Have you ever wondered about Earth energies, ley lines, portals, sacred sites, and the conscious relation between Gaia and humanity? If so, then this is definitely the book for you. Australian author and naturalist Monika Muranyi has compiled every-thing that Kryon, the great magnetic master channeled by Lee Carroll, has ever shared about Gaia! For more than 23 years, the loving messages of Kryon have been shared worldwide. This book represents an amazing compilation of research that covers many topics never before published by Kryon. Monika's personal experiences and insights weave together the Kryon teachings and wisdom to present a very unique picture of our origins, why we are here, and how we can now grow in a conscious, symbiotic relation with our planet and also open to our star family. This first-time ever compilation of quintessential Kryon teachings includes fascinating new material. We have here a grand perspective of all the love that brought us to this beautiful garden planet. Is it possible that the whole purpose of Gaia is to support humanity? Is it possible that Human Beings are not simply another form of mammal on a planet moving around the sun? Is it possible that the energy delivered from the vibratory rate of this planet is based upon what humanity does and this will actually affect the Universe? The answer is yes to all. So if that is the case, what kind of a system is in place that would allow such a thing to be?That's what we are discussing in this book. Kryon

Presented in conjunction with the September 2000 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, this volume presents the complex story of the proliferation of the arts in New York and the evolution of an increasingly discerning audience for those arts during the antebellum period. Thirteen essays by noted specialists bring new research and insights to bear on a broad range of subjects that offer both historical and cultural contexts and explore the city's development as a nexus for the marketing and display of art, as well as private collecting; landscape painting viewed against the background of tourism; new departures in sculpture, architecture, and printmaking; the birth of photography; New York as a fashion center; shopping for home decorations; changing styles in furniture; and the evolution of the ceramics, glass, and silver industries. The 300-plus works in the exhibition and comparative material are extensively illustrated in color and bandw. Oversize: 9.25x12.25". Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

From Francis AlØs and Ursula Biemann to Vivan Sundaram, Allora & Calzadilla, and the Center for Urban Pedagogy, some of the most compelling artists today are engaging with the politics of land use, including the growth of the global economy, climate change, sustainability, Occupy movements, and the privatization of public space. Their work pivots around a set of evolving questions: In what ways is land, formed over the course of geological time, also contemporary and formed by the conditions of the present? How might art contribute to the expansion of spatial and environmental justice? Editors Emily Eliza Scott and Kirsten Swenson bring together a range of international voices and artworks to illuminate this critical mass of practices. One of the first comprehensive treatments of land use in contemporary art, Critical Landscapes skillfully surveys the stakes and concerns of recent land-based practices, outlining the art historical contexts, methodological strategies, and geopolitical phenomena. This cross-disciplinary collection is destined to be an essential reference not only within the fields of art and art history, but also across those of cultural geography, architecture and urban planning, environmental history, and landscape studies.

"The great nineteenth-century American landscape paintings - panoramic visions of natural design - have long been interpreted as expressions of the very spirit of national expansionism. Surveying American landscape art in light of its political, institutional, and cultural history from the 1820s through the post-Civil War era, Angela Miller profoundly alters our understanding of the genre. In this richly illustrated volume, she shows how landscape paintings, beyond reflecting the beauty and the power of nature, served as a medium through which disquieting questions concerning the future of the new republic could be raised symbolically." "Making use of a wide array of sources including diaries, letters, travel writings, criticism, and essays, Miller illuminates the meaning of landscape images for nineteenth-century viewers. She reassesses the ideological influence of Thomas Cole on successive generations of artists and reinterprets the new types of national landscape that emerged among New York-based painters beginning in the 1840s. Miller offers fresh analyses of such key works as Cole's View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts (The Oxbow) (1836), Asher B. Durand's Progress (1853), John Frederick Kensett's White Mountains - Mount Washington (1851), Frederic Church's New England Scenery (1851), and Sanford Gifford's Kauterskill Clove (1862). The cultural identity expressed by nationalist landscape painting, she asserts, was marked by competing commitments to region and nation, by uncertainties over gender relations, and by the paradox of a nature simultaneously invested with spiritual values and used to underwrite an ideology of progress." "Enhanced by eight color plates and sixty-four black-and-white reproductions, The Empire of the Eye represents a major contribution to American cultural studies and the history of landscape art."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

'The notion was to cut a crude V into the sprawl of the city, to vandalize dormant energies by an act of ambulant signmaking.' Walking the streets of London, Iain Sinclair traces nine routes across the territory of the capital. Connecting people and places, redrawing boundaries both ancient and modern, reading obscure signs and finding hidden patterns, Sinclair creates a fluid snapshot of the city. In Lights Out for the Territory he gives us a daring, provocative, enlightening, disturbing and utterly unique picture of modern urban life. And in the process he reveals the dark underbelly of a London many of us did not know existed. 'Quite simply one of the finest books about London ever written.' SpectatorCover art by- Stephen Powers'whether the book addresses graffiti explicitly, evoke a city from the past, or are considered cult classics, the novels all share the quality - like street art - of speaking to their time.'
