Paperback. Zustand: New. This sketchbook is an exact copy of one of 'The Five's' sketchbooks of which Hilma af Klint was a founding member. Each notebook contains four drawings made by the group; the rest of the pages have been left blank for your own notes, sketches and drawings.In 1896, Hilma af Klint and four other like-minded women artists left the Edelweiss Society and founded the 'Friday Group', also known as 'The Five'. They met every Friday for spiritual meetings, including prayers, studies of the New Testament, meditation and séances. The medium exercised automatic writing and mediumistic drawing. Eventually they established contact with spiritual beings whom they called 'The High Ones'. In 1896, the five women began taking meticulous notes of the mediumistic messages conveyed by the spirits. In time, Hilma af Klint felt she had been selected for more important messages. After ten years of esoteric training with 'The Five', aged 43, Hilma af Klint accepted a major assignment, the execution of The Paintings for the Temple. This commission, which engaged the artist from 1906 to 1915, changed the course of her life. In 1908, Rudolf Steiner, leader of the German Theosophical Society, held several lectures in Stockholm. He also visited af Klint's studio and saw some of the early Paintings for the Temple. In 1913, Steiner founded the Anthroposophical Society, which af Klint joined in 1920 and remained a member for the rest of her life.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Apes that exchange things. That is what we are.At some point around two million years ago, we discovered that we could exchange one thing for another. Since then, humans have continued trading and exchanging things throughout economic history. Clever humans also invented capital, which we used to shape our whole economic system. In this information-packed, entertaining, eye-opening book, Kjell A. Nordström guides us from the collaborative origins of prehistoric bartering to Adam Smith's concept of specialisation. He shows how we have used our endless inventiveness to transform our planet into a colossal, pulsating bazaar, where everyone is trading with one another all over the world, around the clock.How did we end up here? And what does the future hold for our immense, complex global economy that has now started to appear vulnerable? Dr Nordström provides hope that we will find new ways to continue our endless trading and exchanging. New ways that involve and take into account nature, our other vital source of capital: not created by us, but crucial to our well- being.With The Monkey and the Money Kjell A. Nordström aims to demystify economics and money. By providing insight into human ingenuity and perspectives based on that ingenuity, Nordström helps us to understand and marvel at the vast, clever system that we call the economy.The book is illustrated by Patrik Instedt.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Sweden was perceived for a long time as a society characterized by equality, social cohesion and an ambitious welfare policy. With its independent foreign policy, it stood outside the great power conflicts. In recent years, gang crime and shootings have received a lot of attention in the media, a right-wing populist party has become part of the government and we have ended 200 years of non-alignment by becoming members of NATO. How has it changed the image of our country and ourselves?In this anthology, a number of writers discuss the image of Sweden past and present, both within and outside the country's borders. Svante Nordin writes about Sweden and Luther, Elisabeth Braw about the importance of Swedes living abroad, Mikael Wiberg about the technological wonder, Fraser Nelson about gang crime and Sofia Bard about Sweden's soft power. Per Enerud, Anna von Bayern and Nathan Shachar address the image of Sweden in Russia, Germany and Spain and Richard Swartz criticizes the decline of the Swedish language.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. This selection of Portraits gives pride of place to the secondary figures who make the wheels of history whir and thrum. They include Churchill's half-forgotten right-hand man, a leading light of the Parisian Belle Epoque lost to history, and an early space pioneer virtually unknown outside of his native Russia. History belongs not only to the popularly renowned but also to the other figures, the men and women who found their energies suddenly borne along by events or who made a unique contribution to the great debates of their time. Leading writers show us how these individuals shaped the world as we know it, examining their successes as much as their failures and delusions.In these portraits we find the dim traces left by interesting lives lived and conscientiously restore them, so that they gleam once more, bright and alive in the present.These 25 intruiging portraits are printed in separate booklets collected in a beautiful box.Contributing writers:James Barr, Gillian Clark,Armand D'Angour, Daisy Dunn,Peter Frankopan, Jessica Frazier,Laura Freeman, Lawrence Freedman,Maria Golia, Matthew Goodwin,James Hardie, Vanessa Harding,Rob Johnson, Paul Lay, Alexander Lee,Tim Marshall, Jenny McCartney,Rana Mitter, Catherine Ostler,Agnès Poirier, Andrew Roberts,Dominic Sandbrook, Graham Stewart,Andrew Wilton and Adrian Wooldridge.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. A sharp, concise guide to Russia's enduring split between East and West - and how this 'civilisation myth' still shapes its politics today.From the time of Peter the Great to the reign of Vladimir Putin, the question of what Russia's relation is to the West and to Western values has absorbed and divided the country. A similar dualism characterises another distinctive feature of Russian history, the relation between ruler and people. This concise, illuminating account highlights the swings in Russian history between stagnation and upheaval, oppression and thaw, reforms and counter-reforms. Many Russians like to regard their country as morally superior to countries in the West - a view strongly influenced by the role of the country's Orthodox Church. By outlining the main features of the Russian 'civilisation myth', Russian expert Bengt Jangfeldt helps us understand not only the history of ideas in this vast country but also what is particular about Russian politics and culture today.…
