Sinossi

In "Spectacle Secrets," George Cox crafts a penetrating exploration of the multifaceted dynamics between appearance and reality in contemporary society. This text weaves together elements of sociology, media studies, and psychology to dissect the ways in which spectacle governs our perception and cultural engagement. Cox employs a critical literary style, reflecting both theoretical rigor and engaging accessibility, as he navigates through historical and modern examples of spectacle—from the rise of social media influencers to the manipulation of public consciousness in political arenas. Grounded in postmodern critiques, Cox's work is both timely and timeless, urging readers to question the authenticity of their experiences amidst an ocean of curated images. George Cox is an acclaimed scholar known for his interdisciplinary approach to cultural criticism. With a background in sociology and media studies, Cox has spent over a decade analyzing the implications of digital culture on human interaction. His experiences as a media consultant for various organizations further inform his insights, allowing him to blend academic research with practical observations on the pervasive influence of spectacle in daily life. His previous works have laid the groundwork for this endeavor, marking him as a pivotal voice in understanding modern media. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of contemporary existence shaped by spectacle. Cox's insightful analysis will resonate with scholars, students, and curious readers alike, inviting them to critically engage with their socio-cultural surroundings. "Spectacle Secrets" promises to enlighten, challenge, and inspire, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding of the delicate interplay between perception and reality.

    Art History Gothic art

    Gothic art finds its roots in the powerful architecture of the cathedrals of northern France. It is a medieval art movement that evolved throughout Europe for more than 200 years. Leaving curved Roman forms behind, the architects started using flying buttresses and pointed arches to open cathedrals to the daylight. A period of great economic and social change, the gothic era also saw the development of a new iconography celebrating the Holy Mary, in contrast to the fearful themes of dark Roman times. Full of rich changes in all the different arts (architecture, sculpture, painting, etc.), Gothic art gave way to the Italian Renaissance and International Gothic.

    P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.  Collected here are two of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" creations - ten short stories from the anthology "Carry On, Jeeves" and the complete novel "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These two books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.
