Synopsis

Wood Sculptures explores the compelling history and cultural significance of wood as a sculpting material across diverse cultures and artistic movements. The book reveals how sculptors have transformed this readily available, renewable resource into powerful artistic expressions, reflecting spiritual beliefs and aesthetic ideals. For example, wood's unique properties allow for techniques like carving and joinery, showcasing the intimate connection between the sculptor and the material.Highlighting often overlooked non-Western traditions, the book challenges conventional art hierarchies, emphasizing wood's vital role in human creativity and cultural identity.The book progresses chronologically and thematically, starting with the properties of different wood types and sculpting techniques. It then examines wood sculpture in cultural contexts, such as African tribal art and Polynesian carvings, before exploring its evolution in Western art from the medieval period to contemporary installations.A unique aspect of Wood Sculptures is its holistic approach, considering not only the aesthetic qualities but also the cultural, social, and environmental contexts. The book also touches upon the challenges and opportunities facing wood sculptors today, including sustainable practices and new technologies.

    Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett was born into a very unusual situation in 1878. He was the eldest scion of a family that had lived in the oldest castle in Ireland since its construction in 1180 CE, and became the 18th Baron Dunsany in 1899 at the age of 21, when his father passed away. He was a soldier, lord, military trainer, propaganda writer, activist, and invented Dunsany’s Chess, in which one player has four ranks of pawns and no other pieces. He published mostly first drafts, writing short stories, fantasy novels, plays, and poems, with over 90 publications in his lifetime. A horseman, hunter and pistol champion whose family and friends were deeply involved in what came to be known as The Troubles. A man court martialled for supporting the Irish War of Independence, who raised toasts to the King in years to come, and worked with W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory.The list of those luminaries who acknowledge a debt to Dunsany is absurdly long. Lovecraft saw him on a speaking tour and wrote “There are my 'Poe' pieces and my 'Dunsany' pieces – but alas – where are my Lovecraft pieces?”. Tolkien gave a friend The Book of Wonder in order to help prepare for working on the Silmarillion together. Neil Gaiman, Arthur C Clarke, Ursula Le Guin, Guillermo del Toro, CL Moore, Jack Vance, Michael Moorcock and David Eddings were all influenced by Dunsany’s writings, making him much like the Velvet Underground (“Not that many people listened to them, but everyone that did started a band” – paraphrase from David Bowie)

    Strap in – Nicko McBrain is finally telling his story, and he’s doing it his way. 
    Hello Boys and Girls! is a thrilling, hilarious and deeply personal autobiography from the unstoppable drummer behind Iron Maiden. With trademark humour and heart, Nicko takes readers behind the scenes of one of Britain's biggest ever bands. 
    Nicko joined the band in 1982 after stints with artists like Streetwalker, Pat Travers and Trust. He honed his craft from decades of session work among the highly competitive mean streets and studios of London's Soho. Through his powerful, precise drumming and charismatic stage presence, the long-serving drummer became a metal icon, pivotal in shaping Iron Maiden's dynamic sound. 
    This is the story of what it feels like to remain not just relevant but more loved than ever after decades at the top, and to live a life transformed by music, brotherhood and belief. 
    Packed with unforgettable moments, backstage stories, laugh-out-loud anecdotes and raw honesty, Hello Boys and Girls! is more than a rock memoir; it’s a front-row seat to one of heavy metal’s greatest lives. 
    Nicko’s ready.

    When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.
