This beautifully illustrated work brings together more than one hundred objects from the J. Paul Getty Museum’s collection of European decorative arts. Included here is a generous selection of French and Italian furniture from the mid-sixteenth to the early nineteenth century. Masterpieces by André-Charles Boulle, Bernard (II) van Risenburgh, and others reveal the virtuoso craftsmanship that makes these objects such compelling examples of the furniture maker’s art. Many of the Museum’s finest pieces of porcelain, glass, and tin-glazed earthenware are also represented. Tapestries from Gobelins and Beauvais, bronze firedogs from Fontainebleau, and a lathe-turned ivory goblet of astonishing complexity from Saxony are among the other highlights of this handsome volume.

"If you're reading this, consider yourself lucky- you've stumbled across one of the best books ever written. Walter Staples has put so much wisdom and so many practical strategies for success into this book that it could have been three books. What a treasure chest for anyone serious about greater success and more happiness in every area of their life." Jack Canfield Coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul "This book has an important message-how to master the process of personal empowerment to help ourselves and others live fuller, more productive lives." Denis Waitley, Ph.D. Author of The Psychology of Winning and Seeds of Greatness "When you become master of your inner world, you become master of your outer world." So states Walter Staples in his new book. The author wants the reader to experience a spiritual awakening in order to develop a whole new sense of self, which affects every aspect of life. Everything is rooted in basic psychological principles, yet few people have been exposed to formal psychological education. As a consequence, most people live their lives without knowing who they really are, without knowing their true self. Everything necessary to find the true self comes from within: an open mind, curiosity, and ambition. This is the instruction book to use to achieve that goal. Dr. Staples is one of America's leading authorities on human potential and personal empowerment. An active speaker, he is the author of the international best seller, Think Like a Winner!, and Power to Win!, both published by Pelican.
