nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Making Way: Sailing Into The Revolutionary Storm is an adventure story that takes place on the waterways of colonial America, on a schooner (sailing ship) named Commerce. The story embraces a group of unlikely teenagers who find each other, an experienced sailor and a dog who collectively embark on a life changing journey during the political upheaval that surrounded the start of a new country. The teens face uncertainty living in a society not yet crystallized and not yet framed by a clear value system, which creates questions and presents dilemmas as their lives unfold. The main characters are challenged to reflect on and measure their own simple logic and their moral instinct against the mores and discrimination of the society around them. With every chapter, the drawings are in conversation with the written story, and they provide a visual context for the revolutionary era time period. The story, drawings, and book design evolved as a creative collaborative project which gave rise to this book as an object to hold, read, see, and experience.…

About the Author
Dick Farkas grew up on the East Coast sailing in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. With an undergraduate degree from Northwestern and a Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina in Political Science, he has been teaching college students for over fifty years about the ways politics intersects with life in a world with accelerating rates of change. Teaching about "comparative" politics, the responsibilities have facilitated travel to over sixty countries, four continents, six oceans, three circumnavigations, and countless relationships with fascinating characters. Politics is a driving force in our lives whether students and young adults understand and appreciate that or not. Making Way is the attempt to challenge young adults to think about that and to coax them to set their own courses.
M.A. Papanek-Miller is an artist who creates layered mixed media and drawing related works that are informed by our human relationships with animals, plants, water access and use which are seasoned with a bit of humor and worry. She explores quiet color on a variety of different sizes and surfaces and the images in her works are often drawn from collected childhood and related objects which contain their own individual stories. She was awarded an Artist Initiative Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, received an Individual Artist Grant from the Seattle Arts Commission, and exhibits with Jean Albano Gallery inChicago. She has an MFA in Art from the University of Houston, TX. and she is an Art (drawing) Professor and the Director of The Art School at DePaul University.

Other recent exhibitions include Flourish at the d'Art Center in Virginia, Insight at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Massachusetts and Inhabit at theManifest Gallery in Ohio.
