  Published in 1911, Kandinsky's book compares the spiritual life of humanity to a pyramid -- the artist has a mission to lead others to the pinnacle with his work. The point of the pyramid is those few, great artists. It is a spiritual pyramid, advancing and ascending slowly even if it sometimes appears immobile. During decadent periods, the soul sinks to the bottom of the pyramid; humanity searches only for external success, ignoring spiritual forces. (Summary from Wikipedia)

From the Cavern and Crawdaddy clubs through head-to-head comparisons of specific albums (e.g., Exile or “the White Album”?), members’ roles within the bands, the Svengali-like managers, influential producers, musical influences, and more, this is the book that dares confront the topics over which fans have agonized for years.

  Napoleon Bonaparte (born Napoleone Buonaparte; Ajaccio, August 15, 1769 - Saint Helena, May 5, 1821), later known by his royal name Napoleon I, was a French military man and politician born in Corsica who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. He was the de facto leader of the French Republic as first consul from 1799 to 1804, and then emperor of the French from 1804 to 1814 and again in 1815. Napoleon's political and cultural legacy endures to this day, as a leader as famous as controversial. He initiated many liberal reforms that have endured in society, and he is considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. Their campaigns are still studied in military academies around the world. Between three and six million civilians and soldiers died in what became known as the Napoleonic Wars. Napoleon was born on the island of Corsica, shortly after its annexation by France, into a native family descended from the Italian nobility. He supported the French Revolution in 1789 while serving in the French army, and attempted to spread its ideals. in his native Corsica. He rose quickly in the army after saving the French Directorate in power by shooting royalist insurgents. In 1796, he began a military campaign against the Austrians and their Italian allies, scoring decisive victories and becoming a national hero. Two years later, he led a military expedition to Egypt that served as a springboard to political power. He organized a coup d'état in November 1799 and became first consul of the Republic.

  Ever since the ancient greeks sculpted the first kouros, children have been a source of inspiration for some of the world’s greatest artists. Whether portraits of their own children, friends, and family members, or a nostalgic psychological portrayal of the artist’s own youth, depictions of children in art remain arresting examples of an intersection between the picturesque innocence of childhood and the methodical work of adult artistry. In this delightful new puzzle book, children get a chance to see little boys and girls just like them as portrayed by great artists, learning about how children grew up throughout history while experiencing a genuine connection with works of artistic genius.
