Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many people today are struggling; some are discouraged, and others worry about what the future holds. When the joys in life seem distant, inspiration will help us become renewed. In Opening the Windows Within, author David W. Stanfield explores important aspects in our lives to help us move past our obstacles and difficulties to improve the chances of experiencing a more rewarding and harmonious life. With the emphasis directed toward self-improvement and enhancement, Opening the Windows Within offers glimpses into ourselves by examining characteristics of our being, including consciousness, emotion, and spirituality, and it helps us realign our sense of values and perspective. Stanfield conveys the idea that we need something more to sustain the passion in our lives-beyond the labor of our careers and the toil of daily responsibilities. He encourages us to pursue our interests, ambitions, and dreams because they often provide the enrichment we seek in life.

Each plate is followed by a short critique by Thackeray. Thackeray was an old friend of Marvy, a French artist, who took refuge in London after the chaos of 1848. Theodore Taylor's 1864 biography of Thackeray mentions the history of the book: "A fine and skillful landscape painter himself, M. Marvy, while here, as a means of earning a living, made a series of engravings after the works of our English landscape painters. The publishers, however, would not undertake the work without a series of letter-press notices of each picture from Thackeray; and the latter accordingly added some criticisms which are interesting as developing his theory of this kind of art" (p.32). An interesting and quite scarce Thackeray item, very rarely found colored.Abbey, Life in England, no 207 : "The majority of the copies issued were uncoloured.".…
