From a foremost expert on the science of emotions, a ground-breaking exploration into the history, psychology and meaning of aweSocial psychologist Dacher Keltner has spent his career speaking to different groups of people, from schoolchildren to prisoners to healthcare workers, about the good life. These conversations and his pioneering research into the science of emotion have convinced him that happiness comes down to one thing: finding awe.Awe allows us to collaborate with others, open our minds to wonder, and see the deep patterns of life. In his new book, Keltner presents a radical investigation into this elusive emotion. Drawing on his own scientific research into how awe transforms our brains and bodies, alongside an examination of awe across history, culture and within his own life during a period of immense grief, Keltner shows us how cultivating wonder leads us to appreciate what is most humane in our human nature. The book includes intensely moving, deeply personal stories of awe from people all over the world - doctors and veterans, environmentalists and filmmakers, indigenous scholars and hospice workers, ministers and midwives, poets and prisoners.At turns radical and profound, Awe is our field guide for how to uncover everyday wonder as a vital force within our lives.

Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice. Unsure if Diesel is her partner or her competition in this case, she’ll need to watch her back every step of the way as she sets the stage to draw Wednesday out from behind his computer and into the real world.

In the late 1910s, in a Europe ravaged by World War I, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen put the finishing touches on his illustrations of A Thousand and One Nights. The results are considered masterpieces of early 20th-century illustration: bursting with sumptuous colors of deep blues, reds, and gold leaf, and evoking all the magic of this legendary collection of Indo-Persian and Arabic folktales, compiled between the 8th and 13th centuries.However, publishers retreated from Nielsen's project in the financially strapped postwar climate, and the publication never happened. A rising star, Nielsen moved on to other work. This world heritage classic's spectacular pen, ink, and watercolor images remained under lock and key for 40 years. Published just once in the 1970s, the illustrations were rescued from oblivion after Nielsen's death in 1957 and are now held by the UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in two private collections.This publication is a unique compilation of fine art prints and stunning illustrations reproduced directly from Nielsen's original watercolors-the only complete set of his extraordinary drawings to have survived. The book features descriptions of all of the images and three generously illustrated essays on the making of this series, the origin of Nielsen's unique imagery, and a history of the tales. In addition, it shows many unpublished or rarely seen artworks by Nielsen and intricate black-and-white drawings Nielsen created for the original publication.

Edición a cargo de David García Cueto, comisario de la exposición y conservador de Pintura Italiana y Francesa hasta 1800 del Museo del Prado. Inglés. Rústica. 24 x 30 cm. 448 páginas.Publicado con motivo de la exposición Guido Reni, celebrada en el Museo Nacional del Prado entre el 28 de marzo y el 9 de julio de 2023.Guido Reni (1575-1642) fue uno de los artistas más destacados en la Europa de su tiempo, llegando su fama al nivel de la que alcanzaron Rubens, Caravaggio o Bernini. Desde su Bolonia natal, su obra se difundió no solo por buena parte de Italia, sino que también alcanzó algunas de las principales capitales del continente, como París, Londres o Madrid. En efecto, España no permaneció ajena al interés por las creaciones del maestro boloñés, coleccionadas tanto por la corona como por algunos de los más destacados miembros de la aristocracia y que, en varios casos, acabaron en los fondos del Museo Nacional del Prado. Además, a la vista de sus obras, ciertos artistas hispanos decidieron enriquecer su propio lenguaje con la evocación de las propuestas de Reni, entre ellos varios pintores de especial relevancia, como Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.Este catálogo pone de manifiesto la actualidad del legado de Guido Reni. Cuenta con nueve ensayos, a cargo de otros tantos autores internacionales, y se centra en su obra y su técnica, así como en el contexto en el que destacó en la Bolonia y Roma de su época y en particular en su relación con España durante el siglo de Oro. Además, analiza y reproduce casi cien obras de Reni y otros artistas entre pinturas, dibujos y esculturas.

