Sinossi

John Addington Symonds' monumental work, "The Renaissance in Italy," encompasses a comprehensive seven-volume exploration of one of the most transformative periods in Western history. Rich in literary style, Symonds masterfully blends biographical sketches, critical analysis, and vivid historical narrative to elucidate the intellectual, cultural, and artistic upheavals that defined the Italian Renaissance. His erudite prose is characterized by a deep appreciation for individual artists and thinkers, bringing to life the nuanced interplay between humanism, art, and society within the socio-political milieu of 14th to 17th-century Italy. Symonds, a Victorian-era scholar and poet, was profoundly influenced by his own experiences as a researcher and art historian. His passion for Italy—fueled by extensive travels and his pioneering interest in the gay cultural history—imbued his writings with a distinct fervor and insight. Symonds faced societal constraints regarding his sexual identity, which lent a unique perspective to his assessments of Renaissance artistry and its connection to broader themes of human expression, freedom, and identity. This comprehensive treatise is an essential read for anyone interested in the Renaissance, art history, or cultural studies. Symonds' meticulous research and evocative storytelling not only illuminate the era's monumental achievements but also inspire readers to appreciate the enduring legacy of human creativity and thought.

       Humanity has been given the unique capacity for developing higher consciousness. In “Where in the World is God”, I observe the life of humanity in the culture of today’s world, and assess the most energetic movements of the Universe being lived out through humanity. These movements reflect the current consciousness of humanity. 
        The book is compiled of three parts. Part 1 traces the development of religion, its encounter with science, and the later merging of both with psychology at the point of consciousness. Part 2 examines the most energetic movements of the Universe being lived out through humanity today. Part 3 draws together the findings explored in Part 2, teasing out the main “living ideas” that appear throughout the chapters. This section is more philosophical, reflecting on deeper movements within the ideas, choices, actions and processes of humanity as a whole.

    This program is read by the author.Taiwan expert Kerry Brown sums up the history of Taiwan and the danger of a Chinese takeover in this succinct and authoritative book.When the bloody Chinese Civil War concluded in 1949, two Chinas were born. Mao’s Communists won and took China’s mainland; Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists fled to Taiwan island. Since then, China and Taiwan have drifted into being separate political and cultural entities.Taiwan is now a flourishing democracy and an economic success story: just one of its companies produces over 90 per cent of the semiconductors that power the world’s economy. It is a free and vibrant society. For the United States and the West, the island is a bastion of freedom against China’s assertive presence in the region. And yet China, increasingly bellicose under Xi Jinping, insists Taiwan is part of its territory and must be returned to it. Should China blockade the island and mount an invasion, it would set off a chain reaction that would pitch it against the US – escalating a regional war into a global one. Taiwan is thus a geopolitical powder keg.Why Taiwan Matters helps us understand how and why we’ve arrived at this dangerous moment in history. With unparalleled access to Taiwan’s political leaders and a deep understanding of the island’s history and culture, Professor Kerry Brown provides a new reading of Taiwan, its twenty-three million people, and how they navigate being caught in this frightening geopolitical standoff. Why Taiwan Matters is the essential audiobook for understanding Taiwan’s unique story told in an accessible, expert and urgent way.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
