Benin: Royal Arts of a West African Kingdom (Art Institute of Chicago)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the late 15th century, the Kingdom of Benin (located in present-day southwestern Nigeria) established a mercantile relationship with Portugal, significantly increasing its wealth and might. Benin became a regional powerhouse and, under a long lineage of divine rulers, or obas, it wielded great economic and political influence. The obas also supported guilds of artists—chief among them brass casters and ivory carvers—whom they employed to produce objects that honored royal ancestors, recorded history, and glorified life at court. The sophisticated creations of Benin’s royal artists stand among the greatest works of African art. This stunning book features a selection of Benin’s extraordinary artworks that range from finely cast bronze figures, altar heads, and wall plaques to ivory tusks, pendants, and arm cuffs embellished in detailed bas relief. An insightful essay outlines the kingdom’s history and sheds light on these masterworks by describing their production and function in… [detailed...]

Benjamin Franklin, Genius of Kites, Flights and Voting Rights

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis unconventional biography of Benjamin Franklin, the great American Renaissance man, explores examples of Franklin?s diverse genius and accomplishments in different fields. Among the topics explored are Franklin?s views on women?s issues, such as disapproving of impractical hoopskirts, supporting their education, and suggesting insurance for widows and spinsters. It describes his love of a good hoax, contributions to ballooning while an ambassador in France, experiments with the famous kite, and advances in heating houses. His work with money is also covered, including methods of printing money to confuse counterfeiters, a revolutionary way of making a print of a real leaf, and his updated portrait on the present $100 bill. Franklin?s role as head of a commission to examine (and debunk) mesmerism is addressed. No stranger to controversy, Franklin headed the first successful attempt to unify the colonies to create a country. This… [detailed...]

Benjamin Franklin`s the `Way to Wealth` (Other Brilliant Books)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The first American book on personal finance, `The Way to Wealth` by Benjamin Franklin is still the best and wisest money book ever written. Originally published in 1758 as the preface to `Poor Richard`s Almanack,` this little gem has been through innumerable printings and sold millions of copies to those in search of smart but entertaining advice about hard work, earning and saving money and debt. As the 21st Century charges along and the current economic climate continues to send out mixed messages, Franklin`s simple but wise commentary on the value of industry and frugality resonates as much for us today as it did for listeners nearly 350 years ago. Here is a sample: - `Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.` - `If you would be wealthy, think of saving, as well as of getting.` - `If you would have your business done, go, if not, send.` - `Think what you do when you run into debt, you give to another power over your liberty.` - `Creditors have better… [detailed...]

Benjamin Harrison : [The 23rd President 1889-1893] (The American Presidents)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The scion of a political dynasty ushers in the era of big government Politics was in Benjamin Harrison`s blood. His great-grandfather signed the Declaration and his grandfather, William Henry Harrison, was the ninth president of the United States. Harrison, a leading Indiana lawyer, became a Republican Party champion, even taking a leave from the Civil War to campaign for Lincoln. After a scandal-free term in the Senate-no small feat in the Gilded Age-the Republicans chose Harrison as their presidential candidate in 1888. Despite losing the popular vote, he trounced the incumbent, Grover Cleveland, in the electoral college. In contrast to standard histories, which dismiss Harrison`s presidency as corrupt and inactive, Charles W. Calhoun sweeps away the stereotypes of the age to reveal the accomplishments of our twenty-third president. With Congress under Republican control, he exemplified the activist president, working feverishly to put the… [detailed...]

Benvenuto Cellini : Sexuality, Masculinity, and Artistic Identity in Renaissance Italy

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Celebrated goldsmith and sculptor of the Italian Renaissance, Benvenuto Cellini (1500-71) fits the conventional image of a Renaissance man: a skillful virtuoso and courtier, an artist who worked in marble, bronze, and gold, and a writer and poet. However, in his life and literary oeuvre the notorious artist, rogue, and sodomite aligned himself with the transgressive and oppositional voices of his day. This book, the first biographical study of Cellini available in English, uses the methodologies of New Historicism, social history, and gender and sexuality studies to place the artist and his cultural production in the context of contemporary discourses about sexuality, law, magic, masculinity, and honor.
