Book of Beasts by Elizabeth Morrison Pdf

A celebration of the visual contributions of the bestiary--one of the most popular types of illuminated books during the Middle Ages--and an exploration of its lasting legacy. Brimming with lively animals both real and fantastic, the bestiary was one of the great illuminated manuscript traditions of the Middle Ages. Encompassing imaginary creatures such as the unicorn, siren, and griffin; exotic beasts including the tiger, elephant, and ape; as well as animals native to Europe like the beaver, dog, and hedgehog, the bestiary is a vibrant testimony to the medieval understanding of animals and their role in the world. So iconic were the stories and images of the bestiary that its beasts essentially escaped from the pages, appearing in a wide variety of manuscripts and other objects, including tapestries, ivories, metalwork, and sculpture. With over 270 color illustrations and contributions by twenty-five leading scholars, this gorgeous volume explores the bestiary and its widespread influence on medieval art and culture as well as on modern and contemporary artists like Pablo Picasso and Damien Hirst. Published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center May 14 to August 18, 2019.

Rendezvous: Forbidden Land of the 'Nicobar Islands' by HPS Virk Pdf

Rendezvous: The Forbidden Land of the Nicobar Islands takes the reader on a tour through the isolated and exotic Nicobar Islands, a rare treat as the islands even today are difficult to access and visitors are restricted. This group of islands, an archipelago in the Bay of Bengal, is rich in rainforests, sandy beaches, marine life, bird life and home to a mix of human cultures, including little known indigenous groups. Between 1982 to 1985 the author served as police chief of the Nicobar Islands. In this position he travelled extensively throughout the islands and came to know tribal chiefs, tribal customs and participated in tribal celebrations. A keen observer of human nature the author delivers an insider’s view of life in the police service dealing with poaching on the high seas, rogue crocodiles, and the absurdities of bureaucracy and officialdom. He brings a naturalist’s sensitivity to his observations of the diverse bird life, marine life and geography of the archipelago. Told through a lively set of stories, these recollections are a valuable snapshot of the time and will be of interest to naturalists, historians, anthropologists and, of course, armchair travellers.

The Forbidden Territory of A Terrifying Woman by Molly Lynch Pdf

Fates and Furies meets Melancholia in this ominous and absorbing debut novel about marriage and motherhood in a time of ecological collapse, as mothers around the world begin to mysteriously vanish from their homes Ada—a woman from Montreal living reluctantly in Michigan—vanishes from her bed one night while her husband Danny is asleep beside her, her young son, Gilles, in the next room. Desperate to locate Ada before Gilles understands what has happened, Danny begins a search. But the feds are already involved: across the country and around the world, mothers are vanishing from their homes. Where did Ada go? What has she gone through? And how does the mystery relate to the forest that she seemed magnetically drawn to? Confronting the role of motherhood and the meaning of home in the wreckage of capitalism and climate change, The Forbidden Territory of a Terrifying Woman is that rare, dazzling debut that is both thrilling and profound. It is a mystery, a play on myths of metamorphosis, and above all, a story of love—between husband and wife, mother and child—deeply troubled by the future we face.
