Book Synopsis UMass Dartmouth, 1960-2006 by : Frederick Vincent Gifun
Download or read book UMass Dartmouth, 1960-2006 written by Frederick Vincent Gifun and published by . This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first decades following World War II this nation and its system of higher education underwent dramatic, unprecedented change and growth. New colleges and universities sprouted across the landscape, especially during the prosperous and conflicted 1960s. Most of this growth was in public higher education as states rushed to meet the need for greater capacity and to satisfy the emerging ideal of universal access to higher education. UMass Dartmouth was formed in the context of these national trends, but with a significant difference: this University was among the few created through a merger of existing institutions. Public higher education in Massachusetts has often faced an uphill battle for support and recognition. Operating in the shadow of a small handful of genuinely elite private institutions, public higher education in the State has long been a low-priority, erratically-funded activity. As such, this book, while primarily an institutional history of UMass Dartmouth, deals also with the key elements in a public dialogue that continues to shape this, and other institutions operating in the public sphere in Massachusetts. One of its underlying assumptions is that the status and health of public institutions--in this case, public higher education--reflect the state of the social contract by which individuals relate to the "common wealth."

Book Synopsis The Architecture of Paul Rudolph by : Timothy M. Rohan
Download or read book The Architecture of Paul Rudolph written by Timothy M. Rohan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equally admired and maligned for his remarkable Brutalist buildings, Paul Rudolph (1918–1997) shaped both late modernist architecture and a generation of architects while chairing Yale’s department of architecture from 1958 to 1965. Based on extensive archival research and unpublished materials, The ArchitectureofPaul Rudolph is the first in-depth study of the architect, neglected since his postwar zenith. Author Timothy M. Rohan unearths the ideas that informed Rudolph’s architecture, from his Florida beach houses of the 1940s to his concrete buildings of the 1960s to his lesser-known East Asian skyscrapers of the 1990s. Situating Rudolph within the architectural discourse of his day, Rohan shows how Rudolph countered the perceived monotony of mid-century modernism with a dramatically expressive architecture for postwar America, exemplified by his Yale Art and Architecture Building of 1963, famously clad in corrugated concrete. The fascinating story of Rudolph’s spectacular rise and fall considerably deepens longstanding conceptions about postwar architecture: Rudolph emerges as a pivotal figure who anticipated new directions for architecture, ranging from postmodernism to sustainability.

Book Synopsis Critical Landscapes by : Emily Eliza Scott
Download or read book Critical Landscapes written by Emily Eliza Scott and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Francis Alÿs and Ursula Biemann to Vivan Sundaram, Allora & Calzadilla, and the Center for Urban Pedagogy, some of the most compelling artists today are engaging with the politics of land use, including the growth of the global economy, climate change, sustainability, Occupy movements, and the privatization of public space. Their work pivots around a set of evolving questions: In what ways is land, formed over the course of geological time, also contemporary and formed by the conditions of the present? How might art contribute to the expansion of spatial and environmental justice? Editors Emily Eliza Scott and Kirsten Swenson bring together a range of international voices and artworks to illuminate this critical mass of practices. One of the first comprehensive treatments of land use in contemporary art, Critical Landscapes skillfully surveys the stakes and concerns of recent land-based practices, outlining the art historical contexts, methodological strategies, and geopolitical phenomena. This cross-disciplinary collection is destined to be an essential reference not only within the fields of art and art history, but also across those of cultural geography, architecture and urban planning, environmental history, and landscape studies.

Book Synopsis Irrational Judgments by : Kirsten Swenson
Download or read book Irrational Judgments written by Kirsten Swenson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrational Judgments examines the close friendship and significant exchange of ideas between Eva Hesse (1936–1970) and Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) in New York City during the 1960s. Taking its title from LeWitt’s statement “Irrational judgments lead to new experience,” this book examines the breakthroughs of the artists’ intertwined careers, offering a new understanding of minimal, post-minimal, and conceptual art amid the era’s political and social upheavals. Kirsten Swenson offers the first in-depth discussion of the early critical developments of each artist: LeWitt’s turn from commercial design to fine art, and Hesse’s move from expressionist painting to reliefs and sculpture. Bringing together a wealth of documents, interviews, and images—many published here for the first time—this handsome publication presents an insightful account of the artists’ influence on and support for each other’s pursuit of an experimental practice. Swenson’s analysis expands our understanding of the artists’ ideas, the importance of their work, and, more broadly, the relationship of the 1960s New York art world to gender politics, the Vietnam War, and the city itself.

Download or read book America's Changing Neighborhoods [3 volumes] written by Reed Ueda and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique panoramic survey of ethnic groups throughout the United States that explores the diverse communities in every region, state, and big city. Race, ethnicity, and immigrants' lives and identity: these are all key topics that Americans need to study in order to fully understand U.S. culture, society, politics, economics, and history. Learning about "place" through our own historical and contemporary neighborhoods is an ideal way to better grasp the important role of race and ethnicity in the United States. This reference work comprehensively covers both historical and contemporary ethnic and immigrant neighborhoods through A–Z entries that explore the places and people in every major U.S. region and neighborhood. America's Changing Neighborhoods: An Exploration of Diversity uniquely combines the history of ethnic groups with the history of communities, offering an interdisciplinary examination of the nation's makeup. It gives readers perspective and insight into ethnicity and race based on the geography of enclaves across the nation, in regions and in specific cities or localized areas within a city. Among the entries are nearly 200 "neighborhood biographies" that provide histories of local communities and their ethnic groups. Images, sidebars, cross-references at the end of each entry, and cross-indexing of entries serve readers conducting preliminary as well as in-depth research. The book's state-by-state entries also offer population data, and an appendix of ancestry statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau details ethnic and racial diversity.

Book Synopsis Not Quite Adults by : Richard Settersten
Download or read book Not Quite Adults written by Richard Settersten and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2010-12-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are 20-somethings delaying adulthood? The media have flooded us with negative headlines about this generation, from their sense of entitlement to their immaturity. Drawing on almost a decade of cutting-edge research and nearly five hundred interviews with young people, Richard Settersten, Ph.D., and Barbara E. Ray shatter these stereotypes, revealing an unexpected truth: A slower path to adulthood is good for all of us. Their surprising findings include • Young adults who finish college and delay marriage and child-rearing get a much better start in life. • Few 20-somethings who live at home are mooching off their parents. More often, they are using the time at home to gain necessary credentials and save money for a more secure future. • Helicopter parents aren’t so bad after all. Involved parents provide young people with advantages, including mentoring and economic support, that have become increasingly necessary to success. Not Quite Adults is a fascinating look at an often misunderstood generation. It’s a must-read for parents, teachers, psychologists, sociologists, and anyone interested in today’s youth culture.
