'Mind expanding - this book will change your view of the world forever' Matthew Syed A blueprint for a better future. Playing on the phrase "a theory of everything" in physics, Michael Muthukrishna offers a unified theory of human behavior, culture, and society - a theory of everyone. Drawing on the most recent research across the sciences, humanities, and the emerging field of cultural evolution, he paints a panoramic picture of who we are and exactly what makes human beings different from all other forms of life on the planet. Muthukrishna argues that it is our unique ability to create culture, a shared body of knowledge, skills, and experience passed on from generation to generation that has enabled our current dominance. But it is only by understanding and applying the laws of life - the need for energy, innovation, cooperation and evolution - that we can solve the practical and existential challenges we face as a species. A Theory of Everyone attempts to provide solutions for how to solve the most pressing problems of our collective future, such as polarization, inequality, the "great stagnation" in productivity, and the energy crisis. Casting a bold and ambitious net, this is a must-read for anyone interested in a better future for ourselves and generations to come.

Edward Hopper's world-famous paintings articulate an idiosyncratic view of modern life. With his impressive subjects, independent pictorial vocabulary, and virtuoso play of colors, Hopper continues to influence to this day the image of the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. He began his career as an illustrator and became famous around the globe for his oil paintings. They testify to his great interest in the effects of color and his mastery in depicting light and shadow. The Fondation Beyeler is devoting its large exhibition in the spring of 2020 to Hopper's iconic images of the vast American landscape. The catalogue gathers together all of the paintings, watercolors, and drawings from the 1910s to the 1960s on display in the exhibition, and supplements them with essays focused on the subject of depicting landscape.EDWARD HOPPER (1882-1967) is the master of American Realism. His paintings captured life during his era. His method of painting rapidly became the stylistic foundation of a type of American modernism. A source of inspiration for countless painters, photographers, and filmmakers, his body of work continues to be influential to this very day.

The story of a group holiday from which no one emerges unchanged, Female, Nude is the perfect escape: propulsive, thought-provoking, sexy and relatable. 'Sharp and incisive with a sinewy, sultry quality that makes it really moreish' Pandora Sykes 'Energetic and ambitious...thoroughly enjoyable' Guardian 'I was engrossed...it's stylish and sexy and I loved the setting and all the food' Amy Liptrot 'What a gorgeous, hot-blooded novel about art, the senses, and the multitudes of the female body' Charlotte Runcie 'Magnetically written' Stylist 'Beautifully human...Romantic and heady and violent and sexy' Kirsty Capes 'Sultry and immediate' Sophie Mackintosh Sophie, a painter, is holidaying with friends in a stunning villa in Greece - her best friend Helena is shortly to be married, and this is the last time she and her friends will be together as single women. But life has treated them so differently since their university days, that Sophie is questioning everything about their friendship. Meanwhile her partner, Greg, is desperate for them to try for a baby, but she wants to devote herself to her art - and there are other, deeper forces, pulling the two of them in opposite directions. In the course of the holiday, Sophie paints a nude portrait of her friend Alessia, and becomes involved in an intense affair with Ky, who lives and works on the island. Both the painting, and the affair, will challenge everything Sophie thinks she knows, about art, about motherhood, about sex - and about how and with whom she wants to spend the rest of her life.

In the wake of the revolution of 1918-1919, members of the artistic vanguard formed the November Group, an alliance of self-described 'revolutionaries of the spirit' who made a radical break with traditional forms of art. In honor of the 100th anniversary of the group's founding, the Potsdam Museum has devoted an exhibition to this most prominent political artists' association of the Weimar Republic and to one of its leading figures, the cosmopolitan, painter, architect, and adopted Potsdam citizen Wilhelm Schmid. Schmid's years in Potsdam are closely associated with his early work, and here for the first time an extensive body of work from this phase is presented to the public. With its expressiveness as well as its affinity to the New Objectivity, Schmid's highly individual aesthetic brought him into contact with other avant-garde artists, whose creative search for a new formal language is also represented in the exhibition with an incisive selection of exemplary works.Numerous international lenders have made possible this dialogue between Wilhelm Schmid and artists including Georg Tappert, Arthur Segal, Moriz Melzer, Otto Möller, and César Klein.

