Sinopse

In "Lincoln in Caricature," Rufus Rockwell Wilson presents a compelling exploration of the satirical artistry surrounding one of America'Äôs most revered figures, Abraham Lincoln. Combining detailed illustrations with incisive commentary, Wilson delves into the intricate world of caricatures that emerged during Lincoln's presidency, highlighting how these visual representations both reflected and influenced public perception. The book stands out for its meticulous analysis of the interplay between art and politics, offering an engaging narrative that captures the zeitgeist of 19th-century America while preserving the playful yet critical spirit inherent in caricature as a form of social commentary. Rufus Rockwell Wilson, an esteemed art historian and critic, was profoundly influenced by the role of art in shaping political narratives. His extensive study of visual culture, particularly during pivotal historical moments, fuels his investigation into Lincoln's image, making the text not only a historical document but also a scholarly critique of the period's socio-political dynamics. Wilson'Äôs background in both journalism and art history provides a unique lens through which he examines how caricatures served to both bolster and challenge Lincoln'Äôs legacy. This insightful book is a must-read for anyone interested in art, history, and the ways in which visual media can reflect and sculpt public sentiment. Wilson'Äôs engaging prose, combined with an impressive array of illustrations, renders "Lincoln in Caricature" an essential addition to both academic and casual libraries, appealing to those who wish to grasp the complex portrait of Lincoln beyond the conventional narrative.

    A violinist sees a scarlet form when he plays a certain note; a rock star sees waves of blue and green as he composes a ballad; an actress tastes cake when she utters the word "table." Described by some as a superpower this mingling of the senses is called "synesthesia," and the people who possess this amazing gift are called "synesthetes." 
     
     
      
    What happens when a journalist turns her lens on a mystery happening in her own life? Maureen Seaberg did just that and lived for a year exploring her synesthesia. The wondrous brain trait is often described as blended senses, but for Maureen, synesthesia is not an idle "brain tick" that can be explained away by science (although it does offer some important clues). It is a unique ability to tap into and reveal a greater creative universe and even the divine. 
     
     
     
    Join her as she visits top neuroscientists, rock stars, violinists, other synesthetes, philosophers, savants, quantum physicists, and even Tibetan lamas in her journey toward the truth. 
     
     
     
    Step into Maureen's shimmering alternate universe as she explores this fascinating subject, combining clear explanations of groundbreaking scientific research with an exploration of deeper understanding of our senses.

    Across the globe there are tales of giants. Ancient, wise and enigmatic. What were they? Are they humans? Men of renown from forgotten times? Are they some kind of genetic ancestor to humanity? Or is there another truth? 
     
    The tales tell us they fell to Earth with special knowledge and held dominion over mankind. They were different to humans, lived for thousands of years and had a special knowledge of the heavens. They can be found in all cultures and religions. These special creatures were aliens from another world who came in ancient times. They genetically manipulated mankind and fought great battles.

    A Times Best Book of Summer 2023 
    *Shortlisted for the Parliamentary Book Awards* 
    An astonishing investigation into the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war – from the corridors of the Kremlin to the trenches of Mariupol. 
    The Russo-Ukrainian War is the most serious geopolitical crisis since the Second World War – and yet at the heart of the conflict is a mystery. Vladimir Putin apparently lurched from a calculating, subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime – and Russia itself – at risk of destruction. Why? 
    Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as a correspondent in Moscow, as well as his own family ties to Russia and Ukraine, journalist Owen Matthews takes us through the poisoned historical roots of the conflict, into the Covid bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of paranoia about Western threats, and finally into the inner circle around Ukrainian president and unexpected war hero Volodimir Zelensky. 
    Using the accounts of current and former insiders from the Kremlin and its propaganda machine, the testimony of captured Russian soldiers and on-the-ground reporting from Russia and Ukraine, Overreach tells the story not only of the war’s causes but how the first six months unfolded. 
    With its panoramic view, Overreach is an authoritative, unmissable record of a conflict that shocked Europe to its core. 
    In Overreach, Owen Matthews masterfully unravels the complex tapestry of history, geopolitics, and conflicts that have defined the Soviet Union. This top-tier work is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the wars and crimes that have shaped our world. 
    For fans of Simon Scarrow (The Honour of Rome), Antony Beevor (Russia), Bill Browder (Orden de embargo. Una historia real de blanqueo de dinero, asesinatos y...), Mark Galeotti (Russia’s Wars in Chechnya), and Robert Peston (WTF?).
