What Is a Trade? Donald Fels and Signboard Painters of South India presents sixteen large-scale paintings that explore trade and globalization in India. Fels' conceptual starting point for this exhibition was Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama's 1498 voyage to Malabar, India, in search of a direct sea route for the spice trade. What is a Trade? explores the historic and modern-day legacy of that expedition more than 500 years later.In 2004 and 2005, Fels traveled to Kerala (formerly Malabar), India, as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar, to work with local commercial signboard painters on a body of work that examines globalization in India and traces its roots to Vasco's voyage. Most of the signboard painters had formerly worked as billboard painters -- until recently, all billboards in India were hand-painted, but cheaper and more efficient inkjet printers are making the painters obsolete. In light of this trend, Fels and his collaborators created work in the style of traditional hand-painted billboards and Bollywood advertising. The bright colors and strong graphic narratives make visually arresting statements about the historic and contemporary effects of trade and globalization.

Noted actor and author Greg Bell’s long-awaited collection of poetry and short essays, Looking for Will: My Bardic Quest with Shakespeare, encompasses his life-long relationship with the Bard, Shakespeare’s works and the times in which he lived, as well as rare insights into Bell’s quest. Due to his long exposure to all aspects of Shakespeare’s works and his decades-long inquiry into Shakespeare’s life, Bell feels he’s been mentored by the Bard himself. This is evident in the work of Looking for Will, where that same intimacy that graced his multiple-award-winning and critically acclaimed solo stage show, Alms for Oblivion, comes through to the reader. In describing Looking for Will, Bell says, “This book is a haunting – both a séance and an exorcism. It chronicles a lifelong (and poetic) journey through the ghosts of the past toward William Shakespeare.” Bell rightly calls himself “Archaeologist of the Invisible,” and the book includes a preface that admits to digging up the past, and maps the trajectory of his quest. In the body of poetic works are free verse, blank verse, original sonnets and some excerpts from his Alms, in which Bell masterfully conjures up the Bard of Avon. “Be prepared for paranormal phenomena!” says he.

A remarkable book that will both inspire and guide you, What's Going Well? uncovers the key to bringing optimism into your daily life by embracing a "What's Going Well" mindset. For the past 15 years, Greg Bell has been inspiring audiences ranging from auditoriums of thousands to small groups of select CEOs at locations throughout the globe as a highly sought-after motivational speaker. How does he keep up the pace darting across airports and oceans for his work? Optimism is at the heart of it all, and he's ready to share his methods of building this powerful mindset. In What's Going Well?, Greg Bell takes the reader on a journey to the frontiers of neuroscience and positive psychology and reveals simple daily activities that change our physical wiring for the better. Through this, he shows how consistently focusing on the good in our lives impacts our leadership, success, and overall well-being, and he shares how to start building the habit here and now. The key is that optimism requires us to make a choice: to squash our natural survival tendency left over from the old reptilian brain that's hyper-focused on problems and dangers at every turn. To thrive, we must instead turn our attention to the good in our lives, and learn to build optimism through practice. Highly engaging and very practical, What's Going Well?breaks new ground as it leads you to change how you feel about yourself and your future.
