Praise for Linda Lear's BEATRIX POTTER: "An in-depth biography of Beatrix Potter is long overdue and here Linda Lear fills that gap with a thoroughly well-researched and compelling book."--Judy Taylor, author ofBeatrix Potter: Artist, Storyteller and Countrywoman Praise for Linda Lear's RACHEL CARSON: WITNESS FOR NATURE: "..a probing and scrupulously footnoted accounting of this extraordinary woman's life....Lear's treatment of Carson's romantic life is never prurient, and it helps fill out the portrait of a gifted and courageous woman who helped redefine the way humans look at their place in nature."--Time "Linda Lear's RACHEL CARSON: WITNESS FOR NATURE is timely indeed. Happily it is also authoritative. Lear..has the empathy, balance and literary skill to conjure up Carson the scientist, writer, lover and family member, shackled for life to need relatives....As both biography and scientific commentary, RACHEL CARSON: WITNESS FOR NATURE is a staggering accomplishment. Lear's impressive research, scrupulous presentation, deep sensitivity, controlled passion and lyrical prose are reminiscent of Carson's, and paint a mulit-dimensional portrait of the woman whose Silent Spring unleashed shrieks of protest that still resound today."--Elizabeth Abbott "Hers was an exemplary existence, and now it has been told in exemplary fashion by Linda Lear....Lear is honest but tactful - reflecting Carson's own delicacy....the power of Lear's magnificent, heartfelt biography is enough to send the reader back to Carson's writing with new attention and respect."--Verlyn Klinkenborg, Audubon "Much deserved, a biography would also be difficult to write. Happily, RACHEL CARSON: WITNESS FOR NATURE by Linda Lear is sensitive, scrupulous and a consistently fine read."--Baltimore Sun "In terms of research, Carson has been well-served by her biographer."--Observer Review "Linda Lear's prose is tidy, meticulous in its attention to detail and shows a deep reverence for its subject."--New Scientist, Praise for Linda Lear's BEATRIX POTTER: "Lear paints an appealing, revealing picture of an independent, accomplished and loving woman who used her art and research to educate herselve and a host of readers."-- Bookpage "As an appreciation of a life well-lived and a talent almost accidentally nurtured, Beatrix Potter , tells an absorbing story well worth reading."-- Christian Science Monitor "Potter was a famously close observer of the world around her, and Lear is an equally close observer of her subject. The result is a meticulously researched and brilliantly re-created life that, despite its length and accretion of detail, is endlessly fascinating and often illuminating. It is altogether a remarkable achievement."-- Booklist, *Starred Review* "In this remarkable biography...the author's meticulous attention to detail is obvious throughout, not to mention her elegant writing and exceptional scholarship. Highly recommended."-- Library Journal "Potter's witty journals, with their close observations of people, animals, objects and places, serve as the basis for Lear's engrossing account, which will appeal to ecologists, historians, child lit buffs and those who want to know the real Squirrel Nutkin, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Benjamin Bunny."-- Publishers Weekly "The great achievement of this book is the way it knits together Potter's lifelong activities in art and science and shows how they are all part of an extraordinarily integrated life: how her feeling for plants and animals and her finely detailed observations of the natural world were the foundation stones of her children's books as well as her land management skills and environmental awareness."-- The Australian "An in-depth biography of Beatrix Potter is long overdue and here Linda Lear fills that gap with a thoroughly well-researched and compelling book."-- Judy Taylor, author of Beatrix Potter: Artist, Storyteller and Countrywoman, Praise for Linda Lear's BEATRIX POTTER: "Lear paints an appealing, revealing picture of an independent, accomplished and loving woman who used her art and research to educate herselve and a host of readers."-- Bookpage "As an appreciation of a life well-lived and a talent almost accidentally nurtured, Beatrix Potter , tells an absorbing story well worth reading."-- Christian Science Monitor "Potter was a famously close observer of the world around her, and Lear is an equally close observer of her subject.

