Boken Opus Incertum om Ulf Nilsen er på 304 sider. Den inneholder 180 reproduksjoner av kunstnerens malerier, tegninger og installasjoner. Boken har også portrettfotografier tatt av Morten Krogvold og fyldige tekster på engelsk. Intervju mellom kunstneren og Selene Wendt. En poetisk stemningserindring fra kunstnerens atelier av Steinar Opstad. En prosjektanalyse av professor Gunnar Danbolt. En analyse av kunstnerens virke av kurator Tone Lyngstad Nyaas. Ulf Nilsen er en norsk kunstner, født i Trondheim i 1950. Han har utviklet et poetisk billedspråk som karakteriseres av gåtefulle landskap, rikt fortettet med allmenne og kulturhistoriske referanser. Fra å arbeide med mytologiske temaer som f.eks. menneskets relasjon til de fire elementene, har han utviklet et billedspråk hvor ulike virkelighetsnivåer møtes og skaper et flerstemt billedunivers.

Årets vakreste kunstbok For første gang samles Elisabeth Werps arbeider mellom to permer. Leseren vil bli kjent med en kunstner som tidlig fant sitt språk, som hele veien har vært tro mot sitt uttrykk og som aldri har latt seg påvirke av trender i kunstmiljøet. Werps billedunivers beveger seg mellom drøm og virkelighet, hvor grensen mellom biografi og ikonografi er flytende. Boken utgis i anledning separatutstillingen ved Stenersenmuseet i april 2013. Tekst av Cecilie Tyri Holt og Gunnar Danbolt og Selene Wendt.

Schon bei Selenes Geburt wurde deutlich, daß sie etwas Besonderes war: sie besaß die Gabe des "Seelenfeuers", sie hatte die Kraft zu heilen - andere und, an einem Wendepunkt ihres Lebens, auch sich selbst.Im farbigen ersten Jahrhundert vor Christi Geburt wächst Selene bei einer Heilerin im Nahen Osten auf. Sie lernt die Anwendung der Heilkräuter, die Kunst des Schneidens und die Vervollkommnung ihrer Gabe. An ihrem 16. Geburtstag trifft sie Andreas, einen Arzt, und sie weiß, daß sie für immer füreinander bestimmt sind. Aber das Orakel spricht anders: Selene hat eine Prophezeiung zu erfüllen und ihre persönliche Bestimmung zu finden.Die Götter sind mir ihr, als sie durch die farbenprächtigen Länder des Mittelmeerraumes zieht und die wechselvollen Abenteuer einer Außenseiterin durchlebt. Sie ist besessen von dem Willen, ihre Heilkunst auszubilden, um allen Menschen helfen zu können: die Folge sind beschwerliche Reisen, Mißgunst und harte Arbeit. Bis schließlich ihr Lebenstraum, ein eigenes Krankenhaus, Wahrheit wird und Andreas wieder vor ihrer Tür steht ... Aber noch weichen ihre Widersacher nicht zurück."Unterhaltungsliteratur der Höchstklasse" (Booklist)

The Roman emperor Augustus gave his name to the age he dominated, from the latter half of the first century BC until the second decade of the following century. Yet he shared the age with several royal women who ruled parts of the Mediterranean world, in a symbiotic relationship with Rome. This book is the first detailed portrait of these remarkable women. Previous accounts of the period have centered on Augustus or Rome's allied kings, with scant attention to thewomen who ruled as their partners or on their own.The most famous of these is Cleopatra Selene, the daughter of the great Cleopatra VII of Egypt and her partner, the Roman magistrate Marcus Antonius. Her very survival following Roman victory over her mother's forces is itself noteworthy but she went on to rule Mauretania (northwest Africa) with her husband for more than twenty years. She even attempted to reconstitute her mother's legacy in this remote region and, like her mother, was an ardent patron of the arts and scholarship. Other womenof note included in this book are Pythodoris of Pontos, who ruled northern Asia Minor for forty years, and Salome of Judaea, the sister of Herod the Great, who, while never queen, exercised significant power for nearly half a century. These and others - Glaphyra of Cappadocia, Dynamis of Bosporos,Abe of Olbe, and Mousa of Parthia - were all part of the interrelated dynasties of the Augustan Age. Their values and attitudes toward rule directly affected the emergent Roman imperial system, and their legacy survived for centuries through their descendants and the goals of the royal women of Rome, such as Livia and Octavia, the wife and sister of Augustus. Assimilating all of the historical and archaeological evidence, Cleopatra's Daughter recovers these extraordinary women fromthe dim shadows of the ancient past.

