Synopsis

Museum Exhibit Scandals explores the dramatic intersection of art, culture, and societal values through controversial museum exhibits. It investigates how art can challenge norms, provoke discussions, and sometimes incite public outrage, revealing the complex role of museums as cultural gatekeepers. The book highlights that these controversies, though divisive, often catalyze societal self-reflection, forcing critical conversations about censorship and artistic freedom.

 
Did you know that some exhibits have sparked legal battles over artistic expression? Or that cultural appropriation in art can trigger intense public debate? 

 
The book unfolds systematically, beginning with key concepts like artistic freedom and museum ethics. It then delves into specific case studies, thematically grouped by the nature of the controversy, such as religious offense, sexual content, political commentary, and cultural appropriation. Each case study examines the artwork, public response, legal battles, and long-term consequences. By doing so, the book offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary analysis of museum exhibit scandals, exploring the social, cultural, and legal forces at play.

the trivialities of existence?

Beware of the Narcissist - (2...

Michael Wright, Larry Tate

"Beware of the Narcissist: Mastering the Art of Identifying and Counteracting Narcissism in Relationships and in One Self" uniquely merges two insightful books into one indispensable guide, offering a comprehensive understanding of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) from both an interpersonal and personal standpoint. This two-in-one volume, authored by Michael Wright and Larry Tate, becomes an essential tool for navigating the complexities of narcissism.
In the first part of this combined edition, "Narcissism Decoded" by Michael Wright, the focus is on the dynamics of NPD in relationships. Wright offers a detailed exploration of how narcissists' self-centered behavior impacts their partners, providing readers with the knowledge to identify narcissistic traits, understand their origins, and tackle the difficulties that arise in such relationships. The book also shares critical advice on coping strategies, recognizing toxic relationship patterns, and explores available treatments for those involved with narcissists.
Complementing this, the second part, "Are You a Narcissist?" by Larry Tate, invites readers to reflect inwardly. It serves as an ultimate guide to self-assessment for narcissistic traits, offering a mirror to those who might be sliding towards narcissistic personality disorder. Tate's insightful analysis covers the repercussions of an inflated self-image on personal relationships, the challenges in professional environments, and the darker aspects of narcissism, including rage and contempt.
Together, these books provide a dual perspective on narcissism. "Beware of the Narcissist" is more than a guide; it's a deep dive into understanding and mitigating the impacts of narcissistic behaviors in relationships and within oneself.

America's Youngest Ambassador -...

Lena Nelson

In 1982, amid the nuclear paranoia that engulfed the US and the Soviet Union, Samantha Smith, a fifth grader from Manchester, Maine, wrote a letter to the Kremlin asking the Soviet leader if he was going to start a war. When Pravda, the biggest Soviet newspaper, published her letter—and Samantha received an unprecedented invitation to visit the Soviet Union —her family embarked on a historic journey. 
 
 
 
The story of a young American girl's letter to the Soviet leader and her innocent curiosity about the other side of the Iron Curtain holds an important lesson for every American. America's Youngest Ambassador provides insights into a forgotten era and has an important message for young people who strive to be more involved in facilitating change, both locally and worldwide. 
 
 
 
Juxtaposing Samantha's narrative with that of her own childhood in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, Lena Nelson explores the consequences of government propaganda on both sides of the ocean and reveals how Samantha Smith's journey in the summer of 1983 helped melt the hearts of the Soviets and thaw the ice of the Cold War. Drawing on interviews conducted in both the US and Russia with key players in the events of those days, Nelson blends storytelling, anecdotes, and analysis of Soviet-American relations to tell the story of this unprecedented moment in history.

Dying Green - A Journey through...

Christine Vatovec

The slow violence being inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? 
 
 
  
In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of health care. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient's bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet.
