Sinossi

"Rise of Bronze" explores the transformative period when bronze replaced stone as the primary material for sculpture in the ancient world. It examines how this shift wasn't just a technological upgrade, but a catalyst for artistic and cultural change. The book highlights the unique properties of bronze, such as its strength and malleability, which allowed for more intricate and durable artworks compared to their stone predecessors. It also delves into the development of lost-wax casting, a technique that enabled artists to create highly detailed and complex sculptures. 

 
The narrative progresses by first laying out the historical context and then exploring the evolution of bronze casting techniques. It examines the economic and cultural factors influencing bronze's adoption, including trade routes and patronage. The book uses archaeological findings and historical texts to support its arguments, offering a comprehensive understanding of bronze's impact. 

 
This study is significant because bronze represented a technological leap, enabling artists to create more intricate and durable works than ever before. What sets this book apart is its focus on the interplay between metallurgy, art, and society, showing how bronze shaped artistic expression and reflected cultural values. It explains complex concepts in an accessible way, making it valuable for anyone interested in art history and ancient history.

    As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. 
     
     
     
    Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: 
     
     
     
    ● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? 
     
     
     
    ● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? 
     
     
     
    ● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?

    A New Yorker Best Book of the YearHair is always and everywhere freighted with meaning. In nineteenth-century America, however, hair took on decisive new significance as the young nation wrestled with its identity. During the colonial period, hair was usually seen as bodily discharge, even "excrement." But as Sarah Gold McBride shows, hair gradually came to be understood as an integral part of the body, capable of exposing truths about the individuals from whom it grew—even truths they wanted to hide.As the United States diversified—intensifying divisions over race, class, citizenship status, and region—Americans sought to understand and classify one another through the revelatory power of hair: its color, texture, length, even the shape of a single strand. While hair styling had long offered clues about one's social status, the biological properties of hair itself gradually came to be seen as a scientific tell: a reliable indicator of whether a person was a man or a woman; Black, white, Indigenous, or Asian; Christian or heathen; healthy or diseased. Hair was even thought to illuminate aspects of personality—whether one was courageous, ambitious, or criminally inclined. Yet if hair was a teller of truths, it was also readily turned to purposes of deception in ways that alarmed some and empowered others. Indeed, hair helped many Americans to fashion statements about political belonging, to engage in racial or gender passing, and to reinvent themselves.A history inscribed in bangs, curls, and chops, Whiskerology illuminates a period in American history when hair indexed belonging in some ways that may seem strange—but in other ways all too familiar—today.
