Cave Paintings And The Human Spirit : The Origin Of Creativity And Belief

  • Cave Paintings And The Human Spirit : The Origin Of  Creativity And Belief
  • Attribution

    David S. Whitley
  • Publication Details

    Book, Prometheus Books, 2009
  • Description

    The magnificent prehistoric art discovered in caves throughout France and Spain raises many questions about early human culture. To grasp what drove these ancient artists to create these masterpieces, and to understand the origin of myth and religion, as Whitley explains, is to appreciate what makes us human. Far from being typical representatives of ancient religion, shamans were exceptions to the normal rule of early religion. Combining a colorful narrative describing Whitley’s personal explorations at key archaeological sites with robust scientific research, Cave Paintings and the Human Spirit makes for engrossing reading.

The Man Who Believed He Was King Of France : A True Medieval Tale

  • The Man Who Believed He Was King Of France : A True  Medieval Tale
  • Attribution

    Tommaso Di Carpegna Falconieri ; translated by William McCuaig
  • Publication Details

    Book, [American ed.], University of Chicago Press, 2008
  • Description

    Replete with shady merchants, scoundrels, hungry mercenaries, scheming nobles, and maneuvering cardinals, The Man Who Believed He Was King of France proves the adage that truth is often stranger than fiction?or at least as entertaining. From Italy to Hungry, then through Germany and France, the would-be king?s unique combination of guile and earnestness seems to command the aid of lords and soldiers, the indulgence of inn-keepers and merchants, and the collusion of priests and rogues along the way.
