Sinossi

Missing Art explores the shadowy world of stolen and lost masterpieces, revealing the hidden stories behind their disappearances and the ongoing efforts to recover them. The book delves into the motivations driving art theft, from economic incentives to historical circumstances, and examines the complex web of international law enforcement involved. Readers will discover how the absence of these artworks severs our connection to the past, diminishing our understanding of history and impoverishing our collective identity.

 
The book approaches the subject through a combination of detailed case studies, historical analysis, and legal examination. It traces the evolution of art crime from wartime looting, particularly Nazi-era plunder, to sophisticated modern heists, such as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist. By examining the challenges of art recovery and the legal battles that ensue, Missing Art highlights the ethical implications of art ownership and the responsibility of collectors, museums, and governments in safeguarding cultural heritage.

 
It begins by introducing key concepts and culminates by urging readers to become more aware of threats and support efforts to protect and preserve art.

    “Hendrickson takes readers on a magical journey where they learn how to construct a personal Book of Shadows filled with ancestral wisdom.” —Theresa Reed, author of Twist Your Fate   Most of us know our immediate family and maybe even a generation or two beyond, but few of us are attuned to those who lived earlier. Many of us have forgotten how to keep our own stories alive. This is where the ancestors come in and where this book begins.Ancestral Grimoire is a guide to reconnecting with your ancestors. It will show you how to access their unique wisdom—their magic!—and create your own personal ancestral grimoire, a spell book or Book of Shadows, unique to you and your heritage. Through divination, intuition, and sometimes a little luck, you will learn the magic of each ancestor and how you can use their gifts to make your life richer and more fulfilling. As you go through this book, you’ll save your ancestral work in a journal or loose-leaf binder that will become the place to store the stories, spells, rituals, and everyday life, lore, and legend of twelve of your ancestors. At the end of a year, you will hold a personal Book of Shadows with every bit of ancestral knowledge within its pages unique to you. No two will ever be alike. In an age when family storytelling has been lost, you will have created a legacy—and a life—that the ancestors could only dream of.

    The underground rock wall in Rockwall, Texas has fascinated me for years. I’ve read everything I could online about it. Recently I moved from Los Angeles to Denton, Texas which is only about an hour drive from Rockwall. So I went there and spent an hour with the Rockwall County Museum Curator and learned a lot more about the structure.Was also able to examine and take pictures of the wall section moved from the actual wall and reconstructed outside the museum.In this book I’ve related the history of the wall’s discovery, excavations, interesting items and structures found on or near the wall, and information about possible giants who might have built it.There are a lot of unanswered questions about this structure which still need to be learned. Those questions are listed near the end of this book.

    Law of Attraction - Exactly How...

    This book consists of 2 books, which are: 
    Book 1: Are you stuck in life? Do you want to attract more wealth and success? Do you dream about having or being more? 
    If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this book may be a good way to start getting back on track in the right direction. We will address topics that relate to money, debt, and attraction of the things you want in life. 
    What do millionaires do right that others do not? 
    That’s another question we will dive into. One of the things they do right, is optimism. This trait can greatly enhance your success, and here, we will explain why it helps in achieving your goals and making your dreams a reality. 
    Book 2: Many people want more money. It’s a given. It’s simple. But what they don’t understand, is that some qualities need to be developed in order to receive more from the universe. 
    One of those is stress management. We live in a hectic world with ever-pressing expectations and an increasing number of confusing directions to go into. What you need to do, is to manage your time, your cortisol levels, and your emotional intelligence in a way that you can stay calm while doing “your thing.” 
    Another is self-control. Most people have times when they lack that self-control. The human body and the brain aren’t easy to master. They have tendencies that lean towards giving into temptation. But those temptations often stand in the way of our long-term goals by switching out lasting happiness and fulfilment for instant gratification. This needs to change, and in this book, at least one full chapter is strictly devoted to that topic.

    The Student

    From the president of Wesleyan University, an illuminating history of the student, spanning from antiquity to Zoom 
     
    In this sweeping book, Michael S. Roth narrates a vivid and dynamic history of students, exploring some of the principal models for learning that have developed in very different contexts, from the sixth century BCE to the present. 
     
    Beginning with the followers of Confucius, Socrates, and Jesus and moving to medieval apprentices, students at Enlightenment centers of learning, and learners enrolled in twenty-first-century universities, he explores how students have been followers, interlocutors, disciples, rebels, and children becoming adults. There are many ways to be a student, Roth argues, but at their core is developing the capacity to think for oneself by learning from others, and thereby finding freedom. 
     
    In an age of machine learning, this book celebrates the student who develops more than mastery, cultivating curiosity, judgment, creativity, and an ability to keep learning beyond formal schooling. Roth shows how the student throughout history has been someone who interacts dynamically with the world, absorbing its lessons and creatively responding to them.