In 1968, the Beatles went to Rishikesh, India, studied transcendental meditation, and wrote music. These intimate photos are the only record of their time in this sacred retreat. <p>This new edition of <i>The Beatles in India</i> brings intimate images of the group, taken at an ashram in Rishikesh, India, to a wider audience than ever before. No photographers or press were allowed at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, but the Beatles had no objection to fellow visitor Paul Saltzman freely snapping pictures during their time there. This unprecedented access resulted in an extensive collection of intimate photos of the world's most beloved rock band during one of their most serene and productive periods, only two years before the official dissolution of the group. <p>Containing a wide-ranging narrative by Saltzman--about everything from the story of how "Dear Prudence" came to be to George Harrison's description of the first time he picked up a sitar--this unique and exclusive exploration of one of the Beatles' most tender and bittersweet periods is a must-have for all fans of the legendary rock group.

Celebrated garden photographer Stacy Bass has long called daybreak her true muse. For her second book, the award-winning artist went behind the gates of a dozen private gardens in the Northeast to capture these incredible landscapes in the most enchanting light of day. She s curated the best images from each of these shoots into a volume filled with 200-plus color photographs. Gardens at First Light is one of the most spectacular collections of images in the nature photography category. With Gardens at First Light, Bass offers a rare and privileged glimpse of a range of stunning private retreats located in some of the wealthiest enclaves in the country. Her work showcases a variety of garden types, from those taking root along serene shorelines to others blooming in rolling hills near open farmland. The diversity makes for a rich visual mix. Some gardens are grand in scale and others are more modest, yet the landscape design for each took years to come to fruition. Bass s camera takes readers on an intimate tour of each property to tell the story of the individual gardens. She trains her lens on her subjects with the same care and attention that the gardeners lavished on their verdant flowers and foliage. Photos are accompanied by text from Judy Ostrow. This seasoned journalist who has been reporting on homes and gardens for two decades through work published in national magazines and books talked to the owners of each garden to learn how the landscapes gradually came to life. Their stories will strike a chord with those who have a penchant for gardening, nature and design. Gardens at First Light also contains an illustrated resource guide at the back of the book that offers additional information on the featured gardens. Hand-drawn sketches show a bird s eye view of each property, and photos reveal how the landscape elements identified in the sketches look through Bass s lens. Text presents insight on how the gardens took shape. The resource guide is to be used as a cross-reference for the book's main chapters. It's designed for readers who seek a broader understanding of the individual elements in each garden, and how they make up the whole. Though not a how-to planner, this section offers clarity and endless inspiration. This is the second volume of garden photography from Stacy Bass. Her first book, In the Garden, was published in 2012 and became a bestselling title in its category. The book received critical acclaim from major publications in the home design and garden industry. Gardens at First Light is a sequel of sorts, only this new volume has been designed to offer readers an even more detailed look at gardens that are one-of-a-kind."

Mooresy: The Fighter's Fighter is the life story of one of Britain's most-loved boxers. Not always an angelic teen and a product of the 'Salford Overspill', Jamie Moore was sucked into the slipstream of the thrill which came with car theft. At 15, his luck ran out after a helicopter police chase. Boxing turned out to be his saviour. Progressing through the amateur ranks, he turned pro in 1999 aged 20 and went on to become British, Irish, Commonwealth and European light middleweight champion. Known by many as 'Britain's most exciting fighter' Moore engaged in some epic battles, and was one half of boxing's Fight of the Year three times within a five-year period. Four shoulder operations and three brain scans prompted him to quit in 2010. He was snapped up by Sky Sports and started training his own stable of champions. Life was good. That life was almost permanently taken away from him in August 2014, after being shot at five times in Marbella. Despite having a bullet lodged in his right hip and constant pain to his left leg as a result of another bullet passing straight through his thigh, Moore does not dwell on his brush with death.His serene acceptance of life is inspirational as he remains a husband, proud father, former champion, trainer - and occasional actor.

