The Stories of Genesis
The first ever translation of the third edition of Gunkel's introduction to his commentary on the book of Genesis. This work laid out the principles of form criticism and transformed biblical studies forever. Now, for the first time, English readers have access to Gunkel's later thought and to the numerous additions and changes which he made to the first edition. This volume, translated by John J. Scullion, S.J. and edited by W. R. Scott, includes an introduction which discusses terminology, biographical data on Gunkel, an analysis of his contributions to scholarship, and a thorough index.
Civilizing Rituals
Illustrated with over fifty photos, Civilizing Rituals merges contemporary debates with lively discussion and explores central issues involved in the making and displaying of art as industry and how it is presented to the community. Carol Duncan looks at how nations, institutions and private individuals present art , and how art museums are shaped by cultural, social and political determinants. Civilizing Rituals is ideal reading for students of art history and museum studies, and professionals in the field will also find much of interest here.
BEYOND THE PRADO
"In Beyond the Prado, Selma Reuben Holo argues that Spanish state and regional leaders consciously used the power of museums to foster democratic identity in the country's citizens. In case studies such as the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Sephardic Museum in Toledo, and IVAM, the modern and contemporary art museum in Valencia, she tells how museums and their exhibitions have touched off vigorous debates around such issues as Basque autonomy, the relationship of art museums and politics, Catalan identity, and the opposing pull of local and global cultures. Holo chronicles how neglect of the Prado and government acquisition of the renowned Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection have affected Spain's public image and describes the controversies surrounding Picasso's Guernica."--BOOK JACKET.

Deep Storage
Everybody collects something, sometime. Many artists have discovered collecting and saving as a means of artistic expression and have made the storage of objects and information the subject of their work. This ranges from digital memory to rows and stacks of materials to shelves, packaging crates, installations, and entire areas filled with diverse objects stored systematically or in states of utter chaos.
