'The day after my 35th birthday, I had a near death experience,
caused by a sudden brain haemorrhage. Ironically, this brush with
death became the conduit for the most powerful healing in my life.
I connected to an eternal light which, I came to realise, is
available to us all should we choose it. My wish for you in reading
this book is to feel this loving light, peace and joy in your life
now. The question is: how brightly do you wish to shine?' Roisin
Fitzpatrick In this ground-breaking book, Roisin Fitzpatrick takes
the reader on the remarkable journey of her near death experience,
and shares how we can all integrate the light and love of the
afterlife into our daily existence. In doing so, she lends fresh
insight into our ancient Irish myths and stone monuments,
connecting our past, present and future to this powerful eternal
light. Taking Heaven Lightly is a book to be cherished by all those
who wish to embrace and enjoy a meaningful life. 'A brilliant book
with an unforgettable message' Dr Chrisine Ranck, co-author of the
bestselling Ignite the Genius Within

Over the past half century, Marina Abramović has earned worldwide
acclaim as a pioneer of performance art. This handsome new book
records the first UK exhibition to include works from her entire
career. Re-performances of some of her best-known and most radical
works appear alongside new works created especially for the
exhibition. An augmented reality app for iOS and Android enables
readers to watch films of Abramović’s original performances
while reading the book. An essential purchase for all followers of
Abramović’s extraordinary 50-year career, this important new
publication brings expert voices into the debate that her
ground-breaking work engenders. How far should an artist push
herself in pursuit of her work? What role does the audience play in
creating a performance? How can performance art outlive the moment
in which it takes place?
The paintings are grouped under various headings to take the reader
through specific visual experiences beginning with some of the
artist's tools, colour palettes and showing the development of
texture. Seascapes and shorelines are the first stop, going through
to the moors,hills and beyond.
