Get creative with this amazing geometric colouring book that gives colour and copy a modern twist. Instead of squares to colour, Geo Art enables you to colour geometric shapes to create amazing 3D pictures that look like hybrids of pixels and 3D images. A must-have for fans of colouring, fans of detailed pictures and fans of animation.The book is divided into four sections to help you build your Geo Art skills:- In section one, the geometric shapes are larger and the pictures are simpler. Some of the pictures are partially coloured, so you just have to follow the mini finished picture and fill in the colour to complete each picture. - Then in section two, the geometric shapes are smaller, and the pictures have more detail to colour.You must complete the picture with only the outline and the finished picture to help you bring your Geo Art picture to life. - Section three is more challenging but fun! There's a finished picture to follow, but no outline to help you. Each picture is hidden

First published in 1968, this volume of essays, posthumously edited by the author’s brother Professor C. T. Hsia (a prominent Columbia University professor of Chinese literature), focuses on Chinese literary criticism relating to the work of leftist Chinese writers, including Lu Hsün, Chiang Kuang-tz’u, the “Five Martyrs,” and Chü Ch’iu-po, who were sympathetic to the ideals of the pre-1949 Chinese communist party. As one of the few foundational texts to provide a critical overview of the aesthetics and politics of China’s leftist literary movement, The Gate of Darkness examines the conflicting dilemmas between leftist authors’ own ideals and the strict ideological frameworks imposed by the propaganda policies of the Chinese communist party in the early twentieth century.Hsia’s essays are exciting reading precisely because Mr. Hsia approached his subject not merely with the index-cards of a historian but also with the sensitive eyes of a novelist. Tsi-an Hsia is a creative and compassi

For fans of Shut Up, This Is Serious, this humorous, relatable novel gives an honest look at what it's like to fall in love for the first time...with someone you were sure you hated. High school senior Mayte has never been kissed, but it hardly matters. Her abuelita has cancer, her half sister with special needs has moved in, and college is off the table--family comes first.
