Museum Collections Trade

Sinopsis

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 Case Of Wagner Nietzsche...

Friedrich Nietzsche

What happens when a philosopher declares war on an artist who once inspired him?
In this provocative collection, Friedrich Nietzsche - iconoclast, poet of ideas, and architect of modern existentialism - turns his formidable intellect against Richard Wagner, the composer he once revered. The result is a searing psychological and aesthetic autopsy of genius, decadence, and the struggle between art and truth.
Nietzsche’s voice echoes through the ages in The Case of Wagner, a charged and theatrical critique of Wagner’s music, values, and legacy. In Nietzsche Contra Wagner, he deepens the attack, dissecting the moral, cultural, and personal tensions between their divergent paths. The Selected Aphorisms that follow offer piercing reflections on music, morality, truth, and the human spirit—each a spark in Nietzsche’s incendiary philosophy.
Written in his unmistakable style - ironic, lyrical, ruthless—these texts mark the culmination of a fractured friendship and the birth of a new philosophical vision. They embody the turmoil of a thinker who challenged the foundations of Western culture, and whose ideas continue to resonate in debates on art, identity, and modernity.
Now brought to life in a clear, refined AI narration, this audiobook offers a crisp and immersive experience - faithful to the cadence and clarity Nietzsche’s work demands. Whether you are a longtime admirer or a curious newcomer, this journey into Nietzsche’s thought will provoke, challenge, and awaken.
Enter the mind of one of history’s most fearless thinkers - press play, and confront the beautiful chaos within.

Literature and the New Culture...

Deborah Appleman

Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? 
 
 
 
Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right—to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled—school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. 
 
 
 
In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.

Love Teaching Keep Teaching -...

Peter Radford

Written by speaker and teacher Peter Radford, Love Teaching, Keep Teaching: The essential guide to improving wellbeing at all levels in schools is a practical guide to staying well in a high-pressure profession.
In the midst of a recruitment crisis and a massive exodus of teachers from our schools, now is the time for some joined-up thinking about teacher wellbeing and mental health.
Offering insightful advice and practical strategies, Peter invites you to think differently about the way education is ‘done’ and how you can keep doing the job you love without sacrificing your health and wellbeing.
Love Teaching, Keep Teaching paints a picture of a truly ‘healthy school’ as being one in which the value of each staff member and student is fundamental to everything we do. It also shares a fresh perspective on school leadership, encouraging leaders to rethink common practices and to explore the rewards and benefits of employing a people-focused approach.
Split into three parts, the book covers the following key aspects of improving wellbeing in schools:
1. Teachers and leaders improving their own wellbeing.
2. The role of teachers and leaders in improving wellbeing across schools.
3. The challenge to change the culture of our schools and education system.
Peter challenges the current way of measuring student progress and appraising teachers, and sends a wake-up call to encourage professionals and policymakers to ‘do’ education differently in order to prevent the current exodus of teachers from the profession. Furthermore, Peter also draws upon his own experiences as a teacher struggling under the heavy workload that ultimately played a part in his subsequent breakdown – and draws key lessons from his reflections to help other educators avoid the same fate.
Suitable for teachers and school leaders in both primary and secondary settings.
