Описание: This is a detailed study of Byzantine ivory carving during an era when work in that medium reached its highest level of attainment. Unique in its aim and range, the volume considers how, when and why the Byzantines used ivory for icons and other luxurious items. Based on direct study of the objects, the book discusses more than 150 pieces and is illustrated with new photographs that provide an understanding of carving techniques and styles.
The author analyzes the normal working methods of Byzantine carvers, as well as aspects of craftsmanship that enable the identification of specific sculptors. These observations are then made the basis of both a revised chronology and a more rigorous system of classification than has existed heretofore. Similarities and differences within this body of production allow answers to such broader questions as the functions of craftsmen in this society, their relations with clients and designers, and, ultimately, the significance of ivory in the visual culture of Byzantium.

Описание: By listening to the expressions of others, Linda Cutler has come to realize that there is thankfully more humor in life than not, especially when it comes to well-known quips. In a collection of witticisms, Linda humorously dissects why we repeat sayings like "he drinks like a fish" and "happy as a clam" without questioning whether anyone has ever measured fish consumption for comparison and whether it is even possible to tell if a clam is happy or sad. While examining other amusing sayings such as "sweating like a pig," "barking up the wrong tree," and "striking while the iron is hot," Cutler offers witty reflections and clever wisdom that encourages others to stop and think about what they are saying on a daily basis and what each phrase really means. Happy as a Clam is a collection of quips that make us all scratch our heads while wondering how we can sow wild oats, why we would ever want to spill our guts, and why there are vegetables like suffering succotash.
