Recovering the Lost Art of Discernment

"And God saw that it was good..." Today, pain, conflict, and uncertainty dominate the headlines and our daily lives are noisy and chaotic--filled with too much information and too little wisdom. No wonder we often find it easier to retreat into safe spaces, hunkering down, and doing our best to survive. But what if God wants more for you? What if he wants you to thrive in this world, and be part of its redemption? To rediscover the beauty and goodness of His creation? To do this, we must recover the lost art of discernment. Discernment is more than simply avoiding bad things; discernment frees you to navigate the world with confidence and joy by teaching you how to recognize and choose good things. When you develop a taste for all that's good, you will encounter God in remarkable new ways. Discover the freedom and joy of discernment today.

What's New, What's On, What's Best

Best known as the center of Renaissance culture, Florence is also firmly planted in the 21st century -- and looking forward to the future. Recent innovations include new building projects such as a high-speed train link designed by Sir Norman Foster, as well as Firenze Nova, a fascinating satellite town being built from scratch. Even the most traditional aspects of Italian life -- food and drink -- are getting a revamp here, with an explosion of destination wine bars and trendy restaurants. This illustrated guide, written by knowledgeable locals, also contains comprehensive coverage of the city's arts and culture scene as well as hundreds of independent reviews. These critics save visitors time, money, and headaches by identifying Florence's best, worst, most fashionable, and most overrated.

Francis Fukuyama

The Social Virtues and the Creation of Prosperity

In his bestselling The End of History and the Last Man, Francis Fukuyama argued that the end of the Cold War would also mean the beginning of a struggle for position in the rapidly emerging order of 21st-century capitalism. In Trust, a penetrating assessment of the emerging global economic order "after History," he explains the social principles of economic life and tells us what we need to know to win the coming struggle for world dominance. Challenging orthodoxies of both the left and right, Fukuyama examines a wide range of national cultures in order to divine the underlying principles that foster social and economic prosperity. Insisting that we cannot divorce economic life from cultural life, he contends that in an era when social capital may be as important as physical capital, only those societies with a high degree of social trust will be able to create the flexible, large-scale business organizations that are needed to compete in the new global economy. A brilliant study of the interconnectedness of economic life with cultural life, Trust is also an essential antidote to the increasing drift of American culture into extreme forms of individualism, which, if unchecked, will have dire consequences for the nation's economic health.

Jonathon Keats

Why Fakes Are the Great Art of Our Age

According to Vasari, the young Michelangelo often borrowed drawings of past masters, which he copied, returning his imitations to the owners and keeping originals. Half a millennium later, Andy Warhol made a game of "forging" the Mona Lisa, questioning the entire concept of originality. Forged explores art forgery from ancient times to the present. In chapters combining lively biography with insightful art criticism, Jonathon Keats profiles individual art forgers and connects their stories to broader themes about the role of forgeries in society. From the Renaissance master Andrea del Sarto who faked a Raphael masterpiece at the request of his Medici patrons, to the Vermeer counterfeiter Han van Meegeren who duped the avaricious Hermann Göring, to the frustrated British artist Eric Hebborn, who began forging to expose the ignorance of experts, art forgers have challenged "legitimate" art in their own time, breaching accepted practices and upsetting the status quo. They have also provocatively confronted many of the present-day cultural anxieties that are major themes in the arts. Keats uncovers what forgeries—and our reactions to them—reveal about changing conceptions of creativity, identity, authorship, integrity, authenticity, success, and how we assign value to works of art. The book concludes by looking at how artists today have appropriated many aspects of forgery through such practices as street-art stenciling and share-and-share-alike licensing, and how these open-source "copyleft" strategies have the potential to make legitimate art meaningful again. Forgery has been much discussed—and decried—as a crime. Forged is the first book to assess great forgeries as high art in their own right.

The Science of Satyagraha

His Life and Message for the World 

Gandhi

Third Series

The Taming of the Shrew is unique among Shakespeare's plays and is a perennial and compelling success in the theatre. Its reception is marked, however, by ongoing polarised debate over the meaning and worth of the play. This edition disengages Shakespeare's exuberant and disturbing marital farce from the tangled history of its reception. It views the two sixteenth-century Shrew plays as textually independent but theatrically interdependent and so includes the full text of The Taming of A Shrew in an appendix.

While the Introduction and Commentary focus on the critical and theatrical debate surrounding the play, the original and comprehensive editing of the playtext makes available a 'different' Shrew, more open to the reader's interpretation than is usually the case. Barbara Hodgdon is a distinguished feminist scholar whose reading of the play offers a stimulating array of ideas and questions about this enduringly popular yet challenging comedy.
