Thinking in the Past Tense
If the vibrancy on display in Thinking in the Past Tense is any indication, the study of intellectual history is enjoying an unusually fertile period in both Europe and North America. This collection of conversations with leading scholars brims with insights from such diverse fields as the history of science, the reception of classical antiquity, book history, global philology, and the study of material culture. The eight practitioners interviewed here specialize in the study of the early modern period (c. 1400–1800), for the last forty years a crucial laboratory for testing new methods in intellectual history. The lively conversations don’t simply reveal these scholars’ depth and breadth of thought; they also disclose the kind of trade secrets that historians rarely elucidate in print. Thinking in the Past Tense offers students and professionals alike a rare tactile understanding of the practice of intellectual history. Here is a collectively drawn portrait of the historian’s craft today.
Forgery Beyond Deceit
What do forgeries do? Forgery Beyond Deceit: Fabrication, Value, and the Desire for Ancient Rome explores that question with a focus on forgery in ancient Rome and of ancient Rome. Its chapters reach from antiquity to the twentieth century and cover literature and art, the two areas thatpredominate in forgery studies, as well as the forgery of physical books, coins, and religious relics. The book examines the cultural, historical, and rhetorical functions of forgery that extend beyond the desire to deceive and profit. It analyses forgery in connection with related phenomena likepseudepigraphy, fakes, and copies; and it investigates the aesthetic and historical value that forgeries possess when scholarship takes seriously their form, content, and varied uses within and across cultures. Of particular interest is the way that forgeries embody a desire for the ancient and forthe recovery of the fragmentary past of ancient Rome.
Legend of the King
Legend of the King is a fantasy battle manga about a fearless 12 year old boy named Kios, who is living the life of an ordinary shepherd boy. Then suddenly he finds his life transformed forever when he meets the mystical seer, Zora, who selects Kios to be the newly anointed king of Kavalie. While on his journey to fulfill his new destiny, Kios finds that the trek is loaded with colossal challenges. At every turn there are overwhelming obstacles to conquer, not the least of which is the fact that theres already a king sitting on the Kavalie throne. King Azor, a king teetering on the edge of insanity. And it goes without saying that hes unwilling to give up his throne to the likes of a young, unproven whelp. Complicating matters even more is the ever present threat of the Dark Nation, Which has been at war with the Kavalie people for more than 100 years. So, to save his nation, Kios must face off against, and defeat, King Azor and the 7 invincible Dark Lords. Can Kios overcome these obstacles and claim his rightful place as king?
Built to Last
"Built to Last: 100+ Year-Old Hotels East of the Mississippi" is a sequel to my 2011 book, "Built To Last: 100+ Year-Old Hotels in New York." It has 86 chapters, one for each century-old hotel (of 50 rooms or more) east of the Mississippi River and each is illustrated by an antique postcard. The Foreword was written by Joseph McInerney, CHA, President of the American Hotel & Lodging Association. The book has been accepted for promotion, distribution and sale by the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute. My research into the histories of these hotels turned up fascinating stories about single-minded developers, brilliant and accidental architects, dedicated owners, famous and infamous guests and even the story of an underground bunker-shelter the size of two football fields built under a hotel to house the U.S. Government in the event of a nuclear war.