This collection of Mamma Andersson’s latest paintings spotlights the beauty and mystery of nature and the erasure of time "What Mamma Andersson does in some of these pictures is on the one hand depict the illusions, the one thing which is another thing—masks; theater, statues, paintings—and on the other portray that which is only itself, potted plants, tree trunks, trees, landscapes. Everything is motionless, these rooms are located out of time." —Karl Ove Knausgaard, Mamma Andersson: A Storm Warning In a series of oneiric paintings inspired by interiors and the landscape of her childhood, the Swedish painter Mamma Andersson muses on the line between reality and illusion. She introduces thoughtful warm hues into an otherwise cool, muted color palette, lending an otherworldly feeling to the everyday scenes and subject matter that populate this new body of work, painted between 2020 and 2021. A companion to Sleepless and The Lost Paradise, this publication features a commissioned essay by Karl Ove Knausgaard, a meditation on childhood memories of carefree exploration and the portal art creates between the world we live in and the worlds Andersson conjures with her brush.

Michelangelo, like Leonardo, was a man of many talents; sculptor, architect, painter and poet, he made the apotheosis of muscular movement, which to him was the physical manifestation of passion. He moulded his draughtsmanship, bent it, twisted it, and stretched it to the extreme limits of possibility. There are not any landscapes in Michelangelo's painting. All the emotions, all the passions, all the thoughts of humanity were personified in his eyes in the naked bodies of men and women. He rarely conceived his human forms in attitudes of immobility or repose. Michelangelo became a painter so that he could express in a more malleable material what his titanesque soul felt, what his sculptor's imagination saw, but what sculpture refused him. Thus this admirable sculptor became the creator, at the Vatican, of the most lyrical and epic decoration ever seen: the Sistine Chapel. The profusion of his invention is spread over this vast area of over 900 square metres. There are 343 principal figures of prodigious variety of expression, many of colossal size, and in addition a great number of subsidiary ones introduced for decorative effect. The creator of this vast scheme was only thirty-four when he began his work. Michelangelo compels us to enlarge our conception of what is beautiful. To the Greeks it was physical perfection; but Michelangelo cared little for physical beauty, except in a few instances, such as his painting of Adam on the Sistine ceiling, and his sculptures of the Pietà. Though a master of anatomy and of the laws of composition, he dared to disregard both if it were necessary to express his concept: to exaggerate the muscles of his figures, and even put them in positions the human body could not naturally assume. In his later painting, The Last Judgment on the end wall of the Sistine, he poured out his soul like a torrent. Michelangelo was the first to make the human form express a variety of emotions. In his hands emotion became an instrument upon which he played, extracting themes and harmonies of infinite variety. His figures carry our imagination far beyond the personal meaning of the names attached to them.

Hired by a wealthy family to locate their teenage daughter, Sunny is tested by the parents' preconceived notion of what a detective should be. With the help of underworld contacts, she tracks down the runaway Millicent, who has turned to prostitution. Rescuing her from a vicious pimp, Sunny finds herself the unlikely custodian of a difficult teenager when the girl refuses to return to her family.But Millicent's problems are rooted in much larger matters than running away, and Sunny, now playing the role of bodyguard, is caught in a shooting war with some very serious mobsters. She turns for help to her ex-husband, Richie, himself the son of a mob family, and to her dearest friend, Spike, a flamboyant and dangerous gay man. Heading this unlikely alliance, Sunny must solve at least one murder and resolve a criminal conspiracy that reaches to the top of state government.

