![]() Representational Strategies in Les Misrables and Selected Drawings by Victor Hugo: An Intermedial Comparison $44.95 This book considers the interplay between art and literature by comparing representation techniques in passages from Les Misrables with artistic techniques in selected drawings by Victor Hugo. In both his artistic and literary production, Hugo uses a composite representational strategy that blends verbal and visual elements--attempting to break free of textual and pictorial media constraints. His dual interest in text and image foreshadows contemporary expressive production, which now dominates communication. ![]() The Graphic Arts: A Treatise On The Varieties Of Drawing, Painting And Engraving In Comparison With Each Other And With Nature $55.95 This scarce antiquarian book is included in our special Legacy Reprint Series.

Description: The psychological effects of writing versus drawing about a stressful experience were compared. Participants were randomly assigned either into a control group (n=34), a journaling group (n=29), or a drawing group (n=29). A measure of psychological symptoms was completed before and after two 15-min sessions. The results indicated that participants in the journaling group had a significantly greater decrease in their psychological symptoms than those in the drawing group or the control group. Journaling was also found to have a more positive effect for participants who initially had higher levels of psychological distress. ![]() Project Plato $15.98 I was really excited about this cd since I fell in love with Christion's first album, "Ghetto Cyrano". However, I was severely disappointed. It doesn't even have as much soul as most songs on the RADIO!!! The beats are generic and boring, lyrics sound forced and you can just tell that these guys are no longer singing about stuff they understand or know about. "My Reason"?!?! That song's just cheesy and I only listen to it for a good laugh. And "Where Yo Girlfriend At"? Again, only for a good laugh. Not sure what happened between the first album and this one (other than Allen Anthony's departure), but things just ain't the same. And GW's right, most of the reviews claiming this is a must-buy are from family members, friends, managers, and other business partners. KNyte had something to do with their silly "Let Em Know" video, I believe. Anyway, I hope y'all find this review helpful....if you want a Christion cd, go for the first one. But hey, everyone has their own taste in music and maybe y'all don't care bout listening to the real..... but if you do, then stay far far away from this cd (unless you just want somethin for laughs). |
