Synopsis

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.

Back to Me - The Global Art of...

Quentin Drummond Anderson

Back to Me: The Global Art of Talking Without Listening is a sharp, funny, and globally informed exploration of how modern conversation has drifted into chaos. Quentin Drummond Anderson examines why, in a world louder than ever, silence has become the rarest sound — and listening an endangered skill. Drawing on a lifetime of cross-cultural experience, he takes readers from Tokyo to London, New York to Riyadh, revealing how every society has its own choreography of speech, interruption, and performance.
In Britain, conversation is a “polite ambush,” wrapped in apologies. Americans interrupt with enthusiasm, mistaking passion for empathy. Italians talk all at once, turning dialogue into an affectionate opera. In France, interruption is a duel; in the Nordic nations, silence is authority. Across Asia and the Middle East, measured speech and generous dialogue show how listening can still be an art.
Anderson dissects the conversational species of our age — from Interruptus Maximus to the Armchair Philosopher, from the Monologue Society to the Name Dropper — with the precision of a zoologist and the wit of a novelist. His analysis exposes not just how we speak, but what our habits reveal about insecurity, identity, and the universal hunger to be heard.
Yet Back to Me is ultimately hopeful. Anderson argues that beneath the noise lies the possibility of civility, humility, and curiosity — if we choose to reclaim them. “When everyone shouts,” he writes, “wisdom whispers.”
Insightful, cosmopolitan, and often laugh-out-loud funny, Back to Me is a timely guide to understanding how we lost the ability to listen — and how we might find it again.

Andrea Warner

A lively collection of essays that re-examines the extraordinary legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated ’90s music and changed the industry forever
		 
Fully revised and updated, with a foreword by Vivek Shraya
		 
“A fascinating, fun, and infuriating read.” — Tegan Quin, Tegan and Sara 
		 
In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became bonafide global superstars while revolutionizing ’90s music. In an era when male-fronted musical acts dominated radio and were given serious critical consideration, these four women were reduced, mocked, and disparaged by the media and became pop culture jokes, even as their albums were topping the charts and demolishing sales records.
		 
With empathy, humor, and reflections on her own teenaged perceptions of Céline, Shania, Alanis, and Sarah, Andrea offers us a revised and expanded edition of her 2015 book, providing a new perspective on the legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated the ’90s airwaves and influenced an entire generation of current day popstars with their voices, fashion, and advocacy. As the world is now reconsidering the treatment and reputations of key women in ’90s entertainment, We Oughta Know is definitively entering the chat.
