Roy Bolton
A Brief History of Painting: 2000 BC to AD 2000

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionPainting moves out of the soft glow of the gallery into the fresh, sometimes revisionary light of the twenty-first century in this authoritative and engaging history of art from ancient days to modern times. Insightfully, it explores the links to tradition and the breaks with artistic heritage. With a contemporary eye it looks again at the apogees in painting`s history and revisits those moments on canvas, on paper, or plaster that altered forever the direction of the art. With an extended and lively introduction by the award-winning art historian and best-selling author Matthew Collings and text by art historian Roy Bolton, this chronicle illuminates where painting has been in the past four thousand years and where it may be going in thefuture. Each of the book`s 150 illustrations, beautifully reproduced in full color, is accompanied by terse and incisive commentary on both the subject of the painting and its artist. Each illustration, too, marks a significant point… [detailed...]

A Brief History of Theatre

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What`s the best way to learn about the different periods in theatre history? By example, of course! In `A Brief History of Theatre,` the audience is taken on a tour of theatre history by presenting (almost) the same story in three styles: Ancient Greek, Elizabethan, and Modern Musical. The fourth wall is irreparably broken as two Announcers introduce and comment on three separate (yet inseparable) plays: `Four Against a Serpent,` `All`s Well That`s Dressed in Armor,` and `Sammy &, Kate.` Designed for flexible casting, the show has twenty-three speaking roles (not counting the Greek Chorus) and room for plenty of extras, but can be performed with as few as nine actors of any gender.

Miranda Seymour
A Brief History of Thyme and Other Herbs (An Evergreen book)

2003 y.
Publisher: Grove Press
Description: A compendium of herbs from A to Z, this elegant book pairs Miranda Seymour`s insightful essays on herbs with Jane Macfarlane`s expertly rendered two-color illustrations. Each piece covers a single herb -- from comfrey, angelica, or woad (three of Miranda`s favorites) to the more familiar parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme -- and describes each herb`s characteristics, the history of its use, and the myths and beliefs attached to it. The results are often useful, always fascinating, and occasionally very strange. Discover what Homer`s Greeks used as sleeping potions and what the Romans took for indigestion, why Henry VIII fined any farmer who refused to grow marijuana, and which herb the seventy-two-year-old queen of Hungary used to extracta proposal from the king of Poland. You can learn which herb is used today to counter chemotherapy`s detrimental effects, or the one you can use as shampoo, or to lower your blood pressure, or to stimulate an appetite. A multitude of entertaining… [detailed...]

Bart D. Ehrman
A Brief Introduction to the New Testament

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A Brief Introduction to the New Testament is a concise and more pedagogical version of Bart D. Ehrman`s best-selling The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings, 3/e. Retaining the approach of the longer textbook while condensing and simplifying much of its material, this volume looks at the New Testament from a consistently historical and comparative perspective and emphasizes the rich diversity of the earliest Christian literature. Rather than shying away from the critical problems presented by these books, Ehrman addresses the historical and literary challenges they pose. He shows why scholars continue to argue over such significant issues as how the books of the New Testament came into being, what they mean, and how they relate to contemporary Christian and non-Christian literature. Distinctive to this study is its emphasis on the historical, literary, and religious milieu of the Greco-Roman world, including early Judaism. … [detailed...]

Now, after celebrating his eightieth birthday, he looks back on a life engaged in the forging a Christian response to the tumult and opportunities of our age. In his autobiography Moltmann tell his engaging and searching life story, from his Hamburg youth in an unconventional parental home up to the `incompleteness` of the present moment.

But Marian, who like many of her sex seemed to consort naturally with banshees, bogies, apparitions, and the like, declared to me that at several different times this ghost had presented itself to her, startling her on two occasions. On the second occasion, she fled along the kitchen hall, shrieking piteously. The phantom was clad all in a livid blue flame from top to toe, she said, and a banner of red sarcenet that streamed out behind like forked lightning. This malevolent spirit had struck her with its blazing hand. I had not seen, and like the Lady of the house, did not believe. But in the hours still to come we would learn the folly of our doubt . . . [detailed...]

2007 y.
Publisher: Exposure Publishing
Description: When the blue line appeared on the pregnancy test it was the scariest moment of Peter Naldrett`s life. Even though the whole thing had been planned for months, it still made him want to move to Mongolia and bury his head in the sand in a desperate attempt to deny it was happening. An extra mouth to feed and the prospect of not sleeping for a few years was suddenly the most frightening thing in the world. Happily, things didn`t turn out as bad as first thought and his pregnancy experience had just as many thrills as it did anxieties. Throughout the highs and lows of his life`s strangest nine months, Peter kept a diary of his experiences and shares all in this emotive, informative and comical account. Whether you already have kids or are expecting some any time soon, there is something in this fatherly account that will strike a chord.
