Book excerpt: "The exquisite objects created by goldsmith and jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé and his studio in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the aristocracy and nobility of imperial Russia are considered to be some of the most refined examples of the jeweler's art of any age. Of greatest fascination are the extraordinary Easter eggs created as special commissions for the Russian imperial family and other notable patrons - works that remain unparalleled in their ingenuity of construction and sheer beauty. Accompanying a major exhibition Faberge Revealed represents a landmark for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and for Fabergé scholarship. The essays by Géza von Habsburg and other scholars present new findings on Fabergé, his workshops, and the creation of these extraordinary objects. For the first time all items by or attributed to Fabergé in VMFA's collection are documented along with the museum's significant holdings of other Russian decorative arts..."--Publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to be dedicated to the British branch of Faberge, covering its fascinating history from its opening in 1903, to its closure in 1917. Royalty, Aristocrats, American heiresses, exiled Russian Grand Dukes, Randlords, Maharajas, Socialites and financiers with newly made fortunes flocked to Faberge in London to buy gifts for each other. This book is the first dedicated to the glittering history of Faberge's British branch, from its opening in 1903 to its closure in 1917. The Imperial Russian Goldsmith's London branch was the only one outside of Russia and its jewelled and enamelled contents were as popular there as they were in St. Petersburg or Moscow. Using previously unreferenced sources and a newly discovered archive of papers relating to Faberge in London, Kieran McCarthy studies the branch's structure, customers and exclusive stock. The most expensive sale made by Faberge in London, of a diamond tiara priced for £1400, cost one hundred times the annual wage of a scullery maid. It will be of interest to enthusiasts of the decorative arts, the social history of the Edwardian Golden Age and especially of European Royalty. Faberge's works were and continue to be intimately associated with the British Royal Family. For Violet Trefusis, daughter of King Edward VII's mistress Mrs. Keppel and lover of Vita Sackville-West, A Faberge cigarette case was the emblem of Royalty, as symbolical as the bookies cigar, or the ostler's straw. AUTHOR: Kieran McCarthy is a director of Wartski, the London Court Jewellers who specialises in the work of Carl Faberge. He is on the advisory board of the Faberge Museum in St. Petersburg, is a freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths' and a fellow of the Gemmological Association. He has written and lectured extensively about Carl Faberge. He advises collectors and institutions on Faberge's work and recently revealed the rediscovery of one of the lost Imperial Faberge Easter Eggs. 191 colour, 86 b/w

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 3,000 of America's finest teachers are selected for the prestigious National Federation of Academic Excellence in Education Award for an all-expenses-paid three-month sabbatical to study topics of interest in NFAEE hubs all across the country. At the end of the sabbatical, only 288 participants are left. What happens to them is the result of an insidious plot to rid America of its best and brightest educators. Who is behind the plot, and why? For the handful who finish, the chilling answer is in their struggle to survive … THE SABBATICAL DIRECTIVE. When teachers Mitzie Galloway, Colby Cameron, and Cassidy Phelps win the coveted NFAEE award, they look forward to three months of pampered luxury with similar colleagues from all over the country. Instead, they find themselves in a hostage-type situation which demands their collective intellects and survival instincts, not only to complete the sabbatical, but to finish with their minds and their very lives intact. Not everyone will make the cut. THE SABBATICAL DIRECTIVE is psychological warfare that could already be playing out in today's reality. "The risk is real … The fate of our country hangs in the balance … The minds of our nation's children are in jeopardy." ~ Cheryl K. Chumley, The Washington Times
