Synopsis

War and Museums explores the profound and multifaceted relationship between armed conflicts and cultural institutions. It examines how museums, as guardians of cultural heritage and symbols of national identity, are affected by wartime destruction, the looting of artifacts, and ethical dilemmas surrounding cultural property protection. The book highlights that museums can transform from passive repositories into active participants in preserving and even manipulating collective memory.

 
The book delves into the deliberate destruction and collateral damage inflicted on museums during conflicts, noting instances where they become strategic targets. It also investigates the systematic looting of artifacts and the challenges of repatriation, emphasizing the vulnerability of cultural treasures.

 
Through case studies ranging from World War II to contemporary conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, War and Museums methodically examines the impact of war, covering historical context, ethical frameworks, and long-term consequences. The book's analysis progresses by first introducing the historical role of museums, then exploring specific conflicts through case studies. Following this, ethical and legal frameworks are discussed, leading to a final consideration of long-term consequences like rebuilding and repatriating looted artifacts. It offers a comprehensive view of the challenges museums face in a world marked by instability, making it valuable for museum professionals, historians, and policymakers alike.

The story follows teenager Marty McFly, who accidentally travels 30 years back in time using a time machine created by the eccentric inventor Doc Brown.

    "After the film's release, body kits were created for DeLoreans to resemble the time machine."

    Hamlet calls death "that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns." 
     
     
     
    But he's wrong. Some do return. 
     
     
     
    Each night after the applause dies, the curtain falls, the audience vanishes, the cleaners dust, and the lights are killed, great theatres become dark and silent places. But not always quite empty. 
     
     
     
    That's when the theatre ghosts make their entrance and strut and fret their hour upon the shadowed boards, illuminated only by the ghost light, the solitary lamp that is required to burn through the night on every Broadway stage. 
     
     
     
    Many of Broadway's busiest theatres continue to be just as busily haunted by spirits, some with well-known names and histories. 
     
     
     
    Good Morning, Olive (named for one of the most beautiful and temperamental of Broadway's ghosts) is about the ghosts that haunt theatres in New York and around the world. 
     
     
     
    Broadway is the playground of stars, so it's probably not surprising to learn that even its ghosts are stars. Meet some of Broadway's best known—and most active—celebrity ghosts. Don't worry: like Casper, they tend to be friendly. For the most part.

    British Architecture presents an original and engaging overview of the architecture of the British Isles, from medieval times to the present day. Avoiding the traditional approach of a chronological survey of architects and architectural style, each chapter presents a thematic exploration of key aspects of British architecture that endure across time and still have relevance today. Arnold also highlights the ways in which architecture can project national and regional identities. 
     
     
     
    British architecture tells of the intrinsic nature of Britishness and is an important means of understanding Britain's connection with the world. There is no doubt about the international significance of the work of recent and contemporary British architects. But Arnold also relates how a preoccupation with the past has been a constant theme in design. A thematic, historical understanding of British architecture in terms of its form and purpose explains much about society and culture. Architecture continues to shape patterns of living and social interaction and responds to new demands. Equally, debates about how best to express the nation through its architecture reveal much about Britain's perception of itself. Finally, Arnold explores how subsequent generations can offer new interpretations and meanings that change our view of British architecture's legacy.
