16-17 November 1973: having finally withdrawn from Vietnam and abandoned illegal carpet-bombings of ostensibly neutral Cambodia, the United States continues staring the Soviet Union down over the still-unsettled Yom Kippur War in the Middle East; Secretary of State Henry Kissinger - having apparently encouraged the overthrow and murder of Salvador Allende by the Chilean military - has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; Spiro Agnew has resigned the Vice Presidency in criminal disgrace; and Richard Nixon is battling to save his political career against charges he participated in a failed, third-rate burglary attempt at the Watergate complex. During a typical Friday morning and afternoon at the Mannheim Stockade, in west-central Germany, Army MP Sergeant Alf P. Bergson, a Vietnam veteran working as a Social Work/Psychology Specialist, deals with a schizophrenic prisoner in maximum security and the consequences of a rape in medium security, the evening before. After work, he visits a discotheque downtown, meeting both a middle-aged German veteran of the Russian Front and a charming young Gypsy, whose entire extended family was nearly exterminated during the Holocaust. The next morning, he walks through historic Rhine Valley landscapes to a ruined 12th-century castle in the mountains above Weinheim: reflecting on his own tour in Vietnam, his father's experiences in the Second World War, and current prospects for citizens of the United States - and the world. In the afternoon, he arrives in the nearby ancient university town of Heidelberg, looking for someone he met there some weeks earlier, during a Temporary Duty Assignment at the 130th Station Hospital. What he discovers about that young soldier's subsequent fate - and possible consequences of his own recent actions - leads to a major crisis of faith and yet more unsettling revelations.

Written at the height of the arts and crafts movement in fin-de-siecle Vienna, Alois Riegl's Stilfragen represented a turning point in defining art and understanding the sources of its inspiration. Demonstrating an uninterrupted continunity in the history of ornament from the ancient Egyptian through the Islamic period, Riegl argued that the creative urge manifests itself in both "great art" and the most humble artifact, and that change is an inherent part of style. This new translation, which renders Riegl's seminal work in contemporary, readable prose, allows for a fresh reexamination of his thought in light of current revisionist debate. His discovery of infinite variation in the restatement of several decorative motifs--the palmette, rosette, tendril--led Riegl to believe that art is completely independent from exterior conditions and is beyond individual volition. This thinking laid the groundwork for his famous concept of Kunstwollen, or artistic intention. "Something that the translation will, I hope, convey, is the passion invsted in Riegl's enterprise. We are made to feel that the issues he discussed mattered vitally to him; it was the very nature of art and its relation to human life that were at stake, art as an absolute necessity." --From the preface of Henri Zerner Alois Reigl (1858-1905) was Curator of Textiles at the Museum of Art and Industry in Vienna during most of his career and wrote many influential works on the history of art, including Spatromische Kunstgeschichte.

This overview of the famous and pioneering excavations of Heinrich Schliemann was first published in German in 1889, and in this extended English translation in 1891. The author, Carl Schuchhardt (1859-1943), had wide experience of excavations in both Asia Minor and Europe, and the translator, Eugénie Sellers (1860-1943), was the first female student of the British School at Athens. The book begins with a life of Schliemann, who had died in 1890, and goes on to describe his extraordinary discoveries at Troy and Mycenae, and his work at Tiryns, Ithaca and Orchomenos. It also contains two reports of later work at the mound of Hissarlik, the site of Troy, by Schliemann himself and his assistant Wilhelm Dörpfeld, which had not been included in the German edition. The book is illustrated with many line drawings, and includes the famous photograph of Sophia Schliemann wearing 'the gold of Troy'.
In this innovative study, James Whitley examines the relationship between the development of pot style and social changes in the Dark Age of Greece (1100-700 BC). He focuses on Athens where the Protogeometric and Geometric styles first appeared. He considers pot shape and painted decoration primarily in relation to the other relevant features - metal artefacts, grave architecture, funerary rites, and the age and sex of the deceased - and also takes into account different contexts in which these shapes and decorations appear. A computer analysis of grave assemblages supports his view that pot style is an integral part of the collective representations of Early Athenian society. It is a lens through which we can focus on the changing social circumstances of Dark Age Greece. Dr Whitley's approach to the study of style challenges many of the assumptions which have underpinned more traditional studies of Early Greek art.
From 1922 until his death in 1954, Wilhelm Furtwangler was the foremost cultural figure of the German-speaking world, conductor of both the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic orchestras. But his decision to remain in Germany when the Nazis came to power earned him condemnation as a Nazi collaborator--"The Devil's Music Master". 30 halftones.
