Art though the Ages
Hi! I am new to the blog and I am just helping out around the CWC Library (like an internship) and this is my first major assignment.
I chose the topic because it is a form of expression, and I wanted my first exhibit to be meaningful and art is full of meaning from subtle hints to ginormous ones. I'm not asking you to become there biggest fan but you should notice it, at least enough to see the whole picture.
Everyone wants to do something to be remembered by, do you want to be forgotten completely 10 years after you die, no you don't and they didn't either. That's why they drew and painted things to last a really long time. They wanted to be remembered though the ages not just for someone else a thousand years ago, but for today.

Crap

Written by Erin Elisabeth Conley, Karen Macklin, and Jake Miller
BF 637 .I48 C655 2009
This sub-title of this book is 'How to deal with annoying teachers, bosses, backstabbers, and other stuff that stinks' and that's what the authors talk about. They define it, then give advice on how to avoid it, deal with it, get rid of it and finally, how to go about "breaking the stank cycle." Enough said. Read the book and don't give me any...

The Unforgettable Season
Written by Gordon H. Fleming
Call #: GV 875 .A3 F55
Believe it or not, I am an avid fan of history. I love seeing how people in different eras functioned. One other thing you should know about me, I am a fan of baseball. This book does not only bring two of my favorite things together, but it does so in that it takes you back to that era without you ever noticing. This book takes old newspaper stories and recaptures the tale of a three team pennant race. From the beginning of the season until the end, this season was known as the greatest pennant race to ever occur in the history of baseball.

BREAKING CLEAN
by Judy Blunt
CT 275 .B57984 .A3 2002
Blunt’s storytelling is as sharp as the barbed wire that surrounded her life as a third generation rancher in Montana. Her memoir sheds light on her life as a ranch child, wife, woman, and mother and is gritty and gut-wrenching while remaining graceful.
This is one of my favorite memoirs.

The Art of Choosing
by Sheena Iyengar
BF 611 .I94 2010
A well written, thorough book on the who, what, where, when, why, and how of choosing. Although Ms. Iyengar writes with a grace that is conversational, just as if you would sit down and have a visit with her, it belies all the exhaustive amount of research that is in the book. Her writing presents a very keen and curious mind.
