The Correspondence of Dr. Martin Lister (1639-1712). Volume Two: 1678-1694 /
:
Martin Lister (1639-1712), who served as physician to Queen Anne, was a prominent Fellow of the Royal Society (F.R.S.), and he was made an honorary M.D. by Oxford in 1684.The first scientific arachnologist and conchologist, and a major benefactor of the Ashmolean Museum, he corresponded regularly on natural history and medicine with its first and second keepers, Robert Plot (1640-1696) and Edward Lhwyd (1660-1709). Lister's unpublished papers were among the largest of his donations to Oxford's fledgling museum of science. In the mid-nineteenth century, these collections passed from the Ashmolean to the Bodleian Library. They contain the bulk of his correspondence, though sizeable quantities of his outgoing letters are held elsewhere, chiefly in the Royal Society, the Natural History Museum and the British Library's collection of Sloane Manuscripts. This volume is a critical edition of this correspondence from 1678 to 1694, encompassing the years he established a medical practice in London and completed his major works on conchology.

Lady E.S. Drower's scholarly correspondence : an intrepid English autodidact in Iraq /
:
An edition of the scholarly letters of the English Lady E. S. Drower, famous for her novels, travel accounts, and studies in the Middle East, especially on the Mandaeans. Drower (1879‐1972) kept up a lively correspondence with scholars, and the letters here span the years 1938 to the mid 1960s. It presents a window on Near Eastern studies in the mid 20th century, from the viewpoint of an autodidact insisting on, and succeeding in, a place among the academics.. Correspondence with many famous scholars and intellectuals are included, such as Cyrus H. Gordon, Rudolf Macuch, Sidney H. Smith, Godfrey R. Driver, Samuel H. Hooke, and Franz Rosenthal. The letters focus on four of Lady Drower's main books: The Book of the Zodiac (1949), Water into Wine (1956), A Mandaic Dictionary (with Rudolf Macuch, 1963), and Drowers hoped for, crowning achievement: the presumably lost, large manuscript, Mass and Masiqta .

Toward a New Aesthetics : Institutional Criticism in Art Education from 1900 to Today /
:
Has art education lost its critical edge? Is art becoming just another form of intellectual labor? Toward a New Aesthetics argues that the increasing "scientification" of art is directly linked to a decline in institutional self-critique. This study offers the first comprehensive examination of institutional critique within art schools. Through contributions from leading art historians, critics, educators, and artists, readers will trace a century of critical engagement, from radical challenge and transformative beginnings to today's institutional affirmation. Exploring international case studies, the book reveals how the rise of artistic research has profoundly impacted art's critical potential within the global knowledge economy. Contributors are: Bernard Akoi-Jackson, Katherine Bruhn, Benjamin Buchloh, Emily Ruth Capper, Nicola Foster, Tom Holert, Erika Kindsfather, Sooyoung Leam, Sandra Neugärtner, Isabel Nogueira, Noa Sadka, Jeffrey Saletnik, Christine-Marie Schoel, Rebecca Sprowl and Jack Watts.

The actuality of sacrifice : past and present /
:
Sacrifice is a well known form of ritual in many world religions. Although the actual practice of animal sacrifice was largely abolished in the later history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, it is still recalled through biblical stories, the ritual calendar and community events. The essays in this volume discuss the various positions regarding the value of sacrifice in a wide variety of disciplines such as history, archaeology, literature, philosophy, art and gender and post-colonial studies. In this context they examine a wide array of questions pertaining to the 'actuality of sacrifice' in various social, historical and intellectual contexts ranging from the pre-historical to the post-Holocaust, and present new understandings of some of the most sensitive topics of our time.
