In Art & Energy, Barry Lord argues that human creativity is deeply linked to the resources available on Earth for our survival. From our ancient mastery of fire through our exploitation of coal, oil, and gas, to the development of today's renewable energy sources, each new source of energy fundamentally transforms our art and culture―how we interact with the world, organize our communities, communicate and conceive of and assign value to art.

An original, illuminating history of the northern European Renaissance in art, science, and philosophy, which often rivaled its Italian counterpart. It is generally accepted that the European Renaissance began in Italy. However, a historical transformation of similar magnitude also took place in northern Europe at the same time. This "Other Renaissance" was initially centered on the city of Bruges in Flanders (modern Belgium), but its influence was soon being felt in France, the German states, London, and even in Italy itself. The northern Renaissance, like the southern Renaissance, largely took place during the period between the end of the Medieval age (circa mid-14th century) and the advent of the Age of Enlightenment (circa end of 17th century). Following a sequence of major figures, including Copernicus, Gutenberg, Luther, Catherine de' Medici, Rabelais, van Eyck, and Shakespeare, Paul Strathern tells the fascinating story of how this "Other Renaissance" played as significant a role as the Italian renaissance in bringing our modern world into being.

Собрание воспоминаний Лимонова о тех ярких фигурах, что встречались ему на пути. Среди них близкие и едва знакомые, знаменитости – Иосиф Бродский, Энди Уорхол, Татьяна Яковлева, Аллен Гинзберг – и люди не столь известные. Окидывая их судьбы холодным и отстраненным взором, Лимонов судит их – как и себя – со всей строгостью: «Мои требования к искусству очень высоки, мой жизненный цинизм остр, как опасная бритва». Обложки серии оформлены знаковыми портретами Эдуарда Лимонова, сделанными в годы написания каждой книги серии.
