Weaving near-future sci-fi elements with social commentary and queer romantic suspense, the series explores the nature of consciousness and how it's connected to a not-so-secret ingredient-story. As AI consumes the world, intelligence is nothing but the appetizer; the human heart is the main course.Unanimity, Book 1 Awards: 1st Place - Reader Views Literary Awards - Gold Award - Science FictionAward Winner - Readers' Favorite - Science FictionShortlisted - CYGNUS CIBAs - Science FictionThe road to hell is paved with good intentions.Shadow is a reluctant god with a broken mind and a death wish.

The benevolent manipulation platform turned the two unelected leaders into beloved gods, but now everything is failing. The worlds suffer as a sentimental Tom descends into his own personal hell, becoming the embodiment of everything he despises and a shadow of his former self.His journey from an optimistic, joyful Tom to a gloomy Shadow is paved with heartache and sinister interference from emerging technology.

It's all a matter of perspective, and Shadow has none left.The SeriesAn epic tale spanning across six days-one per book-and forty past decades of life lived across ten worlds and two universes.

Demetrios of Scepsis and His Troikos Diakosmos

Demetrios of Scepsis and His Troikos Diakosmos

Alexandra Trachsel

Harvard University Press
2021
nidottu
Ancient scholarship had many faces, but most have faded away over time. Demetrios of Scepsis is one of the more shadowy of these lost figures, best known for his commentary on the Trojan Catalogue in Book 2 of the Iliad. Alexandra Trachsel’s work represents the first treatment dedicated to Demetrios of Scepsis in over a century. Because of the incomplete transmission of Demetrios’s work, Trachsel necessarily focuses on the way later readers understood the ancient author’s engagement with the Homeric text. Indeed, modern scholars have access to Demetrios’s analysis of the Trojan Catalogue only through their readings.Trachsel’s work offers a thorough analysis of the ancient and modern reactions to Demetrios’s research into the Homeric text and the Trojan landscape, and it revisits the ongoing debate about the setting for Homer’s Trojan poem. Trachsel also provides new evidence about the impressively wide range of other topics Demetrios’s work may have contained.

Pathways to Reform

Pathways to Reform

Alexandra W. Logue

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2017
sidottu
A personal account of the implementation of a controversial credit transfer program at the nation's third-largest university Change is notoriously difficult in any large organization. Institutions of higher education are no exception. From 2010 to 2013, Alexandra Logue, then chief academic officer of The City University of New York, led a controversial reform initiative known as Pathways. The program aimed to facilitate the transfer of credits among the university's nineteen constituent colleges in order to improve graduation rates--a long-recognized problem for public universities such as CUNY. Hotly debated, Pathways met with vociferous resistance from many faculty members, drew the attention of local and national media, and resulted in lengthy legal action. In Pathways to Reform, Logue, the figure at the center of the maelstrom, blends vivid personal narrative with an objective perspective to tell how this hard-fought plan was successfully implemented at the third-largest university in the United States. Logue vividly illustrates why change does or does not take place in higher education, and the professional and personal tolls exacted. Looking through the lens of the Pathways program and factoring in key players, she analyzes how governance structures and conflicting interests, along with other institutional factors, impede change--which, Logue shows, is all too rare, slow, and costly. In this environment, she argues, it is shared governance, combined with a strong, central decision-making authority, that best facilitates necessary reform. Logue presents a compelling investigation of not only transfer policy but also power dynamics and university leadership. Shedding light on the inner workings of one of the most important public institutions in the nation, Pathways to Reform provides the first full account of how, despite opposition, a complex higher education initiative was realized. All net royalties received by the author from sales of this book will be donated to The City University of New York to support undergraduate student financial aid.

The Artist's Palette

The Artist's Palette

Alexandra Loske

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2024
sidottu
A beautifully illustrated look at the paints and palettes used by many of the world's greatest artists from the sixteenth century to today What can the palette an artist used or depicted tell us about their artistic process, preferences, and finished works? From traditional wooden boards to paint pots, ceramic plates, and studio walls, these deceptively simple yet potent tools provide vital evidence. The Artist's Palette presents fifty unique palettes alongside paintings by the celebrated artists who used them, gathering expert analysis of color, brushstroke, and technique to offer new histories of these artists and their work. Alexandra Loske pairs each artist's color palette with one or more of their paintings, revealing how the artist used paints and pigments. While Georges Seurat meticulously arranged the paints on his palette in prismatic order, a pointillist technique reflected on his canvases, Kerry James Marshall uses blots of zinc white and smears of pale pink on the surfaces of symbolically oversized white palettes held by the Black artists in his portraits, raising provocative questions about the role of color in Black history and Western art. Through these and other compelling accounts, Loske shows how, behind every great painting, there is a palette that tells its story. Featuring a wealth of original photographs of palettes, paints, and pigments of all kinds, The Artist's Palette takes readers into the studios of artists from Artemisia Gentileschi, Rembrandt, Paul C zanne, Vincent van Gogh and John Singer Sargent to Egon Schiele, Georgia O'Keeffe, Helen Frankenthaler, Lucian Freud, and Keith Haring, revealing how the materials and tools they used hide secrets and are often reflections of the life and times of the artist who once held, prepared, and used them.

From Palma to Princeton

From Palma to Princeton

Alexandra Letvin; Elena Torok

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2025
pokkari
A beautifully illustrated look at the complex past of Princeton’s Mallorcan stairway and patioFrom Palma to Princeton weaves together a rich history that crisscrosses the Atlantic, offering a picture of trends and tastes in twentieth-century art collecting in Europe and the United States and debates regarding cultural property. How and why did stone architectural elements from Mallorca, Spain, make the journey from the Balearic Islands to New Jersey? Art historian Alexandra Letvin traces the fascinating story of how a fifteenth- to sixteenth-century stairway, together with balustrades and columns from a sixteenth-century residential patio, were dismantled in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Mallorca and reconfigured by American and Spanish art dealers living in Spain. The resulting assemblage made its way first into the collection of William Randolph Hearst, then to the home of the Baron and Baroness Cassel van Doorn in Englewood, New Jersey, and finally, in 1955, to Princeton University.Conservator Elena Torok details how cross-disciplinary research leading to the grouping’s 2025 reinstallation in the Princeton University Art Museum’s new building yielded discoveries about the stones’ past, including the fact that by the time it left the island of Mallorca in 1929, elements had been modified and recombined in ways that left them permanently altered. As the stairway, balustrades, and columns changed hands during the twentieth century and their connections to their source locations became blurred, they became challenging to recognize; for many years these pieces had been considered lost, despite having been installed in the galleries of the Princeton University Art Museum in 1965 and viewed by generations of visitors.
