In this book, he examines the artist's childhood, family background, and early influences, as well as his relationships with his patrons, friends, and lovers. Overall, "Leonardo da Vinci" provides a unique perspective on the life and work of one of history's most fascinating and enigmatic figures, offering a compelling insight into the creative process and the psychological forces that drive it.

  A profound meditation on memory and the preservation of Palestinian heritage, from the award-winning author of We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I. 
   
   
   
  Forgotten uncovers the hidden or neglected memorials and places in historic Palestine—now Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories—and what they might tell us about the land and the people who live on the small slip of earth between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. 
   
   
   
  From ancient city ruins to the Nabi 'Ukkasha mosque and tomb, acclaimed writers and researchers Raja Shehadeh and Penny Johnson ask: what has been memorialized, and what lies unseen, abandoned, or erased—and why? Whether standing on a high cliff overlooking Lebanon or at the lowest land-based elevation on earth at the Dead Sea, they explore lost connections in a fragmented land. 
   
   
   
  In elegiac, elegant prose, Shehadeh and Johnson grapple not only with questions of Israeli resistance to acknowledging the Nakba—the 1948 catastrophe for Palestinians—but also with the complicated history of Palestinian commemoration today.

  'Local is Our Future' by Helena Norberg-Hodge connects the dots between our social, economic, ecological and spiritual crises, revealing how a systemic shift from global to local can address these seemingly disparate problems simultaneously.

Her arguments are supported by real-world examples proving that – beneath the radar of the mainstream media and far from the fetishized techno-utopia of Silicon Valley – healthy and vibrant futures, built upon connection to nature and community, are already in the making.Endorsements:Bill McKibben' - There is no more important task than re-localizing our economies… And this book will tell you how it's done.'Charles Eisenstein - 'A potent conceptual lens… to reverse the ruin of culture, nature, and place.'David Suzuki - 'The argument for economic decentralization, powerfully and passionately presented in this fine book, is one that we can no longer ignore.'Judy Wicks - 'An essential guidebook, lighting the way towards economies of human and ecological wellbeing.'Iain McGilchrist - 'Localization…is the only hope for the future.
