Sinopse

Bronze Casting explores the rich history and complex techniques behind bronze sculpture, revealing its profound influence on art and culture across civilizations. The book emphasizes the lost-wax casting process ('cire perdue') and its evolution, which enabled the replication of intricate forms. Discover how bronze casting played a vital role in shaping the artistic identities of ancient civilizations, from Mesopotamia to the Benin Empire, and how artistic movements like the Renaissance redefined the medium's possibilities. The book argues that bronze casting's development was not just technological but a pivotal force shaping artistic expression and cultural exchange. For example, advancements allowed for more complex and lasting artworks, influencing aesthetic forms and cultural values. Beginning with the fundamentals of bronze alloys and casting methods, the book journeys chronologically through the history of bronze, delving into case studies of significant sculptures and culminating in a discussion of conservation practices.

Global Authoritarianism -...

International Research Group on...

We are witnessing a worldwide resurgence of reactionary ideologies and movements, combined with an escalating assault on democratic institutions and structures. Nevertheless, most studies of these phenomena remain anchored in a methodological nationalism, while comparative research is almost entirely limited to the Global North. Yet, authoritarian transformations in the South — and the struggles against them — have not only been just as dramatic as those in the North but also preceded them, and consequently have been studied by Southern scholars for many years. 

This volume brings together the work of more than 15 scholar-activists from across the Global South, combining in-depth studies of regional processes of authoritarian transformation with a global perspective on authoritarian capitalism.

The Happy Hooker - My Own Story

Robin Moore, Xaviera Hollander,...

The thirtieth anniversary edition of one of the modern classics of the sexual revolution—with a new Afterword by the author. 
 
How did you first learn about sex? If you grew up in the 1970s, it may have been from a gleefully lusty tour guide named Xaviera Hollander. 
 
In the late 1960s—that era of sexual chaos, when Playboy Clubs and love-ins were competing for national attention—a beautiful, intelligent young Dutch secretary named Xaviera de Vries moved to New York, grew swiftly tired of her desk job . . . and soon became the most visible and glamorous madam the city had ever seen. As Xaviera Hollander, she published a shockingly candid account of her life behind the brothel door. The Happy Hooker shot straight to the top of the bestseller lists, sold more than fifteen million copies, and made this enterprising young woman an international phenomenon. 
 
Thirty years later, these delightfully explicit tales of the ’60s and ’70s swingers’ scene—including countless jaw-dropping stories of lesbianism, bondage, fetishism, and more—remain as titillating as ever, charged with the mix of shrewd observation and uninhibited appetite that made Hollander an irresistible storyteller. The Happy Hooker is a classic: the world’s greatest book on the world’s oldest profession.
