Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book presents the Japanese art of Shunga and Bijinga from the mid 1700s to the mid 1950s. Shunga is Japanese for 'spring pictures' but means 'erotic art'. The translation of Bijinga is 'pictures of beautiful people' meaning women, commonly referred to as 'beauties'. There is a link between them, as both are sexual in nature, with many pictures being of courtesans, or women as subjects of desire. But there is a lot more to it than that This is not an academic book but more a personal journey of discovery by an accidental collector of Japanese woodblock prints. Bob Bentley informs, entertains and hopefully inspires like-minded fellow travelers embarking on similar explorations. The illustrations show a fascinating culture which thrived in the period when Japan was isolated from the rest of the world up to a time when the style and beauty of its art eventually exploded into the Western imagination. Bob has acquired a number of rare and original prints, as well as the more affordable, including re-prints, some almost as wonderful. The book is based purely on his collection - with delicate prints reproduced in high quality - imperfections and all. Many are exquisite works of art. This is a demonstration of the art that many people can acquire - at one level or another. Although there may be several hand made prints available of the same image, no two are identical. In buying prudently, you will see how it is possible to enjoy originals of the greatest artists, alongside beautifully crafted reprints. Here is a real passion, expressed in clear language, demystifying a culture that has provided the world with some of the most glorious art that has ever been seen. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book looks at the relationship between the Carbon Dioxide concentration in the atmosphere and the temperature of the Earth over the last 500 million years. It uses scientific data and explains without using mathematics how the Carbon Dioxide level is not directly related to global warming. It points out that the current CO2 concentration is almost the lowest it has ever been in the last 500 million years, and also shows that in previous long ice ages the CO2 level has been 5 times higher than it is today. A section of the book shows how CO2 is essential for all of life on Earth and the recent increase in the concentration has led to an increase in the vegetation cover particularly in dryer regions. Nevertheless, CO2 concentrations are currently at a near all time low and this is a major factor in the extensive desert regions on all continents. The book goes on to review the aims of the Net Zero agreement proposed by the United Nations and signed by at the Paris meeting in 2016. Thie measures now being implemented by some governments are already proving to be expensive and will lead to significant lifestyle changes for the entire population of the Earth. Yet the scientific evidence shows that we cannot expect the temperature of the Earth to be lowered by reducing CO2 emissions by human beings. The introduction is written by Professor William Happer of Princeton University.…
