Utrecht, Caravaggio and Europe by Bernd Ebert (Editor); Liesbeth M. Helmus (Editor)

$90.00 AUD

Category: Miscellaneous

In around 1600, Rome was the center of the art world. Attracted by Caravaggio's spectacular success, young artists from all over Europe converged on the bustling metropolis to study and discuss his breathtaking and unconventional works, each using his style to develop their own individual pictorial lang uage. Artists from the Dutch tradition were particularly influenced by the Italian master's dramatic use of lighting and perspective, and carried Caravaggio's merciless realism to extremes. Featuring more than seventy paintings, this stunning volume traces the careers of the most important Utrecht Caravaggists--from Hendrick ter Brugghen to Gerard van Honthorst and Dirck van Baburen--and illuminates the wider atmosphere of rebellion and renewal in the art world during this time. ...Show more

No Enchanted Palace: The End of Empire and the Ideological Origins of the United Nations by Mark Mazower

$32.95 AUD

Category: Miscellaneous

No Enchanted Palace traces the origins and early development of the United Nations, one of the most influential yet perhaps least understood organizations active in the world today. Acclaimed historian Mark Mazower forces us to set aside the popular myth that the UN miraculously rose from the ashes of W orld War II as the guardian of a new and peaceful global order, offering instead a strikingly original interpretation of the UN's ideological roots, early history, and changing role in world affairs. Mazower brings the founding of the UN brilliantly to life. He shows how the UN's creators envisioned a world organization that would protect the interests of empire, yet how this imperial vision was decisively reshaped by the postwar reaffirmation of national sovereignty and the unanticipated rise of India and other former colonial powers. This is a story told through the clash of personalities, such as South African statesman Jan Smuts, who saw in the UN a means to protect the old imperial and racial order; Raphael Lemkin and Joseph Schechtman, Jewish intellectuals at odds over how the UN should combat genocide and other atrocities; and Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, who helped transform the UN from an instrument of empire into a forum for ending it. A much-needed historical reappraisal of the early development of this vital world institution, No Enchanted Palace reveals how the UN outgrew its origins and has exhibited an extraordinary flexibility that has enabled it to endure to the present day. ...Show more

The End of Back Pain: Access Your Hidden Core to Heal Your Body by Patrick Roth

$24.99 AUD

Category: Miscellaneous

Back pain manifests itself in many different forms, attacks without warning, and damages its victims' physical and emotional health. Everyone suggests a different cure for the effects of a weak core: surgeons want to cut, chiropractors want to adjust, physical therapists want to perform physical therapy . In The End of Back Pain, neurosurgeon Partick Roth, M.D., reveals that, more often than not, back pain is caused by a set of underdeveloped core muscles that control the stability and alignment of the spine that are not being used. He details a specialized exercise program to strengthen and develop those muscles to relieve, control, and even prevent chronic pain. The End of Back Pain helps patients view the body from a totally different perspective, and inspires readers to push their bodies in order to cure its maladies. After years of treating back pain, Dr. Roth has seen time and time again that a back that is not used to its full capacity is a back that is unhealthy. When we don't use our backs, we are not utilizing the core set of muscles designed to help us stay strong, increase stamina, and look our very best. ...Show more

How Jesus Became Christian by Barrie Wilson

$35.00 AUD

Category: Miscellaneous

We often forget the undeniable fact that Jesus was Jewish. He lived and died a Jew, teaching the religion of his forbears and living by the Torah. After his death there was a 'Jesus movement' led by Jesus' brother James in Jerusalem and a 'Christ movement' led by Paul (who never met Jesus) in the Diaspo ra. The Christ movement deliberately sought to replace and destroy the Jesus movement. The battles of the Jewish community against the Romans, and the chaos after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in AD 70, helped Paul and his party to seduce Jesus' followers away from the strictures of Judaism. Having killed off the historical Jesus, the new Christians turned the religion away from a traditional emphasis on behaviour into the most successful personality cult in recorded history. ...Show more
