Ingres Then, and Now $33.95 Ingres Then, and Now is an innovative study of one of the best-known French artists of the nineteenth century, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Adam Rifkin reevaluates Ingres’ work in the context of a variety of literary, musical and visual cultures which are normally seen as alien to him.Rifkin offers insightful interpretations of Ingres’ early work, and follows the artist’s image in the popular cultures of the twentieth century. Approaching Ingres’ paintings as symptomatic of the commodity cultures of nineteenth-century Paris, he draws the artist away from his familiar association with the Academy and the Salon, and instead situates Ingres in the world of the Parisian Arcades. Finally, the book examines Ingres’ importance for the great French art critic Jean Cassou, and makes a bold, contemporary gay appropriation of his work. Ingres Then, and Now transforms the popular image we have of Ingres. Rifkin argues that the figure of the artist is neither fixed in time or place–there is neither an essential man named Ingres, nor a singular body of his work–but rather is an effect of many complex and overlapping historical forces. Lavishly illustrated with over 50 images, this compelling study will transform our understanding of Ingres and his cultural impact. |

KAWS Book By Rizzoli $26.99 This year New York’s Rizzoli publish and release a new 256-page page book that provides an retrospective look into one of the most influential artist’s of our generation, KAWS. This book comes on the heels of some other notable Rizzoli publications including Kanye West’s “Glow in the Dark” book, Supreme’s “Downtown Skate Culture” book, as well as the A Bathing Ape (BAPE) book. <br /><br /> A vibrant look at the celebrated artist and designer KAWS. This comprehensive monograph explores KAWS’s art career in depth, from his early street art interventions to his recent send-ups of familiar cultural icons. With wit, irreverence, and even affection, KAWS takes infamous entertainment characters such as the Simpsons and the Smurfs and traps them in plastic blister packages while reinterpreting their appearance. The packaged “Kimpsons” and “Kurfs” are new types of hybrid artworks that both serve and criticize contemporary consumer culture. Also featured is KAWS’s astute and prolific body of commercial work, including apparel from his Japanese store OriginalFake, a partnership with Medicom Toy, as well as product design, limited-edition toys, graphic designs; collaborations with architect Masamichi Katayama and artists Hajime Sorayama, Todd James, and Mark Dean Veca; collaborations with companies including Comme des Garçons, Levis, Lucas Films, The Simpsons, Nike, Supreme, and Marc Jacobs; and Japanese companies such as A Bathing Ape, Undercover, and Visvim. |

Religion, Medicine and the Human Embryo in Tibet $150 This book explores the cultural history of embryology in Tibet, in culture, religion, art and literature, and what this reveals about its medicine and religion. Filling a significant gap in the literature this is the first in-depth exploration of Tibetan medical history in the English language. It reveals the prevalence of descriptions of the development of the human body – from conception to birth – found in all forms of Tibetan religious literature, as well as in medical texts and in art. By analysing stories of embryology, Frances Garrett explores questions of cultural transmission and adaptation: How did Tibetan writers adapt ideas inherited from India and China for their own purposes? What original views did they develop on the body, on gender, on creation, and on life itself? The transformations of embryological narratives over several centuries illuminate key turning points in Tibetan medical history, and its relationship with religious doctrine and practice. Embryology was a site for both religious and medical theorists to contemplate profound questions of being and becoming, where topics such as pharmacology and nosology were left to shape secular medicine. The author argues that, in terms of religion, stories of human development comment on embodiment, gender, socio-political hierarchy, religious ontology, and spiritual progress. Through the lens of embryology, this book examines how these concerns shift as Tibetan history moves through the formative ‘renaissance’ period of the twelfth through to the seventeenth centuries. |

Excerpt: The first page of the Complutensian Polyglot Page from Complutensian Polyglot The Complutensian Polyglot Bible is the name given to the first printed polyglot of the entire Bible , initiated and financed by Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros (1436-1517). It includes the first printed editions of the Greek New Testament , the complete Septuagint , and the Targum Onkelos . Of the 600 printed, only 123 are known to have survived to date.History With the rise of the printing press in the 1450s, the potentials for more efficient production of the Bible were quickly realized. At great personal expense, Cardinal Cisneros acquired many manuscripts and invited the top religious scholars of the day, including Hernán Nuñez , to work on the ambitious task of compiling a massive and complete polyglot “to revive the languishing study of the Sacred Scriptures.” The scholars met in the city of Alcalá de Henares (in Latin, Complutum ), at the Cardinal’s own University of Alcalá .

