Until recently, the USA could only read the book, but finally we can here also watch "Civilisation: a Personal View by Kenneth Clark" (BBC, 1969) -- heralded as "a landmark series....possibly the greatest documentary ever made." It's now streaming on Britbox--until recently it was impossible to see in the USA, unless we owned a DVD player for European-region DVDs. So what, you may say. In reply, I'd draw attention to how Clark snubbed Luther as the low-life terrorist he actually was--Something you'd never hear anywhere in the USA now. Instead the USA hypocritically pretends Luther to be a humble humanitarian that he was not, while fanatically worshipping the new God of materialism that Luther himself would fervently destroy too.
Of course, Clark may have been more aware of the destructive force that Luther initiated than most, because Clark knew better how much knowledge Luther's reforms caused to be lost. In the last decades, we've also learned that information technology causes just as much disinformation as it saves knowledge--something Clark fully anticipated also. After watching the series, one knows Trumpism and the war on truth would've been no surprise to Kenneth Clark at all. Yet Clark's indubitably valid perspective remains hopeful that new affluence will overcome our widespread and increasingly violent objections to intellectualism. Maybe he was right, now evidenced by how 'internationalism' (which Clark himself admired as a necessary prerequisite for civilization) has finally enabled us to see this effectively banished documentary in the USA. We can perhaps remain hopeful that Internet media streaming of such great works across the boundaries of nations may have a greater effect on public consciousness in the future, after the masses become bored of the more immediate gratifications modern technologies have enabled, such as Twitter, superhero movies, etc. Sadly such maturations appear impossible within the span of my own life, but we may choose to remain hopeful for a future better world.
So OK, I'd myself have to take issue with Clark's naive assertions about many philosophers he mentions. Nonetheless, his passion for art and architecture more than made up for it. And it was surprisingly refreshing to revisit the 'personal view' of a 1960s Roman Catholic intellectual, now being old enough to appreciate many observations I was too young to understand when I lived in the UK--regardless that his opinionations are asserted with such emphatic cer

I can make out the words "Und ich kenne den Vater, und ich lasse mein Leben für die Schafe", which is from 'the good shepherd', John 10:11-16.
Could be something by Heinrich Schütz - any help finding this would be much appreciated!

Kenneth "Ryan" Clark was last seen at his parents home in Hancock, Michigan, where he was living, between the hours of midnight and 3 am on January 13, 2016.
From scent evidence gathered from dogs, he is believed to have walked down the hill of Dunstan road towards Front street.
After that, his scent was lost, and nothing is know about where he went. He did not appear to have crossed the Portage Lift bridge by foot upon examination of video evidence.
He may have walked somewhere else north of the bridge or crossed the bridge in a car. Taxi and bus companies did not know of anyone of his description leaving from the area within a couple days following his disappearance.
Ryan was believed to be wearing a puffy, olive-colored winter jacket,a black under-armor hoody, and a winter hat. When last seen he had a reddish-brown beard and small, wire rimmed glasses.

Does anybody here have experience with this brokerage in Maryland? They seem to specialize in oversized and industrial shipping.
We have mentioned many, we hope most if those that have influenced us profoundly, but we have left out, no excuses, Sir Kenneth Clark and his Civilization A Personal View. His opening remarks in By The Skin of Our Teeth and the series, generally, were vital to my understanding of Western Civilization and maps. -CAD4HerselfAndElisha
