What happens when a Leonardo da Vinci canvas, lost for centuries, mysteriously appears in a New York City gallery and becomes the center of controversy among New York's elite?

With echoes of "The Da Vinci Code" and "I Bought Andy Warhol," "Provenance" is an art history suspense novel that follows Sam Driscoll, an art expert and advisor to the massively wealthy and powerful, as he navigates a world where huge egos clash and everyone is looking for the next big deal. His journey takes the reader behind the scenes of auction houses, elegant parties, and on a quest to the Italian countryside, doggedly pursuing the truth through the murky story of how this painting surfaced in New York City---and whether it really is a Leonardo at all.

Greed, power, deceit, and crime nearly eclipse the beauty and magnitude of this rare painting. Ultimately, Sam must decide whether to stay in the game of buying and selling art for millions of dollars, or go against his clients' wishes and fight for the integrity of this work of art, its original owners, and its fate to the end---wherever that may take him.

Описание: Matilda and Her Magical Mat is a part story book and part instruction book on the miracles of yoga that's told by way of Matilda, a nine-year-old girl full of wonder and love who seeks not only adventure, but peace and calm. She gets both-and helps others-thanks to the special magic of yoga poses and breathing.

In this tale, our free spirit meets a young girl at the park whose nickname is "Wheelz." Wheelz doesn't think she can join in on the other kids' yoga because she is in a wheelchair. But Matilda and her friends convince the newcomer that yoga is just as open to her as to anyone, and Wheelz signs on for a wild, yoga-powered ride that delivers them all into outer space. By the end, everyone is thrilled to have taken the virtual trip-and to have had a new friend come along.

This simple tale-aimed at kids with a love for yoga and adventure (and at their parents)-has much to say about the calming capabilities of yoga. On this common ground, playfulness, creativity, peace, and laughter await....

Описание:

Philosophical reflections on journeys and crossings, homes and habitats, have appeared in all major East Asian and Western philosophies. Landscape and travelling first emerged as a key issue in ancient Chinese philosophy, quickly becoming a core concern of Daoism and Confucianism. Yet despite the eminence of such reflections, Landscape and Travelling East and West: A Philosophical Journey is the first academic study to explore these philosophical themes in detail.

Individual case studies from esteemed experts consider how philosophical thought about places and journeys have inspired and shaped major intellectual and cultural traditions; how such notions concretely manifested themselves in Chinese art, particularly in the genres of landscape painting and garden architecture. The studies present a philosophical dialogue between Confucianism and Daoism on issues of social space and belonging and include discussion on travel and landscape in Buddhism as well as Japanese and Tibetan contexts.

Approaching the topic from an inter-cultural perspectives, particularly East Asian philosophies, and using these to enrich contemporary reflections on space, the environment, and traversing, this unique collection adds an important voice to present philosophical, political, and cultural discourses.
