"We’ve seen a lot of the exterior of Buckingham Palace, from Queen Elizabeth’s addresses to various royal baby announcements, but rarely do we get such an intimate look at its interiors. Designer Ashley Hicks takes us inside the palace for a look at where we get a tour of the truly sumptuous rooms (the White Drawing Room, the Throne Room, the Picture Gallery) in Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian styles that span the monarchs." —New York Magazine "Royal watchers, history buffs and interior design aficionados alike will enjoy this look at the iconic home of Britain’s royal family. Interior designer Ashley Hicks (a grandson of Lord Mountbatten and brother of  lifestyle entrepreneur India Hicks, who was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana) presents his own photographs of the castle’s staterooms, hallways and galleries, and describes the décor and the esteemed history of each. This lavish volume underscores the magnificence of these spaces and provides a strong measure of majesty for readers (especially those who, like me, are anxiously waiting for Season 3 of The Crown to air)." —Design NJ"Art publishing in 2018 produced a variety of interesting possibilities for the art lover on your Christmas list. Any fan of the British royal family will love Buckingham Palace" —Marina Times  Ashley Hicks is a British author, architect, interior and furniture designer, and photographer. He is the son of Lady Pamela Hicks and the legendary decorator David Hicks.

Interior designer and artist Ashley Hicks presents his photographs and description of the interior design of Buckingham Palace, home of Britain's royal family since 1837. An important representation of Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian styles, the palace is the work of such noted architects as John Nash and Sir Aston Webb. Hicks records the formal spaces with vibrancy, capturing the magnificent rooms furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection.

Starting at the Grand Staircase, Hicks leads us through the state rooms, which include the White Drawing Room and the Blue Drawing Room that both overlook the palace gardens; the Ballroom, which is the setting for twenty investiture ceremonies each year; and the Throne Room, used by Queen Victoria for spectacular costume balls in the 1840s. The long, skylit Picture Gallery is hung with important works of art from the Royal Collection by Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Nicolas Poussin, Anthony van Dyck, Johannes Vermeer, and Canaletto, among others. Decorative furnishings from George IV's exotic Brighton Pavilion lend a fanciful turn to many of the rooms.

Crown fans this is for you! I purchased this as a Christmas gift.It was a total hit! It's a detailed book about Buckingham Palace. I read an article that suggested if you know a fan of the Netflix show, The Crown they would love this.Well, I knew a fan and they did LOVE it!Beautiful Beautiful book and informativeThe photos and text were superb. I appreciated most the fact that the photos and text were done by relative of Prince Phillip which means that he probably had access to many things others would not have had.

The 19th Wife Pdf

ISBN: B001CXXAME
Title: The 19th Wife Pdf A Novel

Faith, I tell them, is a mystery, elusive to many, and never easy to explain.

Sweeping and lyrical, spellbinding and unforgettable, David Ebershoff’s The 19th Wife combines epic historical fiction with a modern murder mystery to create a brilliant novel of literary suspense.

It is 1875, and Ann Eliza Young has recently separated from her powerful husband, Brigham Young, prophet and leader of the Mormon Church. Expelled and an outcast, Ann Eliza embarks on a crusade to end polygamy in the United States. A rich account of a family’s polygamous history is revealed, including how a young woman became a plural wife.

Soon after Ann Eliza’s story begins, a second exquisite narrative unfolds–a tale of murder involving a polygamist family in present-day Utah. Jordan Scott, a young man who was thrown out of his fundamentalist sect years earlier, must reenter the world that cast him aside in order to discover the truth behind his father’s death.

And as Ann Eliza’s narrative intertwines with that of Jordan’ s search, readers are pulled deeper into the mysteries of love and faith.

Praise for The 19th Wife

“This exquisite tour de force explores the dark roots of polygamy and its modern-day fruit in a renegade cult...Ebershoff (The Danish Girl) brilliantly blends a haunting fictional narrative by Ann Eliza Young, the real-life 19th “rebel” wife of Mormon leader Brigham Young, with the equally compelling contemporary narrative of fictional Jordan Scott, a 20-year-old gay man…With the topic of plural marriage and its shattering impact on women and powerless children in today's headlines, this novel is essential reading for anyone seeking understanding of the subject.”
–Publishers Weekly, Starred and “Pick of the Week”

