Reading Freud
Winner of the 2010 Sigourney Award! Reading Freud provides an accessible outline of the whole of Freud's work from Studies in Hysteria through to An Outline of Psycho-Analysis. It succeeds in expressing even the most complex of Freud's theories in clear and simple language whilst avoiding over-simplification. Each chapter concentrates on an individual text and includes valuable background information, relevant biographical and historical details, descriptions of Post-Freudian developments and a chronology of Freud's concepts. By putting each text into the context of Freud's life and work as a whole, Jean-Michel Quinodoz manages to produce an overview which is chronological, correlative and i...
Bernard V. Bothmer, Egyptologist in the Making, 1912 Through July 1946
Due to his disapproval of National Socialism the German-American curator and art historian Bernard V. Bothmer (1912-1993) saw himself forced to interrupt his study of Egyptology and lost his employment at the Egyptological department of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. This biography follows Bothmer's career from his birth in Berlin-Charlottenburg and his youth as a member of the "Circle" surrounding the poet Stefan George, his emigration to Switzerland in 1939, his journey to the USA 1941 and his service in the US Army until August 1946, when he was able to resume his Egyptological career anew. The study is based on family correspondence, Bothmer's own diaries and documents from archives in Boston, New York, Milan and Basel. Bothmer's own description of his escape from Geneva via Lisbon to the USA in October 1941 is edited as an appendix.

Public Intellectuals in the Global Arena
What is a public intellectual? Where are they to be found? What accounts for the lament today that public intellectuals are either few in number or, worse, irrelevant? While there is a small literature on the role of public intellectuals, it is organized around various thinkers rather than focusing on different countries or the unique opportunities and challenges inherent in varied disciplines or professions. In Public Intellectuals in the Global Arena, Michael C. Desch has gathered a group of contributors to offer a timely and far-reaching reassessment of the role of public intellectuals in a variety of Western and non-Western settings. The contributors delineate the centrality of historica...
