Public Humanities in Architecture : Reflections on Heritage, Culture, and History
Anyone concerned with the history, tradition, and culture of our built environment will sooner or later come across the term ‘Public Humanities’.At the interface between an academic discipline and the media-oriented culture industry, Public Humanities is established as a field of inquiry in the US and is increasingly becoming so in Europe too. Whether this field of research remains a product of Western culture will only become apparent in the coming years.However, linking architectural debate with the humanities is an important concern of the papers collected here. These essays on architectural theory provide academic food for thought while encouraging reflection on the discipline of architecture and stimulating urban design in the twenty-first century.The lectures collected here are from a class on Public Humanities at Brown University.

Grimoires : A History of Magic Books
What is a grimoire? The word has a familiar ring to many people, particularly as a consequence of such popular television dramas as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed.But few people are sure exactly what it means. Put simply, grimoires are books of spells that were first recorded in the Ancient Middle East and which have developed and spread across much of the Western Hemisphere and beyond over the ensuing millennia.At their most benign, they contain charms and remedies for natural and supernatural ailments and advice on contacting spirits to help find treasures and protect from evil.But at their most sinister they provide instructions on how to manipulate people for corrupt purposes and, worst of all, to call up and make a pact with the Devil.Both types have proven remarkably resilient and adaptable and retain much of their relevance and fascination to this day.But the grimoire represents much more than just magic.To understand the history of grimoires is to understand the spread of Christianity, the development of early science, the cultural influence of the print revolution, the growth of literacy, the impact of colonialism, and the expansion of western cultures across the oceans.As this book richly demonstrates, the history of grimoires illuminates many of the most important developments in European history over the last two thousand years.
