Bartolomeacute; Esteban Murillo (1617 ndash; 1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter. Although he is best known for his religious works; Murillo also produced a considerable number of paintings of contemporary women and children. These lively; realist portraits of flower girls; street urchins; and beggars constitute an extensive and appealing record of the everyday life of his times.

A conversation piece for those looking to make a difference.SAVING OUR CITIES addresses problems and offers solutionsBy Cyrus WebbThere are so many who focus on the problems that we face today. How refreshing it is to see there are individuals out there who are also offering solutions that can turn things around.In SAVING OUR CITIES author William "Bill" Goldsmith does just that. showing that in many ways the urban areas of the United States have been neglected and given a bad rap. but all is not lost. He is able to show that whether we are discussing issues of education. the drug epidemic or jobs. there are ways we can begin to change things. First we have to admit that what is being done currently isnt solving the problem. Then we have to be willing to do the work necessary to invest in the areas that might seem hopeless. Goldsmith takes this out of the abstract and gives real examples of how individuals are taking steps to improve their own areas and how what they are doing can be duplicated.The other thing that really impressed me about the book was the reminder that no matter where we live in the country that if one area is suffering then it affects us all. Hopefully people who read SAVING OUR CITIES will realize that and do their part to improve conditions that can positively impact others.Full of research but also heart. SAVING OUR CITIES is a great conversation piece for those looking to make a difference.
