Important Symbolist painters were at work in places as remote from one another as Munch in Oslo, Klimt in Vienna, & the young Picasso in Barcelona.

Edward Lucie-Smith`s important study throws light upon the origins of Modernism, & upon the development of painting & sculpture in the final years of the century. 185 illus., 24 in color. ...

Money has always been a subject of interest, today more so than ever. For centuries it has performed a key role around the globe most obviously in trade & the economy, but also in the development of national identities, religions & the spread of empire.

With a brief but informative biography of each of the currencies, it reveals where & how each originated, the various roles they performed, & how they spread, survived & changed over the years. Some may have fallen into disuse but they might also have been revived in new & unexpected forms, & in different locations. Charting the rise & fall of each, the book will look at how the movements, developments & designs of currencies can highlight broader themes of history such as the characteristics of empire, trade & migration & the personalities of kings & rulers & how they can be identified as barometers for the political fortunes of a nation. Packed full of facts & interesting stories, & thoughtfully illustrated with images from the British Museum & beyond, Symbols of Power is an illuminating account of world currencies & the crucial role they play in our world. ...

From internationally acclaimed YA author M. T. Anderson comes the true story of a city under siege, thrillingly told & impeccably researched. In September 1941, Adolf Hitler`s Wehrmacht surrounded Leningrad in what was to become one of the longest & most destructive sieges in Western history. After three years of bombardment & starvation, culminating in the bitterly cold winter of 1943-44, more than a million citizens lost their lives.
