Beschreibung

Forgery in Art explores the fascinating, deceptive world where fake artwork can command millions, challenging our understanding of art history and the art market. The book investigates how art forgery threatens the integrity of artistic legacy, compelling us to question the authenticity of long-accepted masterpieces. It delves into the psychology of the forger, the evolution of forgery techniques, and the scientific methods used for detection.

 
The book analyzes the motivations behind forgery, driven by a mixture of artistic talent, financial need, and ego. It traces how forgery techniques have advanced, from simple replication to complex schemes involving artificial aging and false provenance. The book then details the scientific advancements, such as pigment analysis, that have transformed art authentication.

 
Through case studies of notorious figures like Han van Meegeren, known for his Vermeer forgeries, and Elmyr de Hory, who deceived galleries worldwide, the book reveals the diverse strategies used in art fraud.

 
Organized into three parts, the book first defines art forgery and its legal and ethical implications. It then presents case studies of famous forgers and finally examines the science of authentication, including microscopic and x-ray analysis. Forgery in Art uniquely blends historical and scientific perspectives, providing a comprehensive look at art forgery and its impact on our appreciation of art.

The Pharaoh’s Kill List - Inside...

Davis Truman

Buried beneath the sands of Ancient Egypt lies a secret history far darker than the pyramids, pharaohs, and golden treasures we think we know… 
For centuries, whispers of a forbidden ritual have haunted archaeologists and historians, a chilling practice woven into the rise and fall of Egypt’s most powerful rulers. In The Pharaoh’s Kill List: Inside the Ancient Egyptian Tradition of Human Sacrifice, bestselling researcher Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on a world where divine kingship demanded blood, loyalty was enforced through death, and every royal tomb carried secrets meant to stay hidden forever. 
Through newly analyzed evidence, forgotten stelae, and translations of long-overlooked texts, this book dives deep into: 
·        The origins of human sacrifice in early dynastic Egypt—and why it suddenly disappeared 
·        Shocking archaeological finds that reveal entire retinues killed to serve their king beyond death 
·        The Pharaohs who expanded, concealed, or weaponized sacrificial rituals 
·        How religion, fear, and absolute power shaped one of the most secretive traditions in the ancient world 
Perfect for fans of ancient history, true crime, Egyptology, anthropology, and dark historical mysteries, this book delivers a gripping blend of scholarship and narrative storytelling. Every chapter pulls you deeper into the ritual logic of a civilization where gods walked among men—and where appeasing them required unthinkable acts. 
If you believe you already know Ancient Egypt…Prepare to be proven wrong. 
Enter the tomb. Face the truth. Discover what—and who—the Pharaohs were willing to sacrifice.

The Magical Game - The Spirit...

Addy Baird

This is the story of baseball’s rich magical history and the centuries-old culture of superstition in the sport. It is a love letter to the jinxes, curses, rituals and myths of baseball’s past and present ― and to the innate mysticism of the game.
 

 
For more than 150 years, a magical culture has been central to the game of baseball: At the turn of the 20th century, a battle between two lucky mascots defined early World Series matchups. Soon after, two generational curses spawned decades of heartbreaking losses for the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox. Today, players like Bryce Harper perform at-bat rituals, fans refuse to wash the jerseys of their favorite players, and baseball people everywhere refuse to utter the words “no-hitter” before there’s been a hit.
 

 
In The Magical Game, journalist and converted baseball fan Addy Baird turns her reporter’s eye to her favorite sport, investigating the roots of these magical practices and telling the story of baseball’s long history of superstition, rituals, curses, jinxes, hoodoos, and hexes. Spanning three centuries of baseball history and three dozen more of magical history, Baird takes readers through fascinating, forgotten tidbits in the sport, untangles the game’s legends, and considers baseball’s uncertain future. In the face of recent MLB rule changes and the rise of advanced statistics, Baird looks at the many decades of concern about baseball’s declining popularity and the evolution of the sport, as well as why and how a culture of magic has remained strong at the core of the game for so many years.
 

 
Funny, poetic, and deeply researched, The Magical Game will make readers fall in love with baseball all over again.
