One of The Christian Science Monitor''s Ten Best Books of May"A highly original work of history . . . [Saltzman] has written a distinctive study that transcends both art and history and forces us to explore the connections between the two.” —Roger Lowenstein, The Wall Street JournalA captivatingstudy of Napoleon’s plundering of Europe’s art for the Louvre, told through the story of a Renaissance masterpiece seized from VeniceCynthia Saltzman’s Plunder recounts the fate of Paolo Veronese’s Wedding Feast at Cana, a vast, sublime canvas that the French, under the command of the young Napoleon Bonaparte, tore from a wall of the monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore, on an island in Venice, in 1797. Painted in 1563 during the Renaissance, the picture was immediately hailed as a masterpiece. Veronese had filled the scene with some 130 figures, lavishing color on the canvas to build the illusion that the viewers’ space opened onto a biblical banquet taking place on a terrace in sixteenth-century Venice. Once pulled from the wall, the Venetian canvas crossed the Mediterranean rolled on a cylinder; soon after, artworks commandeered from Venice and Rome were triumphantly brought into Paris. In 1801, the Veronese went on exhibition at the Louvre, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

‘A fascinating and deeply rewarding book’ Adam Zamoyski, Daily Telegraph Napoleon’s Plunder chronicles one of the most spectacular art appropriation campaigns in history and, in doing so, sheds new light on the complex origins of what was once called the Musée Napoléon, now known as the Louvre. It centres on the story of Napoleon’s theft of Paolo Veronese’s Wedding Feast at Cana, a vast, sublime canvas that in 1797 the French army tore from a wall of the monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. Feast was just one of Napoleon’s spoils of war, which he claimed for the French nation and displayed in a public museum – the Louvre. He filled the former palace of the French kings with his acquisitions, and Europe flocked to Paris and hailed the Louvre as the greatest museum in the world. Did he take it for himself? Or for France? Or for the world at large? Saltzman interweaves the stories of Napoleon’s military campaigns, uncovering the treaties through which he obtained his loot, with the histories of the plundered works themselves, exploring how these masterpieces came into being. As much as a story of military might, this is an account of one of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In 1968, the Beatles went to Rishikesh, India, studied transcendental meditation, and wrote music. These intimate photos are the only record of their time in this sacred retreat. This new edition of The Beatles in India brings intimate images of the group, taken at an ashram in Rishikesh, India, to a wider audience than ever before. No photographers or press were allowed at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, but the Beatles had no objection to fellow visitor Paul Saltzman freely snapping pictures during their time there. This unprecedented access resulted in an extensive collection of intimate photos of the world’s most beloved rock band during one of their most serene and productive periods, only two years before the official dissolution of the group. Containing a wide-ranging narrative by Saltzman—about everything from the story of how “Dear Prudence” came to be to George Harrison’s description of the first time he picked up a sitar—this unique and exclusive exploration of one of the Beatles’ most tender and bittersweet periods is a must-have for all fans of the legendary rock group.

Cynthia Owen grew up in Ireland, went to the local convent school, said her prayers and took her first communion with all the other girls in her class. But behind the façade of respectability lurked a hideous reality.Cynthia was just eight years old when she was sexually abused by her father amongst others. Shortly before her eleventh birthday she was made pregnant and, minutes after giving birth to the baby, Cynthia watched in horror as her own mother murdered the tiny infant, named Noleen, by repeatedly stabbing her with a knitting needle. Cynthia''s mother then wrapped the baby girl in a plastic bag, dumped her in an alleyway and made her daughter go back to school and pretend nothing had ever happened.After enduring many more years of rape and violence, Cynthia came forward and reported her abuse and Noleen''s death.Finally, in 2007, after a fifteen-year legal fight to have her baby girl formally identified, the jury at the ''Dun Laoghaire Baby'' inquest declared that the baby found dead in an alleyway thirty-four years previously was Noleen Murphy, the daughter of Cynthia Owen.Cynthia''s is a horrific story of brutality and loss, but ultimately, it is an account of love, immense bravery ...

''One of the most important books I''ve read in years'' Brian EnoWe are losing the commons. Austerity and neoliberal policies have depleted our shared wealth; our national utilities have been sold off to foreign conglomerates, social housing is almost non-existent, our parks are cordoned off for private events and our national art galleries are sponsored by banks and oil companies. This plunder deprives us all of our common rights, recognized as far back as the Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest of 1217, to share fairly and equitably in our public wealth.Guy Standing leads us through a new appraisal of the commons, stemming from the medieval concept of common land reserved in ancient law from marauding barons, to his modern reappraisal of the resources we all hold in common - a brilliant new synthesis that crystallises quite how much public wealth has been redirected to the 1% in recent decades through the state-approved exploitation of everything from our land to our state housing, health and benefit systems, to our justice system, schools, newspapers and even the air we breathe.

The long history of the racial wealth gap in America told through the stories of seven Black families who struggled to build wealth over multiple generations  Wealth is central to the American pursuit of happiness and is an overriding measure of well-being. Yet wealth is conspicuously absent from African American households. Why do some 3.5 million Black American families have zero or negative wealth?  Historian Calvin Schermerhorn traces four hundred years of Black dispossession and decapitalization—what Frederick Douglass called plunder—through the stories of families who have strived to earn and keep the fruits of their toils. Their struggles reveal that the ever-evolving strategies to strip Black income and wealth have been critical to sustaining a structure of racialized disadvantage. These accounts also tell of the quiet heroism of those who worked to overcome obstacles and defy the plunder.  From the story of Anthony and Mary Johnson, abducted from Angola and brought to Virginia in 1619, to the enslaved Black workers dispossessed by the Custis-Washington family, to Venture Smith (born Broteer Furro), who purchased his freedom, to three generations of a family enslaved in the South who moved north after Emancipation, to the Tulsa massacre and the subprime ...

