Описание: You are invited to enter the fantasy world of a "forbidden art," erotica, and to explore its many wonders. Over 500 color photographs of erotic artworks and artifacts are shown here, and most of them have not been published or exhibited previously. As you turn the pages, unforgettable images of love, passion, and sensuality unfold. Feast your eyes and mind upon sexual delights as you traipse randomly, back and forth, through many centuries, countries, cultures, artists, and mediums. The originality and imagination of the artists may expand, ignite, and incite your thoughts and senses. The author is a serious collector of art works and erotica, living in Florida.

Описание: David Hockney takes us on an enthralling intellectual and visual journey as he rewrites the story of how the great drawings and paintings of the last six centuries were created. He demonstrates for the first time how artists as far back as the 15th century used mirrors and lenses to project colour images onto flat surfaces and then captured these projections in pencil and paint. As well as being the presentation of more than two years' research, Secret Knowledge is an amazing detective story, as Hockney uncovers piece after piece of scientific and historical evidence, each one revealing further secrets of the past.

Описание: With a new preface by the author, this reissue of Thomas Sowell`s classic study of decision making updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Annointed , Sowell, one of America`s most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making,a gap that threatens not only our economic and political efficiency, but our very freedom because actual knowledge gets replaced by assumptions based on an abstract and elitist social vision f what ought to be. Knowledge and Decisions , a winner of the 1980 Law and Economics centre Prize, was heralded as a "landmark work" and selected for this prize "because of its cogent contribution to our understanding of the differences between the market process and the process of government." In announcing the award, the centre acclaimed Sowell, whose "contribution to our understanding of the process of regulation alone would make the book important, but in reemphasizing the diversity and efficiency that the market makes possible, [his] work goes deeper and becomes even more significant."
