Sinossi

Public Monuments explores the significant role of public art, particularly sculptures, in shaping our understanding of history, cultural values, and civic identity. These monuments, often seen as static objects, are in fact dynamic agents that actively influence collective memory and spark important conversations about historical representation. The book delves into how societies use these three-dimensional artworks to honor historical figures, commemorate significant events, and foster a sense of community.

 
The book examines the historical context surrounding the creation and reception of public monuments, revealing how prevailing ideologies and power structures influence their design and placement. For example, the selection of specific artistic representations of historical figures can greatly impact public perception of their legacy.

 
The book progresses through three key sections, first analyzing monuments dedicated to individuals, then those commemorating events, and finally, the role of public sculpture in fostering civic pride. By analyzing diverse case studies, the book highlights the complex interplay between artistic representation, historical interpretation, and social meaning. It demonstrates that public monuments are subject to constant reinterpretation, reflecting shifts in cultural values and historical perspectives. This approach emphasizes the active role of the viewer in shaping the meaning of public monuments and makes a valuable contribution to the fields of history, art, and cultural studies.

The Bob Dylan Quiz Book - 1000...

Mart Matthews

How much do you really know about the man from Minnesota? You can find out by exploring the 1,000 questions set out in 100 categories that make up the Bob Dylan Quiz Book.
Bob Dylan's work is chock-full of references. It's one of the things that puts him in front of the rest, where he's always been. All the usual suspects are inside, but how many books on Dylan include references to War and Peace, Maigret, Proust, Moby-Dick, Boardwalk Empire, Kafka, Charlie Chaplin, Paradise Lost, Trotsky and Regent's Park Zoo? This one does!
Try these for size:
1. The first four words of Bob's response to the 'Judas' heckler in 1966 also formed the title of one of his songs. Which one was it, and from which album did it come?
2. Not counting words that form parts of larger words, can you name the four Beatles singles that can be found in the lyrics of Dylan's Tangled Up in Blue?
3. On Maggie's Farm, the eponymous Maggie's Ma is less than straight about
her age. How old does she claim to be and how old is she in reality?
4. Which innovative guitarist who died in 2024 produced in 1965 a very rare beast, namely an album of Dylan's songs minus the words?

Meeting of Minds - Volume VIII

Steve Allen

By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are Greek philosopher Aristotle, Italian diplomat and author Niccolo Machiavelli, English poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Chinese statesman Sun Yat-Sen.
