Love and Strife, 1965-2005

The Life of Saul Bellow

'This book makes an original and valuable intervention in the field of feminist and new art histories by offering a thoroughly informed and sophisticated interpretation of Nancy Spero's oeuvre, which is located in carefully mapped out historical, socio-political and theoretical contexts. Through the concept of the "encounter", Joanna Walker stages insightful juxtapositions between Spero's art, poetics and politics and those of creative practitioners from and beyond the visual arts, while also reversing genealogies and proposing an innovative model of comparatism from within the field of visual studies.' Alexandra Kokoli, The Robert Gordon University, UK, editor of Feminism Reframed: Reflections on Art and Difference and Susan Hiller: The Provisional Texture of Reality; Selected Texts and Interviews, 1977-2007 
'This thought-provoking book makes an outstanding contribution to the literature on the work of Nancy Spero. Walker's stimulating and sophisticated analysis of "creative encounters" with different forms of contemporary practice is informed by theoretical insights, and offers some new models for understanding the thorny concepts of influence, agency and performance in Spero's work, and in women's practice more broadly.' Gill Perry, The Open University, UK 
'...this book is a detailed account of Spero's art and working methods which rewards close reading... there is a wealth of information both on Spero and the wide range of creative thinkers and practitioners that Walker finds influencing her art, with the book's thematic encounters providing the framework to present what is an impressive range of research.' The Burlington Magazine

'This lavishly illustrated book is written in accessible language and should be of interest to academics and undergraduate students of art and psychology. It is an area of disciplinary overlap that continues to throw up interesting historical cases that often act to illuminate our understanding.' Cassone 
'This study considers Stuart in a humane and compassionate way and accords him dignity and agency without downplaying the desperate problems he faced. Professor Evans demonstrates that science can indeed contribute significantly to our understanding of art, if it is used judiciously and in conjunction with traditional art-historical appreciation.'

Recueil Des Oeuvres: Augmenté de l'Imitation En Vers Du Poeme Tome 2

Recommended by CHOICE (January 2018 Vol. 55 No. 5) for upper-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals.
The beauty of a displaying territorial male red-winged blackbird pales when magnified a million fold. Blackbirds, cowbirds, grackles, and starlings are among the most conspicuous and abundant North American birds and gather in huge flocks in the non-breeding season. These birds can inflict costly damage on crops, and their huge roosts can be a nuisance. Mainly through the United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, researchers have studied the biology of these birds and invested in a variety of "control methods." Red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds, cowbirds, and grackles each merit a chapter reviewing their ecology. General chapters address economic impacts, habitat and climate change, and management, including repellents, frightening devices, and lethal methods. A chapter on preventive strategies for avoiding damage is unique, and the chapter entitled "The Future of Blackbird Management Research" is promising. Each chapter has its own extensive bibliography. Additionally, each chapter is a valuable contribution to the comprehension of blackbird’s "functional roles." This work will also benefit those who handle the management of blackbird flocks and roosts. Inexplicably, there is hardly a mention of the European starling, which also forms huge, hungry flocks and roosts in urban areas.

'Ranging from viceregal Mexico to Akbar's India, the authors of this timely and diverse collection practice what theorists of early modern globalization have only lately preached: that the world was understood to be connected and mutually intelligible in the age of sail and gunpowder. There was plenty of wonder, mutual discovery, and violent misunderstanding, but the hard nationalist and regionalist divisions came later, and for too long they clouded scholars' vision of the early modern past. In addition to their efforts to reveal early modern worlds in their own terms, the authors offer new insights to scholars beyond art history both by rigorous comparisons and through re-examination of venerable theoretical models and disciplinary boundaries. It is sure to provoke considerable discussion, and likely some controversy.' Kris Lane, Tulane University, USA 
'The latest entry from Ashgate in one of the most innovative and stimulating new art history publication series, 'Transculturalisms 1400-1700,' this collection of essays takes up the complex issue of what some scholars are calling 'visuality,' a conception of vision itself in a given culture... a fascinating collection...' Cassone 
'The most important question these essays raise ... especially from the perspective of early modern scholars not in the field of art history, is the problem of commensurability. Commensurability has become a central theme of early modern studies as the field has moved away from its European roots and become increasingly global. The study of encounters in the early modern world inevitably raises the question of how culture translates across racial, ethnic, and geographic divides, and this issue becomes more urgent as scholars abandon their Eurocentric focus and binary categories of European versus other.' Sixteenth Century Journal '... thought-provoking ...' Journal of Historical Geography

