At a time when the methods and purposes of intelligence agencies
are under a great deal of scrutiny, author Wesley Britton offers an
unprecedented look at their fictional counterparts. In Beyond Bond:
Spies in Film and Fiction, Britton traces the history of espionage
in literature, film, and other media, demonstrating how the spy
stories of the 1840s began cementing our popular conceptions of
what spies do and how they do it. Considering sources from Graham
Greene to Ian Fleming, Alfred Hitchcock to Tom Clancy, Beyond Bond
looks at the tales that have intrigued readers and viewers over the
decades. Included here are the propaganda films of World War II,
the James Bond phenomenon, anti-communist spies of the Cold War
era, and military espionage in the eighties and nineties. No
previous book has considered this subject with such breadth, and
Britton intertwines reality and fantasy in ways that illuminate
both. He reveals how most themes and devices in the genre were
established in the first years of the twentieth century, and also
how they have been used quite differently from decade to decade,
depending on the political concerns of the time. In all, Beyond
Bond offers a timely and penetrating look at an intriguing world of
fiction, one that sometimes, and in ever-fascinating ways, can seem
all too real. At a time when the methods and purposes of

This important new book offers an intellectual history of the 'arts
council' policy model, identifying and exploring the ideas embedded
in the model and actions of intellectuals, philanthropists and
wealthy aesthetes in its establishment in the mid-twentieth
century. The book examines the history of arts advocacy for
national arts policies in the UK, Canada and the USA, offering an
interdisciplinary approach that combines social and intellectual
history, political philosophy and literary analysis. The book has
much to offer academics, cultural policy and management students,
artists, arts managers, arts advocates, cultural policymakers and
anyone interested in the history and current moment of public arts
funding in the West.

The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Indian Aesthetics and the
Philosophy of Art provides an extensive research resource to the
burgeoning field of Asian aesthetics. Featuring leading
international scholars and teachers whose work defines the field,
this unique volume reflects the very best scholarship in creative,
analytic, and comparative philosophy. Beginning with a
philosophical reconstruction of the classical rasa aesthetics,
chapters range from the nature of art-emotions, tones of thinking,
and aesthetic education to issues in film-theory and problems of
the past versus present. As well as discussing indigenous versus
foreign in aesthetic practices, this volume covers North and South
Indian performance practices and theories, alongside recent and new
themes including the Gandhian aesthetics of surrender and
self-control and the aesthetics of touch in the light of the
politics of untouchability. With such unparalleled and
authoritative coverage, The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Indian
Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art represents a dynamic map of
comparative cross-cultural aesthetics. Bringing together original
philosophical research from renowned thinkers, it makes a major
contribution to both Eastern and Western contemporary aesthetics.

China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. In addition to an

This book offers a revealing look at the full scope of criminal
activity in the art world—a category of crime that is far more
pervasive than is generally realized. Forgeries, fakes, fencing,
and felony theft—all are pervasive problems in the world of art,
where the stakes are high, the networks wide, and the consequences
profound. In recent years, suspicious acquisitions, unreliable
provenances, and shady dealers have found their way into the
headlines as museums and private collections have been confronted
with everything from fake pieces to stolen antiquities to plain old
theft and vandalism. Crimes of the Art World captures the full
scope of this staggeringly lucrative field of criminal conduct,
showing how its impact reaches well beyond the walls of the museum.
Filled with fascinating stories of crime and greed, this revealing
volume looks at case after case of thefts, forgeries, fakes, and
illicit trafficking, as well as the political/religious
victimization of art, white-collar art crime, and vandalism. The
book examines each type of crime in terms of frequency, losses, and
characteristics of victims and criminals. Concluding chapters focus
on preventive measures, art crime investigation, and security
issues.
Hailed as "exhilarating and suggestive" (Spectator),
"thought-provoking and entertaining" (David Lodge, Sunday Times),
and "incisive and inspirational" (Guardian), What Good are the
Arts? offers a delightfully skeptical look at the nature of art.
John Carey--one of Britain's most respected literary critics--here
cuts through the cant surrounding the fine arts, debunking claims
that the arts make us better people or that judgments about art are
anything more than personal opinion. But Carey does argue strongly
for the value of art as an activity and for the superiority of one
art in particular: literature. Literature, he contends, is the only
art capable of reasoning, and the only art that can criticize.
Literature has the ability to inspire the mind and the heart
towards practical ends far better than any work of conceptual art.
Here then is a lively and stimulating invitation to debate the
value of art, a provocative book that "anyone seriously interested
in the arts should read" (Michael Dirda, The Washington Post).
Hot nickels is a book/ mood prepared as food for thought dishes.
Everyone is welcome to a plate of intrigue, passion, love and shoe
fly pie to dine from along with being a challenge for all to become
better friends, citizens and never forget the essence of the Harlem
Renaissance . Hot nickel.. is needed as much as the HR was in 1920.
Many of the respectable cultures and attributes across the world
are celebrated, however African American culture at times is
overlooked and not fted and embraced. Hot nickel... is not only an
attempt, but a haunting desire to commemorate the thoughts,
lifestyles and food dishes of African Americans poetically. Every
poem, abstract, story and haiku was carved, shaped and written to
stick to the ribs of the mind and soul. Every piece was prepared
for all to nibble, gnaw, sample, eat and digest in hopes of your
mind becoming fat and filling. Hot nickels & kool pennies:

celebration of triumph, pain and overcoming feelings of everyday
life in the worlds of all of us.
New York Times 'Best Art Books' 2020 'Essential' - Sunday Times
'Brilliantly enraged' - New York Review of Books 'A real
game-changer'- Economist Walk into any Western museum today and you
will see the curated spoils of Empire. They sit behind plate glass:
dignified, tastefully lit. Accompanying pieces of card offer a
name, date and place of origin. They do not mention that the
objects are all stolen. Few artefacts embody this history of
rapacious and extractive colonialism better than the Benin Bronzes
- a collection of thousands of metal plaques and sculptures
depicting the history of the Royal Court of the Obas of Benin City,
Nigeria. Pillaged during a British naval attack in 1897, the loot
was passed on to Queen Victoria, the British Museum and countless
private collections. The Brutish Museums sits at the heart of a
heated debate about cultural restitution, repatriation and the
decolonisation of museums. Since its first publication, museums
across the western world have begun to return their Bronzes to
Nigeria, heralding a new era in the way we understand the
collections of empire we once took for granted.

This volume of the Golden Age of Illustration Series contains Hans
Christian Andersen's 'The Princess and the Pea', first published in
May of 1835. This classic fairy tale has been continuously in print
in different editions since its first publication, with many, many,
different artists illustrating the story over the years. This
edition features a beautiful collection of the best of that art,
taken from the likes of Arthur Rackham, W. Heath Robinson, Kay
Nielsen, Honor Appleton, Anne Anderson, Edmund Dulac, among others.
This series of books celebrates the Golden Age of Illustration.
During this period, the popularity, abundance and - most
importantly - the unprecedented upsurge in the quality of
illustrated works marked an astounding change in the way that
publishers, artists and the general public came to view this
hitherto insufficiently esteemed art form. The Golden Age of
Illustration Series, has sourced the rare original editions of
these books and reproduced the beautiful art work in order to build
a unique collection of illustrated fairy tales.