Exploring over a century of Zimbabwe''s colonial and post-colonial history, Elijah Doro investigates the murky and noxious history of that powerful crop: tobacco. In a compelling narrative that debunks previous histories glorifying tobacco farming, Doro reveals the indelible marks that tobacco left on landscapes, communities, and people. Demonstrating that the history of tobacco farming is inseparable from that of colonial encounter, Doro outlines how tobacco became an institutionalised culture of production, which was linked to state power and natural ecosystems, and driven by a pernicious heritage of unbridled plunder. With the destruction of landscapes, the negative impacts of the export trade and the growing tobacco epidemic in Zimbabwe, tobacco farming has a long and varied legacy in southern African and across the world. Connecting the local to the global, and the environmental to the social, this book illuminates our understandings of environmental history, colonialism and sustainability.

Her work has long spanned intersectional analyses of gender, race and class...she repeatedly questions which things society pays attention to and which we consider insignificant. She is an inspiration.' Laura Bates'A triumph' Chatham HouseTwelve Feminist Lessons of War draws on sharp insights of women as survivors, activists and scholars from Ukraine to Sudan and Myanmar to show how diverse women's experiences of war must be taken seriously if we are to prevent and shorten wars and make gender justice central to recovering from wars.Women's wars are not men's wars. Wartime shapes the gendered politics of marriage, prostitution, journalism, economics, childcare, domestic violence and rape. Enloe's razor-sharp analysis highlights how understanding this can prevent wars and even end them.With fresh, fierce and vital thinking, she shows that by paying more attention to the wounded and the women who care for them, we will be more realistic about the long 'post-war'; and that by listening to feminists on the ground, in Ukraine and elsewhere, we will better understand what is happening to our world.Cynthia is one of only 100 women named on the Gender Justice Wall in The Hague.

Satisfying moments are captured in odes to Idris ElbaÂ’s dulcet tones on a meditation app and the satisfaction of half-priced EntenmannÂ’s poundcake; in childlike observations of parental Black love, the coveted female form on Jet Magazine covers, and the desire for Zamunda to be a real place full of Black joy.

Mystické křesťanství. Náročný, avšak neuvěřitelně hluboký text, jehož každé slovo, je-li správně pochopeno, míří k cíli, který je skryt přímo v nás.Cynthia Bourgeault, autorka bestsellerů The Wisdom Jesus a The Meaning of Mary Magdalene, se v této knize vrací ke svému nejoblíbenějšímu tématu: k neduálnímu vědomí a jeho esenciálnímu vztahu ke křesťanské tradici.Nedualita a křesťanství – cože? Nedualita neboli vnímání stavu, v němž není rozdílu mezi já, ty a Bohem, je zkušenost, o níž hovoří křesťanští mystici už celá staletí.Mezi velkým počtem knih o kontemplativní modlitbě je kniha Cynthie Bourgeault naprosto výjimečná: míří do mnohem větší hloubky, než bylo doposud obvyklé, a prezentuje kontemplativní modlitbu jako cestu k neduálnímu vědomí. Vstupuje proto na teoreticky i teologicky náročnější terén, než s jakým pracují jiné knihy pojednávající o kontemplativní modlitbě (včetně jejího vlastního předchozího titulu Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening). Ve svých tvrzeních se opírá o Bibli, o učení starých církevních otců a zejména o křesťanskou kontemplativní tradici. Ve fascinující třetí části knihy analyzuje klasické dílo středověké křesťanské mystiky, Oblak nevědění, který se, jako většina mystických textů, v konečném důsledku otevírá jen tomu, kdo se nachází na stejné duchovní úrovni, ze které byl napsán.Při kontemplativní modlitbě, během oněch nanosekundových přestávek v proudu ...

Království nebeské je Ježíšovou metaforou neduálního vědomí; není to místo, ke kterému jdete, ale místo, odkud přicházíte. Je ve vás - to znamená zde a nyní; nepřijde někdy později - je to subtilní kvalita zkušenosti, jež je vám přístupná přímo v tomto momentu. Neumřete do ní; probudíte se do ní. Pokud odložíte stranou to, co si myslíte, že víte o Ježíši, a přistoupíte k evangeliím jako byste je četli poprvé, stane se něco pozoruhodného: Ježíš z nich vystoupí jako učitel transformace vědomí. Cynthia Bourgeaultová je mistrovským průvodcem k Ježíšově vizi a k tradičním kontemplativním praktikám, díky nimž sami pocítíte srdce Ježíšova učení. Ježíš, živoucí mistr, je skutečný, je naživu, a důvěrným a pulzujícím způsobem vás v této chvíli a po všechny časy drží v náruči. Ve skutečnosti je více přítomný a více skutečný než váš vlastní dech a tlukot vašeho srdce. Ovšem abyste tuto přítomnost doopravdy poznali, je potřeba, abyste se posunuli na jinou vlnovou délku: z vašeho běžného binárního operačního systému s jeho typickým "buď/a nebo" musíte přeladit na živý přenos - na frekvenci neduálního vědění srdce: jen to vás spojí s Ježíšem.

Here we encounter a writer deeply engaged with narrative in situ – a traveller moving through beloved streets, sometimes accompanied, sometimes solo. With her we see anew the Venice Biennale, the Lagoon and San Michele, the island of the dead; the Piazza di Spagna, the Tiber, the view from the Gianicolo; the pigeons at San Marco and the parrots in the Doria Pamphili. Zarin’s attention to the smallest details, the loveliest gesture, brings Venice, Rome, Assisi and Santa Maria Maggiore vividly to life for the reader.
