<p>A summer of firsts Sixteen-year-old Eliza Miller has never made a phone call, never tried on a pair of jeans, never sat in a darkened theater waiting for a movie to start. She's never even talked to someone her age who isn't Amish, like her. A summer of good-byes When she leaves her close-knit family to spend the summer as a nanny in suburban Chicago, a part of her can't wait to leave behind everything she knows. She can't imagine the secrets she will uncover, the friends she will make, the surprises and temptations of a way of life so different from her own. A summer of impossible choice Every minute Eliza spends with her new friend Josh feels as good as listening to music for the first time, and she wonders whether there might be a place for her in his world. But as summer wanes, she misses the people she has left behind, and the Plain life she once took for granted. Eliza will have to decide for herself where she belongs. Whichever choice she makes, she knows she will lose someone she loves.</p>

The Cleveland  Museum of Art's  Art of Japan  features selections from three thousand years of Japanese art assembled since the museum opened in 1916. Many works in the collection are recognised in Japan as being National Treasures, the highest honour given only to works of near-perfect artistry. This remarkable collection's catalogue depicts a vast array of objects which convey the poetry of natural materials, the earthy humour of some of the most spiritual imagery, the dynamic use of 'empty' space, and, above all, the constant theme of the relationship of nature and humankind that are unique to Japan. The masterpieces that appear in this book provide an unaltered view of old-world Japan.