A clear and eloquent leading translation of the Roman emperor’s reflections of human life and death, timeless Stoic philosophy that inspires countless others including The Daily Stoic author Ryan Holiday to use philosophy as a tool for self-improvement and resilience to live a better lifeWritten in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and the values of leadership. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years.To provide a full understanding of Aurelius's seminal work, this edition includes explanatory notes, a general index, an index of quotations, an index of names, and an introduction by Diskin Clay putting the work in its biographical, historical, and literary context, a chronology of Marcus Aurelius's life and career.Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

''Omen'' reexamina el archivo fotográfico de la Farm Security Administration, revelando un relato menos conocido que cuestiona las perspectivas tradicionales de la historia estadounidense. La secuencia visual de este libro desafía las normas al recortar de manera creativa imágenes de los archivos de la Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York.Lucy Ives, la aclamada escritora y poetisa estadounidense, ha escrito con maestría el cautivador texto de Omen. Ives se ha consolidado como una de las principales voces del mundo literario contemporáneo, con numerosas publicaciones aclamadas por la crítica.Persiguiendo al fantasma, las huellas del olvido y los ecos de lo que fue y ya no es, Omen representa una es una revisión y recontextualización de una parte del archivo fotográfico de la Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) alojado en la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York. Este programa destacó como uno de los hitos de la fotografía documental moderna y desempeñó un papel fundamental en la construcción de una narrativa hegemónica -principalmente en torno al triunfo contra la adversidad, la división y la catástrofe- de la historia reciente de los Estados Unidos y su orden social. Pero enfatizando la mirada sobre ese monumental conjunto de imágenes y explorando las esquinas de los cuadros, los fondos y los detalles-en los personajes secundarios, en lo que no debería estar, en lo que aparece por casualidad, accidente o error-es posible descubrir una narrativa diferente: una más espesa, turbia, turbulenta, compleja, contemporánea y contradictoria. Como un estallido y un ápice: una premonición de la continuidad genealógica de las múltiples violencias sistémicas, tumultuosas, visibles e invisibles, atronadoras y silenciosas que dan forma al rostro de la sociedad estadounidense.El libro funciona simultáneamente como un reflejo de la angustiosa realidad de los Estados Unidos en nuestros días y como un instrumento de reflexión sobre la forma en que se interpreta y comprende la fotografía histórica y documental.

The definitive volume on Gaetano Pesce’s incomparable life and career, as told in the artist-designer’s own wordsIn a category all his own, Gaetano Pesce is widely considered one of the most important, and elusive, creative figures of the last half century. Bridging numerous key art and design movements, while never belonging to any of them, Pesce’s singular practice has remained steadfastly provocative, defying convention, utility, and good taste.Glenn Adamson, the acclaimed curator and writer, conducted the wide-ranging interview with Pesce on which this book is based, drawing out new stories and insights, as well as providing an introduction that thoroughly contextualizes Pesce’s unique position in contemporary art and design. As postmodern design has become increasingly desirable, interest in Pesce has grown with renewed exhibition activity and critical attention, and his work has become even more valuable and collectible.In this long overdue summary co-published with Salon 94, Pesce looks back at his incomparable and wildly inventive career, recounting his life and practice in his own words.

A reclamation of essential history and a hopeful gesture toward a better political future, this is what listening to Black women looks like —from a professor of political science and columnist for Teen Vogue.This is my offering. My love letter to them, and to us.Jenn M. Jackson, PhD, has been known to bring historical acuity to some of the most controversial topics in America today. Now, in their first book, Jackson applies their critical analysis to the questions that have long energized their Why has Black women’s freedom fighting been so overlooked throughout history, and what has our society lost because of our refusal to engage with our forestrugglers’ lessons?A love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten, this collection repositions Black women’s intellectual and political work at the center of today’s liberation movements.Across eleven original essays that explore the legacy of Black women writers and leaders—from Harriet Jacobs and Ida B. Wells to the Combahee River Collective and Audre Lorde—Jackson sets the record straight about Black women’s longtime movement organizing, theorizing, and coalition building in the name of racial, gender, and sexual justice in the United States and abroad. These essays show, in both critical and deeply personal terms, how Black women have been at the center of modern liberation movements despite the erasure and misrecognition of their efforts. Jackson illustrates how Black women have frequently done the work of liberation at great risk to their lives and livelihoods.For a new generation of movement organizers and co-strugglers, Black Women Taught Us serves as a reminder that Black women were the first ones to teach us how to fight racism, how to name that fight, and how to imagine a more just world for everyone.
