Synopsis

Romanticism was a reaction against the Neoclassicism that invaded the 19th century, and marked a veritable intellectual rupture. Found in the writings of Victor Hugo and Lord Byron, amongst others, its ideas are expressed in painting by Eugène Delacroix, Caspar David Friedrich and William Blake. In sculpture, François Rude indicated the direction this new artistic freedom would take, endowing his work with a movement and expression never previously seen.
By retracing the different stages of its evolution, this book offers a study of the different aspects of the Romantic movement. Thanks to a thorough and in-depth analysis, the reader can understand in its entirety this movement which revolutionised the era.

    The origins of the Taíno people trace back thousands of years to the migrations of Arawakan-speaking groups from South America. Anthropologists and archaeologists believe that the ancestors of the Taíno first emerged in the Orinoco River basin, in what is now Venezuela, before gradually expanding into the Caribbean. These early settlers, known as the Saladoid culture, navigated the waterways of the Caribbean in dugout canoes, moving from the mainland to the Lesser Antilles and eventually reaching the Greater Antilles, where they established permanent settlements. 
    As they adapted to their new island environments, these early migrants developed a distinct culture that would later be recognized as the Taíno civilization. Over generations, they refined agricultural techniques suited to the tropical climate, cultivating staple crops like cassava, maize, and sweet potatoes. Their knowledge of fishing, hunting, and foraging allowed them to thrive in the diverse ecosystems of the Caribbean, from coastal regions to inland forests. 
    By the time Europeans arrived in the late 15th century, the Taíno were the dominant indigenous group across the islands of Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, eastern Cuba, and the Bahamas. Their society had evolved into a structured and hierarchical system led by caciques, or chiefs, who governed villages known as yucayeques. These settlements varied in size, with some growing into major centers of trade, religion, and politics. The Taíno also developed a rich spiritual belief system centered around ancestor worship and nature deities, a tradition that can be traced back to their South American roots.

    “An excellent look at how the Police accomplished success . . . West is especially good at examining how the band used the nascent MTV to define themselves.” ―Publishers Weekly   During the 1980s, The Police were one of the biggest bands in the world. Yet after only five albums—and at the peak of their popularity—they disbanded, and Sting began a solo career that made him a global pop star. Today, artists from Puff Daddy to Gwen Stefani credit The Police and Sting as major influences on their own work.   In this book, Aaron J. West explores the cultural and musical impact of Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers, and Sting. West details the distinctive hybrid character of The Police’s musical output, which would also characterize Sting’s post-Police career. Sting’s long-lived solo career embodies the power of the artful appropriation of musical styles, while capitalizing on the modern realities of pop music consumption. The Police—and Sting in particular—were pioneers in music video, modern label marketing, global activism, and the internationalization of pop music.  Sting and The Police: Walking in Their Footsteps is a feast for fans—and by placing the band within its various musical, cultural, commercial, and historic contexts, it’s also fascinating reading for anyone interested in global popular music culture.

    Is That True Or Did You Hear It...

    What exactly is the purpose of the BBC nowadays - to entertain, educate and inform? But is that all? The broadcaster itself claims to be a fearless and independent provider of news tasked with ‘speaking truth to power’ – a true champion of the underdog. 
     
    However, as David Sedgwick reveals in his new book the reality is somewhat different: not only does the BBC diligently protect power from scrutiny, it attacks and attempts to discredit those who dare to challenge the status quo. 
     
    Formed in 1922 by the British establishment, the BBC has always been a reliable ally of ultra-wealthy and powerful interests. Indeed, the broadcaster occupies a pivotal position within an international corporate-political alliance which promotes only those narratives which consolidate the ‘global order.’ 
     
    Using multiple examples of BBC reporting, the author argues that the tax-payer funded broadcaster is a proxy which acts on behalf of a tiny, but very powerful clique - a role which compels it to pump out disinformation on an industrial scale, misleading all those who consume its content.
