Sinossi

Art Scandals explores the volatile intersection of art, society, and controversy by examining exhibitions that ignited public outrage and sparked critical cultural debates. It delves into how art functions as a catalyst for discourse, revealing societal tensions. For example, controversies surrounding public art often highlight differing views on social norms and artistic freedom. The book uniquely presents these infamous moments, not as isolated incidents, but as essential events in art history that expose ongoing negotiations about power, representation, and freedom of speech.

 
The book uses case studies to dissect specific scandals, analyzing the artworks, public reactions, and arguments from all sides. It begins by defining artistic transgression, then explores pivotal scandals involving censorship, obscenity, blasphemy, and political dissent.

 
Ultimately, Art Scandals analyzes the long-term impact of these events on artistic practices, legal precedents, and public attitudes, illustrating how these controversies continue to shape contemporary debates about art's role in society, thereby providing a historical framework for understanding ongoing disputes.

    In May, 1986, at the Court of Appeals in Athens, Dr. Montgomery successfully defended three evangelical missionaries who had been given three-and-a half year prison terms for "proselytizing." The President of the United States and many congressional leaders had written to the Greek government in support of the defendants. Following the trial, Dr. Montgomery was asked to deliver a lecture on the subject at the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem (June 19, 1986). Here is the recording of that account of one of the major Christian human rights trials of our time.

    Elections - A Very Short...

    Elections occur in all democracies and many nondemocratic regimes as well. They determine who will hold public office and who will have the power to govern. They connect citizens to those whom they choose to make decisions on their behalf and who regulate their behavior. This book looks comparatively at the key aspects of elections. In addition to describing types of electoral systems, it discusses the implications of the various systems for the administration of elections, voter participation, representation, government stability, and other factors. Where appropriate, it examines efforts to reform a nation's (or a sub-national entity's) system, exploring the impetus for reform and the effects of those reforms when implemented. 
     
     
     
    L. Sandy Maisel and Jennifer A. Yoder lay out the variety of electoral systems in the broadest terms—single-member district plurality systems; proportional systems; and mixed systems. They discuss voting and the various electoral institutions used to implement the ways in which voting occurs and how votes are tabulated across electoral systems. They analyze the consequences of each system, first for the functioning of the democracy, and second for the electoral strategies politicians employ, closing with a discussion of reforms under consideration in a number of countries.

    A diagnosis of bipolar disorder can be scary... but it also opens up an opportunity for growth and stability. Ready to find the answers? Around one in every 100 people is diagnosed with bipolar disorder at some point in their lives… but if you're one of them, it probably feels more isolating than that. Despite the rising awareness of mental health challenges, it's a condition still shrouded in misunderstanding, and while you're caught up in the extreme highs and lows it presents, it's difficult to understand it yourself, let alone help anyone else to understand it. A diagnosis can bring a sense of relief—an explanation to help you finally make sense of what's been happening with you… but it can also be scary. Mariah Carey, who's spoken outwardly about her experience with bipolar disorder, said that she "didn't want to believe" it when she was given her diagnosis… and perhaps that's a feeling you can relate to. It can make you feel terribly alone, especially when you don't understand all the nuances of bipolar disorder or how to manage it well… But this is where your diagnosis is a blessing. Now that you know you have it, you can dive beneath the hood and implement techniques that you didn't know to try before now. But when there's so much to know, where do you start? Right here. Written by an author whose diagnosis marked a positive turning point, this empathetic and holistic approach to understanding and managing bipolar disorder will show you exactly what you need to know. Whether you're living with the condition yourself or you're caring for someone who is, your journey toward understanding starts here. You might think a diagnosis is the end of your journey… It all makes sense now, after all. But this is just the start of your path—because with a deeper understanding and a wealth of strategies you can turn to at any time, you can completely transform your daily experience.
