After more dead Kings than a speed-chess tournament, the infamous giant Robert of Artois is finally able to place his cousin Phillipe of Valois on the throne and become effective regent of France. Having lied, cheated, forged and murdered to make his way here, Robert expects his just reward: the contested title to Artois to finally be ripped from the hands of his malevolent aunt Mahaut (also a liar, cheater, forger and murderer) and placed in his own.
However, things rarely (if at all) seem to work out for the throne of France, and Robert may be about to discover that this time of his greatest power is also that of his greatest weakness.

Art and Authenticity is a collection of essays exploring the ideas of authenticity, originality and replication in art. Across a wide range of periods and contexts it looks at both the empirical process of establishing if a work is “authentic” in the sense that it is correctly attributed, but also how a piece of work can be authentic in terms of creative originality, or if a copy can be authentic or not, as well as how this impacts the art markets and the wider art world.

The blurb purports that the book will help us understand a science of society that enables us to predict and analyse human behaviour by looking at the impact of decisions taken in large groups. Or something like that – it isn’t terribly clear. The interior is concerned with the discipline of econophysics – applying statistical physics to economics to understand how individual behaviours emerge in group outcomes, from traffic and the stock exchange to the ways in which people try to escape a burning building. Economics has striven to become more scientific for decades: in this book Ball demonstrates how that can be achieved.
