energy and enthusiasm for life, wanted to give something back to her community and pursue a dream to bicycle across America. In 2004, at age 67, she accomplished both by pedaling to raise $22,000 to establish a perpetual $1,000 yearly music scholarship at Santa Barbara City College. The story of her arduous 50 day, 3,622 mile odyssey across America is told in a compelling way that is an inspiration to all. She proves that chronologic age can be overcome by enthusiasm, determination and perspiration.

Dusty detours, sharing the interstate with 18-wheelers and a bear scare enhance the daily excitement of this unforgettable journey by an incredible senior citizen. Whatever your age, enjoy the adventures! And lastly, it's a love story about a husband willing to do anything to help his wife succeed and endure the rigors of the road, and Patricia's stamina to carry it out!

Sara released the bear hug she had on herself and lifted her arms toward the picture of Jesus on the cross and began to sing He is my Salvation. The melody coming from her was so beautiful and pure and powerful that it sounded like a choir of angels was singing in the tiny chapel; it filled the chapel and flowed out into the large room next door where the families were gathered just outside the chapel door. No one had ever heard such a beautiful voice sing with such passion and meaning. They all felt the need to kneel and just listen with bowed heads until she finished. Saras voice filled the rooms and spilled out to the surrounding woods, echoing such purity that even Gods animals stopped and listened to the voice that was singing only to God.
