Now available in a new edition, this opulent book reaches back 25,000 years to trace the history of jewelry from the Paleolithic Era to the present day. Drawn from the extensive holdings of the Staatliche Museen in Berlin, this collection of jewelry through the ages links cultures and eras to show how the design, wearing, and collecting of personal adornment has evolved over the ages. They range from classic items such as necklaces, rings and earrings to less common items with origins in non-European cultures. The book features jewelry ranging from the splendid crowns of ancient Greece, gold earrings from Babylon and jewelled collars worn by 13th-century Islamic royalty to more modern pieces such as those contained in the imperial collection of Queen Louise of Prussia, Art Nouveau jewelry designed by Rene Lalique, and work by contemporary designers. This chronologically arranged survey includes numerous brief essays and 400 illustrations with detailed captions, making it an ideal reference for anyone interested in cultural history, the history of jewelry, or the art and craft of jewelry making.
La industria deportiva se enfrenta a un nuevo reto provocado por las consecuencias de la crisis sanitaria derivada de la pandemia del coronavirus. El ritmo de contagio de la COVID-19 ha sido extraordinario por su rapidez, extensión y agresividad, sobre todo en determinados colectivos entre la población más vulnerable a los problemas de salud. La pandemia ha arrastrado a la actividad económica y ha golpeado tanto a la oferta como a la demanda de bienes y servicios, prácticamente sin excepción. Anteriores crisis económicas se cebaron en algunos aspectos concretos de la economía tal como se desprende del análisis retrospectivo de las hemerotecas. Esta, sin embargo, no es una crisis financiera, ni ha repercutido solamente en el sector inmobiliario. Afecta a todos. El sistema deportivo con todos sus agentes y, en definitiva la industria deportiva, en cualquiera de sus distintas cadenas de valor, ha visto trastocados sus planes de desarrollo y crecimiento. El deporte, de manera análoga a lo que sucede en el conjunto de la actividad económica, pasa por una época convulsa y singular, como lo es la propia pandemia.
