A powerful, poetic picture book biography about artist Agnes Martin and how she painted to show her love for the worldHow to Love the Whole World is a powerful, poetic picture book biography about fine artist Agnes Martin and how she painted to show her love for the world from international art scholar Henry Martin and author/illustrator Shelley Hampe. Like her contemporary Georgia O’Keeffe, Agnes was deeply inspired by the New Mexican landscape and lived a solitary life there, painting what she loved. And what did Agnes love? She loved an eggshell blue sky at sunrise, and she loved the cotton candy pink sunset. Agnes loved the whole world. She said, “If I paint the things I love, then my paintings will be about love. And you will feel love when you look at them.” She even painted a painting called I Love the Whole World—twice. But some days, Agnes did not love the whole world. Not everyone understood her art, or her, and she felt it all. Agnes painted solace in pale, barely-there, mercurial hues and painstakingly simple lines and squares.In simple, poetic language, How to Love the Whole World tells a story of an artist and answers the question, “How do we love the whole world?” We slow down, pay attention, seek beauty and truth, feel it all, maybe even joy.

""Early Friends and Modern Professors: In Reply to Strictures, by Joseph John Gurney"" is a book written by Henry Martin in 1836. The book is a response to criticisms made by Joseph John Gurney, a prominent Quaker minister, about the beliefs and practices of the early Quaker movement. Martin argues that Gurney and other modern Quakers have strayed from the original teachings of George Fox and other early Quaker leaders. Martin defends the early Quaker emphasis on direct spiritual experience, simplicity, and nonviolence, and criticizes the modern Quaker focus on social reform and political activism. The book provides a detailed analysis of Quaker history and theology, and is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of the Quaker movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Inevitably separated from the woman who brought hope back to his life, Rudy leaves for France to seek seasonal employment. This simple journey, however, soon becomes a quest for self-discovery, which takes him through France, Italy, and Austria before he is able to return to Spain. Battling his inner demons as the lies he invented in order to survive close in on him, Rudy's sanity is tested in ways he would never imagine. This is a story of human spirit.

Astray on an unfamiliar island following his unconventional escape from Barcelona, without shelter and abandoned by his companions, an unlikely relationship becomes Rudy's only hope to settle down.

Having left behind his childhood town full of dead-end jobs and bleak prospects for a future, Rudy, a nineteen-year old runaway, arrives in Barcelona. Two days later, he finds himself outside a subway station half-naked and robbed of all his possessions. Trapped in a city whose language he doesn't speak, without a passport or anyone to turn to, Rudy is plunged into a world of hunger and homelessness. Yet, fighting off the ravages of slow starvation proves far easier than the struggle to maintain his own decency and humanity when he is forced to befriend a hostile thug who holds the only key to Rudy's escape. Unconditionally realistic, Mad Days of Me: Escaping Barcelona explores the conflicted ideology of youth and society's indifference to suffering in a harrowing tale of survival. This is a story of perseverance. A story of anguish, dignity, madness, and redemption.
