Sinossi

Contested Artifacts explores the complex world of cultural property disputes, where history, art, and world politics collide. The book delves into artifact repatriation, examining how international law, ethics, and national identity fuel conflicts over cultural heritage. Did you know that the Benin Bronzes, for example, are claimed by Nigeria from various European museums, highlighting the legacy of colonial-era acquisition? The study emphasizes that resolving these disputes requires a nuanced approach, considering historical context and ethical responsibilities beyond simple legal claims.

 
The book uniquely balances legal and ethical dimensions, analyzing cases like the Elgin Marbles and the Koh-i-Noor diamond to illustrate the multifaceted nature of these disputes. It progresses by first introducing foundational concepts, and then moves on to specific case studies, incorporating perspectives from museums, governments, and indigenous communities.

 
Ultimately, it proposes collaborative frameworks for resolving disputes, emphasizing shared stewardship and cultural exchange.

    How medieval architects drew cathedral building plans
    The architectural history of the Middle Ages is full of surprises. It is difficult for us to imagine today that relatively few construction plans have been found for the impressive churches and cathedrals of the Romanesque and Gothic periods. Where did most of the drawings go? Have the plans been destroyed in Europe or lost over time? Or were they not made at all? 
    Although hardly any architectural drawings exist, there were numerous compasses. What were they used for and how? Was it possible to design complex buildings such as churches and cathedrals without blueprints? 
    The author takes her readers on an exciting cultural and historical journey through time. 
    She looks at the spread of papyrus, parchment and paper and traces the ability to write and calculate in Europe. She also looks at the construction process in historical illustrations and draws comparisons with Arabic architecture. Last but not least, she shows what types of compasses existed and how the drawing skills of master builders developed up to the Renaissance. 
    The insights into the history of architecture lead to surprising findings: The architects of the Middle Ages thought and planned very differently than we imagine today.

    Jackson - The Iron-Willed Commander

    Orphan. Frontiersman. President. The rise of Andrew Jackson to the highest office in America has become a legend of leadership, perseverance, and ambition. Central to Jackson's historic climblong before the White House—was his military service. Scarred permanently as a child by the sword of a British soldier, Jackson grew into an unwavering leader, a general whose charisma and sheer force of personality called to mind those of George Washington a generation earlier. 
    As commander of the Tennessee militia in the War of 1812, Jackson became "Old Hickory," the indomitable spearhead in a series of bloody conflicts with Creek Indians on the southwest frontier. Slight of frame with silver hair that seemed to stand on command, Jackson once stood down a mutinous brigade as an army of one. Then came New Orleans. Author Paul Vickery chronicles Jackson's defining battle and the decisions a single, impassioned commander made to ensure a growing nation could, once and for all, be free of British might. The hero of New Orleans infused America, for the first time, with a sense of nationalism. 
    Jackson was decisive and unforgiving, a commander firmly in his element. In his own words, "One man with courage makes a majority." The lessons of one extraordinary general endure.
