Beschreibung

Marble in Art explores why marble became the quintessential material for sculptors during the Classical and Renaissance periods. The book illuminates the geological properties of marble, such as the prized Pentelic and Carrara types, and their impact on artistic production. Also, it delves into how sculpting techniques evolved from early Greek kouroi to Michelangelo's masterpieces. The book uniquely examines the interplay of resource availability, technological advancements, patronage, and cultural values that elevated marble's status. It progresses by detailing marble's geological origins, then moves to the evolution of sculpting techniques and historical developments, and culminates with the socio-economic contexts supporting marble sculpture. This approach challenges the isolation of artistic choices, emphasizing socio-economic and material conditions.

    The African-American history is fragment of America’s history which precisely converses the Black American traditional groups staying in United States of America. Maximum of this population are original people of Africa who were deliberately brought and kept in confinement in the United States of America from 1555 to 1865. Many blacks whose ancestors had emigrated from the Caribbean to America are also considered to be African-American as their roots go back to Central or West Africa. 
    They have been referred by many names in the American history like ‘Negro’ and ‘coloured’, these terms are no more acceptable, African-American is an acceptable term and has a different implication completely. 
    Precisely what fragment of the African-American population is of exclusively African descent is unknown. In the past hundreds of years there has been a substantial mix of people from Africa with Europeans and American-Indians. Factually, the principal approach to racial group association in the United States of America has been that people having any Black-African roots are considered to be African-American. 
    The book discusses how they made their way to America and settled down here forcibly and adapted to the new environment. Their struggle to get their basic rights and how they finally came up emergent and now freely roam the soils of America with heads held high.

    A reflective, original invitation to recover and cultivate the human experiences that have atrophied in our virtual world. 
     
     
     
    We embraced the mediated life—from Facetune and Venmo to meme culture and the Metaverse—because these technologies offer novelty and convenience. But they also transform our sense of self and warp the boundaries between virtual and real. What are the costs? Who are we in a disembodied world? 
     
     
     
    In The Extinction of Experience, Christine Rosen investigates the cultural and emotional shifts that accompany our embrace of technology. In warm, philosophical prose, Rosen reveals key human experiences at risk of going extinct, including face-to-face communication, sense of place, authentic emotion, and even boredom. Considering cultural trends, like TikTok challenges and mukbang, and politically unsettling phenomena, like sociometric trackers and online conspiracy culture, Rosen exposes an unprecedented shift in the human condition, one that habituates us to alienation and control. To recover our humanity and come back to the real world, we must reclaim serendipity, community, patience, and risk.

    What happens to the US Army after the battles are over, the citizen soldiers depart, and all that remains is the Regular Army? In this pathbreaking work, Brian Linn argues that in each decade following every major conflict since the War of 1812 the postwar army has undergone a long, painful, and remarkably consistent recovery process as it struggled to build a new model force to replace the "Old Army" that entered the conflict. 
     
     
     
    Real Soldiering provides the first comprehensive study of the US Army's transition from war to peace. Linn challenges three common historical interpretations: confusing Washington policy with implementation in the field; conflating postwar armies with prewar armies; and describing certain postwar eras as distinct and transformational. Rather, Linn examines the postwar force as a distinct entity worthy of study as a unique and important part of US Army history. 
     
     
     
    Real Soldiering represents over four decades of research into the US Army and is deeply informed by Linn's experiences teaching and working with soldiers. Insightful and entertaining, provocative and empathetic, and a work of history with immediate relevance, Real Soldiering will resonate with military historians, defense analysts, and those who have proudly worn the US Army uniform.
