Damien Hirst. Damien Hirst first came to public attention in London in 1988 when he conceived and curated Freeze, an exhibition in a disused warehouse which showed his work and that of his friends and fellow students at Goldsmiths College.
In the nearly quarter of a century since that pivotal show, Hirst has become one of the most influential artists of his generation. This is the first substantial survey of his work in a British institution and brings together key works from over twenty years. The exhibition includes iconic sculptures from his Natural History series, including The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living 1991, in which he suspended a shark in formaldehyde. Review: The BabyLit® Series by Jennifer Adams Makes Me Wish My Boys Were Still Wee. There are many things now available to today’s parents of young children that make me wish my boys were still wee.
The choice of educational, yet fun and even geeky, products currently available is overwhelming. The BabyLit® series of board books, written by Jennifer Adams, illustrated by Alison Oliver and published by Gibbs Smith, are each examples of something I wish was available when my children were around one-year-old. There are four books in this series: Little Miss Austen Pride & Prejudice, Little Master Shakespeare Romeo & Juliet, Little Miss Brontë Jane Eyre, and Little Master Carroll Alice In Wonderland. The Little Miss books teach counting and the Little Master books are colours primers.
Not only will these books teach your toddler how to count from 1 – 10, and learn a variety of colours, but they also introduce your children to other vocabulary, such as: cat, candles, chalkboards, caterpillar, and so much more. Georgian era. The Georgian era of British history is a period which takes its name from, and is normally defined as spanning the reigns of, the first four Hanoverian kings of Great Britain (later the United Kingdom), who were all named 'George': George I, George II, George III and George IV.
The era covers the period from 1714 to 1837, with the sub-period of the Regency defined by the Regency of George IV as Prince of Wales during the illness of his father George III. The last Hanoverian monarch of the UK was William's niece Queen Victoria who is the namesake of the following historical era, the Victorian, which is usually defined as occurring from the start of her reign, when William died, and continuing until her death.
