  Painted People: Humanity in 21...

  In 1881, a writer in the Saturday Review called tattooing ‘an art without a history’. ‘No-one’, it went on, ‘has made it the business of his life to study the development of tattooing.’ Until now. 
  Painted People is a beguiling and intimate look at an untold history of humanity. 
  The earliest tattoos yet identified belonged to Ötzi, the ‘iceman’, whose mummy allows us a brief glimpse into the prehistory of the practice. We know that over the more than five thousand years since he was tattooed, countless cultures have performed this ancient practice, and people in every corner of the world have been tattooed. For the most part, these fascinating histories remain stubbornly untold, and the secrets of Siberian princesses, Chinese generals and Victorian socialites have been hidden on the skin, under layers of clothing and under layers of history. Now with access to a wealth of new and unreported material, this book will roll up its sleeves and reveal the artwork hidden beneath them. 
  In Painted People, Dr Matt Lodder, one of the world’s foremost experts on tattooing, tells the stories of people like Arnaq, who was tattooed in keeping with her cultural and religious traditions in sixteenth-century Canada, and Horace Ridler, who was tattooed as a means to make money in 1930s London. And in between these two extremes, he describes tattoos inked for love, for loyalty, for sedition and espionage and for self-expression, as well as tattoos inflicted on the unwilling, to ostracise. Taken together, these twenty-one tattoos paint a portrait of humanity as both artist and canvas. 
  Lodder's Painted People is a top-tier exploration of body art, blending science and design in a unique anthropological study. His criticism of popular views on tattooing offers a fresh perspective on this ancient practise. 
  For fans of Nick Schonberger (The Language of Tattoos), John Miller (The Philosophy of Tattoos), Trent Aitken-Smith (The Tattoo Dictionary), Caroline Vout (Exposed), and Yori Moriarty (Japanese Tattoos).

  ARRIVAL 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Arrival is a 2016 science fiction drama directed by Denis Villeneuve. The film follows linguist Dr. Louise Banks, portrayed by Amy Adams, who is recruited by the U.S. military to help communicate with extraterrestrial beings after twelve mysterious spacecraft land on Earth. As Louise and physicist Ian Donnelly, played by Jeremy Renner, attempt to decipher the aliens' complex, non-linear language, they grapple with global tensions and the potential consequences of contact. The film explores themes of language, time, memory, and the nature of human perception, offering a deeply philosophical take on communication and the possibility of future connections. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Director Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Eric Heisserer created a fully functioning, visual alien language. They developed a 'logogram bible,' which included over a hundred different fully operative logograms, seventy-one of which are featured in the movie.” 
    
  “The circular alien language was created by Montreal artist Martine Bertrand. The artist's son also created Hannah's drawings.” 
    
  “While the shape of the alien ship was decided early on, Denis Villeneuve had difficulty imagining an interior that would allow humans to navigate such a steep and vertical design. The decision to turn gravity sideways was made as a solution.” 
    
  “Ted Chiang, the author of the story on which the film is based, approved of the movie. He stated, 'I think it's that rarest of the rare in that it's both a good movie and a good adaptation.'”
