Museum Memories
The author shows how museum culture offers a unique vantage point on the 19th and 20th centuries' preoccupation with history and subjectivity, and demonstrates how the constitution of the aesthetic provides insight into the realms of technology, industrial culture, architecture, and ethics.
Painting a New World
"The little-known story of viceregal Mexico is told by an international team of scholars whose work was previously available only piecemeal or not at all in English. Much of their research was undertaken especially for this volume."--BOOK JACKET.
Contested Visions in the Spanish Colonial World
An absorbing discussion of the myriad depictions of the indigenous people of Mexico and Peru in colonial times
Nineteenth-century Sculpture
A thorough reappraisal of the sculpture of the nineteenth century, illuminating the interaction between this art form and political, social and economic forces, the book is arranged chronologically in four parts; 1776-1815, 1815-1848, 1848-1870, 1870-1905; and within each period the scuplture is examined country by country. Richly illustrated with over 300 works, it focuses on such seminal figures as Canova, Thorvaldsen and Rodin.
Measuring Time
Explains how to keep track of the parts of the day with a clock; describes the development of the sundial, the hourglass, and the clock; and discusses minutes and seconds, telling time, analog and digital timepieces, and ways to express the time.
Cura Aquarum in Ephesus
The two volumes of this lavishly illustrated publication mirror the comprehensive spectrum of the 12th International Symposium 'Cura Aquarum in Ephesus.' They introduce the latest results in the research on the city's aqueducts and on other current projects in relationship to water engineering. Sections focus on current projects concerned with water-engineering in Anatolia, the remaining Mediterranean regions, the Near East and Mesopotamia as well as Gaul and Germania, special hydraulic engineering structures such as castella and pressurized water-supply lines, nymphaea, baths and latrines, water as depicted in mosaics, and complementary areas of research.
Shape Classification and Analysis
Because the properties of objects are largely determined by their geometric features, shape analysis and classification are essential to almost every applied scientific and technological area. A detailed understanding of the geometrical features of real-world entities (e.g., molecules, organs, materials and components) can provide important clues about their origin and function. When properly and carefully applied, shape analysis offers an exceedingly rich potential to yield useful applications in diverse areas ranging from material sciences to biology and neuroscience.
