  Glasgow: A New History

  Scotland's largest city has always been one of the most vibrant, varied and fascinating places in the country.
  This new history of Glasgow begins with the river, for the Clyde made the city flourish. From prehistory to the Romans, to Mungo and the kingdom of Strathclyde, it's a rich, quirky and moving story that remembers the foundation of the burgh by the bishops and moves rapidly to the Union of 1707, when Edinburgh lost a parliament and Glasgow gained access to an empire and business boomed.
  Immigrants began to arrive: Highlanders, Irish families fleeing the famine, Jews fleeing persecution and lately Asians who transformed tastes. Britain's favourite dish, chicken tikka masala, was invented in the city. Football, architecture, heavy industry, politics and a distinctive sense of humour are all celebrated. Glasgow has never hesitated to reinvent itself – because its greatest resource has always been its people.
  They belong to Glasgow and Glasgow belongs to them. This is their story.

  Intelligence - Exploring...

  Intelligence is a multifaceted and complex concept that has intrigued scholars, psychologists, and philosophers for centuries. While it is often linked to academic success, intelligence encompasses far more than the ability to solve problems or excel in standardized tests. At its core, intelligence is the capacity to learn, adapt, reason, understand, and apply knowledge to navigate the world around us. Its study has evolved significantly over time, with numerous theories and models aiming to define, measure, and understand it in its various forms. 
    
  The concept of intelligence is not fixed; rather, it changes depending on cultural, environmental, and societal contexts. Different societies may value specific cognitive abilities, such as logical reasoning, creativity, or emotional understanding, over others. This variance has led to the development of numerous theories that attempt to capture the essence of human intelligence. From early psychological studies to contemporary research, the exploration of intelligence continues to spark debate among scholars and practitioners alike.

  This is Not New - Art Culture...

  Praise for Curationism: "Balzer writes with zest, skepticism, and sly humor" —Sheila Heti, author of Pure Colour 
   
   
   
  What does it mean to call something "new"? Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept? What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change? 
   
   
   
  In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artifacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend—a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it. The culture industry promises its own form of change while preserving existing systems of power exactly as they are. 
   
   
   
  From the New Jerusalem to the New Left, from Vannevar Bush to Kate Bush, This is Not New asks difficult questions about the role of culture not in making change, but in delaying—even preventing—it.
