ReviewsArticle by Richard North Euro defence market reform is& integration by stealth , book mention. In The Businesss., Article by Richard North Euro defence market reform is integration by stealth , book mention. In The Businesss., 'tour de force, a fascinating forensic history of the seen and unseen forces which have brought us to the present point.' Rodney Leach, The Spectator, 'a superb history of the EU and of Britain's relationship with it. Every MP, every senior civil servant, every journalist with any claim to understanding the current state of the country, should read it. Yet it has barely been reviewed. A tome about, say, homosexual monks in Croatia would have got more attention from the closed minds of the books editors of most of our major newspapers. I urge you to put this right. Besiege booksellers. Ask any politician who pronounces on this subject if they have read it. If they haven't, they don't know what they are talking about'. Peter Hitchens, The Mail on Sunday, Article by Richard North Euro defence market reform is integration by stealth, book mention. In The Businesss., "The literature on European integration is dominated by an uncritical historicism that implies that the superseding of the nation-state in Europe is both inevitable and culturally desirable. A skeptical narrative has long been overdue."- The Historian, Vol. 67, No. 4, '...an excellent account of the EU's development and its attempt to build a superstate from the 1930s up to June this year when the EU Constitution was rejected by France and Holland.', 'a splendid work which fills a notable gap in the literature of the sad tale of our relationship with our continental neighbours it is also beautifully written.', '...one of the most substantial critical works on the EU to be published in recent years...a valuable store of history and infomation', 'I have been reading The Great Deception every night for the past week, and am so enthused and inspired by its detail and throughness...Not just a must read but a truly monumental achievement'. Bill Jamieson, executive editor The Scotsman, 'This is the most important book ever to be written on the European Union... Europhiles as well as EU-critics will find the book illuminating. Its production by leading British political analyst Christopher Booker and economist Richard North is likely to be seen in time as itself a significant event in the history of the integration project, for no one who reads it will ever be able to look in the same way at the European Union again. The book is relevant to the people of every European country.' ~ Irish Democrat

SynopsisWith the publication of the new European Constitution, authors have condensed some of the early history in order to make space for an examination of the new European Constitution and to argue that in it are all the tricks and traps at the heart of this European Idea and the disastrous consequences., In the catalogue accompanying the exhibition Art and Alchemy: The Mystery of Transformation" internationally renowned scientists introduce the results of their most recent research. In this richly illustrated volume the exhibits are discussed in relation to alchemy in more than 60 object texts. In the mysterious representation of Melancholy" by Lucas Cranach the Elder, in the Allegory of Fire" by Jan Brueghel the Elder, and in a variety of works by Hendrick Goltzius one can sense the strong impulse that emanated from alchemy and influenced art. In modern art alchemy has a key function in the works of Yves Klein, Joseph Beuys, Sigmar Polke and Anish Kapoor, to name just a few. These interrelations between modern/contemporary art and alchemy will be featured in a selection of works by prominent artists such as: Joseph Beuys (1921-- 1986); James Lee Byars (1932--1997); Leonora Carrington (1917--2011); Marcel Duchamp (1887--1968); Max Ernst (1891--1976); Rebecca Horn (b. 1944); Thomas Huber (b. 1955); Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945); Yves Klein (1928-1962); Jannis Kounellis (b. 1936); Eva Andrée Laramée (b. 1956); Helmut Schweizer (b. 1946); Gerda Steiner (b. 1967) & Jörg Lenzlinger (b. 1964).
