Sinopse

First Public Sculptures delves into the origins of monumental art, revealing how ancient societies leveraged these creations to mold public consciousness and establish civic identity. Exploring cultures from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to Greece and Rome, the book highlights how these sculptures served as potent symbols of power and cohesion. For instance, colossal statues of pharaohs weren't mere decorations, but declarations of divine authority. Similarly, the Greeks and Romans used sculpture in civic spaces to celebrate victories and honor citizens, thereby embodying ideals of justice. 

 
The book traces the evolution of public sculpture, focusing on its use to propagate political ideologies, educate the public, and shape collective memory. It examines specific cases with archaeological evidence, historical texts, and art-historical analysis. This approach distinguishes the book from broader surveys by focusing on the earliest examples and their immediate impact. 

 
The arguments in First Public Sculptures emerge from a multidisciplinary approach, integrating art history, archaeology, political science, and sociology. By analyzing primary source materials and existing scholarship, the book illustrates how these sculptures reflect and influence social dynamics. 

 
The book progresses by first examining pre-classical civilizations, then moving onto the early Greek and Roman societies, and finally focusing on political ideologies, public education, and collective memory.

What happens in the field, stays in the field. Or does it? 
After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of working in the field. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she’ll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn’t an option. 
But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she’s forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston. 
For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he’s in Cyprus and he’ll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. 
Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can’t afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.
