  Art History Volume 1 - Ancient Art

  The first volume of Élie Faure’s series History of Art takes the listener on a breathtaking journey to the origins of human imagination. This book traces the birth of the human gaze — from the Paleolithic caves to the colossal statues of Egypt, from Assyria’s winged bulls to the sunlit temples of Greece, and ultimately to Rome, the genius of stone and roads.   
  As a poetic storyteller and visionary historian, Faure reveals that works of art are never mere decoration, but living systems of forces, where form unites with function and idea becomes flesh — art as a common language, the breath of peoples, the memory of the world.   
  The reader moves through caves alive with bison, sun-baked pylons, friezes depicting Panathenaic processions, and Roman arenas where architecture becomes pure will — every page is a scene, every civilization a breath. This book/audiobook offers a sensitive and intellectual key to “see” more clearly: to understand, to love, to compare; to feel the secret correspondences between science, morality, and beauty — up to the Greek moment when man seems to harmonize nature and spirit. A lucid, lyrical epic that dazzles the mind and stirs the irresistible desire to listen further.

  Why attractive things work better and other crucial insights into human-centered design 
   
   
   
  Emotions are inseparable from how we humans think, choose, and act. In Emotional Design, cognitive scientist Don Norman shows how the principles of human psychology apply to the invention and design of new technologies and products. In The Design of Everyday Things, Norman made the definitive case for human-centered design, showing that good design demanded that the user's must take precedence over a designer's aesthetic if anything, from light switches to airplanes, was going to work as the user needed. In this book, he takes his thinking several steps farther, showing that successful design must incorporate not just what users need, but must address our minds by attending to our visceral reactions, to our behavioral choices, and to the stories we want the things in our lives to tell others about ourselves. Good human-centered design isn't just about making effective tools that are straightforward to use; it's about making affective tools that mesh well with our emotions and help us express our identities and support our social lives. From roller coasters to robots, sports cars to smart phones, attractive things work better. Whether designer or consumer, user or inventor, this book is the definitive guide to making Norman's insights work for you.
