This product of the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies at Princeton focuses on junctures of animals and humans where the former become objects of the latter's popular conception, scientific study, and economic exchange. But the object of this study is less the animal than the human, a means to flesh out the picture of humanity's treatment of one of its most othered others. Among the 13 articles on animals behind the bars of zoos and laboratories, in the crosshairs, upon plates, and at home, is one by Harriet Ritvo (history, MIT) whose Animal Estate (Harvard, 1987) was an important contribution to humanistic animal studies. Here Ritvo explores how breeders' adoption of Linnaen nomenclature confused differences between notions of pure and impure, wild and domestic, and how... Less

A vivid and compelling history of human artistic achievements, from the first stone fashioned into a figure by a hunter-gatherer to the latest new media and installation work.With remarkable clarity, Julian Bell tells the story of how art has evolved through the millennia and across the world. He follows the changing trends in the making and significance of art in different cultures, and explains why the art of the day looked and functioned as it did. Key images and objects—some of them familiar works of art; others, less known but equally crucial to the story—act as landmarks on the journey, focal points around which the discussion always centers.

China is known for its deep veneration of history. Far more than a record of the past, history to the Chinese is the magister vitae (teacher of life): the storehouse of moral lessons and bureaucratic precedents. Mirroring the Past presents a comprehensive history of traditional Chinese historiography from antiquity to the mid-Qing period. Organized chronologically, the book traces the development of historical thinking and writing in Imperial China, beginning with the earliest forms of historical consciousness and ending with adumbrations of the fundamentally different views engendered by mid-nineteenth- encounters with the West. The historiography of each era is explored on two levels: first, the gathering of material and the writing and production of narratives to describe past events;... Less
