This book explores the significance of beautiful and engaging objects--chosen, acquired, personalised and treasured--to the people who once owned them. With over 300 works discussed, it takes us on a dazzling visual adventure through the decorative arts, from Renaissance luxuries wrought in glass, bronze and maiolica to the elaborate tablewares and personal adornments available to shoppers in the Age of Enlightenment. En route the authors consider the impact of global trade on European habits and expectations: the glamour of the Eastern exotic, the ubiquity of New World products like chocolate and sugar, and the obsession with Chinoiserie decoration. They ask what decorative objects meant to their owners before the age of industrial mass production, and explore how technological innovation and the proliferation of goods from the sixteenth century onwards transformed the attitude of Europeans to their personal possessions. Illustrated throughout with superb colour photographs, many unfamiliar and hitherto unseen gems of the Fitzwilliam Museum's Applied Arts collection are here published for the first time.

What happens when ritual practitioners from a small Pacific nation make an intellectual property claim to bungee jumping? When a German company successfully sues to defend its trademark of a Māori name? Or when UNESCO deems ephemeral sand drawings to be "intangible cultural heritage"? In Treasured Possessions, Haidy Geismar examines how global forms of cultural and intellectual property are being redefined by everyday people and policymakers in two markedly different Pacific nations. The New Hebrides, a small archipelago in Melanesia managed jointly by Britain and France until 1980, is now the independent nation-state of Vanuatu, with a population that is more than 95 percent indigenous. New Zealand, by contrast, is a settler state and former British colony that engages with its entangled Polynesian and British heritage through an ethos of "biculturalism" that is meant to involve an indigenous population of just 15 percent. Alternative notions of property, resources, and heritage—informed by distinct national histories—are emerging in both countries. These property claims are advanced in national and international settings, but they emanate from specific communities and cultural landscapes, and they are grounded in an awareness of ancestral power and inheritance. They reveal intellectual and cultural property to be not only legal constructs but also powerful ways of asserting indigenous identities and sovereignties.

I have dedicated this book to "those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life" (Revelation 21:27). It is not exclusive to those individuals only. The Lord is not willing that anyone should perish (2 Peter 3: 9), so it is for everyone who has not yet tasted the goodness of the Lord. My life testimony is sufficient to change your mind about the love of God and the incomparable patience of the Lord when He sets His eyes on a raw precious stone, knowing that in His hands He will transform it to be a jewel in His possession. Magda Manoli was born in Egypt. She was launched into ministry in 1997, when the Lord sent her to France. Since then, Magda has ministered in not only the nation of France, but also internationally in many nations, initially in the office of a prophet, and now in the dual office of prophet/apostle. She is the founder and president of The Last Harvest Ministry in Toronto, Canada, and the French chapter, La Dernière Moisson in France. The scope of the ministry is spiritual warfare, teaching and making disciples, and deliverance and healing to the Body of Christ.
