Travel + Sketching = Inspiration When we travel, we don't want to follow the same itinerary as everyone who's come before us. We want to feel like explorers, adventurers in undiscovered territory. And that's exactly what sketching can bring to the travel experience. An Illustrated Journey captures the world through the eyes of 40 talented artists, illustrators and designers. You'll experience the wonder of seeing familiar sights through a fresh lens but, more important, you'll be inspired to set pen to paper and capture your own vistas. The really wonderful thing about a sketchbook is that it can be totally private. You don't have to have an ounce of talent to enjoy learning how to really see what's in front of you. But lucky for us, the sketchbooks captured here are lovely, creative, intimate windows into each artist's mind. So, whether you're just returning to the art of drawing, abandoned by most of us after childhood, or you're looking for inspiration to take your illustration work in a new direction, An Illustrated Journey will take you on a wonderful trip of the imagination. All you need to pack are a pencil and a piece of paper.

Creativity in its basic form is a “primoral reaction” associated with the “flight response” of the “instinctive response system” which is used for emergency escape or near death survival situations. This response to extreme or threatening danger is brought out in modern man by “child abuse,” psychological abuse, accidents, head traumas, and near death experiences. This is not to say that people with none of these extremes have no creativity. “Will Stephen was a messenger for this Aquarian Age. His concepts will assist you in awakening to your highest creative potential. His philosophy of Concord encompasses the ideals of cooperation within our communities as well as within ourselves, to once again flow with the rhythm of nature. This first book is a three-part series, including thirty-nine black-and-white illustrations. Mr. Stephen’s artistic style is layered with multidimensional wisdom, helping to open the reader’s mind to many alternative possibilities.” WILL STEPHEN, a visionary artist from Manhattan, managed and designed the number one jazz club, Basin Street East, during the 1950s. He did commissioned portraits for many famous people including Frank Sinatra, Robert Wagner,and Natalie Wood. His message is Concord: the cooperation we need for the Aquarian Age.

The Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey invites readers on a journey of discovery that will change the way they view the Ark of the Covenant forever! Although much has been written about the Ark of the Covenant, few authors engage the wealth of information available that pertains to Egyptian material culture. The Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey is the first book to explore the complex history of sacred ritual furniture in Egypt that predated the ark by hundreds of years. Within Egyptian culture, over four hundred examples of ritual furniture exist that shed light on the design and appearance of the ark. These examples form patterns that provide context for the Israelites' understanding of the ark at the time of its construction. That understanding would have been obvious to the Israelites of the time, but has since become obscured over the millennia. This groundbreaking book is the first to connect the Ark of the Covenant with the archaeology and chronology of ancient Egypt, and it does so in an accessible way with straightforward text and dozens of full-color photographs and graphics. Key points and features: - A groundbreaking work of scholarship--the first of its kind to connect the Ark of the Covenant with its ancient Egyptian context. - High-level scholarship is paired with straightforward text, making it an accessible volume for students and curious laypeople, as well as experts in the field. - Includes dozens of full-color photographs and graphics depicting ancient Egyptian artifacts and art. - Durable hardcover is built to withstand heavy use in classrooms and libraries.
