Summary

National Museums explores the vital role these institutions play in shaping national identity and preserving cultural heritage worldwide. The book examines how museums function as more than just repositories of artifacts; they are active participants in constructing historical narratives and fostering a sense of collective memory. From their origins during the Enlightenment to contemporary debates surrounding repatriation, accessibility, and inclusivity, the book delves into the complex relationship between museums, nations, and their people. Intriguingly, national museums often served as instruments of national unity, designed to instill shared history and cultural pride. 

 
The book progresses through key sections, analyzing the role of national museums in constructing national narratives, exploring the challenges of representing diverse perspectives, and delving into the ethical dilemmas surrounding the acquisition and ownership of cultural artifacts. By examining museums through the lenses of art history, world history, and cultural studies, National Museums offers a comprehensive understanding of their significance, revealing how these institutions actively participate in defining and redefining national identity.

    Romantic Things - A Tree A Rock...

    Our thoughts are shaped as much by what things make of us as by what we make of them. Lyric poetry is especially concerned with things and their relationship to thought, sense, and understanding. In Romantic Things, Mary Jacobus explores the world of objects and phenomena in nature as expressed in Romantic poetry alongside the theme of sentience and sensory deprivation in literature and art. Jacobus discusses objects and attributes that test our perceptions and preoccupy both Romantic poetry and modern philosophy. John Clare, John Constable, Rainer Maria Rilke, W. G. Sebald, and Gerhard Richter make appearances around the central figure of William Wordsworth as Jacobus explores trees, rocks, clouds, breath, sleep, deafness, and blindness in their work. While she thinks through these things, she is assisted by the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Nancy. Helping us think more deeply about things that are at once visible and invisible, seen and unseen, felt and unfeeling, Romantic Things opens our eyes to what has been previously overlooked in lyric and Romantic poetry.

    Book 1: In toxic relationships, it’s all about control. There are many people who find themselves in a toxic relationship, but they don’t realize that they are in one, or they don’t know how to get out of it. This book gives solutions for those who are eager, curious, or simply desperate. Help yourself or another who struggles with an unhealthy relationship or manipulative person in his or her life. 
Book 2: You might know someone who is in a relationship with someone who is emotionally abusive, or you might be in a relationship with someone like that yourself. Or perhaps you don’t know how to recognize it and are curious how you can recognize the signs. Whichever the reason, you have come to the right address. 
Book 3: Since it is all over the media and the horrific stories echo through our empathetic ears, it is almost mandatory for any caring civilian in society to understand at least some basics when it comes to sexual abuse. The facts are out there, and it is really happening to people in secret and sometimes without hiding anything. In this book, you will learn to grasp the reality of this sad phenomenon in society. 
Book 4: Some of us may have been through it, and others have seen it in other people’s homes. Domestic violence is a serious problem. The stats don’t lie, but they aren’t completely accurate either. They reveal the victims who speak up, but not the ones who stay silent. If you are wondering what is involved in domestic violence, what to do, and how to recognize it, then you’ve come to the right place. 
Book 5: In this elaborate study, the specific issues that relate to suicidal tendencies are addressed. Causes and consequences come to light, and comparisons are made between countries, individuals, and triggers that influence a person in a depressive state to contemplate the unthinkable.

    Laura stared at the black cloud blotting out the sun. The cloud was unlike anything she had ever seen. As it got closer, it made a strange noise, like hail pelting the ground. Suddenly the sky began to rain grasshoppers. The bugs clung to Laura's hair and clothes and peered at her with bulging eyes. Soon they began destroying Papa's crops. From the big woods of Wisconsin to the Indian country of the Great Plains, new adventures and landscapes filled the rich childhood of Laura Ingalls Wilder. On a frontier steeped in both danger and great possibility, Laura would grow up to witness firsthand the rapid transformation of the West as pioneers and covered wagons gave way to farms, towns, and railroads. A pioneer, teacher, farmer's wife, and storyteller, Laura Ingalls Wilder experienced one of the most exciting times in American history -- history that this gifted writer brought to life for millions and preserved for generations to come.
