Renaissance Art
Botticelli, Holbein, Lenardo, Durer, Michaelangelo, who were these artists, why did they produce such memorable works, and how did the original beholders of Renaissance art view them? using vivid examples, this book focusses on canonical and lesser-known artists and works from the Northern and Southern Renaissance.
Renaissance Art: A Very Short Introduction
Botticelli, Holbein, Leonardo, Dürer, Michelangelo: the names are familiar, as are the works, such as the Last Supper fresco, or the monumental marble statue of David. But who were these artists, why did they produce such memorable images, and how would their original beholders have viewed these objects? Was the Renaissance only about great masters and masterpieces, or were "mistresses" also involved, such as women artists and patrons? And what about the 'minor'-pieces that Renaissance men and women would have encountered in homes, churches and civic spaces? This exciting and stimulating volume will answer such questions by considering both famous and lesser-known artists, patrons and works of art within the cultural and historical context of Renaissance Europe.

Trois de Trois is a book consisting of three short stories that focus on circumstances and relationships.

African American Old Home Remedies
This book is written for those who are interested in rediscovering and learning about some of the "Old Home Remedies" used by our grandparents and others who have gone before us: In the days of old, many had no other options when illness occurred, but to use herbs and natural remedies for themselves and those who came to them for the "cure". Herbs and other remedies were used also, to prevent illness and disease. The descriptive information is written mostly from my memory of my Grandmother, but even more so, from the memory of my Great-Grandmother, both of whom I have come to realize, played a very important role in who I am, and even more so, in whom I am becoming today.
