TIME The Year in Review 2016: Trump, Clinton and Election '16 - Cops and Communities - Rio Olympics - Hurricane Matthew - Beyonce's Year

by The Editors of TIME

America's house was divided in 2016, as the nation took sides in a presidential contest that featured two highly controversial candidates, even as divisions between police and African-American communities continued to fester. It was a year of separations: Britons voted to leave the European Union, refugees continued to flee war-torn Syria for western Europe, and a host of familiar faces left the stage, from legendary boxer Muhammad Ali and regal golfer Arnold Palmer to widely beloved pop stars Prince and David Bowie. But there were thrills as well, from such heroes of the Rio Summer Games as Michael Phelps, Simone Biles and Usain Bolt, while carpool karaoke, Pokemon Go and a mom in a Chewbacca mask kept Americans smiling. Now the TIME Year in Review collects all the heartbreak and joy, all the year's best photographs and all the planet's most fascinating people in a richly illustrated book that will serve as a lasting testament to a most memorable year.

A Dictionary of Symbols (Dover Occult Ser.)

by J. E. Cirlot

Humans, it's said, are symbolizing animals. At every stage of civilization, people have relied on symbolic expression, and advances in science and technology have only increased our dependence on symbols. The language of symbols is considered a science, and this informative volume offers an indispensable tool in the study of symbology. It can be used as a reference or simply browsed for pleasure. Many of its entries — those on architecture, mandala, numbers, serpent, water, and zodiac, for example — can be read as independent essays. The vitality of symbology has never been greater: An essential part of the ancient arts of the Orient and of the Western medieval traditions, symbolism underwent a 20th-century revival with the study of the unconscious, both directly in the field of dreams, visions, and psychoanalysis, and indirectly in art and poetry. A wide audience awaits the assistance of this dictionary in elucidating the symbolic worlds encountered in both the arts and the history of ideas.
