Relics, dreams, voyages conjures a new cultural map of the early-modern world. Its main theme is centre and periphery, and many exiles are celebrated here: Jacobites and recusant Catholics; wandering Gaelic scholars; mercenary soldiers in Moravia and Slovenia; art dealers in c18 Rome. This book also considers centres of baroque culture outside the mainstream: exiled English Catholic Colleges in Flanders and Spain; a remote symbolic garden in rural Scotland; architectural fantasies from an isolated circle at Birr in the midlands of Ireland. It meditates on cultural transmission from Asia and the Americas to Europe: one test case is the painter Rubens, his circle of Antwerp Jesuits, and what they learned from the New Worlds. Many of the essays consider the secretive cultures of exiled or persecuted British Roman Catholics, including the pseudo-relics constructed in Antwerp for the posthumous cult of Mary Queen of Scots, and the triumphal procession of a vandalised statue at the exiled English College in Valladolid. The visual arts are examined across a wide temporal and geographical span, and many subversive iconographies are decoded: at the French and English courts, in remote Scotland, in Nagasaki, in Valladolid. Drawing on original research in libraries, collections, and archives in five countries, and in as many languages, this book draws many astonishing, unfamiliar and beautiful texts, things and events, into a cartography of the subtle, sometimes secret patterns of baroque culture worldwide. This books offers a new, extraordinary cultural geography of the baroque world, opening doors to many rich and strange cultural artefacts, from "China to Peru."

Someone is operating the largest stock market insider trading scheme in the history of the United States, that is making millions of dollars in illegal profits. Whoever it is has access to secret information about numerous major corporations before the information is made available to the general public. Perhaps it is a nationally-known radio or TV host of a financial program, a financial journalist, or maybe even a Pulitzer Prize winner.The perpetrator of the insider trading scheme has hidden their identity and covered their tracks through layers of elusive actions that all seem to lead nowhere. But, the perpetrator may not have planned on a brilliant FBI forensic accountant, Dr. Kimberly King, doggedly leading the investigation to uncover their identity and to put them out of business.The Dish Dog is set mostly in New York City, with scenes in the heartland and in a tropical paradise. The story has a unique ending that many readers will applaud.

Alex Gideon is America's heartthrob. His eight movies have been box office smashes, he is rich and handsome, and he has millions of adoring fans. But all is not well. He needs to get away from the pressure of stardom, the demands of his sleazy manager, the Hollywood starlets, and his smothering fans. But where can he go? He disguises himself and sneaks off, unannounced, to the most remote, quiet, peaceful, out-of-the=way place he can find -- Okoboji, in Iowa. Much to his surprise, Alex soon finds the Okoboji is an upbeat summer resort area with beautiful lakes, offbeat locals, partying tourists, and lots of action. And the zany Summer Games, sponsored by the mythical University of Okoboji, are underway. Goodbye, quiet getaway.

Have you ever looked at a coin in the palm of your hand and wondered where it has been, what it has seen and heard, and what stories it could tell? Well, in a nutshell, that is what PENNY is about as this very special one-cent piece passes through the hands of ordinary people, the famous, the infamous, the saints, and the sinners and hangs out in churches, honkytonks, and everywhere in between. This book tells the stories of the people whose hands PENNY passes through. Why is this particular penny so special? Well, because it was the final penny ever minted of 95% copper, on October 22, 1982. After that, all one-cent pieces are pathetic and puny, consisting of 97.5% zinc with only a touch of copper thrown in. That's why. After reading PENNY, you might never again be able to pass by a penny lying on the ground without at least giving a thought to picking it up and putting it in your pocket. Every book should be dedicated to someone or something, and this book is dedicated to the penny pinchers of the world. Okay, also to the penny hoarders. PENNY is Peter Davidson's twenty-eighth published book.

When my grandson, Joel, got engaged, I decided to jot down a few words of marital wisdom for him, based on my vast experience as a husband. Then I thought, why share this wisdom with only one person when I can share it with the whole world. So, I started a blog, listing new marital advice every week. As the popularity of the blog grew, people suggested that the material should be turned into a book and, well, here it is!Sure, much of the advice is off-the-wall and wacky, but it's also an upbeat, humorous look at married life that any engaged or married person can relate to and will find insightful and fun to read. Even unmarried people can enjoy the book and, who knows, it might convince some of you to take the plunge, or perhaps confirm your belief that being single is a blessing.Advice to Joel, and to any man, includes: make sure that you buy a roll of electrical tape before you volunteer to do the vacuuming-and why, how to deal with your wife's steely-eyed, clinched-jaw scowl, known as "The Look," how to answer your wife's questions such as, "Does this dress make my ass look big?," the warning that your mouth will get you into a whole lot more trouble than your Willy ever will, and how to create the world's most powerful anniversary card for your wife. Virtually all of the material in the book is presented in the form of upbeat stories, scenarios, and examples. This is not the type of advice that you'll find in a textbook on marriage or in a book on marital relations written by some psychiatrist. This is the real stuff for real people.

Peter Davidson's The Last of the Light is a meditation on twilight in the Western arts and imagination, in thought, painting and literature.

Baroque in its extravagance of language, in its delight in the bizarre and the prodigious, this collection presents a cabinet of curiosities, a world of ruined palaces, ghostly gardens and the fragile marvels of a secret past. It ends with a group of elegies and epistles concerned with place and history in northern Scotland.

In these painterly essays Davidson reflects on art, place, history and landscape. Distance and Memory is his testament to the cold, clear beauty of the north.