The painter Maxim Gunga is utterly unafraid of physicality. His canvas is a riot of oil paints huddling up against one another, fusing like the beasts, the humans, and the urban landscape of Berlin that serve him as motifs. Body and soul, animal nature and architecture, the profane and the sacred, subculture and mass culture-everything interpenetrates in Gunga's paintings in large formats, melded into hybrid bodies. The result is an ecstatic intimacy, a flowing of colors and more or less abstracted dynamic forms toward their primal state, toward the matrix, toward pure energy: eternal transformation. It makes sense, then, that his pictures also amalgamate diverse styles and periods in the history of painting. He borrows from (Neo-)Expressionism, from Art Brut, from Baselitz, Lüpertz, the Neue Wilde, from modernism and Fauvism, from van Gogh and Matisse. His pinpoint brushwork, which reveals his extensive training, interweaves art history with our contemporary lifeworld and our affects. All the specters of the past and the present come to meet us in the pictures gathered in this catalogue, in a frenzy of the senses, in the primordial soup of Berlin, into which we dive with joyful abandon., Maxim Gunga ist in der Malerei frei von Berührungsängsten. Auf seiner Leinwand schmiegen sich die Ölfarben hemmungslos aneinander, verschmelzen, so wie die Tiere, die Menschen und die Stadtlandschaft Berlins, die ihm als Motive dienen. Körper und Seele, Tierisch-Natürliches und Architektur, Profanes und Heiliges, Sub- und Massenkultur - alles durchdringt sich gegenseitig in Gungas großformatigen Gemälden, uniert zu hybriden Körpern. Das Ergebnis ist eine ekstatische Intimität, ein Fluss aus Farben und mehr oder minder abstrahierten, dynamischen Formen hin zum Urzustand, zum Biotop, zur puren Energie: ewiger Wandel. Konsequenterweise amalgamieren in seinen Bildern auch verschiedene Stile und Epochen der Malerei. Er lehnt sich an am (Neo-)Expressionismus, an der Art Brut, an Baselitz, Lüpertz, den Neuen Wilden, an der Moderne, am Fauvismus, an van Gogh und Matisse. Die Kunstgeschichte verbindet sich über seinen präzisen, geschulten Pinselduktus mit unserer heutigen Lebenswelt und unseren Affekten. Auf sämtliche Geister der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart treffen wir in den Bildern dieses Katalogs, in einem Rausch der Sinne, in der Ursuppe Berlin, in die wir freudig eintauchen.

„Fertig machen muss es dann die menschliche Hand.“ – Albert Oehlen Albert Oehlens (geb. 1954 in Krefeld; lebt und arbeitet in Gais, La Palma, und Los Angeles) erste Computerbilder entstanden mit Hilfe eines 1990 gekauften Notebooks. Auf diesem entwickelte er Zeichnungen, die er in verschiedenen Serien seit den 1990er-Jahren auf die Leinwand übertrug. Die von der Technik diktierte und eingeschränkte Pixel-Ästhetik mit ihren Treppen- und Klötzcheneffekten wurde zu einem folgenreichen Ausgangspunkt für einen Werkkomplex, der zwischen kühler Kargheit und wuchernder Formenvielfalt oszilliert und angesichts aktueller Diskussionen um die Anwendung künstlicher Intelligenz in der Kunst hochaktuell erscheint. Die Publikation Computerbilder erscheint anlässlich der Ausstellung in der Hamburger Kunsthalle und dokumentiert den gleichnamigen und bislang äußerst selten gezeigten Werkkomplex Albert Oehlens. Mit einem Essay des Direktors Alexander Klar. “Finishing it is then the job of the human hand.”—Albert Oehlen Albert Oehlen’s (b. Krefeld, 1954; lives and works between Gais, La Palma, and Los Angeles) first Computer Paintings were made with the assistance of a notebook computer he had bought in 1990. The painter used it to sketch initial drawings he then transferred to the canvas in several series beginning in the 1990s. The constrained pixel aesthetic imposed by the technology with its aliasing and block effects became a consequential point of departure for a strand in his oeuvre that veers between cool austerity and a proliferating diversity of forms. It seems more relevant than ever in light of today’s debates around the use of artificial intelligence in art. The publication Computer Paintings accompanies the exhibition at Hamburger Kunsthalle and documents the eponymous body of work by Albert Oehlen, which has rarely been on public view. With an essay by the director Alexander Klar.

This audiobook narrated by Anthony Abraham Jack reveals the entrenched inequities that harm our most vulnerable students and what colleges can do to help them excelElite colleges are boasting unprecedented numbers with respect to diversity, with some schools admitting their first majority-minority classes. But when the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and racial unrest gripped the world, schools scrambled to figure out what to do with the diversity they so fervently recruited. And disadvantaged students suffered. Class Dismissed exposes how woefully unprepared colleges were to support these students and shares their stories of how they were left to weather the storm alone and unprotected.Drawing on the firsthand experiences of students from all walks of life at elite colleges, Anthony Abraham Jack reveals the out-of-sight and unequal worlds students navigated before and during the pandemic closures and upon their return to campus. He shows how COVID-19 exacerbated the very inequalities that universities ignored or failed to address long before campus closures. Jack examines how students dealt with the disruptions caused by the pandemic, how they navigated social unrest, and how they grappled with problems of race both on campus and off.A provocative and much-needed book, Class Dismissed paints an intimate and unflinchingly candid portrait of the challenges of undergraduate life for disadvantaged students even in the elite schools that invest millions to diversify their student body. Moreover, Jack offers guidance on how to make students' path to graduation less treacherous—guidance colleges would be wise to follow.

