Shape, color, and light, he has an impeccable eye for composition, for juxtaposing line against line, drawing the viewer's eye into his subject. . . . In North Dakota, he likes a flood-drenched plain in orange twilight, one stretch of barbed wire fence in a strong horizontal, another triangulating stretch (just the fence posts visible above the water) disappearing into the distance. In South Dakota, he gives us a flat plain with alternating gold, green, and brown strips of field, a dark storm building overhead. . . . Accompanying...

Route 66: A Road to America's Landscape, History, and Culture
ISBN: 9780896728257 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Markku Henriksson was growing up in Finland, the song (Get Your Kicks on) Route 66 was one of only two he could recognize in English or Finnish. It was not until 1989 that Henriksson would catch his first glimpse of the legendary highway. It was enough to lure Henriksson four years later to the second international Route 66 festival in Flagstaff. There he realized that Route 66 was the perfect basis for a multidisciplinary American Studies course, one that he has been teaching at the University of Helsinki ever since.
Forming the soul of this work and yielding a more holistic and... When Markku Henriksson was growing up in Finland, the song (Get Your Kicks on) Route 66 was one of only two he could recognize in English or Finnish. ...

The 239 extant items are brought together in one book...

But as he thought more and more about it, Greg realized he wanted something different from life; something other than grinding for a paycheck and something that would erase the notion that middle age is the place where dreams go to die. And topping that list of desires for something different was a desire to no longer go to work. Within minutes and without warning, Greg found himself engulfed in...