Excerpt: A sculpture of the body of Christ by Gian Lorenzo Bernini . Bernini sculpted it from bronze in 1650 and held onto it in his private collection for 25 years.Corpus had gone missing for a long time and was in the hands of a French collector who thought the artist unknown.After being recorded in the Perugia region of Italy circa 1790, it had been “lost” for over 100 years, until it surfaced in Venice in 1908. Later it fell into private hands in the U.S. But at that point it was misidentified as a work from the school of Giambologna.It was not until 2002 that it was recognized as a Bernini. And it took until 2005 for the provenance to be definitely and directly linked to Bernini.Bernini made three sculptures named “Corpus”. One belongs to Spain , part of the Spanish royal family’s official collection. The other went missing during the Napoleonic wars .In January 2007 Toronto real estate developer Murray Frum negotiated to buy the sculpture from an art dealer in the United States and donated the sculpture to the Art Gallery of Ontario .Value “Corpus” is said to be worth $50 million in the current art market.References (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at … |

He first appeared in Flash #128 (May 1962) and was created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino . Fictional character biography The Flash #133 (December, 1962), cover art by Carmine Infantino Abra Kadabra is from the 64th century, at a time when science has made stage magic obsolete. However, he desires a career as a performing magician, so he goes back in time to find an audience to entertain and soon clashes with the Flash (Barry Allen ). He is an actual sorcerer . In one of his many confrontations with the Flash, Abra Kadabra’s technology is damaged and his body becomes insubstantial and wraith-like. After his body is returned to normal, he is captured by a bounty hunter named Peregrine, and returned to his native century to serve a death sentence, although he is saved by the Flash before he can be executed. Shortly after returning to the 21st century, during the Underworld Unleashed storyline, he forgoes his technological implements and tricks five rogues into selling their souls to Neron so he can gain genuine magical powers.

Excerpt: The 1955 Le Mans disaster occurred during the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans when a racing car involved in an accident flew into the crowd, killing the driver (Pierre Levegh ) and between 80-120 spectators. A further 100 people were injured in the accident. In terms of human toll, it is the most catastrophic accident in motorsports history. Before the accident Pierre Levegh, aged 50, had been hired by Mercedes-Benz as a factory driver that year. Part of his appeal to Mercedes was his determination shown in the 1952 race when he had driven for 23 straight hours. He had been leading due to not having taken the time to switch drivers, even though he did have a driver who could have replaced him. He failed to win only because of a missed gear change , resulting in engine failure, in the final hour of the race.Mercedes had also debuted its new 300 SLR sportscar in the 1955 World Sportscar Championship season, with some notable success, including a win at the Mille Miglia . The 300 SLR featured a body made of an ultralightweight magnesium alloy called Elektron with a specific gravity of just 1.8 (for reference, aluminium has a S.G. of 2.7 and steel 7.8). This body lowered the overall weight of the car, improving performance. The car, however, lacked the contemporary state-of-the-art disc brakes featured on the rival Jaguar D-Type , employing instead the conventional drum brake system. The high power of the car forced |

A Beautiful Mess: A Perfectionist’s Journey Through Self-care $15.99 In a society obsessed with perfection, it is no wonder so many women – especially Christian women – are breaking beneath the burden of expectation. With airbrushed cover models and “reality TV” blaring in stereo sound, it is no wonder women are abusing themselves, literally, to maintain the perception of perfection.If you are exhausted from trying to keep it all together or feel anxious at the thought of someone “finding you out” and calling you a fraud; if you are at the breaking point from meeting the demands of everyone else and always putting yourself last or simply beating yourself up because of your imperfections – this book was written for you.In her debut book, Kristin Ritzau shares her very personal journey to overcome crippling perfectionism. As she navigated a new marriage, endured a quarter-life health crisis, and was forced to redefine the God of her childhood, Ritzau discovered freedom in accepting she was a beautiful mess. She didn’t need to clean up her “perfect” life any longer. It was only through examining the emotional, mental, physical, sexual and spiritual facets of herself, that she experienced the Holy Spirit’s healing: acceptance, contentment and rest. “A Beautiful Mess” will help readers do the same by introducing practices such as contemplative prayer, art journaling, and “playing in your body” while demystifying the self-care journey. The best part of Ritzau’s story is that she is sharing it – to help other women heal and discover their own beautiful mess. |

A Handbook To The Works Of William Shakespeare $26.28 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III BIOGRAPHICAL (HISTORY AND TRADITION) ” O HAKESPEARE,” says Dryden, “was the man who of all modern, and perhaps ancient poets, had the largest and most comprehensive soul.” Is this one reason why we know so little of the body’—the mere outward life of the man? So little indeed, that a biography of Shakespeare should always begin with a statement of the half dozen facts that form its meagre foundations. We may give these meagre facts in the words of Steevens: “All that is known with any degree of certainty concerning Shakespeare is—that he was born at Stratford-upon-Avon—married and had children there— went to London, where he commenced actor, and wrote poems and plays—returned to Stratford, made his will, died and was buried.” But this brief summary of Steevens should be followed by at least one important reflection; the days of Shakespeare were not the days that deal in ana; they dismissed Marlowe with still less care or courtesy; they forgot the very birthdays of Peele and Greene, of Chapman, Lodge, Nash, Kyd; and when I pointed to the meagre facts of Shakespeare’s life, I meant rather a meagreness in comparison with the magnitude of his work; for his period ofauthorship extended over twenty years and produced nearly twice that number of works, nine tenths of which were masterpieces of their kind. This period we will now survey briefly; but first we must take a yet briefer glance at the thirty years preceding. 1 May we conjecture that if Shakespeare had taken a more conscious interest in his art—his creations—himself—we should have heard more about him—and possibly have been none the better for it?

January 29, 1893. ‘THHE funeral services of Miss Ingersoll, obeying her own instructions, were of a quiet and simple character. They began with a brief prayer by her pastor, Rev. Charles Brown Elder, at the Invalid’s Home, where she had passed her last days.
