For this book, Ray Bradbury creates an ingenious framework for tying together a collection of short stories. The Illustrated Man is a wanderer whose entire body is a living canvas of exotic tattoos, which isn’t so unusual in 2014 but was quite weird and disturbing in the 1950s. What’s even weirder is that the tattoos come alive and each proceeds to unfold its own story. This book has remained in print since its publication in 1951, testimony to the broad appeal of Bradbury’s work.

Trabzon is a city on the Black Sea coast of northeastern Turkey and the capital of Trabzon Province. Trabzon, located on the historical Silk Road, became a melting pot of religions, languages and culture for centuries and a trade gateway to Iran in the southeast and the Caucasus to the northeast. The Venetian and Genoese merchants paid visits to Trebizond during the medieval period and sold silk, linen and woolen fabric; the Republic of Genoa had an important merchant colony within the city called Leonkastron that played a role to Trebizond similar to the one Galata played to Constantinople (modern Istanbul). Trabzon formed the basis of several states in its long history and was the capital city of the Empire of Trebizond between 1204 and 1461. During the early modern period, Trabzon, because of the importance of its port, became a focal point of trade to Iran and the Caucasus.

Historically Armenia and Azerbaijan have been long associated with Asia and the Middle East. In recent years some sources now consider them to be more closely aligned with Europe based on their modern economic and political trends. I. E. Both are similar to the former CIS country of Georgia, now included as part of Europe. We have moved in that direction as we attempt here to show the modern definitions, but in worldwide geography, there are often many answers (or opinions) to what appears to be a simple question.
Armenia is a mountainous, landlocked country, on the southeastern edge of Europe, and at the gateway to the Middle East and Asia.

Daily Shoot - Make a photograph that illustrates randomness in some way today.
The view out my window through my macro lens - every slight turn of the lens yields an entirely different vista! The optics of these rain drops make it appear as though they're looking in at me. Not that there's much colour, I converted the image to black and white for an extra bit of pop.

each of these thirty prints was coloured by hand; no two are the same.

This short video illustrates perfectly my whole philosophy about Shoe Design.
Pointy shoes combined with socks squash the toes and restrict their movement, restrict your balance, weaken the toes, which is reflected in a disempowerment in the joy of movement.
Shandals® are the shape of normal healthy feet, are broad
at the metatarsal arch, have a straight inside edge, a low
heel, with a big toe thong that guides the toe straighter and
relieves the pressure on the second and little toes.
The lace-up design holds the heels firmly back into the
back of the Shandals®, leaving the toes liberated and free to
spread into the wide toe box.
Weakened under-used muscles are exercised, so
strengthen.
Tendons and muscles stretch, so your feet rejuvenate and your natural balance, stability, vitality, grace, dignity and èlan is restored.
My Shoes and Shandals® have profound healing properties for those with sore and damaged feet.
Hammer toes have a chance to straighten. Corned, squashed little toes heal. The circulation improves, so cold feet warm.
Those that walk, skip and dance in my Shoes and Shandals, do so with great strength and agility.
This strength is reflected in strong ankles and legs.
All these qualities bring wonderful relief to tired, sore feet.
The 6 to 12mm leather soles are soft, so your unique footprints imbed into them. You end up with feet-shaped shoes, instead of shoe shaped feet.
The Uppers are fully lined in Suede or leather making them
superbly sensual, comfortable and luxurious.
The older they get, the more cosy and comfortable they become...........
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

The sarcophagus illustrates an episode in the mythology of the life of Achilles. In the face of knowledge that he would die at Troy, he was protected and hidden dressed as a girl on the island of Skyros. When Odysseus recalled that Troy could not be taken without the presence of Achilles, he came to Skyros with other envoys to seek him out. Weapons were offered to the girls. Achilles reached for them and Odysseus knew that this was the man. The hero went on to fulfill his destiny in the Trojan War.
The ends of the sarcophagus (not shown here) are much more typical of the story of Achilles - he is seen in combat with Hector and with Penthesileia Queen of the Amazons - killing both. The lid has amphorae between pairs of winged sphinxes, and masks of Pan at the corners.

I have discovered a fascinating illustrated story on a wall with the characters looking out of time and place. Since I can't decipher the text (I think it might be Assyrian), I am asking any linguists out there what the narrative says. I asked Siri and Google and they are clueless.

„Ich war eine zornige junge Frau, doch gibt es ja viele zornige junge Männer und Frauen, die trotzdem keine Künstler werden. Ich wurde Künstler, weil es für mich keine Alternative gab – infolgedessen brauchte ich auch keine Entscheidung zu treffen. Es war mein Schicksal. Zu anderen Zeiten wäre ich für immer in eine Irrenanstalt eingesperrt worden – so aber befand ich mich nur kurze Zeit unter strenger psychiatrischer Aufsicht, mit zehn Elektroschocks usw. Ich umarmte die Kunst als Erlösung und Notwendigkeit."

The book is fully illustrated, features a nicely condensed history of the space program up to 1967, and comes in a 64-page softcover format. The “Science Service” was a nonprofit organization founded in 1921 by journalist E. W. Scripps and zoologist William Emerson Ritter. Its mission was to make scientific knowledge accessible to the public, especially young readers and educators. It later became known as Society for Science, which still publishes “Science News” today. It was deeply involved in promoting science literacy during the Cold War era, when public interest in space and technology surged.
The “Science Program” label on the book refers to a series of educational publications produced in collaboration with Science Service and commercial publishers like Nelson Doubleday. They were not strictly school textbooks, but they were designed to be classroom-friendly and were often used in school libraries, science clubs, and enrichment programs. Many were sold through mail-order book clubs, such as the Science Program Book Club, which offered affordable science books to families and educators.
----------------------------------------------------
The opening paragraph of “Man in Space” is a glorious slice of Cold War-era space enthusiasm. Although exaggerated, it is emotionally honest to its time:
"OUR VAST NEW FRONTIER --All of us living today are witnesses to one of the greatest adventures of this or any other century. Hundreds of years from now historians will be looking back to the 1960s as the most thrilling age of exploration since Columbus led the way across the mysterious 'Ocean Sea' to the New World five centuries ago. This time the frontier is not the ocean, but space . . ."
For a science book aimed at sparking wonder, it’s a powerful opener. It sets the tone not just for factual content, but for a cultural moment when space was a canvas for hope and ambition. While the 1960s were thrilling, historians now view the space race as just one chapter in a much longer story of technological evolution, which includes the digital revolution, genomic mapping, or even deep sea discoveries.
