Whether it glows lustrously from neon, emanates purely from LEDs or radiates with intensity from lasers, this elemental medium, light, fascinates artists and viewers alike. Lust for Light selects works by artists who have used light as a primary or catalyzing agent in the featured pieces. Taking a dynamic approach in its curation, the book features the use of illumination in more traditional gallery forms as well as in three dimensional and large-scale installation pieces. Many of the featured artists are skilled fabricators who have been honing their light-inspired works for years, while others have made stunning pieces through collaborations and daring forays, cross-pollinating their artistic visions with new technologies in the process. Featured artists include Yayoi Kusama, Ivan Navarro, Jennifer Steinkamp, Laddie John Dill, Joanie Lemercier, Massimo Uberti, Barry Underwood, Miguel Chevalier, James Clar, Liz West and more.

A “certainly weird . . . strangely wonderful . . . [and] often irresistible” search to find the real Garden of Eden (The New York Times Book Review). Where, precisely, was God’s Paradise? St. Augustine had a theory. So did medieval monks, John Calvin and Christopher Columbus. But when Darwin’s theory of evolution changed our understanding of human origins, shouldn’t the desire to put a literal Eden on the map have faded away? Not so fast. This “gloriously researched, pluckily written historical and anecdotal assay of humankind’s age-old quixotic quest for the exact location of the Biblical garden” (Elle) explores an obsession that has consumed scientists and theologians alike for centuries. To this day, the search continues, taken up by amateur explorers, clergymen, scholars, engineers and educators—romantic seekers all who started with the same simple-sounding Bible verses, only to end up at a different spot on the globe: Sri Lanka, the Seychelles, the North Pole, Mesopotamia, China, Iraq—and Ohio. Inspired by an Eden seeker in her own family, “Wilensky-Lanford approaches her subjects with respect, enthusiasm and conscientious research” (San Francisco Chronicle) as she traverses a century-spanning history provoking surprising insights into where we came from, what we did wrong, and where we go from here. And it all makes for “a lively journey” (Kirkus Reviews).

Lust, says Simon Blackburn, is furtive, headlong, always sizing up opportunities. It is a trail of clothing in the hallway, the trashy cousin of love. But be that as it may, the aim of this delightful book is to rescue lust "from the denunciations of old men of the deserts, to deliver it from the pallid and envious confessor and the stocks and pillories of the Puritans, to drag it from the category of sin to that of virtue." Blackburn, author of such popular philosophy books as Think and Being Good, here offers a sharp-edged probe into the heart of lust, blending together insight from some of the world's greatest thinkers on sex, human nature, and our common cultural foibles. Blackburn takes a wide ranging, historical approach, discussing lust as viewed by Aristophanes and Plato, lust in the light of the Stoic mistrust of emotion, and the Christian fear of the flesh that catapulted lust to the level of deadly sin. He describes how philosophical pessimists like Schopenhauer and Sartre contributed to our thinking about lust and explores the false starts in understanding lust represented by Freud, Kinsey, and modern "evolutionary psychology." But most important, Blackburn reminds us that lust is also life-affirming, invigorating, fun. He points to the work of David Hume (Blackburn's favorite philosopher) who saw lust not only as a sensual delight but also "a joy of the mind." Written by one of the most eminent living philosophers, attractively illustrated and colorfully packaged, Lust is a book that anyone would lust over.

All the yearning, the passion, the wantonness of lust and its realization is explored in this collection of lascivious love stories, passionate poems, and playful fables. There is taboo lust, as in Vladimir Nabokov's ground-breaking novel Lolita; blood-lust, as Anne Rice chronicled so forcefully in her novel The Vampire Lestat; and the sweetly romantic lust of Sappho's poetry. But then there is Dante Alighieri, reminding us in his Inferno that lustful sinners will be punished in Hell, and Milan Kundera to intellectualize lust into three principles, and Italo Calvino to discuss the humorous side of lust among the reptiles.

A stunning New York Times bestselling novel that intertwines the stories of an escaped slave in 1852 Virginia and an ambitious young lawyer in contemporary New York and asks: is it ever too late to right a wrong? Lynnhurst, Virginia, 1852. Seventeen-year-old Josephine Bell decides to run away from the failing tobacco farm where she is a slave and nurse to her ailing mistress, the aspiring artist Lu Anne Bell. New York City, 2004. Lina Sparrow, an ambitious first-year associate in an elite law firm, is given a difficult, highly sensitive assignment that could make her career: finding the “perfect plaintiff” to lead a historic class-action lawsuit worth trillions of dollars in reparations for descendants of American slaves. It is through her father, the renowned artist Oscar Sparrow, that Lina discovers Josephine Bell and a controversy rocking the art world: are the iconic paintings long ascribed to Lu Anne Bell really the work of her house slave, Josephine? A descendant of Josephine’s—if Lina can locate one—would be the perfect face for the reparations lawsuit. While following the runaway house girl’s faint trail through old letters and plantation records, Lina finds herself questioning her own family history and the secrets that her father has never revealed: how did Lina’s mother die? And why will he never speak about her?

Lust for Light by Nini Gorglione (Nancy Jeanne Gorglione)Lust for Light explores some of the trips within the love life of Nini Tantrini, a hippy in the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco in 1969. Psychedelics, sex and music are her left hand path to enlightenment. In Lust For Light, the past and the future meet in the character of Nini Tantrini. This book is a poetic tour de force on her paths to self-realization.Lust for Light also explores events, extrapolated from contemporary history and myth, in the life of Vincent Van Gogh. We see vignettes of his life in Belgium, Paris and Arles. This possibly gives us a better understanding of Van Gogh's motivations and impetus to create.Whenever there is desire, there is karma, or causation. This book explores Tantra in the tradition of Buddhism and Kashmiri Saivism. In both their literature and this book, the Commentary on the Text unfolds an ever-growing lineage of philosophical magical thoughts, master to student. Lust for Light is a result of this clarity, and just may con- tain some of the most beautiful poetry in the English language.The Author is also a pioneering holographic artist. Within the diffraction orders of a Holographic World, all versions of history form phenomena. Lust for Light continues the author's multi-dimensional holographic conversations with the universe. Rapid evolution is explored, along with the long, (slow) evolution of the horse. The Author's horses' voices contribute an active part of the narrative. Some of these poems are songs, some are chants and trance dance (or horses prancing) beats.It is a controversial book as it also relates historical events, and needs parental guid- ance. "This book is as true as I can make it as a work of fiction." N. Gorglione
