        The matter of miracles

        Neapolitan baroque architecture and sanctity

        by Series edited by Amelia Jones, Helen Hills, Marsha Meskimmon

        This book investigates baroque architecture through the lens of San Gennaro's miraculously liquefying blood in Naples. This vantage point allows a bracing and thoroughly original rethink of the power of baroque relics and reliquaries. It shows how a focus on miracles produces original interpretations of architecture, sanctity and place which will engage architectural historians everywhere. The matter of the baroque miracle extends into a rigorous engagement with natural history, telluric philosophy, new materialism, theory and philosophy. The study will transform our understanding of baroque art and architecture, sanctity and Naples. Bristling with new archival materials and historical insights, this study lifts the baroque from its previous marginalisation to engage fiercely with materiality and potentiality and thus unleash baroque art and architecture as productive and transformational.

        Tell Children About the Sanxingdui

        by Liu Xingshi

        The Sanxingdui Ruins are considered one of the most the greatest archaeological finds of China in the 20th century. Located in the southwest China's Sichuan Province, the ruins are believed to be the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom, predating the Xia Dynasty by 700 years or even thousands of years, dating back up to 3000 or 5000 years ago. What is the truth about this period of history and who built it? This is a mystery to the world. Liu Xingshi is a prehistoric archaeological researcher, contemporary geologist, science popularization writer, and expert in Sanxingdui mineral resources investigation. He wrote, at the age of 91, this set of humorous but professional books for children to guide them in uncovering the mysteries of the Sanxingdui Ruins from the perspectives of geography, archaeology, history, and human environmental science. Unlike the most books on the market focusing on the cultural relics unearthed at the Sanxingdui Ruins, including the surprisingly large number of bronzes and ivories, this unique set of books traces back to the ancient Shu civilization and explores how Sanxingdui people lived, including food, clothing, shelter, transportation, labor, and migration, as well as the hidden geography, climate, and environmental knowledge, which leaves infinite imagination space for children.