Very interesting. I found this book fascinating I was introduced to a way of life I knew little about and thoroughly enjoyed learning about it. The book was an interesting g mix of news accounts, writings from various sources, and story telling by and about various characters and during different time periods. . Although sometimes it "jumped around" a bit too much for my taste, so I sometimes was not sure where I was. Sometimes I had to stop and re-read a page or so to get my bearings. But despite this, I found it very interesting and fairly well done. I learned so much about the early Morman church, polygamy, and so many of effects this had on the teachings, church policy, as well as church members. So nice when a book reads well and you learn a lot at the same time!tA complex, yet enjoyable, novel For many years, I've had a fascination with novels, documentaries and biographies of polygamist wives. Why? Not because I want to experience this lifestye; I'm very satisfied in my marriage of monogamy. I'm fascinated because I want to know "what makes these women tick". I wonder: "Why would they subject themselves to a life like this? Why would someone put up with such a primitive, stifling lifestyle? Why wouldn't they want freedom?"This book truly delivered answers to my questions. For many of these women, this is the only life they have known: they were born into it. Not only does it deliver answers, it also delivers a certain amount of mystique... there's been a murder... and I definitely love the mystery of a murder. The narrator of the murder mystery(son of one of the sister wives, accused of murdering her husband) is edgy and truthful. He tells it like it is, whether you like it or not. He's street-wise and connected to both worlds: the world in which he grew up and the "real" world.Little by little, he weaves the profile of his mother: someone who didn't resist what she married into; someone who did as she was told; someone who was obedient, for the gain of her salvation. The narrator methodically pulls apart life in a polygamist family. He describes how the cult gets rid of the young boys, so that the old men can have the girls all to themselves. He also reveals the characteristics of the other sister wives, and their relationships with one another.The narrator knows that evidence of murder may be pointing right at his mother. He wants to help her, but he's not sure how. He doesn't want her to be executed, yet how can he save her?There are two "threads" of story-lines in this novel: the historical and the modern-day. The historical portrays the saga of Brigham Young and his sister wives, especially his 19th wife, who campaigned to end polygamy. Both of these threads are woven in such a way, that many "why's" were answered for me. Both of them drew me in, and held my interest. I wanted to jump into the story-lines of both threads, and rescue the women involved, plead with them to leave the lives they were in, and encourage them that there's a better life outside of their boundaries.I wanted to assure the ones who questioned their lives, to stay strong and leave this cult-life behind. All ran the risk of what would happen if they abandoned their "faith".While this novel was more complex than most that cover this subject, I was both challenged in keeping both story-lines straight and educated about a subject that I find fascinating. I also enjoyed following how the murder mystery was solved. I highly recommend this book.I would recommend it to anyone wanting to know a little more ... This a very interesting and informative book about the Mormons and the early formation of this religion group. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to know a little more about polygamy and how it worked or didn't work and why the Mormon church decided to abandon this practice.

100 Write-and-Learn Sight Word Practice Pages Download

ISBN: 0439365627
Title: 100 Write-and-Learn Sight Word Practice Pages Pdf Engaging Reproducible Activity Pages That Help Kids Recognize, Write, and Really LEARN the Top 100 High-Frequency Words That are Key to Reading Success
Author: Scholastic Teaching Resources
Published Date: 2002-02
Page: 112

Watch confidence soar as children master 100 sight words—the words most commonly encountered in any text. Children read more fluently, write with greater ease, and spell more accurately when they know these high-frequency words! These fun, ready-to-go practice pages let kids trace, copy, manipulate, cut and paste, and write each sight word on their own. Features words from the Dolch Word List, a commonly recognized core of sight words. Also includes games and extension activities. For use with Grades K-2.

Frustrating The cut and paste letters are in same position on both sides of the page. Therefore you have to choose for which word to solve the question "cut and paste the letters of the sight word". It causes significant frustration for both the chld and parent. It would have been so easy to print those letters on different location on each side of the page.Perfect as a supplemental aid for Sight Words! This was exactly what I was expecting. I'm a Pre-K teacher who works with 4 year-olds. For many of them, this is their first school experience. This book is a wonderful tool. It covers the list of Sight Words that we are supposed to learn in class over the course of the year, so I pick three a week and send them home one a night as homework. The kids love them and they've retained all of the words that we've learned so far. This is not meant to be used as the ONLY method that you use to teach these words, but rather as a supplemental. When used in that sense, this book has proved itself to be a very valuable resource!Inconsistent skill levels? I agree with most of what the other reviewers are saying about this book but I just wanted to add one other drawback for us.There seems to be a discrepancy in the skill levels required to do these pages. If a child needs practice spelling and writing the words, " me", "it", or " and" , then how can he be expected to write a sentence including that word at the bottom of the page? The example on the cover shows the page where the kids are learning the sight word, "me". Then the child wrote, "please pass me the butter " at the bottom. Even simple sentences seem like a strecth for me. If the child can write full sentences then they probably don't need a worksheet for 2 and 3 letter words.I suppose the child could be given a very simple example sentence and then asked to copy it...i don't know. I think they could have made better use of the bottom of the page. Maybe some kind of puzzle or activity?
