Mangano describes studies of baby teeth over the past half century, specifically the levels of man-made radiation from atomic bombs and nuclear reactors. He examines how these studies have been used to set nuclear policy.

"The Austrian writer Christoph Ransmayr has contributed an inspired literary investigation of the work and life of this artist living near the French village of Barjac. He takes us through La Ribaute, the artist's studio compound, past glass houses and leaden installations, through poppy fields and dense scrub, through underground passages and containers filled with pictures and sculptures. Meanwhile, the photographer Thomas Flechtner has captured fleeting visual impressions of this creative terrain. Markus Bruderlin, Mark Rosenthal and Katharina Schmidt, each with a deep knowledge of Anselm Kiefer's work, have provided illuminating introductions to the individual chapters that go to make up this detailed compendium which, focusing on four major areas of Anselm Kiefer's work, offers the reader an insight into the specific emblematics used by this artist as well as into the process of his pictorial production and the many-faceted nature of his artistic output."--Jacket

Mit seinem neuesten Künstlerbuch The Shape of Ancient Thought legt Anselm Kiefer erneut ein Photographiebuch vor. Die auf seinen ausgedehnten Reisen u. a. durch Indien und Italien entstandenen und von ihm überarbeiteten photographischen Werke zeigen Tempelarchitekturen aus dem Orient und Okzident. Der Titel bezieht sich auf ein bahnbrechendes Buch des US-amerikanischen Kunsthistorikers und Schriftstellers Thomas McEvilley: The Shape of Ancient Thought (Antike Denkbilder), 2002. McEvilley gelingt es in einer umfassenden komparativen Studie Parallelen und Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen der indischen und der griechisch-römischen Philosophie aufzuzeigen. Kiefer greift McEvilleys Theorie auf, indem er Aufnahmen indischer und griechischer Stätten zusammen zeigt und miteinander verbindet. In The Shape of Ancient Thought findet Kiefer eindrucksvolle Bilder, die die Erkenntnisse McEvilleys visuell erfahrbar machen. Das Buch wird etwa 28 Photoarbeiten des Künstlers umfassen. Anselm Kiefer lebt und arbeitet in Paris. 2008 wurde er mit dem Friedenspreis des deutschen Buchhandels ausgezeichnet. Seine Werke wurden in den bedeutendsten Museen der Welt ausgestellt.

While most major museums in the United States and abroad hold examples of the German artist Anselm Kiefer's work, the nature and extent of his achievement are the subject of intense debate. This volume reproduces in full The Heavenly Palaces - Merkabah, an important large-scale artist's book created by Kiefer in 1990. Featuring highly evocative images beautifully reproduced here in full color, this work is accompanied by three penetrating essays by experts who approach the book from various perspectives, explicating its many layers of meaning to an unprecedented degree. The first essay deals impressionistically with the motifs and iconography of The Heavenly Palaces - Merkabah. The next treats its themes and meaning, concentrating especially on Jewish references and resonances, an especially challenging aspect of this German artist's oeuvre. In the final essay, the importance of the medium of photography is addressed by surveying its use by Kiefer since the beginning of his career.

The first volume of Notebooks spans the years 1998-1999 and traces the origins and creative process of Kiefer's visual works during this period.