'Breathtaking' - Haruki Murakami, author of Norwegian Wood A New York Times 'Notable Book of the Year' and one of Elena Ferrante's 'Top 40 Books by Female Authors'. On a hot summer's day in a poor suburb of Tokyo we meet three women: thirty-year-old Natsuko, her older sister Makiko, and Makiko's teenage daughter Midoriko. Makiko, an ageing hostess despairing the loss of her looks, has travelled to Tokyo in search of breast enhancement surgery. She's accompanied by her daughter, who has recently stopped speaking, finding herself unable to deal with her own changing body and her mother's self-obsession. Her silence dominates Natsuko's rundown apartment, providing a catalyst for each woman to grapple with their own anxieties and their relationships with one another. Eight years later, we meet Natsuko again. She is now a writer and finds herself on a journey back to her native city, returning to memories of that summer and her family's past as she faces her own uncertain future. In Breasts and Eggs Mieko Kawakami paints a radical and intimate portrait of contemporary working class womanhood in Japan, recounting the heartbreaking journeys of three women in a society where the odds are stacked against them.

An atmospheric and gothic debut rooted in Scotland ’ s Outer Hebrides, this dual-timeline historical mystery follows a woman who uncovers a hidden skeleton on her family’s remote island estate, unraveling ancestral secrets and the mystery of its long-forgotten occupants. Following the death of her last living relative, Hetty Deveraux leaves London and her strained relationship behind for Muirlan, her ancestral home in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. She intends to renovate the ruinous house into a hotel, but the shocking discovery of human remains brings her ambitious restoration plans to an abrupt halt before they even begin. Few physical clues are left to identify the body, but one thing is certain: this person did not die a natural death. Hungry for answers, Hetty discovers that Muirlan was once the refuge of her distant relative Theo Blake, the acclaimed painter and naturalist who brought his new bride, Beatrice, there in 1910. Yet ancient gossip and a handful of leads reveal that their marriage was far from perfect; Beatrice eventually vanished from the island, never to return, and Theo withdrew from society, his paintings becoming increasingly dark and disturbing. What happened between them has remained a mystery, but as Hetty listens to the locals and studies the masterful paintings produced by Theo during his short-lived marriage, she begins unraveling ancestral secrets that still echo through the island’s close-knit community. In this dual-timeline historical mystery, the impact of the past on the present slowly unfolds in a narrative rich with gothic undertones and emotional depth.

A fascinating look at India's remarkable impact on Western culture, this eye-opening popular history shows how the ancient philosophy of Vedanta and the mind-body methods of Yoga have profoundly affected the worldview of millions of Americans and radically altered the religious landscape. What exploded in the 1960s, following the Beatles trip to India for an extended stay with their new guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, actually began more than two hundred years earlier, when the United States started importing knowledge--as well as tangy spices and colorful fabrics--from Asia. The first translations of Hindu texts found their way into the libraries of John Adams and Ralph Waldo Emerson. From there the ideas spread to Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and succeeding generations of receptive Americans, who absorbed India's "science of consciousness" and wove it into the fabric of their lives. Charismatic teachers like Swami Vivekananda and Paramahansa Yogananda came west in waves, prompting leading intellectuals, artists, and scientists such as Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell, Allen Ginsberg, J. D. Salinger, John Coltrane, Dean Ornish, and Richard Alpert, aka Ram Dass, to adapt and disseminate what they learned from them. The impact has been enormous, enlarging our current understanding of the mind and body and dramatically changing how we view ourselves and our place in the cosmos. Goldberg paints a compelling picture of this remarkable East-to-West transmission, showing how it accelerated through the decades and eventually moved from the counterculture into our laboratories, libraries, and living rooms. Now physicians and therapists routinely recommend meditation, words like karma and mantra are part of our everyday vocabulary, and Yoga studios are as ubiquitous as Starbuckses. The insights of India's sages permeate so much of what we think, believe, and do that they have redefined the meaning of life for millions of Americans-and continue to do so every day. Rich in detail and expansive in scope, American Veda shows how we have come to accept and live by the central teaching of Vedic wisdom: "Truth is one, the wise call it by many names."