Synopsis

Cosmic! uses technology to communicate through weblinks, blogs and educational games . Students enjoy learning in a fascinatingly familiar environment. Cosmic! offers the perfect platform for teenagers to investigate, solve and report ... with one clear focus on one final goal - exam success!, Peter Rabbit, Mr. McGregor, and many other Beatrix Potter characters remain in the hearts of millions. However, though Potter is a household name around the world, few know the woman behind the illustrations. Her personal life, including a romantic relationship with her publisher, Norman Warne, and her significant achievements outside of children's literature remain largely unknown. In Linda Lear's enchanting new biography, we get the life story of this incredible, funny, and independent woman. As one of the first female naturalists in the world, Potter brought the beauty and importance of nature back into the imagination at a time when plunder was more popular than preservation. Through her art she sought to encourage conservation and change the world. With never before seen illustrations and intimate detail, Lear goes beyond our perrenial fascination with Potter as a writer and illustrator of children's books, and delves deeply into the life of a most unusual and gifted woman--one whose art was timeless, and whose generosity left an indelible imprint on the countryside., How the courage to give up alcohol transforms the way we look, eat and succeed. Take a journey into candid interviews with eight different people who all live their lives alcohol free. Health and wellness expert coach, Artist, Yogini and Mom of two, Rebecca Sweeney takes you into the private lives of recovered alcoholics, drug abusers and people who simply decided to live a clean life. A sober entrepreneur herself, Rebecca takes and teaches the reader through: -HOW TO LIVE AN EXCITING, MIND BLOWING & FABULOUS LIFE -HOW TO LIVE WITH FABULOUS SUCCESS -HOW TO LOOK FABULOUS -WHY ALCOHOL IS A LIFE NUMB-ER -TOOLS, BREATH WORK AND MEDITATION -THE IMPORTANCE OF FITNESS -FABULOUS FOOD, DIET & NUTRITION -LIFE AFTER ALCOHOL, NOW WHAT? -THE DIVINE INTERVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS (Part 1 & 2) ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rebecca graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia in 2001 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the Department of Illustration. Along with art, in college, she submerged herself on the crew and rowing team. This was the birth of her passion in fitness. She was selected to study with the college abroad in Provence, France, Florence and Venice, Italy in 1999. There she studied interior and exterior illustration. Immediately after her college graduation, she became a certified Yoga teacher/instructor. Moving from the Yoga mat and professional Illustration world, she found peace in freelance artwork, creating custom art works for clients and constantly developing collections of multiple meaningful art series'. She celebrates her style changing and evolving constantly, which is going against the grain of the typical illustrator. The freedom in her work is inspired from her over twelve years of teaching classic Hatha Yoga worldwide at various Yoga studios. Rebecca's biggest passion in life is to be a motivational speaker, combine art, creativity, wellness and fitness into helping people with their inspiration, health, balance and happiness in their own bodies, spaces and in their lives. She strives to bring the peace she sees through Yoga and meditation to her business. She strives to evoke continually positive reactions to all who view or own her art or to who become a part of her coaching team. She is the creator of TAO Happiness and The Clear & Present Movement, www.taohappiness.com and wwww.clearandpresent.com. Aside from running her at-home Beachbody wellness and coaching business, Rebecca celebrates peace, balance, equality, Motherhood, womanhood, nature, nutrition and diversity in every one of her artistic and business creations. Her passion above all, is to teach people how to love themselves once again, as she feels we tend to lose the self-love we are each born with. Rebecca A. Sweeney felt moved to write a book when she got a hold of her life. She made it through her self-abuse of the twenties, found herself in depression and 60 pounds over weight in her early thirties and decided to change all of that naturally, with vigor, community and entrepreneurial community. Find out how she and several of her mentors achieved their dream life in this compelling tell-all, interview-style and warmly motivational book. Rebecca A. Sweeney Artist, CYT, Wellness/Fitness Expert, Diamond Team Beachbody Coach www.taohappiness.com www.beachbodycoach.com/ZenMamma www.teambeachbodycoach.com/ZenMamma "Becca is a natural teacher who knows how to give clear and down to earth explanations to any level of student without sounding preachy. She is obviously very passionate and knowledgeable about yoga and pulls from a wide variety of styles and influences. Her classes are always varied and interesting with just the right amount of challenge. She was my first yoga teacher and inspired and influenced me so much that I eventually went on to become a yoga teacher myself." -Lauren Lapointe, musician/yoga instructor from, Savannah, GA www.laurenl.com
