Soul Rebel:

The Story Behind Every Bob Marley Song 1962-1981

Looking at this book, your natural tendency might be to think, "Great, another Bob Marley book," and granted, I might tend to agree with you, but Soul Rebel is a unique work amongst the myriad of Marley biographies. It tells the story of is life by examining the vehicle through which he impacted so many people: his music. Beautifully put together with dazzling full-color photographs, this relatively thin but large-framed work has the look of a coffee table book, but it has much more impact.

Gothic art.

Gothic art was a Medieval art movement that developed in France out of Romanesque art in the mid-12th century, led by the concurrent development of Gothic architecture. It spread to all of Western Europe, but took over art more completely north of the Alps, never quite effacing more classical styles in Italy. In the late 14th century, the sophisticated court style of International Gothic developed, which continued to evolve until the late 15th century. In many areas, especially Germany, Late Gothic art continued well into the 16th century, before being subsumed into Renaissance art. Primary media in the Gothic period included sculpture, panel painting, stained glass, fresco and illuminated manuscript.

The earliest Gothic art was monumental sculpture, on the walls of Cathedrals and abbeys. Christian art was often typological in nature (see Medieval allegory), showing the stories of the New Testament and the Old Testament side by side. Saints' lives were often depicted. Images of the Virgin Mary changed from the Byzantine iconic form to a more human and affectionate mother, cuddling her infant, swaying from her hip, and showing the refined manners of a well-born aristocratic courtly lady.

Secular art came in to its own during this period with the rise of cities, foundation of universities, increase in trade, the establishment of a money-based economy and the creation of a bourgeois class who could afford to patronize the arts and commission works resulting in a proliferation of paintings and illuminated manuscripts. Increased literacy and a growing body of secular vernacular literature encouraged the representation of secular themes in art. With the growth of cities, trade guilds were formed and artists were often required to be members of a painters' guild—as a result, because of better record keeping, more artists are known to us by name in this period than any previous, some artists were even so bold as to sign their names.

Gas Mask Bongs

with adjustable head straps to fit comfortably around most heads (maybe not Bono’s). There’s no escaping the hit when you buy a Gas Mask Bong - it’s literally in your face!

Don’t forget to close your eyes unless you like them red and watering. Or get a smaller pair of swimming goggles and wear them underneath the Gas Mask Bong so you can watch the face mask bong fill with smoke before your very eyes and all around them too.

The acrylic tube is easily detachable so you can fix the mask bong to any glass bong or steamroller pipe with a similar tube diameter that will fit snugly into the filter hole of the Gas Mask Bong.

There will soon be additional tubes you can purchase for the Gas Mask Bong, including a sealed glass tube with a lift-off glass bowl. Acrylic options include ‘steamroller’ designs that are open-ended so you block the end with your hand when you hit it, much like a steamroller pipe.
