    A new, narrative history of the Renaissance that takes in the whole of Europe and its global context, written by one of the UK¿s foremost art critics and respected writers on art. This imaginative reframing of the Renaissance presents its history as that of connections across Europe, where artists from the north and south were, together, products of the brilliantly fertile mix of classical inspiration, observation and selfconsciousness that set European culture alight from the 15th to the early 17th centuries. From Leonardo to Bosch, Bruegel to Titian, this stirring narrative sets the lives of artists against a period of great change across the continent. Across thirteen chapters, art critic and writer Jonathan Jones relates the story of Renaissance artists as pioneers, adventurers and by their own lights `geniuses¿. He reveals how they were inspired by their travels and encounters across Europe and beyond, such as the Aztec treasures upon which Albrecht Dürer gazed with wonder in Brussels in 1520, Antonello da Messinäs arduous journey to Bruges to discover the true nature of oil paint, or Hieronymus Bosch finding inspiration in West African ivory carvings imported by the Portuguese to Antwerp and other cities. In this history of shared ideals, the arrival of a hitherto unknown Netherlandish painter, Pieter Bruegel, in 1550s Rome carries the same importance as the work Michelangelo was engrossed in at that very same moment, in the same city, to raise the new Saint Peter¿s Basilica towards heaven. From Italian palazzi and piazzas to German woods, the royal castle of Prague to the dungeons of the Inquisition, this engaging and evocative read will captivate general readers and scholars alike.

    Education through poetry expresses my thoughts and education on numerous different topics and ideas. I expressed my knowledge and wisdom through lines that rhyme most of the time. You can say that it's wisdom that rhymes. Among my favorites are the topics that address values including honor and integrity. Most of the values included have shaped me and made me the many have become. The different activities that are included are things I like to do or would like to do on the future. For example, I shared my thoughts on having children, although I personally have never had any. I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness and you will find many references to the organization and my heart felt feelings about my Creator. I have no intentions of changing anyone's beliefs but I have come to love what I've learned. The other ideas in the book come from personal experience mostly. I use the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd perspectives. Sometimes the stories told are what really happened, while others paint a picture based on personal wisdom. I've also included poems about my family and heroes in my life. Included are Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Samuel L. Jackson. There are a few more that I share my thoughts on. But I won't spoil it for you. Other ideas are ones we can all relate to including invitations. We all like to get invited to an outing or party or such. These poems give you a spin on things you already know and allow you to think outside the box. These poems are good conversation starters and will captivate the mind.

    Overall, the book finds that the regional benefit of FDI location is unlikely to be long-lasting, owing both to the nature of plant reinvestment and to the effect of agglomeration economics on FDI location.
