  This third volume of Élie Faure's History of Art is a masterful immersion into the essence of the Renaissance, that era of creative rebirth in which art transcends the Middle Ages to embrace individualism and humanism. Through vivid analysis of Italian centers such as Florence, Rome, and Venice, the author deciphers the aesthetic revolutions carried by giants like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Titian. He explores the evolution of painting, sculpture, and architecture, influenced by discoveries such as the printing press and intense philosophical debates. Faure brilliantly connects Italy with Northern Europe, analyzing Flemish, French, and German schools and their fruitful exchanges with the South. Contrasts between Gothic mysticism and Renaissance sensuality emerge, revealing an art in search of harmony between form, color, and spirit. Passionate and erudite, this volume inspires a desire to rediscover this abundant period, a bridge to modernity. Ideal for art and history enthusiasts, in reading or listening, it awakens the soul and imagination.

  Kakatiya Dynasty - Fortresses...

  The Kakatiya Dynasty emerged as a formidable power in the Deccan region of India, leaving behind a rich legacy of military strength, administrative brilliance, and cultural contributions. Their origins can be traced back to the 10th century, though historical records regarding their early rulers remain scarce. Initially, the Kakatiyas served as feudatories under the Rashtrakutas and later the Western Chalukyas, gradually expanding their influence over the Telugu-speaking region. 
  The name "Kakatiya" is believed to have originated from their association with the goddess Kakati, a form of Durga, who was worshipped as their family deity. The earliest known ruler, Venna or Beta I, established the dynasty’s foundation, but it was during the reign of Prola I that the Kakatiyas started asserting their independence. Prola II played a crucial role in strengthening their foothold by resisting Chalukyan dominance and expanding Kakatiya control over the eastern Deccan. 
  During this period, the Deccan was a contested space where multiple regional powers sought dominance. The Kakatiyas capitalized on the declining influence of the Western Chalukyas, strategically aligning themselves with or resisting various rulers to carve out an independent identity. Their stronghold was initially located in Hanamkonda, which later evolved into the grand city of Warangal, a center of Kakatiya power and cultural patronage.

  Apocalypse Television - How The...

  On November 20, 1983, a three-hour made-for-TV movie, The Day After, premiered on ABC. Set in the heartland of Lawrence, Kansas, the film depicted the events before, during, and after a Soviet nuclear attack with vivid scenes of the post-apocalyptic hellscape that would follow. The film was viewed by over 100 million Americans and remains the highest rated TV movie in history. 
   
   
   
  The path to primetime for The Day After proved nearly as treacherous as the film's narrative. Battles ensued behind the scenes at the network, between the network and the filmmakers. But these skirmishes pale in comparison to the culture wars triggered by the film in the press, alongside a growing Nuclear Freeze movement, and from a united, pro-nuclear Right. Once efforts to alter the script failed, the White House conducted a full-throttled propaganda campaign to hijack the film's message. 
   
   
   
  Apocalypse Television features a dramatic insider's account of the making of and backlash against The Day After. No other book has told this story in similar fashion, venturing behind-the-scenes of the programming and news divisions at ABC, the backlash from the conservative movement and Religious Right, the challenges encountered by the film's production team, and the experiences of the citizens of Lawrence, Kansas, where the film was set and shot.
