The Political Museum

Power, Conflict, and Identity in Cyprus

By: Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert,Alexandra Bounia

This engaging volume reveals how politics permeates all facets of museum practice, particularly in regions of political conflict. In these settings, museums can be extraordinarily influential for shaping identity and collective memory and for peace building. Using key Cypriote archaeological, historical, ethnographic, and art museums as examples, this book: provides a multifaceted and deeper understanding of how politics, conflict, national agendas, and individual initiatives can shape museums and their narratives; discusses how these forces contribute to the creation of, and conflict over, national, community and personal identities; examines how museums use inclusion and exclusion in their collections, exhibitions, objects and interpretive material as a way of selectively constructing collective memories. This book will be an important resource for museum professionals, as well as scholars interested in the effects of politics on museums and interpretations of the past.

By: Dr. Alexandra Tolstoy,Yu-Chiung Teng,Erchang Shang

The ICTCA conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for active researchers in academia and industry who are of varying backgrounds to discuss the state-of-the-art developments and results in theoretical and computational acoustics and related topics. The papers presented at the meeting cover acoustical problems of common interest across disciplines and their accurate mathematical and numerical modeling.This volume collects papers that were presented at the sixth meeting. The subjects include geophysics, scattering and diffraction, the parabolic equation (with special sessions in honor of Dr Fred Tappert), seismic exploration, boundary element methods, visualization, oil industry applications, shallow water acoustics, matched field tracking, bubbles, waves in complex media, seabed interactions, ocean acoustic inversion, and mathematical issues in underwater acoustics.

Post-War Eugenics, Reproductive Choices and Population Policies in Greece, 1950s–1980s

Post-War Eugenics, Reproductive Choices and Population Policies in Greece, 1950s–1980s

By: Alexandra Barmpouti

This book sheds light on the history of Greek eugenics during the post-war period. At this time, eugenics had already been condemned by international declarations. Alexandra Barmpouti, however, challenges the assumption that eugenics disappeared and confirms the continuity of eugenics after the Second World War. She looks at the Greek paradigm because it included the establishment of a eugenics society in 1953 and revealed the contact of Greek eugenicists with renowned British and American birth control advocates. The book covers for the first time the untold history of contraception in Greece during the 1950s and 1960s when the use of female contraceptives was forbidden. It thus argues that birth control was ideologically based on eugenics. In the same context, the book discusses significant breakthroughs related to eugenics, such as the rise of the feminist movement and the advance of human genetics that took place during this period.

The Bizarre and Incredible World of Plants

By: Wolfgang Stuppy,Rob Kesseler,Madeline M. Harley,Alexandra Papadakis

Pollen, seeds and fruit as you have never seen them before. Following the publication of three groundbreaking books, each created by a scientist and an artist using SEM images coloured to reveal the extraordinary beauty and structure of the world of nature, we present here a selection of the most striking and informative images. These extraordinary images are accompanied by a simple text explaining in clear, straightforward language the structure and form of pollen, seeds and fruit, their role in preserving the biodiversity of our planet, and the means by which they ensure their survival and thus ours.
