Chaos and Cosmos
Writing in 1940, the prominent German art historian Erwin Panofsky asked, "How, then, is it possible to build up art history as a respectable scholarly discipline, if its objects come into being by an irrational and subjective process?" In Chaos and Cosmos, Karen Lang addresses the power of art to resist the pressures of the transcendental vantage point-history. Uncovering the intellectual and cultural richness of the early years of academic art history in Germany—the period from the 1880s to 1940—she explores various attempts within art history to transform aesthetic phenomena—chaos—into the cosmos of a systematic, unified field of inquiry.Lang starts by examining Panofsky's approac...

The Zero Hour
Tony Evans' life has reached a breaking point: his longtime wife has filed for divorce and left with their daughter, Nicki. In Tony's darkest hour, he is laid off from the only career he has ever known as a reporter for The San Francisco Chronicle. Tony has become a fading relic in today's information age and feels pushed aside until he is summoned to San Quentin Prison's Death Row at the request of serial killer and condemned prisoner Reynaldo Ramirez. Ramirez asks Tony to publish the tales of his murderous exploits during his final week on Death Row. An initially dismissive Tony soon discovers that he cannot turn the request down after he learns that Ramirez's evil extends beyond his prison cell: he has had Tony's beloved daughter kidnapped. If the stories fail to appear in the paper, she dies. Tony struggles against the clock to glean the significance of every story that Ramirez tells, searching for clues to his daughter's whereabouts. Tony complies with the requests in order to buy time, and to uncover the secrets which will keep his daughter from becoming Reynaldo Ramirez's final victim. Can Tony find Nicki before the final tolling of The Zero Hour.

The First Modern Museums of Art
In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the first modern, public museums of art—civic, state, or national—appeared throughout Europe, setting a standard for the nature of such institutions that has made its influence felt to the present day. Although the emergence of these museums was an international development, their shared history has not been systematically explored until now. Taking up that project, this volume includes chapters on fifteen of the earliest and still major examples, from the Capitoline Museum in Rome, opened in 1734, to the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, opened in 1836. These essays consider a number of issues, such as the nature, display, and growth of the muse...
