BIS PUBLISHERS MUSEUM COLLECTION

Do Good, Get Paid shows you how to make meaningful change in the world while being paid to do so Award-winning environmental campaigner, author and speaker, Natalie Fee draws on her experience in this sector to outline the areas of work where you can make a positive change and excel at what you do. Make a living while making a difference to the world.

The story of art is not always the story of art-historical 'isms' and complex academic debate The real history is often the story of some very simple firsts The first time an artist painted themselves, the first time someone painted a smile, the first actual place to be depicted, the first feminist artwork, the first anti-war work. Art Firsts brings together 30 of these pioneering firsts to piece together an original approach to looking at and appreciating art, as well as understanding where it has come from and how it relates to you
