Picturing Death 1200–1600
Picturing Death: 1200–1600 explores the visual culture of mortality over the course of four centuries that witnessed a remarkable flourishing of imagery focused on the themes of death, dying, and the afterlife. In doing so, this volume sheds light on issues that unite two periods—the Middle Ages and the Renaissance—that are often understood as diametrically opposed. The studies collected here cover a broad visual terrain, from tomb sculpture to painted altarpieces, from manuscripts to printed books, and from minute carved objects to large-scale architecture. Taken together, they present a picture of the ways that images have helped humans understand their own mortality, and have incorporated the deceased into the communities of the living. Contributors: Jessica Barker, Katherine Boivin, Peter Bovenmyer, Xavier Dectot, Maja Dujakovic, Brigit Ferguson, Alison C. Fleming, Fredrika Jacobs, Henrike C. Lange, Robert Marcoux, Walter S. Melion, Stephen Perkinson, Johanna Scheel, Mary Silcox, Judith Steinhoff, and Noa Turel.

Summary of Patricia Cornwell's Ripper
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On August 6, 1888, London was a carnival of wondrous things to do for as little as pennies if one could spare a few. The bells of Windsor’s Parish Church and St. George’s Chapel rang all day. Ships were dressed in flags. #2 Walter Sickert was a master of greasepaint and wardrobe. He was able to completely transform himself into someone else, and he was known for his bizarre hairstyles and clothing. #3 Sickert was a graphomaniac, and he would write so many articles for newspapers and journals that he would apologize to whoever he submitted them to. He would seek out major celebrities of the day, and would even spy on them. #4 It is believed that Sickert was in London in the summer and fall of 1888, when the Ripper began his bloody crimes. However, this is not true. He could not have murdered anyone if he were someplace else.
