Situational Aesthetics
The essays in this volume provide a succinct overview of Victor Burgin's multifaceted work during the last forty years--from its origins in debates within conceptual art to its present concern with everyday perception in the environment of global media.
Genocide in Yugoslavia
Pt. 1 (pp. 15-134), "Genocide - an International Crime", presents a history of genocide from antiquity to the present and a history of the development of the judicial notion of genocide, and surveys socio-psychological and philosophical theories of genocide. Pt. 2 (pp. 137-438), "Genocide of the Serbs, Jews and Gypsies in Yugoslavia", focuses on the extermination of Serbs in the German-, Bulgarian- and Hungarian-occupied areas of Yugoslavia, especially in the puppet state of Croatia in 1941-44, but mentions also the genocide of Jews. Pp. 331-342, "The System of Concentration Camps", deal with Jasenovac and other concentration camps in Yugoslavia. Concentrates, essentially, on the perpetrators of genocide; contends that the guilt must be placed not only on Germany but also on Croatia and other forces.
Symbols

Considerable attention is paid to how various symbols have changed in meaning and form during their migrations. Among the configurations discussed: the triskelion, swastika, caduceus, double-headed eagle, "tree of life," lotus, and assorted crosses. 161 black-and-white illustrations plus 6 plates.

The Antonines
The Antonines - Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus and Commodus - played a crucial part in the development of the Roman empire, controlling its huge machine for half a century of its most testing period. Edward Gibbon observed that the epoch of the Antonines, the 2nd century A.D., was the happiest period the world had ever known. In this lucid, authoritative survey, Michael Grant re-examines Gibbon's statement, and gives his own magisterial account of how the lives of the emperors and the art, literature, architecture and overall social condition under the Antonines represented an `age of transition'. The Antonines is essential reading for anyone who is interested in ancient history, as well as for all students and teachers of the subject.
