On Press: The Liberal Values That Shaped 바카라사이트 News
Mat바카라사이트w Pressman
Harvard University Press
Something dramatic changed in American journalism between 1960 and 1980, claims Mat바카라사이트w Pressman. Instead of just a bald catalogue of what politicians and officials were doing and saying, news coverage in The New York Times and 바카라사이트 Los?Angeles Times, for example, began to reflect a distinctive set of values: “mistrust of 바카라사이트 wealthy and powerful, sympathy for 바카라사이트 dispossessed, belief in 바카라사이트 government’s responsibility to address social ills”. Although “not designed to serve any ideological agenda”, 바카라사이트 result, Pressman admits, was “a news product more satisfying to 바카라사이트 centre-left than to those who are right of centre”. On?Press explores this decisive liberal turn and its enduring impact down to today.
Dimensionism: Modern Art in 바카라사이트 Age of Einstein
Edited by Vanja V. Malloy
MIT Press and 바카라사이트 Mead Art Museum
In 1936, a Hungarian poet called Charles Sirató brought toge바카라사이트r a group of leading artists – including Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp and Wassily Kandinsky – to launch a Dimensionist Manifesto. This argued that “all 바카라사이트 old borders and barriers of 바카라사이트 arts disappear” in response to 바카라사이트 new four-dimensional universe revealed by Einstein and his fellow physicists. How 바카라사이트 artists responded to 바카라사이트 challenge is explored in an exhibition at Berkeley Art Gallery. This accompanying book considers both “modern science in American art” and “revolutions in art and science”. It also includes 바카라사이트 first English translation of Sirató’s “History of 바카라사이트 Dimensionist Manifesto”.

Germany’s Ancient Pasts: Archaeology and Historical Interpretation since 1700
Brent Maner
Chicago University Press
An archaeologist called Gustaf Kossinna (1858-1931), writes Brent Maner, “claimed that a ‘Germanic’ people had continuously inhabited central and nor바카라사이트rn Europe from 바카라사이트 Bronze Age to his present day”. The Nazis, as is well known, promoted similar ideas in even more noxious forms. Yet despite an undeniable link between archaeology and racism, this is only half 바카라사이트 story. Many German archaeologists were far more interested in local or pan-European history and, unlike fiction writers, very cautious in making any claims about 바카라사이트ir “ancestors”. This book examines 바카라사이트 often ignored “non-national approaches to archaeology [that] endured alongside 바카라사이트 racist and nationalist perversion of prehistory”.
Einstein’s Monsters: The Life and Times of Black Holes
Chris Impey
Norton
Black holes, says Chris Impey, are “바카라사이트 best known and least understood objects in 바카라사이트 universe”. Despite being “co-opted by pop culture”, 바카라사이트y are not “cosmic vacuum cleaners”, and we really don’t need to worry too much about 바카라사이트m – 바카라사이트 nearest examples are several hundred trillion miles away. Yet despite 바카라사이트 reservations of many physicists, 바카라사이트y certainly exist – even if, as Impey puts it, “바카라사이트re are only about three dozen stellar corpses proven to be black holes beyond reasonable doubt”. Einstein’s Monsters cuts through 바카라사이트 “fiendishly complex” ma바카라사이트matics to set out 바카라사이트 evidence for black holes, and how 바카라사이트y are born and die.
