  Today, art theft is one of the most profitable criminal enterprises in the world, exceeding $6 billion in losses to galleries and art collectors annually. And the masterpieces of Rembrandt van Rijn are some of the most frequently targeted. 
   
   
   
  In Stealing Rembrandts, art security expert Anthony M. Amore and award-winning investigative reporter Tom Mashberg reveal the actors behind the major Rembrandt heists in the last century. Through thefts around the world—from Stockholm to Boston, Worcester to Ohio—the authors track daring entries and escapes from the world's most renowned museums. There are robbers who coolly walk off with multimillion dollar paintings; self-styled art experts who fall in love with the Dutch master and desire to own his art at all costs; and international criminal masterminds who don't hesitate to resort to violence. They also show how museums are thwarted in their ability to pursue the thieves—even going so far as to conduct investigations on their own, far away from the maddening crowd of police intervention, sparing no expense to save the priceless masterpieces. 
   
   
   
  Stealing Rembrandts is an exhilarating, one-of-a-kind look at the black market of art theft, and how it compromises some of the greatest treasures the world has ever known.

  Kama Sutra - The Way Of Love

  Vatsyayana

  • 0

  This ancient philosophical work by Vātsyāyana is far more than a manual of physical intimacy—it is a guide to living with balance, awareness, and harmony between desire, duty, and spiritual life. Rooted in classical Indian thought, it presents love as one essential part of a complete human life, alongside moral responsibility, social conduct, and personal growth. Desire is not treated as shameful or reckless, but as a force that must be understood with discipline, respect, and wisdom. 
  Throughout its teachings, relationships are shown as complex bonds shaped by trust, communication, timing, and emotional intelligence. Love is linked to patience, self-control, generosity, and mutual understanding rather than impulse alone. The text carefully explores how attraction begins, how affection deepens, and how harmony can be maintained within long-term partnership and society. 
  Through calm observation and structured reflection, Vātsyāyana presents a vision of human connection that is thoughtful, balanced, and deeply rooted in ethics. The Kama Sutra stands as one of the world’s oldest works on relationships, revealing how ancient cultures understood love not as indulgence, but as a refined art requiring responsibility, sensitivity, and inner awareness.

  Bold Ventures - Thirteen Tales...

  A prize-winning Belgian poet explores the nature of creative endeavor—the godlike ambition, the crushing defeat of failure—through the stories of thirteen tragic architects. 
   
   
   
  In thirteen fascinating chapters, Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal to their architects—architects who either killed themselves or are rumored to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire in seventeenth-century France to a theater that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC, and an eerily sinking swimming pool in the author's hometown. Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Darwin to art history, stories from her own life, and popular culture, Van den Broeck brings patterns into focus as she asks, What is that strange, life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator? 
   
   
   
  Threaded through each story is the author's meditation on the question of suicide—what Albert Camus called the "one truly serious philosophical problem"—in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking ground in literary nonfiction, as well as providing solace and consolation to anyone who has ever attempted a creative act.
