Summary

This book tells the story of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, based on a pedagogical approach, in order to present information accessibly, even for those who do not have a background in History or History of Art. On the other hand, the book brings well-documented information, based on testimonials of some of the most renowned researchers who have studied the subject.
Before addressing the subject of the book, the author presents the stories of the first three portraits painted by Leonardo Da Vinci: the portrait of Ginevra de’ Benci; the portrait known as The lady with an Ermine and the portrait of La Belle Ferronnière, aiming to use these three paintings to observe Leonardo’s evolving creative process in portrait painting (non-religious paintings), before painting his iconic Mona Lisa, which is thoroughly analyzed in many aspects.

    Edited By: Parmjeet Singh Gazi, Ravinderpal Singh 
    Khalsa But Na Maane Koi Part- 2 is a thoughtful and important book that explains why idol worship is not allowed in Sikhism.

    Khalsa But Na Maane Koi Part- 2 gives answers to new ideas that try to bring idol worship into the Sikh community. The writers use strong examples from Sikh scriptures and history to explain why such practices go against Sikh beliefs. The book is edited by Parmjeet Singh Gazi and Ravinderpal Singh, who have carefully chosen articles that are full of useful information and references. 
    The main message of this book is to stay true to Sikh values and to avoid any practice that changes the original path shown by the Gurus. The book helps readers understand the difference between true Sikh practice and ideas that have come from outside.If you want to learn more about Sikh beliefs or understand why idol worship is not part of Sikhism, this book is a great book to read. It is simple, clear, and based on facts. Get your copy and reconnect with the true teachings of Sikhism.

    “An incisive, readable account of a group of National Guard tankers who fought in the Philippines in the opening phase of America’s war in the Pacific.” —Robert S. Cameron, Ph.D., military historian and author of Mobility, Shock, and Firepower: The Emergence of the U.S. Army’s Armor Branch, 1917-1945   The American Provisional Tank Group had been in the Philippines only three weeks when the Japanese attacked the islands hours after the raid on Pearl Harbor. Sent north to meet the Japanese landings in Lingayen Gulf, the men of the PTG found themselves thrust into a critical role when the Philippine Army could not hold back the Japanese. When General MacArthur ordered the retreat to Bataan, the PTG proved itself indispensable. During early months of 1942, the light tanks of the PTG patrolled Bataan’s beaches, encircling and destroying Japanese penetrations and small amphibious landings. By April 1942, the situation had become untenable, and 15,000 Americans, along with 60,000 Filipinos, surrendered in one of the worst defeats in U.S. military history. The Provisional Tank Group ceased to exist, and its men endured the Bataan Death March, the torture and starvation of POW camps, the hell ships that took them to Japan and Manchuria for slave labor, and the Palawan massacre.  In an evocatively written book, Donald L. Caldwell reveals the largely ignored role of tanks in the Philippine campaign. Conducting impressive primary research to bring to life the combat history of the PTG, Caldwell has dug deeper to tell the stories of soldiers from each of the group’s six companies, recounting their service from enlistment, training, and combat to imprisonment, liberation, and return home.    “Remarkable . . . [A] well-told history . . . highly recommended.” —Jay A. Stout, LtCol (Ret), USMC, author of Air Apaches
