E-book A Short History of Bali : Indonesia's Hindu Realm

In the early 1980s I was sitting in the coffee shop of the Bali Beach Hotel in Sanur, reflecting on the strange fact that Dutch troops had come ashore nearby, less than 80 years previously, on their way to perpetrate one of the more extraordinary massacres in the history of colonialism. I did not know that the Japanese had also landed in this same area in 1942, or that the Dutch had returned he…

E-book A Geography of Time : The Temporal Misadventures of a Social Psycholog…

My class was scheduled from ten until noon. Many students came late. Several arrived after 10:30. A few showed up closer to eleven. Two came after that. All of the latecomers wore the relaxed smiles I later came to enjoy. Each one greeted me, and although a few apologized briefly, none seemed terribly concerned about being late. They assumed that I understood. That Brazilians would arrive late …

A personal word: many years ago, when we were first developing the United StatesHolocaust Memorial Museum, we struggled with the issue of how to end the perma-nent exhibit. We had come up with an appropriate beginning that would serve thefunction of taking visitors off the National Mall, taking them back what was thenfifty years in time, moving them a continent away and introducing them to a Eu…

E-book Incomparable Poetry : An Essay on the Financial Crisis of 2007–2008 …

What is it like to write poetry right now at this moment in world history? What is it unlike? Or, to avoid comparisons at all, what is poetry now? Fascists and an “alt-right” search for platforms, opposed but not often enough; global warming renders laugh-able our comfortable and anachronistic sense of cyclical change; secular stagnation mocks the entire program of austerity; a fra…

E-book Lockdown Cultures : The arts and humanities in the year of the pandemi…

April 2020. It had begun as little more than a flicker on a news feed, a tiny spark in a media agenda that was already crackling with the electric charge of a world increasingly divided. But as the Covid-19 crisis began to take hold, with every new outbreak confirming its deadly horror, two opposing phenomena very quickly began to emerge. The first was a kind of global solidarity in…

E-book The Science of War : Strategies, Tactics, and Logistics

Today in the world of 24-hour news, we cannot help but be aware of the brutality and human cost of war. It is difficult to imagine the festive atmosphere of parades and cheering as local regiments marched off to fight in the American Civil War, or even in the early days of World War I. Yet in spite of our lack of illusion about the reality of war, the idea of war still holds an enduring fascina…
