Sinopse

Museum Collections Trade delves into the intricate world of museum acquisitions, exploring how institutions curate their collections through exchange, loan, and occasionally, controversial deals. The book uncovers the often-secretive practices that govern how museums manage their holdings, influencing our understanding of both history and art. It tackles challenging topics, including deaccessioning, where museums remove items from collections; repatriation, the return of artifacts to their origins; and the ethical implications of acquisition, especially concerning artifacts obtained unethically. Consider, for instance, the Elgin Marbles controversy, a prime example of repatriation debates.

 
The book progresses by first defining core concepts such as deaccessioning and repatriation. It then examines the historical context, providing detailed case studies and legal frameworks that govern cultural property movement. A key argument is that increased transparency and ethical accountability are essential for fostering public trust.

 
The book concludes by proposing an ethical management framework balancing museum needs with the rights of communities, ultimately guiding museum professionals and policymakers in navigating the complexities of collections management and cultural heritage.

    The Prince of Evolution is the evolutionary reframing of one of the most important and 
    controversial political texts in history. It reframes Machiavelli’s The Prince as a text expressing a revolutionary political theory that expresses an evolutionary ‘best practice’ framework for political competition. 
     
    By applying the two patterns of evolution, natural and artificial, discovered by Charles Darwin and David R. Wood. In doing so it reveals new insights and value to be derived from Machiavelli’s original text. Most importantly, by providing an evolutionary framework for every human
     relationship that has ever existed, and reframes Machiavelli, the man, to be just as human as you or I.
     
    The Prince of Evolution is a groundbreaking work that will disrupt the entire field of political 
    science. And the way we all look at organizations, communities, and ourselves.

    Thanks to smartphones, war is everywhere, all the time. Anyone can view, analyze, and comment on photos, videos, or other warzone media. Where did this technology come from? And what does it mean for the future of war?This book explains why you see what you do on your phone, and how these devices shape our knowledge, conduct, and representation of war in the 2020s. It shows why smartphones are indispensable in peace and wartime: every device is a potential weapon, lines blur between war and daily life, and conflict becomes a shared digital experience. Social media platforms displace state-controlled narratives, amplifying violence and shaping war's legitimacy. Apps democratize conflict, enabling anyone to identify and attack perceived enemies. As the Ukraine war has shown, this new reality involves complex, unevenly distributed infrastructures, merging civilian communication with military targeting.With war accelerating beyond our comprehension, militaries have raced to benefit from and adapt to the smartphone age. Matthew Ford explores critical questions about today's hyper-connected battlefield.

    Recently, it has become increasingly evident that extreme concentrations of wealth and power have profound impacts on our politics, but extreme inequality's influence on our daily lives—and our futures—has been vastly overlooked.In Burned by Billionaires, Chuck Collins, an author and a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC, chronicles how the actions of the top .01% have severe consequences for the rest of us. Collins takes down the "myth of meritocracy," unraveling how the rich rig the game in their favor, resulting in a concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny (but growing) class of billionaires—leading to intense income and political polarization. Collins charts this economic, social, and ecological destruction and shows how these effects manifest in every facet of our society. 
     
    Collins argues that perhaps, worst of all, the concentration of wealth and power is leading to political hijacking, undermining the democratic principle that our votes matter equally. This book is an urgent call-to-action and road map to a more equitable society, where everyone has access to the resources that will allow them to thrive. Burned by Billionaires offers a pointed prescription for taking power back from the billionaire class and achieving the shared prosperity that comes from a healthy and equal society.
