  A New York Times bestseller, The Sistine Secrets exposes the shocking revelations found in Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel artwork. 
   
  The cleaning of the Sistine Chapel frescoes removed layer after layer of centuries of accumulated tarnish and darkness. Rabbi Benjamin Blech and scholar Roy Doliner’s The Sistine Secrets endeavors to remove the centuries of prejudice, censorship, and ignorance that blind us to the truth about one of the world’s most famous and beloved art treasures.  
   
  For hidden in plain sight within his masterpiece, Michelangelo shared his personal beliefs about brotherhood, acceptance, and individual thought among other ideals that the Church would have found blasphemous. 
   
  “It’s hard to believe that the Sistine Chapel—decorated by Michelangelo, one of civilization’s greatest artists, studied by legions of art historians, and seen by tens of millions of visitors—could reveal secrets of such enormous magnitude. And yet it all rings true. This book of astounding revelations is built on careful scholarship, lucid exposition, and it is, above all, compelling reading.” —New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Harr 
   
  “Like the best art historians, the authors give us a fresh context for the times, never hesitating to make contemporary parallels. . . . This is a stimulating exploration that makes familiar masterpieces seem strange and new.” —Los Angeles Times 
   
  “The journey of analysis of the complex images rewards the reader with many profound insights about the artwork and the complex nature of Michelangelo’s ideas. . . . Fascinating and engaging.” —The Jewish Press

  Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia merges science with human concerns and ideals, examining the universe’s influence in our everyday lives and ultimate fates through relationship between past and present, order and disorder and the certainty of knowledge. Set in an English country house in the year 1809-1812 and 1989, the play examines the lives of two modern scholars and the house's current residents with the lives of those who lived there 180 years earlier.

A play of wit, intellect, language, brio and emotion,” and The Royal Institution of Great Britain calls it: “the best science book ever written.”Includes an interview with Steven Strogatz, the author of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos and  professor at the Cornell University School of Theoretical and Applied Mathematics.An L.A.
