This is their story. Photographer Robin Laurance has travelled through the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia to record the way young people from completely different cultures are responding to the challenge of growing up as \"the millennium generation\". His probing photographs - ranging from Masai teenagers on the threshold of manhood to a young Buddhist monk in Japan, from the dancers of London's Royal Ballet School to the cadets of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis - remind us not only of the characteristics that unite all humans as they go from birth to adulthood but also of the spectacular and rich diversity of the peoples of the planet. There is no attempt to disguise the problems of poverty or injustice, whether in villages far from paradise or in unforgiving city streets, but there is also much that is happy, determined, energetic, tranquil, humorous and joyful about the kaleidoscopic experience.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49590627434769,"sku":"GOR013379854","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51070791909649,"sku":"GOR006427951","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51413092532497,"sku":"GOR014265635","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500281521.jpg?v=1751358846"},{"product_id":"beloved-land-the-world-of-emily-carr-book-robin-laurence-9781550544749","title":"Beloved Land: The World of Emily Carr","description":"Young, spirited and rebellious, Emily Carr escaped a strict Victorian household to study art in the Paris of Picasso and Matisse. In middle age, she shook the dust of acceptable society from her shoes and began a passionate journey into the wilderness of British Columbia; the power of her genius made her one of the twentieth century's great painters.  Emily Carr's passionate nature paintings have been compared to those of Georgia O'Keeffe, Edvard Munch and Vincent van Gogh.  This volume pairs 40 of Carr's most popular paintings with quotations from her writing, which is still widely read today. The introductory text by Robin Laurence tells the story of Carr's unconventional life, and the development of her art. Designed with a focus on the seminal works of Carr's career, and packaged as an affordable paperback, Beloved Land is an ideal gift book.  Emily Carr has begun to gain international notoriety, beginning with her exhibition with O'Keefe \u0026amp; Khalo in 2002.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49920621576465,"sku":"GOR003988839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50390501359889,"sku":"CIN1550544748G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50529265090833,"sku":"CIN1550544748VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50736715301137,"sku":"GOR004679194","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53226709516561,"sku":"GOR012512294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1550544748.jpg?v=1751244200"},{"product_id":"sense-of-place-book-robin-laurence-9781927958261","title":"A Sense of Place","description":"A spectacular overview of one of the most highly acclaimed art collections on the West Coast, which greets travelers at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) as they journey between land, sea, and sky. The airport which is known for its modern design and expansive topography, offers an impressive visual display of award-winning art and architecture. Each terminal building represents the culture heritage, natural beauty, and iconic experiences that embody British Columbia, and the artwork exhibited throughout plays an integral role in telling those stories. Revered in particular for its focus on Pacific Coast Native art, the collection is presented in the thematic groupings of land, sea, and sky--three realms that intersect at YVR.  In A Sense of Place, art historian and critic Robin Laurence will examine the commissioning of dozens of striking artworks as a response to the airport's overall architectural and design plan, and particularly as a reflection of the cultural heritage and natural environment identified with the province of British Columbia. Among the highlights of the collection are monumental sculptures by leading Northwest Coast First Nations artists including Susan A. Point (Coast Salish), Robert Davidson (Haida), Dempsey Bob (Tahltan-Tlingit), Richard Hunt (Kwakwaka'wakw), Lyle Wilson (Haisla), Joe David (Nuu-chah-nulth), Connie Watts (Nuu-chah-nulth, Kwakwaka'wakw and Gitxsan), and the late Bill Reid, famed for The Spirit of Haida Gwaii: The Jade Canoe. Their art both welcomes and bids farewell to the millions of travellers who make their way through YVR each year.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50679949066513,"sku":"GOR012605563","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1927958261.jpg?v=1751347243"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-robin-laurence.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
