The da Vinci Legacy
For the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death comes an immersive journey through five centuries of history to define the Leonardo mystique and uncover how the elusive Renaissance artist became a global pop icon. Virtually everyone would agree that Leonardo da Vinci was the most important artist of the High Renaissance. It was Leonardo who singlehandedly created the defining features of Western art: a realism based on subtle shading; depth using atmospheric effects; and dramatic contrasts between light and dark. But how did Leonardo, a painter of very few works who died in obscurity in France, become the internationally renowned icon he is today, with the Mona Lisa and the Last Sup...

The Birth of America: The Incredible Story of the Founding of the United States as Told by the Maps of the Era
The story of the exploration and birth of America is told afresh through the unique prism of hand-colored maps and engravings of the period. Before photography and television, it was printed and hand-colored maps that brought home the thrill of undiscovered lands and the possibilities of exploration, while guiding armies on all sides through the Indian Wars and the clashes of the American Revolution. Only by looking through the prism of these maps, can we truly understand how and why America developed the way it did. The Birth of America illuminates with scene-setting text and more than 100 vibrant color images--from the exotic and fanciful maps of Renaissance explorers to the magnificent ma...
The Search for Heaven: A Historian Investigates the Case for the Afterlife

Written in the highly accessible style that made him a bestselling National Geographic author, and with a near-encyclopedic command of the material, Dr. Isbouts guides the reader step by step through the evidence, culminating in an actual tour through the "spiritual universe"-which, he argues, is actually our home base from where we came, and to which we will return.
