Victor Skrebneski
Five Beautiful Women

2008 y.
Publisher: Rizzoli
Description: Skrebneski is celebrated as one of the world`s finest fashion and portrait photographers. His diverse body of work has won him international accolades and, for more than half a century, he has photographed the world`s most famous people, from Orson Welles, Truman Capote, and Audrey Hepburn to Andy Warhol, David Bowie, and Iman. In 1962, Skrebneski became the exclusive photographer for Estee Lauder, and over the years his flawless images of models such as Paulina Porizkova and Willow Bay made history. Five Beautiful Women is an elegant portfolio, originally published in 1987, to commemorate his twenty five year collaboration with Estee Lauder. For the project, five distinctly beautiful models were chosen Phyllis Connor, Karen Harris, Karen Graham, Shaun Casey, and Willow Bay and, as Hubert de Givenchy notes, `(Skrebneski) succeeded in his very personal way to convey not only the external individuality of his subjects but, what in my opinion is most important, their inner beings.` [detailed...]

Five Children and It

1993 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: Its eyes were on long horns like a snail`s eyes… it had ears like a bat`s ears, and its tubby body was shaped like a spider`s and covered with thick, soft fur… and it had hands and feet like a monkey`s. `It` was the Psammead, the grumpy sand-fairy that could, if in the mood, grant a wish a day When the five children befriend him they find that each granted wish often has a sting in its tail. Golden guineas are too difficult to spend, wings let them down in a most inconvenient way, and when they wish for Red Indians, the children forget that they can sometimes be a little warlike. Generations of children have come to love the fantasy and the whimsy of the stories in the classic book from the author of `The Railway Children`. [detailed...]

Description: Book Description While exploring the environs of their summer home, five brothers and sisters find a Psammead, or Sand-fairy, in a nearby gravel pit: `Its eyes were on long horns like a snail?s eyes, and it could move them in and out like telescopes, it had ears like a bat?s ears, and its tubby body was shaped like a spider?s and covered with thick soft fur, its legs and arms were furry too, and it had hands and feet like a monkey?s.` The Psammead is magical and, every day, the ancient and irritable creature grants each of them a wish that lasts until sunset. Soon, though, they find their wishes never seem to turn out right and often have unexpected?and humorous?consequences. But when an accidental wish goes terribly wrong, the children learn that magic, like life, can be as complicated as it is exciting. [detailed...]

Anton Chekhov
Five Comic One-Act Plays

1999 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: One of the foremost dramatists of the nineteenth century, Russian author Anton Chekhov created a body of work noted for its realistic dialogue and keen insights into human relationships. This collection of five one-act plays-in the celebrated Constance Garnett translations-shows Chekhov at his witty best. The Anniversary takes a lively look behind the frenetic scenes at a bank, a man overburdened with errands from friends and family gives a nearly maddened but ludicrous account of his chores and obligations in An Unwilling Martyr, and The Wedding depicts scenes from a wedding reception in which the mother of the bride assumes affected airs and deals with quarrelsome guests. In The Bear, a virtuous, spirited widow is pressed to repay a debt and ends up receiving an offer of marriage. The Proposal depicts the trauma of a would-be suitor who winds up in a wrangle over property. Theater lovers, students of drama and literature, and other readers, as well as amateur and… [detailed...]

In October 1999, fifty thousand citizens occupied the streets in a successful effort to shut the World Trade Organization`s ministerial meeting. Trade unionists, environmentalists, human rights advocates and farmers converged on Seattle to denounce the new global economy. Street corners were occupied by irate French farmers, Earth First!ers locked themselves to hotel doors to prevent WTO delegates from exiting,the convention center was circled by a human chain, and black-clad anarchists roamed the streets, smashing the windows of Gap, Niketown, and the Bank of America. The Seattle cops responded fiercely, saturating the air with tear gas, attacking demonstrators with riot clubs, rubber bullets, and pepper spray. The street battle raged for three days. Six hundred people were arrested, held without lawyers at a local military base. But when the smoke and gas cleared, the protesters had… [detailed...]

Five Families: The Rise, Decline, and Resurgence of America`s Most Powerful Mafia Empires

2006 y.
Publisher: St. Martin`s Griffin
Description: The Mafia has long held a spot in the American imagination. Despite their earned reputation for brutality, the Mafia has been glorified in countless movies, books, and television shows. Not so in this book. Selwyn Raab makes no attempt to perpetuate myths about the Mafia, instead, he exposes them as a serious threat to honest citizens: `The collective goal of the five families of New York was the pillaging of the nation`s richest city and region,` he writes. These five families--Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese--were responsible for corrupting labor unions in order to control waterfront commerce, garbage collection, the garment industry, and construction in New York. They also ran illegal gambling operations, engaged in stock schemes, and initiated the widespread introduction of heroin (among other drugs) into cities of the East and Midwest in the 1950s, leading to `accelerated crime rates, law-enforcement corruption, and the erosion of inner-city neighborhoods in New… [detailed...]
