Miriam Rosenbloom - Australian graphic designer, illustrator and book designer, from September 2014 a member of the Australian Book Designers Association (ABDA), an organization aimed at supporting the professional development of publishing designers and promoting new talents in this field (she was one of the initiators of its creation, and currently occupies the position of vice-president); artistic director of the Green Scribble project studio, which is located in Melbourne and deals with the design of books in various fields. A winner of several prestigious awards for her work. Rosenbloom began her professional career in her hometown of Melbourne, where she set up with her father, designer Henry Rosenbloom, and then moved to London, where she worked as a freelance editor for several British publishing houses, settling in for a longer time (as a senior designer ) at Faber & amp; Faber. For this publishing house in 2010, she designed - along with several other people - a series of poetic volumes of famous British poets (including Sylvia Plath), referring to the first editions of these works, but interpreting them differently. The graphics referred to the main motifs of the author's work, which was appreciated by the industry and readers - as a result, Rosenbloom was awarded the 2010 American Institute of Graphic Arts prize in the 50 Books / 50 Covers category. After this success, the designer returned to her native Australia in 2011 and started working at Green Scrible. In 2014, she won the award for best-designed editorial series (a novel by David Vogel, a Jewish murderer in Auschwitz), and in 2015 she was nominated for the best-designed nonfiction book (David Roland, How I Rescued My Brain. and Trauma).

Polish readers had the opportunity to meet the Rosenbloom project on the occasion of the premiere of Robert Gregory's novel David Shantaram, published by Marginesy Publishing House in the spring of 2016 (the Polish cover is adapted from the original edition).

He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler.
