E-book The Hollywood Historical Film

The history film has played an exceptionally powerful role in shaping our culture’s understanding of the past, an influence that derives not simply from the cinema’s unequaled ability to re-create the past in a sensual, mimetic form, but also from its striking tendency to arouse critical and popular controversy that resonates throughout the public sphere. American films centered on the past…

E-book Handbook of Clay Science

Since people who work with clay come from diverse backgrounds and have diverse interests, there are probably as many concepts and views of clay as there are clay mineral species. It is not surprising, therefore, that clay scientists have varied trainings, including geology, mineralogy, chemistry, physics, and biology, and hold different perspectives.

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.

They assumed that I understood. That Brazilians would arrive late …

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…
