Condition Guide and Shipping Prices / a In the ruthless arena of King Henry VIII s court only one man dares to gamble his life to win the king s favor and ascend to the heights of political power / / England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster If the king dies without a male heir the country could be destroyed by civil war Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn The pope and most of Europe opposes him The quest for the king s freedom destroys his adviser the brilliant Cardinal Wolsey and leaves a power vacuum / Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell Cromwell is a wholly original man a charmer and a bully both idealist and opportunist astute in reading people and a demon of energy he is also a consummate politician hardened by his personal losses implacable in his ambition But Henry is volatile one day tender one day murderous Cromwell helps him break the opposition but what will be the price of his triumph / In inimitable style Hilary Mantel presents a picture of a half-made society on the cusp of change where individuals fight or embrace their fate with passion and courage With a vast array of characters overflowing with incident the novel re-creates an era when the personal and political are separated by a hairbreadth where success brings unlimited power but a single failure means death / Amazon Best of the Month October 2009 / No character in the canon has been writ larger than Henry VIII but that didnt stop Hilary Mantel She strides through centuries past acres of novels histories biographies and plays--even past Henry himself--confident in the knowledge that to recast historys most mercurial sovereign its not the King she needs to see but one of the Kings most mysterious agents Enter Thomas Cromwell a self-made man and remarkable polymath who ascends to the Kings right hand Rigorously pragmatic and forward-thinking Cromwell has little interest in what motivates his Majesty and although he makes way for Henrys marriage to the infamous Anne Boleyn its the future of a free England that he honors above all else and hopes to secure Mantel plots with a sleight of hand making full use of her masterful grasp on the facts without weighing down her prose The opening cast of characters and family trees may give initial pause to some readers but persevere the witty whip-smart lines volleying the action forward

Prices / a Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs r Digital photography has brought a new exciting aspect to design - first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal and improvement and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed This has had a profound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures r The Photographers Eye shows how anyone can develop the ability to see and shoot great digital photographs The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design but crucially it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited manipulated or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder r r Features r Covers both traditional in-camera composition and the new opportunities for picture-making made possible by digital imaging editing r Shows how to explore situations and locations in order to find the best possible photographic possibilities r Uses clear examples from real photographic assignments with schematic illustrations of how and why the pictures work r
