A wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art
history as you've never seen it before, from the host of the
beloved ArtCurious podcast We're all familiar with the works of
Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous
reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves,
and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his
cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed
unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale
of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's
pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own
hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how about
the fact that one of Andy Warhol's most enduring legacies involves
Caroline Kennedy's moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail
clippings? ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art
history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most
fascinating stories behind the world's great artists and
masterpieces. Through these and other incredible, weird, and
wonderful tales, ArtCurious presents an engaging look at why art
history is, and continues to be, a riveting and relevant world to
explore.

............................................ Some facts are
indisputable: Gravity exists. Indira doesn't like Jude. Jude
doesn't like Indira. Indira has everything together: an amazing
job, a boyfriend, a car. What more could a late twenty-something
want? Well, not walking in on her boyfriend with another woman, for
one thing. Her childhood enemy, Jude, has nothing together. Having
spent three years travelling the world to treat emergencies and
humanitarian crises, a quick trip home for his best friend's
wedding has him struggling to readjust. Thrust into an elaborate
(and ridiculously drawn out) wedding, Jude and Indira - who can't
seem to escape her ex and his new girlfriend - are both soon at
breaking point. Their solution? A bargain to be each other's fake
dates. But what happens when the forced proximity and fake displays
of affection start to feel a bit too . . . real?

"The fact of the matter is Joseph Kirkland was afraid. Afraid of
not being Saved. Afraid of being Saved. Afraid of the
transformation that would occur the moment he uttered those words,
Jesus! God! I want you to come into my heart!" Blessed Assurance is
a coming-of-age novel. It is set against the backdrop of a small
close-knit evangelical community in the fictional Scottish village
of Kilhaugh during a fog-bound December in the late
nineteen-sixties when the Cold War was on the brink of turning hot.
The story takes place over six soul-searching days in the life of
Godfearing dog-thief and pyromaniac, eleven-year-old Joseph
Kirkland, and his godless, devil-may-care best friend, Archie
Truman, as the perpetually guilt-ridden Joseph attempts to put
right what he believes to be the most terrible of lies. It is
peopled with colourful characters, peppered with moments of
tenderness, tragedy and occasional surreal humour. At its heart
though, Blessed Assurance is an exploration of family, friendship,
faith, loneliness and grief, and the compromises that sometimes
have to be made to remain part of our community.

Creatures Great and Small, Vet in a Spin, James Herriot's sixth

cows, both two-legged and four.

Welcome to another round of history's most absurd stories and the
timeless lessons that come with them. In More Lessons from History,
Alex Deane has unearthed yet more bizarre tales that you certainly
haven't heard before. If you're wondering how large, flightless
birds might organise themselves against a military regiment, how
you should respond to the glare of an international rugby player
whose glass eye you just knocked out, exactly why carrots are
orange, or whether the world's worst-run battleship ever ceased
firing upon her comrades-in-arms, then look no further. In this
second volume of his acclaimed series, Alex Deane reminds us that,
throughout history, human nature has remained exactly the same, and
the way that people responded to the most amusing, horrifying and
convoluted of circumstances in the past can teach us everything we
need to know about who we are today.
