Synopsis

The Louvre Museum is more than a building filled with art; it's a historical artifact that reflects the evolution of Western culture. This book explores the transformation of the Louvre from a medieval fortress and royal palace to a public museum, highlighting its architectural changes and the stories embedded in its walls.

 
Did you know the Louvre was initially built as a fortress in the 12th century? Or that the French Revolution played a pivotal role in turning the palace into a space for public art? The book examines the museum's iconic art collection with famed pieces like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo while also investigating the controversial addition of I.M. Pei's glass pyramid in the 1980s, sparking debates about modern architecture versus historical designs.

 
It traces the Louvre's architectural and cultural journey across its chapters, offering a comprehensive view for art enthusiasts, architecture buffs, and history lovers alike.

    Like so many other cities of South America, Rio is an urban sprawl containing some truly stunning contrasts. Yet Rio comes alive, really, for only two things – soccer and the samba. According to tradition, founded by the Portuguese navigator André Gonçalves on 1 January 1502, declared the capital of Brazil by King John in 1763, Rio underwent major reorganization under President Alvarez at the beginning of the 20th century. Avenues and boulevards were laid out in a logic that added overall cohesion to the city. The greatest architects of the time and place were invited to make use of their talents. The houses merge with the tropical countryside, which features banana and sugar plantations lining the large bay that is dominated by the Pão de Açúcar – the famous Sugar Loaf Mountain. Other tourist delights include the Carioca aqueduct, the São Bento monastery and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Candelária which are close to each other, and the Quinta da Boa Vista public park. Rio is also famous for its wonderful beaches – such as those of Copacabana and Ipanema – on which the most beautiful women in the world tan themselves to a gorgeous golden colour wearing the skimpiest of costumes. But there is so much to catch the eye in this city, from the areas of avant-garde architecture to the miserable shanties of the favelas – all of which empty themselves of their inhabitants during Carnival, when costumes may again be both imaginative and leave little to the imagination, or when there is an important football match on at the Maracanã Stadium. Like its population, Rio is a compound of all the colours, all the shades, between black and white.

    Do you like scary movies? Have you ever wondered why? 
     
     
     
    In Nightmare Fuel, Nina Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? And why do we keep coming back for more? 
     
     
     
    Horror films promise an experience: fear. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images. 
     
     
     
    With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick. Nightmare Fuel covers everything from jump scares to creature features, serial killers to the undead, and the fears that stick around to those that fade over time. 
     
     
     
    With in-depth discussions and spotlight features of some of horror's most popular films—from classics like The Exorcist to modern hits like Hereditary—and interviews with directors, film editors, composers, and horror academics, Nightmare Fuel is a deep dive into the science of fear, a celebration of the genre, and a survival guide for going to bed after the credits roll.

    For more than 20 years, Worship Live drew together the best of new writing for worship. Many poets, musicians, hymnwriters and liturgists whose work would become well known first published in its pages. Worship Live honoured and nourished the many crafts involved in writing effective resources for worship, honing skills and sharpening tools, as we have worked with worship makers over the years. But the editors have also, to their great delight, given first flight to many who emerged newly fledged, feeling the wind of the Spirit under their wings, but tentative in trusting to their new plumage.
    
     
    First Flight Feathers is a celebration of Worship Live. It showcases a vibrant collection of items by writers and musicians grow and shows how they can develop into a community.
