The history of the former Kingdom of Benin is a fascinating subject which aroused the interest of many scholars during more than one hundred years. However, today, when Africa unfortunately attracts much less public and professional interest than in the times of de-colonisation and subsequent cold war struggle for the continent between the socialist and capitalist blocs, only a few specialists outside Nigeria are undertaking Benin researches and, therefore, the authors felt the need to make a new attempt for writing a history of this remarkable kingdom, including newest results of researches. Besides the general public, the book is destined for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as lecturers on African studies. To make easier reading for the general public, the book contains some elements of what may be called popular history .

There are four publications in issue 13, III-2025 of "Journal of Ethnic Microhistory". 1. The article ''Leo Tolstoy in the German Mass Consciousness in the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries'', written by Walther Friesen, examines the impact of Leo Tolstoy's philosophical ideas on the formation of mass consciousness, as well as the convictions of German politicians at that time. To this end, the author analyses relevant articles from provincial German newspapers. The article is written in German and preceded by an English abstract. 2. The ''Diary of Wilhelm Mette: Third Chronicle of the Air Raids on the L nen-South Area Between 23 May 1943 and 15 May 1945, Written Down and Collected for the Children and Grandchildren of Wilhelm Mette'' offers a genuine picture of the day-to-day existence of the inhabitants of the German city of L nen as the Second World War was drawing to a close. The article is written in German and preceded by an English abstract. 3. The article ''The Germans' Struggle to Leave the USSR'', written by human rights activist Eduard Deibert, focuses on one episode in the history of the Russia-Germans' struggle to return to Germany. Johann Unger was one of the leaders of this peaceful movement. The article is written in German and preceded by an English abstract. 4. The short essay 'Saga of the Lorenz-Regnier-Wolf Family', written by Dmitri Wolf, recounts the story of the Germans who settled down in Central Asia during the Soviet era. The article is written in German and preceded by an extended English abstract.
How the extraordinary multisensory phenomenon of synesthesia has changed our traditional view of the brain.A person with synesthesia might feel the flavor of food on her fingertips, sense the letter "J" as shimmering magenta or the number "5" as emerald green, hear and taste her husband's voice as buttery golden brown. Synesthetes rarely talk about their peculiar sensory gift-believing either that everyone else senses the world exactly as they do, or that no one else does. Yet synesthesia occurs in one in twenty people, and is even more common among artists. One famous synesthete was novelist Vladimir Nabokov, who insisted as a toddler that the colors on his wooden alphabet blocks were "all wrong." His mother understood exactly what he meant because she, too, had synesthesia. Nabokov's son Dmitri, who recounts this tale in the afterword to this book, is also a synesthete-further illustrating how synesthesia runs in families. In Wednesday Is Indigo Blue, pioneering researcher Richard Cytowic and distinguished neuroscientist David Eagleman explain the neuroscience and genetics behind synesthesia's multisensory experiences. Because synesthesia contradicted existing theory, Cytowic spent twenty years persuading colleagues that it was a real-and important-brain phenomenon rather than a mere curiosity. Today scientists in fifteen countries are exploring synesthesia and how it is changing the traditional view of how the brain works. Cytowic and Eagleman argue that perception is already multisensory, though for most of us its multiple dimensions exist beyond the reach of consciousness. Reality, they point out, is more subjective than most people realize. No mere curiosity, synesthesia is a window on the mind and brain, highlighting the amazing differences in the way people see the world.
A TLS Book of the Year 2017In this, the first anthology of Russian contemporary art writing to be published outside Russia, many of the country’s most prominent contemporary artists, writers, philosophers, curators and historians come together to examine the region’s contemporary art, culture and and theory.With contributions from Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Boris Groys, Dmitri Prigov, Anton Vidokle, Keti Chukhrov, Oxana Timofeeva, Pavel Pepperstein, Arseny Zhilyaev and Masha Sumnina amongst many others, this definitive collection reveals a compelling portrait of a vibrant and complex culture: one built on a contradicting dialectic between the material and the ideal, and battling its own histories and ideologies.
On June 11, 2013 a federal bill prohibiting minors from being informed about non-traditional sexual relationships was approved after its third reading in the Russian State Duma. Meanwhile, a group of people for whom the new law could have severe consequences arrived at a women´s camp on a remote island. This book comprises a photographic series by Annica Karlsson Rixon depicting the affinity between the women at the camp, but also a sense of underlying threat. Insider perspectives of the situation for queer women in Russia are provided through texts and interviews with activists and academics. Jack Halberstam introduces the text section of the book, and lawyer Dmitri Bartenev outlines the new legislation. Karlsson Rixon is a visual artist and researcher. At the Time of the Third Reading is part of her PhD thesis at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

In her first volume, Joan Titus explored the early years of Dmitry Shostakovich's career as the first Russian musician to emerge as a composer for the Soviet cinema. In this second volume, Dmitry Shostakovich and Music for Stalinist Cinema (1936-1953), Titus explores Shostakovich's continued development as a preeminent Soviet film composer and his navigation of the Soviet film industry amidst the cultural politics of late Stalinism. Based on archival materials and contemporaneous press, Titus combines musical analysis of eighteen scores with discussion of socio-cultural context and reception of his work. She frames the discussion using the concepts of the mainstream and middlebrow to highlight the complex role of Shostakovich's film music within Soviet arts culture. The composer's experience with diverse filmmakers, genres, and styles allowed him the opportunity to experiment with film scoring and musical meaning, which revealed his heterogenous and thorough knowledge of musical styles and his integration of classical and popular musical trends. This unusual and varied experience makes him an excellent case study for examining the development of the film composer within Soviet film industry during late Stalinism, and situates his scoring within an emerging global film music history.
