How to be good? Where did we come from? Bt philosophy is the interpreter we se to verify it all. We need it to make sense of the simplest math and the most esoteric poetry. It even has created a science of information itself. In this compilation of hman knowledge, we begin or jorney at the bondary of myth and reason and along the way visit the thoghts of the most high-flying of minds Socrates, Descartes, Kant and others who cold see that nothing, not ever-changing words, limitless nmbers, or mystical visions, was beyond examination. Far from being the work of dead genises, philosophy remains at the heart of or battle to make sense of the qantm niverse.

5 new october 2016 Lanched by the london stereoscopic company Crinoline Fashion s Most Magnificent Disaster Co-athored by Brian May, lead gitarist of the band Qeen, and renowned collector of Victorian stereo photographs. In the 21st centry, the word crinoline conjres p visions of the volminos dresses we see in a myriad of Victorian costme dramas on TV as well as in films, from Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind to Keira Knightley in Anna Karenina. It may also bring to mind bridal petticoats, prom dresses, fairy tale princesses, evening gowns, or fashion fantasies created by designers sch as Zandra Rhodes, Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano, Jean-Pal Galtier, Alexander McQeen and Yohji Yamamoto. Crinoline was originally a name given by the French to a very stiff yet soft fabric made of horsehair, which was sed to increase the size of women s skirts and dresses. Bt the word soon took on a wider meaning, and was applied to any strctre of ivory, wood, or steel hoops or wires that enabled women s skirts to attain overwhelming dimensions. This otrageos style first saw the light of day in France arond 1856, and cased a sensation which dominated women s fashion for over a decade an ncontrollable wave of liberation, joy, and tragedy. Crinolines really did become Fashion s Most Magnificent Disaster : by the mid-1860s they had been the case of thosands of deaths de to fire, and had also been blamed for the financial rin of contless families. By a strange coincidence, the Golden Age of Crinoline exactly coincided with the first Golden Age of Stereoscopy 3-D photography a principle motivation for the creation of this book, which celebrates both crazes. In these pages we present a comprehensive history of the development of crinolines, sing contemporary acconts, stereo photos, cartoons, and drawings from the excitable Victorian press.

It contains detailed context for each Diablerie, explaining political references, pointing ot jokes and illstrating technical accomplishments.

Wall Street Jornal Who says dinosar rockers can t raise hell? In the poshly pblished Diableries Brian May shares his long-standing passion for 19th-centry stereopticon images. He boght his first pair of these 3-D cards over 40 years ago from a psychedelia vendor at Portobello Road Market in London. In this nearly complete set of a phantasmic French stereopticon series from the 1860s, skeletons enact an elaborate danse macabre. Criosly, Satan bears a striking resemblance to King Lois Philippe. 6 7
