Some fifty years before Chrétien de Troyes wrote what is probably the first and certainly the most influential story of the Holy Grail, images of the Virgin Mary with a simple but radiant bowl (called a “grail” in local dialect) appeared in churches in the Spanish Pyrenees. In this fascinating book, Joseph Goering explores the links between these sacred images and the origins of one of the West’s most enduring legends. While tracing the early history of the grail, Goering looks back to the Pyrenean religious paintings and argues that they were the original inspiration of the grail legend. He explains how storytellers in northern France could have learned of these paintings and how the enigmatic “grail” in the hands of the Virgin came to form the centerpiece of a story about a knight in King Arthur’s court. Part of the allure of the grail, Goering argues, was that neither Chrétien nor his audience knew exactly what it represented or why it was so important. And out of the attempts to answer those questions the literature of the Holy Grail was born.
El reconeixement dels artistes i de les seves obres és un tema central i recurrent en la història de l’art. Ara bé, les condicions de l’oblit a què alguns creadors són relegats hi tenen un paper igualment preponderant. Amb un enfocament que abraça des de la sociologia de l’art fins a la reconstrucció històrica, aquest volum recupera tant autors oblidats o poc coneguts com creacions que han perdut la fama que van tenir fa una centúria, entre els quals trobem un edifici ocult del centre de Barcelona, una personalitat del teatre del segle passat —que avui, malgrat figurar al nomenclàtor de la ciutat, pràcticament ningú no sap qui és— o un pintor ignorat que va formar part del cercle íntim d’una de les personalitats més prestigioses del país. El perfil dels artistes estudiats confirma la necessitat de reconsiderar el cànon de la història de l’art, alhora que matisa i enriqueix el recorregut d’altres de més reconeguts.

The Time of the Doves - by Mercè Rodoreda - is the powerfully written story of a naïve shop-tender during the Spanish Civil War and beyond, is a rare and moving portrait of a simple soul confronting and surviving a convulsive period in history. The book has been widely translated, and was made into a film.
The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].
