A new and definitive account of one of the most famous and mysterious manuscripts in the world The Book of Kells is a mystery It is distinct from all copies of the gospels from the early Middle Ages not only in the quality and amount of its decoration but also in the peculiarities of the ordering of its contents the oddness of its apparatus the appearance of the script the interplay of text and ornament and the erratic forms of its Latin Scholars cannot agree on the number of scribes and artists involved or establish the purpose of the Book or decide whether its oddities are the result of incompetence or carelessness and how those oddities relate to the minutely careful and deeply meaningful art The Book of Kells is probably the most famous manuscript in the world and Victoria Whitworth s masterly treatment offers something new

How are contemporary artists responding to the climate crisis Filipa Ramos takes an original approach to the subject by addressing two parallel strands She looks firstly at pioneering approaches to ecology by key contemporary artists from different generations and cultural backgrounds working in different art media and she considers the balance between ecology as theme and ecology as practice underscoring the imperative for both artists and art institutions to adopt responsible environmental positions in their practice This topical and important book discusses the work of artists who have returned to the land reviews how questions of shared rights and environmental justice are represented in contemporary artistic practice highlights the renewed importance of performance and time based media in ecologically themed art and looks at artists and art institutions complex relationship to environmental action

Montse Villar, astrofísica del CSIC y una de las divulgadoras más reconocidas en la intersección entre ciencia y humanidades, nos invita a un viaje único por la historia del cosmos a través del arte. Un libro que une ciencia, arte e historia para ofrecer una nueva manera de mirar el universo.Una nueva manera de mirar el universo a traves de la ciencia, el arte y la historiaLa humanidad ha mirado al cielo desde tiempos inmemoriales para intentar descifrarlo y, a la vez, intentar descifrarnos. Pero la ciencia no ha sido nuestra unica herramienta: artistas de todas las epocas y de todas las disciplinas han tratado de capturar la inmensidad del cosmos en sus obras, reflejando tanto nuestra comprension e interpretacion como las emociones que nos provoca. De la mano de la astrofisica y divulgadora Montserrat Villar Martin recorreremos siglos de historia a traves de pinturas, grabados y esculturas, entre otras manifestaciones artisticas, que han dado forma a nuestra percepcion del cosmos. Y, explorando temas como las constelaciones y los mitos que poblaron la boveda celeste, el temor a los cometas como mensajeros de la muerte, la astrologia como deseo de leer nuestro destino en las estrellas y la eterna pregunta sobre la existencia de vida en otros mundos, asi como su representacion en las obras de Vermeer, Dante y Voltaire entre muchos otros artistas y pensadores, la autora nos descubre como la astronomia ha influido en nuestra cultura y nuestro pensamiento.Con una narrativa envolvente y un enfoque innovador, Mirar los cielos nos revela como el arte y la ciencia han estado conectados desde el principio de los tiempos para invitarnos a seguir mirando el universo como fuente de inspiracion y conocimientos.
