In this work, Abolala Soudavar examines seven paintings by some of the great masters of the 15th century and demonstrates how we can better understand the state of international relations and the political rivalries of the time by decoding the figures, their postures and gestures, the background scenes, the compositions and much else in these paintings. This is a period of geopolitical turmoil, with the Muslim Turkish assault on Europe causing distress within the Christian World. Yet it is also a time of courtly opulence and Shakespearean drama, with murders and vendettas, wars and crusades, intrigue and treachery dominating contemporary life. -- Dust Jacket.

Includes a useful timeline, glossary, and series of artists' biographies."--Patricia L.

How can science help us develop our deeper spiritual potential? This unique approach to the question, from a trained psychiatrist, combines spirituality with key concepts from modern psychology to help us overcome challenges and become more perceptive, creative, and fulfilled. Dr. DeBell draws on such rational tools as cognitive-behavioral and Piaget developmental psychology to detect and decode feedback from the deeper dimensions in life. Contemporary, down-to-earth, and extremely practical, it shows how to bring spiritual intention to bear on daily routines and specific challenges, such as anxiety or depression.
