Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

Newly revised and updated, this authoritative book presents the exciting, ironic, and often subversive work of Yinka Shonibare MBE, one of the stars of the international art scene. Born in London and raised in Nigeria, Shonibare employs a diverse range of media--from sculpture, painting, and installation to photography and film--to probe matters of race, class, cultural identity, and history. He is perhaps best known for his signature use of a colorful "African" batik fabric that actually originated in Indonesia and was introduced to Africa in the19th century by British and Dutch colonizers. Incorporated into Victorian costumes, covering sculptures of extraterrestrials, or stretched like canvas for paintings, these vibrant textiles cleverly challenge issues of origin and authenticity. This book--the most comprehensive resource available on Shonibare--presents the best work of the London-based artist's career, including his high-profile project for the Fourth Plinth in London's Trafalgar Square and other innovative public sculptures. Whether lampooning Victorian propriety or commenting on what it means to be an "alien," Shonibare makes art that challenges straightforward interpretations.

A Great Story The Chapters Fly By ...the reviews are in for the exciting debut of Kent Roberts' Christian suspense cycle: The Drifter Series. The freeway exit looked just the same as any others they'd passed in the last three hours. It turns out to be anything but for the Drifter, Nick Lassiter. A bomb explodes at the entrance of a popular women's health clinic. A young woman and the Christian organization she leads stand accused of the crime. Guilt and innocence play second roles within a community's need for vengeance, and only Nick Lassiter will stand between the woman and the restless crowd. But, in the end, will it even matter? Can life be cause for protest? Can violence be cause for redemption? "The Path of Judgment" is a story of conflicting ideologies and of a spiritual warfare that's as old as time itself. Welcome to the first book in the electrifying new Drifter Series
