In her lavishly produced third book, accomplished editor and photographer Kelly Klein celebrates the myriad incarnations of the cross in photography of the past century. Here are images of the cross in both nature and the man-made world, in precious decorative objects and industrial architecture, in the shapes of the human body and the shapes of shadows. These pictures show how this most potent symbol can be transformed into the sacred, the ordinary, the profane, depending on its use and surroundings. This is the first book ever to distill the icon of the cross to its pure aesthetic essence, to explore its universal beauty. Photographs from the best photographers of the 20th century -- Richard Avedon, David Bailey, Fabien Baron, Erwin Blumenfeld, Nan Goldin, David Hockney, Horst, Andre Kertesz, Steven Klein, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Sally Mann, Robert Mapplethorpe, Mary Ellen Mark, Duane Michals, Tina Modotti, Francois Nars, Len Prince, Man Ray, Herb Ritts, Michael Robert

W. Dean Sutcliffe investigates one of the greatest yet leastunderstood repertories of Western keyboard music: the 555 keyboardsonatas of Domenico Scarlatti. Scarlatti occupies a position ofsolitary splendour in musical history. The sources of his style areoften obscure and his immediate influence is difficult to discern.Further, the lack of hard documentary evidence has hinderedmusicological activity. Dr Sutcliffe offers not just a thoroughreconsideration of the historical factors that have contributed toScarlatti's position, but also sustained engagement with the music,offering both individual readings and broader commentary of anunprecedented kind. A principal task of this book is to remove thecomposer from his critical ghetto (however honourable) and redefinehis image. In so doing it will reflect on the historiographicaldifficulties involved in understanding eighteenth-century musicalstyle.

本书的新观点：1摩梭达巴教是苯教的原始形式，达巴教的历史要上溯到新石器时代，是原始宗教的活化石，摩梭艺术是原始艺术活化石；摩梭文字也是活化石，可以说是人类原始文明的活化石；还有学者称摩梭母系家庭是人类母系社会的活化石。2摩梭和纳西的某些图案和象形文字与青海马家窑文化有渊源关系。西藏卡若文化、横断山石棺葬文化与上述文化也有渊源关系，我们称之为青藏高原东部文化带。本文化带内有20余个民族，他们的民俗、语言、文化有很多相似之处，可能他们来自共同的源头。3吐蕃的崛起，导致西藏本土象形文字被藏文取代，多元文化被吐蕃文化同化。在吐蕃的边缘地带，原始宗教和象形文字保留下来。如达巴教、东巴教、东巴象形文字、达巴象形符号等。
