2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Da Vinci Code is a modern-day publishing phenomenon. With millions of copies in print, it is the most popular adult novel of the 21st Century. In an introductory note, author Dan Brown tells us that `all descriptions of documents and secret rituals . . . are accurate.` But are they? Many scholars and theologians have attacked the book and the `facts` on which it is based. Some claim that Brown is anti-Catholic. Book clubs, reading groups, dedicated web-sites and countless reviews and articles in magazines and newspapers worldwide have fueled the fire, making Da Vinci Code not only the most successful book of its kind ever, but also the most controversial. Now Martin Lunn, an expert historian, reveals the truth behind Dan Brown`s research. The reality of Catholic offshoot Opus Dei . . . the hard facts about the bloodline of Christ and King David . . . the origins of the Knights Templar and the infamous Priory of Sion . . . the secrets of Temple Church and Rosslyn… [detailed...]

Da Vinci`s Kitchen: A Secret History of Italian Cuisine

2007 y.
Publisher: Benbella Books
Description: Though it seems the title of this book is a bid to profit by association with a certain global bestseller-the topic of `Leonardo`s Larder` takes up just one chapter-it`s easy to forgive this well-researched history, a fascinating look into the eating habits of 15th and 16th-century Italy. Delving into formal feasts, foreign crops and the Arabic influence on Italian cooking, Dewitt (The Chile Pepper Encyclopedia) also includes chapters on `The First Superstar Chefs` and what your seat says about you: `honored guests were seated with their backs to the fire … it was an exercise in social standing … governed by strict protocol.` The author liberally quotes Renaissance food authorities like Platina, an early librarian at the Vatican who wrote what is likely the first printed cookbook. He also references modern food scholars like Waverly Root and Odile Redon, and includes historical recipes for Renaissance favorites like Risi e Bisi and Spinach Soup with Hazelnuts.

Description: Book Description Mancow Muller is the creator, writer, and ringmaster of what has been called the `funniest, fastest-moving, and most diverse radio show in history,` Mancow`s Morning Madhouse, syndicated nationally from Chicago. And now, in his first audio book, he rushes headlong into an adventure cross-dressed as a memoir. When Mancow loses his dad to cancer, he has a meltdown, spiraling down Freedom Road on a nonstop death ride: racing the autobahn at breakneck speeds, narrowly escaping a visit to Castro`s Cuba, suffering a near-fatal nervous breakdown, and cavorting under dog piles of women. All of these adventures send him on a mind trip through his past, questioning everything. `Do we already live in a police state?` Finding his soul again, he discovers a strange new freedom that only members of The Dead Dad`s Club can understand. In this, his first humble masterpiece, Mancow makes you laugh, makes you think, makes you feel and takes you on a journey that… [detailed...]

Tom Sandqvist
Dada East: The Romanians of Cabaret Voltaire

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Dada -- perhaps the most famous and outrageous of modernism`s artistic movements -- is said to have begun at the Cabaret Voltaire, a literary evening staged at the restaurant Meierei in Zurich on February 5, 1916. The evening featured stamping, roaring, banging on the lids of pots and pans, and the recitation of incomprehensible `poemes simultanes` Thus a global revolution in art and culture was born in a Swiss restaurant. Or was it? In Dada East , Tom Sandqvist shows that Dada did not spring full-grown from a Zurich literary salon but grew out of an already vibrant artistic tradition in Eastern Europe -- particularly Romania -- that was transposed to Switzerland when a group of Romanian modernists settled in Zurich. Bucharest and other cities in Romania had been the scene of Dada-like poetry, prose, and spectacle in the years before World War I. One of the leading lights was Tristan Tzara, who began his career in avant-garde literature at fifteen when he cofounded… [detailed...]

Dada: Zurich, Berlin, Hanover, Cologne, New York, Paris

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Along with Russian constructivism and surrealism, Dada stands as one of the three most significant movements of the historical avant-garde. Born in the heart of Europe in the midst of World War I, Dada displayed a raucous skepticism about accepted values. Its embrace of new materials, of collage and assemblage techniques, of the designation of manufactured objects as art objects as well as its interest in performance, sound poetry, and manifestos fundamentally shaped the terms of modern art practice and created an abiding legacy for postwar art. Yet, while the word Dada has common currency, few know much about Dada art itself. In contrast to other key avant-garde movements, there has never been a major American exhibition that explores Dada specifically in broad view. Dada --the catalogue to the exhibition on view in 2006 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington and The Museum of Modern Art in New York presents the hybrid forms of Dada art through an examination of city… [detailed...]

Emerging from the artistic milieu of Zurich during World War I, it signaled a re-evaluation of art`s place in the shadow of industrialized war. Jean Arp, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray were among the most famous proponents of Dada, creating works that dared viewers to expand their notions of what can be considered art. [detailed...]

Description: Daddy King is that rare American iconic hero who has never been captured in a biography worthy of his stature as one of America s greatest civil rights activists. Now, at last, here is an inside view of the preacher, teacher and …Dad. More than a fascinating account of his life and times, Murray M. Silver s Daddy King and Me rewrites the history of the first family of the civil rights movement, with Daddy King as the lead personality.

With an artist wife and two kids–a daughter, Poppy, and a son, London–Robert Wilder considers himself as open-minded as the next man. Yet even he finds himself parentally challenged when his toddler son, London, careens around the house in the buff or asks the kind of outrageous, embarrassing questions only a kid can ask.
