The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The story begins, as stories do in all good thrillers, with a botched robbery and a police chase. Eight Apuleian vases of the fourth century B.C. are discovered in the swimming pool of a German-based art smuggler. More valuable than the recovery of the vases, however, is the discovery of the smuggler's card index detailing his deals and dealers. It reveals the existence of a web of "tombaroli"--tomb raiders-- who steal classical artifacts, and a network of dealers and smugglers who spirit them out of Italy and into the hands of wealthy collectors and museums. Peter Watson, a former...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) There are many books that discuss the coins from specific periods of Egyptian history, but none that considers the coins from the whole of that history.

An important feature of the work is the illustration of a selection of about 150 coins and banknotes, which represent the major types throughout that history. Adjunct to this selection of these illustrations is a "key," which provides further numismatic detail about each of...

As Told To Me: My Connection to the Spirit Realm through the Ultimate Chat Line

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) As Told to Me is a collection of messages channeled by Peter Watson over a period of several months beginning in November 1979. What first began as an attempt to make contact with the hereafter, soon expanded into a daily conversation with departed souls who just happened to reside on the other side. These inspired messages from Peter's angels or guides offer insight, predictions, and an uncanny relevance for today. A shaky start with automatic writing evolved into a meaningful spiritual connection and conclusion.
