Message inside the front cover - may be from the author - see pics. You will miss much of Italy's fascinating, little-known, hidden treasures unless you enrich your trip with the experience of Joe Reina, the son of Sicilian immigrants, and his encounters with Italy's hidden delights during his decades of business and pleasure trips. Most guidebooks and guides who lead tours provide you bare-bones historical facts, but they seldom can regale their tourists with insider's awareness of stories and events. Reina's travel-earned familiarity with landmarks and the artists who created them offers an insider's grasp of the famous personalities who built and artistically adorned "the glory that was Rome." In Milan, The Last Supper, which took DaVinci three years to paint, is hung with Donato's Crucifixion, initially painted in a church destroyed (except for one wall) by Allied bombers in World War II. The Last Supper is on your right as you enter, and Crucifixion is on your left. In Rome's Piazza Campo de' Fiori, sits Ristorante da Pancrazio, a waiter will lead you down a cellar to the remains of how the entire piazza was built atop the ruins of what was once General Pompey's theater, which could seat forty thousand people. In Rome's Piazza Navona, the seventeenth-century Pope engaged three leading sculptors to create the fountains, the first designed by Bernini, leading sculpture of his era. Bernini became incensed when Borromini was commissioned to build a church directly across from his fountain. In retribution, Bernini had his largest statue of a man lying on his side in the fountain; his hand outstretched directly at Borromini's church. Once both were constructed, Bernini sent his rival this "My statue will catch your church when it falls." Reina's historical information of tourist sites to visit and the best restaurants and hotels that fit any budget is invaluable.

When the original edition of this book was published, John Russell hailed it as "a massive contribution to our knowledge of one of the most fascinating and mysterious episodes in the history of modern art." It still remains the most compact, accurate, reasonably priced survey of sixty years of creative dynamic activity that influenced the progress of Western art and architecture. This new, revised edition has been prepared by Dr. Marian Burleigh-Motley. "As for the study of modern Russian art, a new era was opened up ... by the publication of Camilla Gray's pioneering work" (The Times Literary Supplement). "Not only an indispensable contribution to the study of modern art but also an illuminating study of modern Russia." (Hilton Kramer, The Nation). Has highlighted areas

Texts in Translation

Medieval Italy gathers together an unparalleled selection of newly translated primary sources from the central and later Middle Ages, a period during which Italy was famous for its diverse cultural landscape of urban towers and fortified castles, the spirituality of Saints Francis and Clare, and the vernacular poetry of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. The texts highlight the continuities with the medieval Latin West while simultaneously emphasizing the ways in which Italy was exceptional, particularly for its cities that drove Mediterranean trade, its new communal forms of government, the impact of the papacy's temporal claims on the central peninsula, and the richly textured religious life of the mainland and its islands.
A unique feature of this volume is its incorporation of the southern part of the peninsula and Sicily--the glittering Norman court at Palermo, the multicultural emporium of the south, and the kingdoms of Frederick II--into a larger narrative of Italian history. Including Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and Lombard sources, the documents speak in ethnically and religiously differentiated voices, while providing wider chronological and geographical coverage than previously available.
Rich in interdisciplinary texts and organized to enable the reader to focus by specific region, topic, or period, this is a volume that will be an essential resource for anyone with a professional or private interest in the history, religion, literature, politics, and built environment of Italy from ca. 1000 to 1400.

True Stories of Healing and Transformation from One of the Worlds Most Powerful Energy Centers

Renowned psychic researcher Dick Sutphen reveals everything readers need to know about Sedona, a hot spot of powerful cosmic energies that can call in spiritual visions, past-life experiences, and healing. “Sedona, Arizona—a place of awesome beauty and an extraordinary energy that is felt by every person wandering through its red-rock canyons. The first time I saw Sedona, in 1969, I knew this was a special place, not only because of its magnificent beauty but because of an undeniable spiritual vibration emanating throughout the area. Over the years I’ve become convinced, through my own experiences and the experiences of others, and through extensive research and investigation, that the psychic energy here is greater than anywhere else in the country.” Thousands of people have had incredible metaphysical experiences in Sedona, including direct contact with spirits, visions, and manifestations. Sedona lies on ley lines connecting to Stonehenge and other spiritual power places in the world, and is surrounded by four powerful energy centers, or vortexes, all within a few miles of each other. In this book, you will learn how the vortexes are charged and how they can affect you. You will hear firsthand testimonials from people who have explored the vortexes, and remarkable stories describing their profound, life-changing encounters. Complete directions to find each vortex are also included, as well as important warnings and safeguards you need to be aware of before exploring. You will learn how to test the energy, then activate and expand it to maximize the psychic potentials of your own vortex experience. Foreword by Colette Baron-Reid

People and Places, Past and Present

"More than 2.8 million people currently call Brooklyn home, and over the past few decades, the boom of art galleries, stores, and nightlife in this proud borough of New York has drawn visitors from near and far. Yet the fascinating mix of people, places, and institutions that define Brooklyn today existed long before the current cultural renaissance. In this profusely illustrated book, writers Grace Glueck and Paul Gardner provide a historic tour of the borough, from the Brooklyn Bridge and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge to Prospect Park and Coney Island. The reader is also introduced to the dynamic people of Brooklyn, from Hasidic Williamsburg to the African American community in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and some of its most celebrated natives, including Woody Allen, Spike Lee, Barbra Streisand, Mae West, and Truman Capote." -- amazon.com.

A Novel

What would it look like if you became the main character of your own life? Poppy Banks would rather be writing mysteries than listicles for her dead-end job at Thought Buzz. But after a series of rejections, she's ready to give up all her big aspirations and settle like her mom encourages her to do. The only person not ready to give up on Poppy's dreams is her aunt Margot, whom she has secret lunches with each year. But everything changes when her beloved aunt Margot dies and her last request is to have Poppy travel to her villa in the French Riviera. There, she'll discover her aunt has laid out an intricate plot--that Poppy can inherit her palatial estate and continue to host the prestigious writers' residency, The Colony, her aunt Margot founded if she finishes a draft of her novel within six months. Uncertain she can live up to her aunt Margot's expectations--and her own--she turns to her aunt's journals for solace. The brooding Oliver, who thought he was being groomed to take over The Colony, is none too pleased that Margot left her legacy to Poppy. And two tech bros would love nothing more than to buy The Colony from Poppy and turn it into a literary spa. Poppy has six months to decide what to do about the villa and discover if she has the courage to be the main character in her own fantastic life.

From 1850 to 1854, the ambitious Commander Robert McClure captained the HMS Investigator on a voyage in search of the missing Franklin Expedition, which sailed from England into the Arctic in 1845 to map the last uncharted section of the North-West Passage. The Investigator and her consort the Enterprise were to pass through the Bering Strait from the west but a Pacific storm separated them, never to meet again. Obsessed with traversing the passage, McClure pressed on and HMS Investigator spent three years trapped in pack ice in Mercy Bay before the crew abandoned ship on foot.
