The original and distinctive work of miniaturist Sally Wallace is for the second time featured in her new book, Christmas Emporium; and the book is as luscious as her work itself.  Working with some of the most talented specialized miniaturists in the world, Sally has composed an expansive and complete environment both inside and out, inspired by her love of Christmas and memories of years gone by when Christmas shops were as fun to visit as to actually purchase items.  The exterior has windows in stained glass, two nutcrackers standing guard over the front door and 25 small doors on the outside that serve as a very special advent calendar, among other architectural delights.   Every element of the interior, from 18 Christmas trees to tiny wrapped presents under them, I offer up an interior festooned with every detail from working toys to children gazing at them and ornaments to hang on trees-each lovingly placed in an elaborately appropriate room with all the architectural details and interior design exactly as it might be in "real life." This sumptuous environment is unique in all its facets and readers entering this magical entity for the first time will find the world of a unique talent, the result being a creative process so replete with extraordinary details that the reader him- or herself will wish that they, too, were 1/12 size.

Tyranny, dictator, authoritarianism:  Journalists are our contemporary historians, bearing witness to stories that must be told. The articles  they produce seize our attention and, moved by what we read, troubling questions come to mind. And where do they find the courage to protest their home regimes in the face of what is often overwhelming adversity and punishment by life in prison or death by a government or its leader? Moral Courage builds on this narrative by asking a different set of questions that to date have received little, if any, attention. What of the person taking on a regime single-handedly, often.  Why and what might they have experienced? The author has interviewed 18 of these amazing scribes and presents a profile of each that answers those questions.Each of the world's 18 preeminent journalists (including one of the profiles is of a duo who work together) interviewed by the author have names are often unfamiliar to the general public and work in areas of the world where the people are under duress by leaders that are authoritarian. Complementing each essay are iconic photographs which give a visual context to his thesis. The essays, derived from face-to-face interviews with the journalists give new and revealing insights into those factors, professional and psychological, that motivate these daring individuals to take on opposing roles to leadership and the consequences that come from exposure to grave danger. These may include grievous physical injury, PTSD, moral injury, and prolonged bereavement for colleagues lost. What emerges from these interviews and analyses is a different, unique appreciation of the world of the war and journalist in dangerous zones of political conflict.According to Rachel Maddow, attacking the press, or attacking any source of information, anyone or anything that can offer an authoritative credible perspective other than that of a “deal leader” has to be eliminated, as that is central to the “authoritarian playbook.”  Anthony Feinstein further maintains that we can see it happening not in just one country but all around the world, and the profiles here prove that, covering  journalists under fire in 19 countries worldwide, ranging from India, to Russia to Turkey to Syria to Mexico, Israel and beyond. This ground-breaking book by a singular expert in the field will stir interest in the essential work of the men and women who, armed with only a voice and a pen, venture into the world's most dangerous places.

To this day, mention the name “Andy Warhol” to almost anyone and you’ll hear about his famous images of soup cans and Marilyn Monroe. But although Pop Art became synonymous with Warhol’s name and dominated the public’s image of him, his life and work and worldwide influences are infinitely more complex and multi-faceted than that. And Phillip Romero, MD is just the person to explain exactly what that impact was and is and from whence it derives.In Andy Warhol’s Brain, esteemed psychiatrist Phillip Romero takes on Andy Warhol in all his depth and dimensions. The book is essentially a return to renowned psychiatrist Phillip Romero’s scheduled interview with his friend Warhol that never happened, as it was scheduled for the day after Andy’s untimely death. The book is both homage to Warhol for his inspiring friendship with the author and a platform for Romero to explore his thesis, “Art for Survival.” Romero here presents the extraordinary results of an agreement between the approaches to a topic of different academic subjects:  in this case science and the humanities.  It offers a unique and exceptional advance in thinking about artistry and intellect.Doctor Romero’s work as a family/child psychiatrist led him to formulate the concept of “Creative Intelligence,” which he defines as the effortful attention of the individual “mind” to recruit both these attributes to change oneself, to evolve social systems, and to sustain the environment to improve the quality and duration of human life. Romero found himself deep into researching the brain-mind/art-culture continuum of Creative Intelligence, and in doing so, his friend Andy Warhol presented a perfect example of the concept.  This book is an effort to integrate the life and art of Andy Warhol with the brain-mind/art-culture system that informs the evolution of human civilization. The struggle between Creative Intelligence and adversity exists within each human being. Romero uses Warhol’s life as a mirror to inspire the reader’s Creative Intelligence in reinventing themselves through the complex and challenging times we live in. In this groundbreaking work that comes from the unique perspective of a world-class psychiatrist and practicing artist himself, Romero  explains that for individuals, creativity protects us from our painful pasts and inspires us to create a better present for a more secure future. Creative Intelligence harnesses our inborn resilience and creativity. It is an ongoing mind-body process of effortful attention: remembering, reflecting, reframing, reimagining, reinventing, and reconnecting with oneself and the world.

When Sally Wallace--an accomplished miniaturist for more than forty years--visited Moscow with her husband, she fell in love with the onion domes and architecture of St. Basil's Cathedral and traveled home with the idea to recreate it in miniature. Now, in her new book A Russian Fantasy, Wallace takes readers on a tour of the miniature inspired by St. Basil's, her most ambitious to date. Within these pages, photos show the detailed exterior which replicates the cathedral, a Russian Orthodox church in Red Square built in the sixteenth century, while the interior reveals an entirely original design, complete with a museum, a workshop, an astronomical observatory, and living quarters. A tribute to all of the artisans who contributed their work, this photo journal documents the elaborate craftsmanship that brings the miniature to life.
