  This third volume of Élie Faure's History of Art is a masterful immersion into the essence of the Renaissance, that era of creative rebirth in which art transcends the Middle Ages to embrace individualism and humanism. Through vivid analysis of Italian centers such as Florence, Rome, and Venice, the author deciphers the aesthetic revolutions carried by giants like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Titian. He explores the evolution of painting, sculpture, and architecture, influenced by discoveries such as the printing press and intense philosophical debates. Faure brilliantly connects Italy with Northern Europe, analyzing Flemish, French, and German schools and their fruitful exchanges with the South. Contrasts between Gothic mysticism and Renaissance sensuality emerge, revealing an art in search of harmony between form, color, and spirit. Passionate and erudite, this volume inspires a desire to rediscover this abundant period, a bridge to modernity. Ideal for art and history enthusiasts, in reading or listening, it awakens the soul and imagination.

  Obey the Flower - Tales of a...

  In 2005 Kimerer LaMothe moved with her family to a dilapidated dairy farm in upstate New York. She was living her dream – eager to dance and write surrounded by the beauty of the natural world. Her children decided they wanted to be farmers. 
  With ample doses of honesty, wisdom, and wonder, Kimerer chronicles her adventures in creative living with her life partner, their four then five children, and a barnyard of animals. 
  In a series of essays spanning twelve years, Kimerer asks: Is dance a vital art? Can you teach creativity? Why milk a cow? Is nature for or against us? Must we feel pain? Why isn’t good sex easy? How do you parent warring siblings? Is the Earth sacred? Above all, how should we live? 
  "The book is such a gift. It will be a touchstone for many who are on a quest for something they can't yet name." – Philip Ackerman-Leist, Author of Up Tunket Road and Rebuilding the Foodshed 
  "Obey the Flower is about life as a powerful creative act, or as historian Mircea Eliade says, 'founding the world' as sacred. Each vignette demonstrates a way - a way of love, integrity and grit. Yes, dance, movement and embodiment figure most of all from this dancing, Ph.D philosopher, but it's not only art as performance. It details the potential for creativity to be in everyone's life every day... It's truly a book 'of life' well worth a slow, contemplative read." – Dr. Deborah Welsh, Creative Art/Dance Movement Therapist

  Every Brain Needs Music - The...

  Whenever a person engages with music―when a piano student practices a scale, a jazz saxophonist riffs on a melody, a teenager sobs to a sad song, or a wedding guest gets down on the dance floor—countless neurons are firing. Playing an instrument requires all of the resources of the nervous system, including cognitive, sensory, and motor functions. Composition and improvisation are remarkable demonstrations of the brain's capacity for creativity. Something as seemingly simple as listening to a tune involves mental faculties most of us don't even realize we have. 
   
   
   
  Larry S. Sherman, a neuroscientist and lifelong musician, and Dennis Plies, a professional musician and teacher, collaborate to show how our brains and music work in harmony. They consider music in all the ways we encounter it—teaching, learning, practicing, listening, composing, improvising, and performing—in terms of neuroscience as well as music pedagogy, showing how the brain functions and even changes in the process. Every Brain Needs Music draws on leading behavioral, cellular, and molecular neuroscience research as well as surveys of more than a hundred musical people. It provides new perspectives on learning to play, teaching, how to practice and perform, the ways we react to music, and why the brain benefits from musical experiences.
