Sinopse

Megalithic Quarrying Methods explores how ancient civilizations, lacking modern technology, quarried, moved, and erected massive stone structures. It investigates the sophisticated techniques used to extract colossal blocks, often weighing tons, and transport them across vast distances. The book reveals that successful megalithic construction depended on understanding material properties, innovative tool designs, and organized labor, challenging the perception of ancient builders as primitive.

 
The book examines quarrying methods across different regions and geological conditions, using archaeological excavations and geological surveys as evidence. It highlights experimental archaeology, where replicating ancient techniques provides insights into the practical challenges faced by builders. For example, researchers have recreated ancient methods to understand how Egyptians moved massive stones for the Pyramids.

 
The book progresses by first introducing stone types, then detailing quarrying methods, analyzing transportation techniques, and finally examining the societal impacts of megalithic construction. It bridges archaeology, engineering, and history, offering a comprehensive understanding of ancient technology and construction.

Art-Quake 1910 - The Manet and...

David Boyd Haycock

The exhibition Manet and the Post-Impressionists was the closest thing, metaphorically, to a bomb in the National Gallery. It was, as one of its organisers, Clive Bell, later remarked, "the Art-Quake of 1910".


Cézanne, Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin and Van Gogh – all five artists were introduced to the British public in a single exhibition in 1910. Reactions ranged from outrage to disbelief to a sense of ecstatic liberation, as visitors to the Grafton Galleries found themselves face to face with art that seemed to mock five hundred years of tradition. British painters were still working in the shadow of the Old Masters, but here were Continental artists reaching for the new light of Modernism.


Vividly evoking the personalities of Roger Fry and the Bloomsbury Group members who staged the exhibition, as well as the artists themselves, David Boyd Haycock captures not just a pivotal moment in British art but a whole society on the brink of cataclysmic upheaval.

A Day of Infamy Revisited

Steve Sandberg

Tragic events can often be the catalyst and inspiration for the creation of meaningful works of art. In this case, it was the September 11th catastrophe of 2001 which provided the stimulus that would ultimately lead me down a totally unforeseen path, revealing an attitude never previously observed. Other than a proclivity for drawing geometric shapes, no artistic tendencies had even been evident.
The one constant theme in my work is the recurring use of nines and elevens to generate images. Other symbols and characters are also employed; sometimes intentional, sometimes not.
People who have explored my world have seen different things. Take the journey and see what you can uncover. Remember, in the future, be open to the possibility that sometimes unexpected abilities can appear anytime in one's life. Be ready to embrace the opportunity these possibilities present and take them down your own personal road of discovery.
