Now in its fifth edition, The ECOlogical Calendar seeks nothing less than to revolutionize our conception of time. Unlike the typical Gregorian calendar's gridlike format, The ECOlogical Calendar's colorful three-foot-long panels depict Earth s four seasons--from solstice to equinox or equinox to solstice--and examine the relationship of the planet's organisms with their environment. Each panel's design reflects the interactions among Earth, sea, and sky while emphasizing the age-old procession of life from season to season. In addition, this year's ECOlogical Calendar includes exciting new information from NASA Earth Observations (NEO), which processes the massive amounts of data gathered by satellites for use in studying the forces shaping our planet. The space race of the 1960s put a man on the moon. But it wasn t the lunar landscape that inspired awe so much as the view from space of our own spinning orb with its blue oceans and white clouds--a powerful reminder of our responsibility to care for Earth s well-being. Thanks to NEO, now more than ever The ECOlogical Calendar will help you do just that. The ECOlogical Calendar makes a beautiful wall display, but its accordion-fold panels can just as easily be used at a desk.

Includes four two-sided panels (each panel is 36 x 12 in., folded to 12 x 12 in.); includes six-page booklet and closeable jacket for storage. Printed on recycled paper using soy-based inks..

Edward Gorey's first miniature book, The Eclectic Abecedarium is an illustrated adventure through the English alphabet, accompanied by rhyming couplets penned by Gorey, who described his creations as "literary nonsense." Inspired by popular moral primers for children, Gorey created an updated version of Isaac Watts's alphabetic aphorisms. Part sweet songs of unseen birds and part cautionary tales, this abecedarium fully lives up to the epithet "eclectic.".

Christened Angelica Transome, in a village infelicitously named Nether Postlude, a girl might be tempted to behave ghoulishly. And having misbehaved, might she not think herself deserving of a headline or two, possibly a mini-series, if only after the hangman had got her? But no. Neglected was Angelica and neglected too were the eleven other thugs, poisoners, sportswomen, and hobbyists assembled here for a belated commemoration. If not for Gorey's droll sleuthing, we might never have appreciated the important part women have played in the history of homicide.

An umbrella is missing. A man is distressed. A thief scampers over rooftops. A child is in danger. A harangued salesclerk weeps. A dog save the day.

The intriguing story of The Sopping Thursday is unlike any other Edward Gorey book, both because of its unique gray-and-black illustrations and because it has a happy ending (if one is to dismiss any worry about the child featured in the last frame). In just thirty images and thirty short lines of text, Gorey manages to create a complex tableau of characters and a plot worthy of film noir.

Long out of print, this new edition is faithful to the size of Gorey's original drawings and wisely refrains from offering any editorial commentary...except to say this Gorey jewel is--to quote the eminent literary critic Edmund Wilson--"a brilliant discovery.".