Seeing Across Cultures in the Early Modern World

"This fascinating book marks an important step forward in our understanding of the diffusion of Western economics in East Asia since the seventeenth century up until modern times. This is not simply a story about the adoption of Western economic doctrines, but about their adaptation to different cultural habitats and political and economic needs and their confluence with domestic economic and philosophical thought. The attention focuses on China, Japan, Korea and Malaysia and the doctrines of Adam Smith, Friedrich List, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich August von Hayek and Joseph Schumpeter. Under the guidance of Malcolm Warner a set of leading international experts succeeded in elaborating a remarkably thorough and highly instructive work. Against the background of the stunning economic growth in recent decades of some of the countries covered, the book touches also upon the intriguing question of whether there is a relationship between economic views held by politicians and economic advisers, on the one hand, and the economic performance of nations, on the other. This book is a must for economists, historians of economic thought, economic historians, political scientists and sociologists interested in the transmigration of economic ideas and concepts." 
- Heinz D. Kurz, Emeritus Professor of Economics, University of Graz and Graz Schumpeter Centre, Graz, Austria.
"This edited book by Professor Malcolm Warner, a long-time observer of the Asian scene, is a must read for all who seek to understand what, why and how economic principles and concepts that originated in the West have influenced development and growth in select Asian countries, including China and Japan. The chapters shed important insights on why certain principles have been more readily embraced by the Asian countries under consideration and how they are translated into action in these economies." 
- Rosalie L. Tung, Mingand Stella Wong Professor of International Business, Simon Fraser University, Canada.
"The story of how economic analysis as developed and practiced in Europe and North America has spread to the rest of the world has not been systematically told. That spread was sometimes gradual with fits and starts and sometimes extremely rapid, but today “Western economics” dominates the curriculum of universities all over the world but particularly in Asia. Economic policy there is largely analyzed and practiced using these tools, not always wisely to be sure. The Diffusion of Western Economics in East Asia is a major step forward in explaining how this diffusion of economic ideas occurred. It is a fascinating piece of intellectual history that has had a profound impact on how East Asian societies operate today." 
-Dwight H. Perkins, Harold Hitchings Burbank Professor of Political Economy, Emeritus in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., USA.
"East Asia comprising China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan etc. has been dubbed the world’s most dynamic economic region, having sustained high growth for over 50 years. Yet surprisingly, the region has no equivalents to such great Western economists as Adam Smith, Karl Marx or John Maynard Keynes, whose ideas and concepts had profoundly influenced many Asian scholars and leaders. Mao Zedong had once said when he died he would be happily going to meet Karl Marx. China’s most distinguished premier, Zhu Rongji, had also likened his “Macroeconomic control” policy to Keynesian demand management.
Clearly, there is no such thing as Eastern Economics vs Western Economics. It is all about how major Western economic thought and theory had been transmitted to the East and how they were embraced in the academic and political circles.
This book edited by Malcolm Warner promises fascinating reading to those who want to follow how many great Western economic ideas have been diffused in East Asian societies under different historical and institutional settings—even more importantly, how they have impacted the modernization and transformation of these societies." 
- John Wong, Professorial Fellow and Academic Advisor (formerly Director, Research Director) of the East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Overall, this book is highly recommended for students of East Asia with research interests relating to history and contemporary studies of policy, and also for historians of ideas. Given the rediscovery of the role of ideas in politics, understanding the intellectual dynamics of economics has become increasingly important for researchers attempting to analyse political change and policy-making, past and present. So, theorists of political science might also enjoy reading the book as a source of empirical data relevant towards testing their general hypotheses.
