This book examines the relationship between modern sculpture and architecture in the mid-twentieth century, an interplay that has laid the ground for the semi-sculptural or semi-architectural works by architects such as Frank Gehry and artists such as Dan Graham. The first half of the book looks at how the addition of sculpture enhanced several architectural projects, including Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion (1929) and Eliel Saarinen's Cranbrook Campus (1934). The second half of the book uses several additional case studies, including Philip Johnson's sculpture court for New York's Museum of Modern Art (1953), to explore what architectural spaces can add to the sculpture they are designed to contain. Curtis argues that it was in the middle of the twentieth century, before sculptural and architectural forms began to converge, that the complementary nature of--though essential difference between--the two art forms began to clearly emerge: how figurative sculpture highlighted the modernist architectural experience and how the abstract qualities of that architecture imparted to sculpture a heightened role.

Turmeric is a traditional herbal remedy that has been used for centuries and in recent years has been hailed as a "miracle cure" for a range of illnesses from arthritis to auto-immune disease. Penelope Ody, one of Britain's leading herbalists, draws on the extensive scientific studies that have appeared on curcuminoids (one of the many chemical constituents of turmeric) in one of the most authoritative book on turmeric currently available. In Turmeric Penelope Ody provides a history of turmeric and its therapeutic role. From its cultivation to its traditional use in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to its centrality to the Asian diet (including some recipes, since many will be familiar with turmeric as a culinary spice). Turmeric has been used medicinally in South Asia for more than 4,000 years; today its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are well established and may be helpful for a host of illnesses, from arthritis and diabetes to Alzheimer's and heart disease. Penelope Ody investigates this ancient remedy's suitability for twenty- first century ailments separating the hysteria about its benefits from a realistic evaluation into how it can help to improve any reader's health.

L’acqua è calma, sembra danzare. Le onde sfiorano appena i miei piedi scalzi, visto che ho lasciato le scarpe da ginnastica qualche metro più in là. Dei cespugli si muovono, alle mie spalle. Non mi volto. Sorrido, non appena due forti braccia mi stringono, da dietro. Riconosco il suo calore, la sua dolcezza. «Credevo che tu fossi bellissima sotto la luce della luna» sospira al mio orecchio, «ma mi ero sbagliato. Con i raggi dell’aurora sei una meraviglia, Michelle.» Mi bacia l’orecchio, mordicchiandolo, e socchiudo gli occhi. Per un attimo, le mie gambe sembrano cedere. Pronuncio appena il suo nome, quasi come per accertarmi che io non stia sognando, che sia tutto vero. Incrocio le dita con le sue, mentre le sue braccia mi stringono ancora più forte, avvinghiate ai miei fianchi. «Ti amo» sospiro, con un gemito. «Ti amo anch’io» sussurra, a sua volta. È la prima volta che me lo dice. Sono sorpresa. Mi volto, contemplo i suoi occhi neri, che luccicano con i raggi dell’alba, che diventa più intensa e dorata. Capisce come mi sento, e mi precede. «Sì, hai indovinato. È la prima volta che lo dico a una ragazza. E credimi, comunque vadano le cose, qualsiasi cosa accada… non dimenticherò mai queste giornate trascorse assieme a te. Tu sei speciale, Michelle.» Il mio cuore batte impazzito. È un momento che non avevamo mai vissuto, così impregnato di romanticismo. Ronnie ha detto di amarmi. Anche lui per me è speciale. Non avrei mai creduto che una storia come la nostra, cominciata per gioco, potesse diventare tanto importante. Ci baciamo, illuminati da quei raggi d’oro, che diventano sempre più caldi. E il mio cuore in quell’attimo esatto, esplode di gioia.
