A journey began to unfold when Tadashi Kanzawa turned heads at the local zoo in Japan. Dozens of animals began falling to the ground and entering a comfortable slumber before the waving of his hand. Kanzawa has since been featured on television shows and news channels throughout the world: at one point even becoming a "Stan Lee's Superhuman" when featured on the History Channel. Traveling through Japan, Russia, and even Africa, Kanzawa writes about his experiences with each of the animals he encounters. However, at the heart of the seemingly miraculous is not magic, but a greater understanding. Tadashi does not claim to be unique and is instead on a greater mission to use what he has learned to help awaken the healing nervous system in others to promote health and eliminate sickness in the aging societies of the modern world. Similar to how he relaxes animals from a distance, Tadashi explains that through the study of Kiryo, one's nervous system can be further vitali...

Michelangelo's (1475 1564) "Taddei Tondo," in the collection of the Royal Academy in London, offers a fascinating insight into the master's technical and experimental skill. Joshua Reynolds, the Academy's first president, considered that Michelangelo represented everything that an artist should aspire to, combining technical brilliance with sublime poetical imagination, and the Tondo shows this in scintillating relief. Expertly researched and written by the renowned Renaissance art historian Alison Cole, this book moves through the life of the "Tondo," from Michelangelo's rivalry with Leonardo to the marble's arrival at the Royal Academy and its use in the RA Schools. Finishing with a fresh look at the Tondo's role in revealing Michelangelo's technical experimentalism, Cole explores the importance of finish and what constitutes a finished work of art. Lavishly illustrated and including new photos of the Tondo, this is an enriching e...

Based on ethnographic observations and interviews with prisoners, correctional officers, and civilian staff conducted in solitary confinement units, Way Down in the Hole explores the myriad ways in which daily, intimate interactions between those locked up twenty-four hours a day and the correctional officers charged with their care, custody, and control produce and reproduce hegemonic racial ideologies. Smith and Hattery explore the outcome of building prisons in rural, economically depressed communities, staffing them with white people who live in and around these communities, filling them with Black and brown bodies from urban areas and then designing the structure of solitary confinement units such that the most private, intimate daily bodily functions take place in very public ways. Under these conditions, it shouldn't be surprising, but is rarely considered, that such daily interactions produce and reproduce white racial resentment among many correctional officers and fuel th...

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Witches of East End and the Descendants series comes the love story of young Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler. 1777. Albany, New York. As battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, servants flutter about preparing for one of New York society's biggest events: the Schuylers' grand ball. Descended from two of the oldest and most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of their fledgling country's founding families, and even prouder still of their three daughters--Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit; Peggy, with her dazzling looks; and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival those of both her sisters, though she'd rather be aiding the colonists' cause than dressing up for some silly ball. Still, Eliza can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George Washington...

In 1914 the City of Bradford was the world's leading manufacturer of fine woollen goods. On the outbreak of war, at the urging of the city's wealthy industrialists, thousands of young men rushed to join the colours and within a matter of months two volunteer Pals Battalions were formed. Author John Broadhead, the son of a Bradford Pal, tells the story of the battalions and the part played by his father, George William Broadhead, a Town Hall clerk from Batley. The author's research was inspired by his father's diary of 1916 which he handed to the author shortly before his death in 1980 saying, 'Here lad you might be interested in this'. Like many old soldiers he rarely spoke about the war but the diary and the author's use of official records, newspaper reports and memoirs reveal the stark horror of what faced the nation's youth. Few of the original Pals survived the war but George Broadhead's luck held. In 1918 he married a French gi...