The ultimate record of the work of a world-class photographer. Capturing the iconic, candid, and unguarded moments of the famous and the notorious."Terry was everywhere in the 60s - he knew everything and everyone that was happening" Keith Richards"Terry O'Neill rates rightly as one of the best photographers in the world. He captures something special" Sir Michael Caine"When it comes to photographic legends there can be few more prolific or revered than Terry O'Neill, the man who shot the greats." VOGUE"This sumptuous collection of portraits, taken over six decades, represents the best of his memorable career and should grace every coffee table in the land" The Daily Mail"I've been repeatedly asked to write my autobiography - I have seen an awful lot of famous people at their best and worst - but I'm not interested in making money trading their secrets or mine. I want my pictures to tell a story not sell a story." Terry O'NeillTerry O'Neill is one of the world's most celebrated and collected photographers. No one has captured the frontline of fame so broadly - and for so long. For more than 50 years, he has photographed rock stars and presidents, royals and movie stars, at work, at play, in private. He pioneered backstage reportage photography with the likes of Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Sir Elton John and Chuck Berry and his work comprises a vital chronicle of rock and roll history. Now, for the first time, an exhaustive cataloguing of his archive conducted over the last three years has revisited more than 2 million negatives and has unearthed unseen images that escaped the eye over a career spanning 53 years.Similarly, his use of 35mm cameras on film sets and the early pop music shows of the 60s opened up a new visual art form using photojournalism, to revolutionise formal portraiture. His work captured the iconic, candid, and unguarded moments of the famous and the notorious - from Ava Gardner to Amy Winehouse, from Churchill to Nelson Mandela, from the earliest photographs of young emerging bands such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones to her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace. O' Neill spent more than 30 years photographing Frank Sinatra, amassing a unique archive of more than 3,000 Sinatra negatives. Add to that the magazine covers, album sleeves, film poster and fashion shoots of 1,000 stars, and Terry O'Neill - comprises the most compelling and epic catalogue of the age of celebrity.

This book offers a comprehensive philosophical investigation of ignorance. Using a set of cognitive tools and models, it discusses features that can describe a state of ignorance if linked to a particular type of cognition affecting the agent's social behavior, belief system, and inferential capacity. The author defines ignorance as a cognitive condition that can be either passively (and unconsciously) borne by an agent or actively nurtured by him or her, and a condition that entails epistemic limitations (which can be any lack of knowledge, belief, information or data) that affect the agent's behavior, belief system, and inferential capacity.The author subsequently describes the ephemeral nature of ignorance, its tenacity in the development of human inferential and cognitive performance, and the possibility of sharing ignorance among human agents within the social dimension. By combining previous frameworks such as the naturalization of logic, the eco-cognitive perspective in philosophy and concepts from Peircean epistemology, and adding original ideas derived from the author's own research and reflections, the book develops a new cognitive framework to help understand the nature of ignorance and its influence on the human condition.

Time is every woman's most precious commodity - and a lack of it is the number one reason, in survey after survey, that women give for why they don't exercise. But research now shows that as little as 15 minutes of resistance training is just as effective in spiking one's metabolism as a workout lasting more than twice as long. All it takes is 15 minutes to achieve lifelong results - and women are more likely to stick to an exercise plan if it's chopped down to those 15 minutes. "The Women's Health Big Book of 15-Minute Workouts" is both an introduction to the fundamentals of short workouts and a comprehensive collection of hundreds of the most effective ones. These workouts have been designed for every fitness goal, from total body conditioning to targeting trouble spots with exercises like the "15 Minute Flat-Belly-without-a-Single-Crunch Workout". Other highlights of this title include: an eating plan with delicious meals that take 15 minutes or less to prepare; workouts for when you're stuck in traffic or travelling and can't make it to the gym; and, hundreds of tips from America's best trainers, nutritionists, and exercise scientists.

An examination of the myths of the Moon goddess and how she appeared to the original creators of those myths in ancient Greece.Waxing and waning and reborn with each new month, the Moon has always been the supreme symbol of cyclical change in the western world. Metaphorical representations of the Moon's goddess also seem to undergo similar changes, each new century reinventing her in its own image. For Hesiod, she was a distant figure in the celestial pantheon, to Keats she was an intimate muse; Selene's recurring role in music, literature, and song is a powerful testament to our continued fascination with her myth.A deeply erudite and meticulously researched survey, this book explores the perennial curiosity our closest orbital neighbor continues to instill, providing at once an unprecedented body of historical research and a critical armature for the author's lauded prose reverie Somnium. Despite the importance of the Moon to recent developments in esoteric scholarship and mythography, Selene doesn't attempt to present a "Moon-Goddess for the twenty-first century," but rather looks at the myths of one specific Moon goddess and how she appeared to the original creators of those myths in the literature of ancient Greece. In doing so, Selene marks the point at which classical scholarship comes closest to a physical embrace with its ethereal subject matter."An impeccable and flawlessly researched piece of classical scholarship."-Alan Moore
