This book deals with the seminal surrealist. It explores Dali's
grandiose and grotesque oeuvre. Picasso called Dali "an outboard
motor that's always running." Dali thought himself a genius with a
right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head. Painter,
sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one
of the century's greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics - and was
rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of
the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis
to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with
extraordinary sensitivity and imagination. This publication
presents the entire painted oeuvre of Salvador Dali. After many
years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Neret finally
located all the paintings of this highly prolific artist. Many of
the works had been inaccessible for years - in fact so many that
almost half the illustrations in this book had rarely been seen.

This book provides an analysis of the forms and functions of
Holocaust memorialisation in human rights museums by asking about
the impact of global memory politics on how we imagine the present
and the future. It compares three human rights museums and their
respective emplotment of the Holocaust and seeks to illuminate how,
in this specific setting, memory politics simultaneously function
as future politics because they delineate a normative ideal of the
citizen-subject, its set of values and aspirations for the future:
that of the historically aware human rights advocate. More than an
ethical practice, engaging with the Holocaust is used as a means of
asserting one’s standing on "the right side of history"; the
memorialisation of the Holocaust has thus become a means of
governmentality, a way of governing contemporary citizen-subjects.
The linking of public memory of the Holocaust with the human rights
project is often presented as highly beneficial for all members of
what is often called the "global community". Yet this book argues
that this specific constellation of memory also has the ability to
function as an exercise of power, and thus runs the risk of
reinforcing structural oppression. With its novel theoretical
approach this book not only contributes to Memory Studies but also
connects Holocaust memory to Studies of Global Governmentality and
the debate on decolonising memory politics.

Following the success of A Dog a Day and Old Dogs, Sally Muir
returns with an adorable collection of beautiful rescue dog
portraits that will melt even the coldest of hearts. Several years
ago, Sally Muir began a Facebook project, posting dog art daily,
which became the best-selling book A Dog a Day. Through the
project she was introduced to endless people and their dogs, and
the distinct personalities and complex emotions that owners
attribute to them. This was followed with Old Dogs, where
Sally asked the public to send in photos of their elderly canines.
She was drawn to the tales behind their greying whiskers and so the
natural next step was rescue dogs with their eventful life stories.
Rescue Dogs is a beautiful collection of loveable hounds with
colourful histories and expressive faces. From Mr Bojangles who was
rescued after being hit by a car to Molly who found a new lease of
life after being rescued from a shelter at age 15, Rescue Dogs will
tug at the heartstrings and leave you with a profound sense of
optimism for life, new beginnings and kindness. This is the perfect
gift for your dog-loving friends, or for yourself to enjoy some
mindful moments flicking through delightful, heart-warming canine
portraits.
