Sinopse

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.

The Spiritual Enlightenment of...

Martin K. Ettington

I’ve written quite a few books about spirituality and my experiences and beliefs in our abilities to expand our consciousness through spiritual development practices, meditation, and the paranormal. 
This book includes my experiences with paranormal abilities acquired from the spiritual development process and different enlightenment experiences. 
Having been raised in a technical family and gone to engineering school my perspective is pretty unique since I developed both traditional technical knowledge of the world while I was also going through the spiritual development and enlightenment process. 
There are many engineers and scientists who are also religious but I’ve found that technical people who are as deeply into spiritual enlightenment practices and paranormal experiences are pretty rare. 
What I’ve found is that this dual background has given me more clarity about the world we live in and better objectivity in many cases regarding strange or unusual phenomena. 
The theme of this book is to review how I went through this dual track system of learning in my life to become both a traditional engineer and to have fairly adept knowledge of spiritual and paranormal experiences.
