Synopsis

Lost Sculptures explores the compelling stories behind significant sculptures vanished through time, destruction, or theft. It delves into art history, examining the social and political contexts surrounding these losses, from iconoclasm to wartime looting. The book emphasizes how the disappearance of these artworks affects our understanding of history and cultural identity, creating voids in our collective memory.

 
For instance, the book discusses the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan, highlighting the deliberate targeting of cultural heritage. The book uniquely focuses not only on the sculptures' artistic value but also on the broader implications of their disappearance, such as the psychological impact on communities.

 
Structured to guide readers through a comprehensive exploration, it begins by introducing key concepts before examining specific examples and culminates in modern challenges like art theft and the illicit antiquities trade. It unveils how the absence of these sculptures alters art history's trajectory, forcing re-evaluation of established narratives and compelling a deeper appreciation for preservation.

Loud - Accept Nothing Less Than...

Drew Afualo

This program is read by the author.The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first audiobook by podcast star Drew Afualo. With a new afterword from the author!Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s “Crusader for Women” and is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars. Loud is part manual, part manifesto, and part memoir. It makes it clear that behind her fearsome laugh is a mission and a life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out, and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the center of how women and femmes think about themselves.Afualo has amassed more than nine million followers across her social platforms. When she first started creating content in 2020, she realized that men on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and other apps were creating sexist content aimed at disparaging women, and also containing rampant fatphobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, with very real-life consequences. It didn’t take long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny, and her signature laugh is now recognized as a feminist call to arms, a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals.A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.

The Caledoniad - The Making of...

Catriona M.M. MacDonald

Winner of the 2025 Frank Watson Book Prize
Why did Scots in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries know so little about their past and even less about those who controlled their history? Is the historical narrative the only legitimate medium through which the past can be made known? Are novelists and historians as far apart as convention has it? In an age when history grounds any claims to national status, these are important questions and they have implications for how Scottish history has evolved, and how Scottish identity has been understood up to the present day.
Scottish history is not simply the distillation of Scotland's past: authors shape what we know and how we judge our forebears. This book investigates who decided which Scottish voices of the past would be heard in history's pages and which would ultimately be silenced. It sketches a picture of a narrow and privileged cultural elite that responded belatedly to a more democratic age and only slowly embraced women writers and the interests of 'average' Scots. Integrating historical fiction and popular histories in its appreciation of the Scottish historical imaginary, it most importantly tells the story of why, despite the interests of politicians and others, a truly British history has never emerged.
'A brilliant, scholarly yet highly readable work which enlarges our understanding of what Scottish history is, and reinforces why it really matters' - James Robertson

Divine Protection - A retelling...

Krishna Dharma, Chintamani Dhama...

A dramatic narration of the great Sanskrit epic in fluid prose that enables those new to the text to easily assimilate its profound messages, while enjoying its vivid stories of gods, saints, sages, and ancient kings. In this volume, we see how Krishna saves his devotee from degradation. Beginning with the famous story of Ajamila, the brahmin who fell from an exalted position to become a ruthless robber and cheat, only to be miraculously redeemed at the very moment of death. Then we hear how Indra, king of the gods, insulted his guru and, as a result, was overpowered by the demonic races, led by Vritra, a supernatural colossus conjured for the god’s destruction. The twist in this tale is that the demon was a great saintly devotee of Krishna. Finally, we hear how Diti, mother of the demons, gains her salvation. Through all these narrations, we see how, no matter how fallen you are, if you have any divine service to your credit, Krishna will find a way to save you.
