In het uitgebreide panorama van de kunstgeschiedenis verschijnen bepaalde werken als vensters naar verre werelden, die gevoelens en herinneringen oproepen. "Mon Jardin à Ceylan Pl092 - George De Alwis" is zo'n werk, dat een visuele onderdompeling biedt in de schoonheid en sereniteit van Ceylaanse landschappen. Deze kunstdruk, trouw aan het origineel, voert ons mee naar een weelderige tuin, waar elk detail lijkt te vibreren met een eigen leven. De kunstenaar, door zijn beheersing van kleur en licht, slaagt erin de essentie van de natuur vast te leggen en nodigt de kijker uit tot een rustgevende en verrijkende contemplatie. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk De stijl van George De Alwis onderscheidt zich door een levendige en expressieve aanpak. In "Mon Jardin à Ceylan" creëren de fonkelende tinten van de bloemen, het heldere groen van de bladeren en de zachte lichten een bijna magische sfeer. De kunstenaar gebruikt dynamische penseelstreken die een voelbare energie aan elk element van het schilderij geven. De compositie, hoewel realistisch, laat poëtische vrijheden toe, waardoor de tuin verandert in een droomruimte. Elk bloem, elk blad wordt weergegeven met een precisie die getuigt van minutieuze observatie, terwijl het een lichteffect behoudt dat echo geeft aan de vergankelijke schoonheid van de natuur. Dit werk, door zijn harmonie en rijke chromatiek, herinnert ons eraan dat kunst in staat is het alledaagse te overstijgen en onze geest te verheffen. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed George De Alwis is een kunstenaar wiens parcours wordt gekenmerkt door een diepe connectie met zijn omgeving. Afkomstig uit Ceylan, heeft hij de rijkdom van de flora en fauna van zijn land aangeboord om zijn inspiratie te voeden. Zijn werk beperkt zich niet tot een eenvoudige voorstelling van de natuur; het is een viering van het leven en de emoties die het oproept. Geïnspireerd door impressionistische stromingen, heeft De Alwis een unieke toets toegevoegd, die traditie en moderniteit combineert. Zijn inzet voor het behoud van natuurlijke schoonheid manifesteert zich in elk werk, en moedigt kijkers aan na te denken over hun eigen relatie met de omgeving. Door zijn kunst nodigt hij ons uit om de magie van Ceylaanse landschappen opnieuw te ontdekken.Shipping Notes

Anything from Skip I will read ASAP.
Format: Hardcover
I so look forward to reading this. Skip Atwater is a pioneer in the exploration of consciousness. I had the pleasure of meeting him for an interview while making my film Third Eye Spies and his knowledge of remote viewing and the Army history of the subject was some of the most compelling testimony I heard. I am excited to get my copy of this new book.

Glorious book on Man's (unfortunate) wars with himself
Format: Hardcover
If you have any interest in the subject matter, buy this book, it is fantastic.
Many beautiful paintings and maps, some on full pages.
One comment. In various parts of this book it has something called "Directory," which is just paragraphs on events that the writer did not see deserving a full page in the book.
On page 42 we have "Directory: Before 1000 CE," and included is a paragraph on "Teutoburg Forest, Roman-Germanic Wars, 9 CE" The paragraph ends with: "Although there were subsequent expeditions to Germany, the Roman frontier became fixed at the Rhine (River)."
Surely, this is one of the greatest battles and results in European history and should have had a full two pages in this book instead of just a short paragraph. See the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, 9 CE.
Another short fall of this book is no mention of Boudica, who in AD 60 0r 61, was defeated by the Romans (commander- Suetonius Paullinus), who went on to "rule" England and Wales to about AD 410. This is my review of Graham Webster's book "Boudica: The British revolt against Rome in AD 60:
Lucid, well written on Boudica, queen of the East Anglian kingdom of the Iceni tribe, and much more. Sixteen pages of black and white photographs.

The Epilogue, a timeless piece of writing, should be read by everyone, young and old. The last sentence of the book in the Epilogue reads:
"They may help us to see more clearly what is happening in the world today, and even help us prevent some of the worst excesses of human folly and greed for power, which brings incalculable misery and suffering to the innocent majority."
Re: Boudica and the final battle with Suetonius Paullinus and the approximately 12,000 men under his command and Boudica's warriors, which could have been as great as 100,000, page 99, (but could be less);
we apply
"O2S4 MEC:"
Objective (Simplicity);
Offensive, Sprit of;
Superiority at Point of Contact (Economy of Force);
Surprise (Security);
Security (Surprise);
Simplicity (Objective);
Movement (Mobility);
Economy of Force (Superiority at Point of Contact);
Cooperation (Unity of Command)
On pages 98-99 in the book we have Fig. 5-, (if this is indeed the place of the final battle took place) "The battle between Boudica and Paullinus in its possible Mancetter context," it is clear that Paullinus had chosen the place of the battle and his position to force Boudica's warriors to a frontal attack and thereby creating "Superiority at Point of Contact." And this is probably what happened, as Boudica's warriors attacked and were funneled into the Roman Legion "buzz saw" due to their "simple" frontal attack.
From Fig. 5 again, it is clear that there was forest behind Paullinus and his men and the River Anker in front of them. I do not know if it would have possible to attack Paullinus from the rear by going through the forest. However, again from Fig. 5, it is apparent that Boudica's warriors probably could have attacked Paullinus from the right and left flanks (even though the Roman cavalry was on both flanks), creating a three pronged attack, negating some of the Roman's "Superiority at Point of Contact." It is clear that Boudica lost "Cooperation (Unity of Command)," or never had it in the first place, leading to the rout by Paullinus' much smaller force over a much larger force and the fate of Britain for about the next 400 years.
The Roman brutality that caused this uprising and Boudica's, and her warriors response, are part of history. Paullius' (whatever you think of him), choice of the battlefield was tactically brilliant, and no one, including Boudica, could match it on the field of battle that day.

Poor formatting for Kindle, GREAT as a hardback
Format: Kindle
So far I am loving this book, and hating its formatting for the Kindle. Probably because of all the maps and illustrations, it is hard to enjoy on my Kindle, and I have to awkwardly change the size of the page 3-4 times on every page while I try to read it. My guess is I would really love it as a physical book. LATER: As noted I was very disappointed trying to read this on a small Kindle, but the book looked so promising that I repurchased it in hardback. WOW what a difference. Wonderful illustrations, maps, the works. Given the number of important battles chosen, it would not be possible to go into great detail on any single one, but most people are not going to remember all those details anyway, and this book gives you what you really need, and the level of detail you are likely to remember and to help you appreciate the importance of the event. Strongly recommended in hardback.
