"The tin-glazed earthenware known as maiolica reveals much about the culture and spirit of Renaissance Italy. Spectacularly colorful, sometimes whimsical or frankly bawdy, these magnificent objects were generally made for use rather than decoration and present a fascinating glimpse into the realities of daily life. This volume features 135 masterpieces that reflect more than 400 years of exquisite artistry, from early pieces from Pesaro to everyday objects such as albarelli (pharmacy jars), bella donna plates, and humorous genre scenes. Luke Syson provides a wide-ranging introduction and Timothy Wilson, widely considered the foremost scholar in the field, provides an overview of the history and technique of maiolica in The Met collection. As the latest volume in The Met's series of decorative arts highlights, Maiolica is an invaluable resource for scholars and collectors as well as an absorbing general introduction to a multifaceted subject." -- Publisher's description

"Is introspection the best path to self-knowledge? What are we trying to discover? In a tour of the unconscious, as contemporary psychological science has redefined it, Timothy D. Wilson introduces a hidden mental world of judgements, feelings, and motives that introspection may never show."--Global Books in Print.

"There are few academics who write with as much grace and wisdom as Timothy Wilson. REDIRECT is a masterpiece." -Malcolm Gladwell What if there were a magic pill that could make you happier, turn you into a better parent, solve a number of your teenager's behavior problems, reduce racial prejudice, and close the achievement gap in education? There is no such pill, but story editing - the scientifically based approach described in REDIRECT - can accomplish all of this. The world-renowned psychologist Timothy Wilson shows us how to redirect the stories we tell about ourselves and the world around us, with subtle prompts, in ways that lead to lasting change. Fascinating, groundbreaking, and practical, REDIRECT demonstrates the remarkable power small changes can have on the ways we see ourselves and our environment, and how we can use this in our everyday lives.
