The Ring of the Nibelung (Illustrated Edition) - Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods

Richard Wagner

Sinopse

Richard Wagner's 'The Ring of the Nibelung (Illustrated Edition)' is a monumental opera consisting of four interconnected dramas. Wagner's literary style in the book blends mythological themes from Norse and Germanic legends with his own innovative musical ideas. The story follows the struggle for power and possession of a magical ring that grants its owner unlimited power but also brings about destruction. The elaborate narrative structure and complex character development showcase Wagner's genius in both music and storytelling. This illustrated edition includes stunning visuals that complement the epic tale of gods, heroes, and dwarves. The book's literary context is rooted in the Romantic era, with Wagner's revolutionary approach to opera challenging traditional conventions and paving the way for modern music drama. Richard Wagner, known for his radical vision of music and art, was inspired by ancient myths and legends when creating 'The Ring of the Nibelung.' His belief in the transformative power of music is evident in the intricate orchestration and thematic motifs that run throughout the operatic cycle. Wagner's personal experiences and political beliefs also influenced the themes of redemption and the corrupting influence of power in the book. I would highly recommend 'The Ring of the Nibelung (Illustrated Edition)' to readers interested in exploring the intersection of music, mythology, and literature. Wagner's innovative approach to opera and his timeless exploration of timeless themes make this book a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of music and storytelling.

Inclusive Conversations -...

Mary-Frances Winters

"What is impressive is not only how Winters builds a case for the urgency and need for bold, inclusive conversations but that she also gives specific strategies and competencies to turn her theory into practice. 
-Dr. Sheila Robinson, publisher and CEO, Diversity Woman Media 
 
Effective dialogue across different dimensions of diversity, such as race, gender, age, religion, or sexual orientation, fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion, which in turn leads to greater productivity, performance, and innovation. Whether in the workplace, faith communities, or educational settings, our differences can tear us apart rather than bring us together if we do not know how to communicate. Recognizing our collective responsibility to earnestly address our differences and increase understanding and empathy will not only enhance organizational goals but will also lead to a healthier, kinder, and more compassionate world. 
 
Award-winning diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant Mary-Frances Winters has been leading workshops on what she calls Bold, Inclusive Conversations for years. In this book she offers specific dialogue strategies to foster greater understanding on the following topics: 
     Recognizing the importance of creating equity and sharing power 
     Dealing with the "fragility" of dominant groups--their discomfort in engaging with historically subordinated groups 
     Addressing the exhaustion historically marginalized groups feel from constantly explaining their different lived experience 
     Exploring how to build trust and create psychologically safe spaces for dialogue 
This guide is comprehensive for anyone who wants to break down the barriers that separate us and facilitate discussions on potentially polarizing topics.

The Ascent of Money - A...

Niall Ferguson

Bread, cash, dough, loot, moolah, readies, the wherewithal: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, it's the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, it's the chains of labor. But in The Ascent of Money, Niall Ferguson shows that finance is, in fact, the foundation of human progress. What's more, he reveals financial history as the essential back story behind all history.Through Ferguson's expert lens, familiar historical landmarks appear in a new and sharper financial focus. Suddenly, the civilization of the Renaissance looks very different: a boom in the market for art and architecture made possible when Italian bankers adopted Arabic mathematics. The rise of the Dutch republic is reinterpreted as the triumph of the world's first modern bond market over insolvent Habsburg absolutism. And the origins of the French Revolution are traced back to a stock market bubble caused by a convicted Scot murderer.With the clarity and verve for which he is known, Ferguson elucidates key financial institutions and concepts by showing where they came from. What is money? What do banks do? What's the difference between a stock and a bond? Why buy insurance or real estate? And what exactly does a hedge fund do?This is history for the present. Ferguson travels to post-Katrina New Orleans to ask why the free market can't provide adequate protection against catastrophe. He also delves into the origins of the subprime mortgage crisis.Perhaps most important, The Ascent of Money documents how a new financial revolution is propelling the world's biggest countries, India and China, from poverty to wealth in the space of a single generation-an economic transformation unprecedented in human history.Yet the central lesson of the financial history is that sooner or later every bubble bursts-sooner or later the bearish sellers outnumber the bullish buyers; and sooner or later greed flips into fear. And that is why, whether you're scraping by or rolling in it, there's never been a better time to understand the ascent of money.
