This inability to adapt is considered to be a driver that motivates local residents to find “greener pastures” through migration. Further the book discusses the increasing need for the implementation and utilization of non-polluting renewables for use in energy production as a means to stave off environmental crises.

Image and Imagination in Byzantine Art The twelve studies contained in this second collection by Henry Maguire are linked together by a common theme namely the relationship of Byzantine art to the imaginary. They show how art enabled the Byzantines not only to imagine the sacred events of the past but also to visualize the invisible present by manifesting the spiritual world that they could not see. The articles are grouped around the following five topics: the depiction of nature by the Byzantines before and after iconoclasm especially in portrayals of the earthly and the spiritual Paradise; the social functions and theological significance of classical artistic forms in Byzantine art after iconoclasm; the association between rhetoric and the visual arts in Byzantium especially in contrast to the role played by liturgical drama in western medieval art; the relationship of the visual arts to Byzantine concepts of justice and the law both human and divine; and portrayals of the two Byzantine courts the imperial court on earth and the imagined court in heaven. The papers cover a wide range of media including floor and wall mosaics paintings in manuscripts and churches ivory carvings coins and enamel work. | Image and Imagination in Byzantine Art GBP 48.99 1

Images of Children in Byzantium This book covers a subject that has never previously been addressed and yet it is both a fascinating and a provocative one: the representation of children in Byzantium. The visual material is extensive intriguing and striking and the historical context is crucially important to our understanding of Byzantine culture social history and artistic output. The imagery explored is drawn from the fourth to the fifteenth centuries and encompasses media from manuscripts to mosaics and enamel. Part of the allure of this subject is that people do not associate childhood with Byzantium. Ernst Gombrich commented 'who could find it easy after a visit to Ravenna and its solemn mosaics to think of noisy children in Byzantium?'. However in Byzantium patrons of art were often young such as emperors who acceded to the throne as teenagers and makers of art sculptors mosaicists painters often began their training at an early age. How did this affect the creation promotion and production of art? The study questions the definitions and perceptions of childhood focusing on topics such as the family saintly children and those associated with imperial power. Cecily Hennessy demonstrates that children are featured often in visual imagery and in key locations indicating that they played a central role in Byzantine life something which has previously been overlooked or ignored. In tackling this new subject she reveals important aspects of childhood youth and by extension adulthood in Byzantine society and raises issues that are also applicable to the present and to other historical contexts. | Images of Children in Byzantium GBP 39.99 1
