  Art History Volume 1 - Ancient Art

  Élie Faure

  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.

  Looking Out - Welsh Painting...

  Peter Lord

  The six sequential essays in this collection provide a narrative of a century and a half of Welsh painting, written with an emphasis on issues of social class and national identity. Through his earlier writing, Peter Lord has contributed to the establishment of an historical tradition of Welsh painting, but because it does not feature in the wider story of Western art history as presently told, the work revealed continues to be perceived as marginal, existing in isolation from ideas and movements in other countries. These essays break new ground by discussing the concerns of Welsh painters not only in domestic terms but also in the context of the ways in which artists in other parts of Europe and in the United States reacted to the common underlying causes of those concerns. The author challenges the idea that the work of Welsh painters is relevant only to the evolution of their own communities and, through confident and detailed analysis, validates their pictures also in terms of the arts of other Western cultures.

  Create a better life by creating better design. Did you know that. . . 
  . . . the arrangement of your living room could improve your relationship with your partner? 
  . . . the layout of your child’s classroom affects their grades and test scores? 
  . . . the design of your hospital room influences how quickly you recover? 
  We live in a symbiotic relationship with the spaces around us—first we make our spaces, and then our spaces make us. But we’re living in a suboptimal world, one that we designed. The good news: We can redesign it. For twenty years, architect and designer Danish Kurani has been transforming spaces to improve people’s health and happiness through the design of schools, homes, offices, and community centers across four continents.

  Kurani unveils a life-changing design philosophy, Baaham (pronounced BAH-hum), a word from Urdu meaning “in tandem”—describing two interconnected things working in harmony. Baaham draws from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology. Whether you’re designing for yourself or others, at any scale from a bedroom to a city block, Baaham is a roadmap for improving health, building deeper relationships, and finding greater fulfillment. It’s not just a philosophy—it’s a way of life. 
  Featuring seven core principles, Baaham helps everyone—from financially strapped college students to a manager looking to improve their team’s performance—create environments that are functional, beautiful, and life-changing. This book doesn’t tell you what to design. It teaches you how to design, so that you can build the life you want. Engaging illustrations are included throughout every chapter, to illuminate each principle and bring Baaham to life. 
  The Spaces That Make Us will change how you see the world—opening your eyes to what isn’t working, and helping you remake your spaces for a happier, healthier life. 
  Line drawings and a Baaham design canvas can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
