Art History: A Very Short Introduction

Buy

This clear and concise new introduction examines all the major debates and issues in the field of art history, using a wide range of well-known examples. Dana Arnold also examines the many different ways of writing about art, and the changing boundaries of the subject of art history.

Other topics covered include the canon of art history, the role of the gallery, "blockbuster" exhibitions, the emergence of social histories of art (such as feminist art history or queer art history), and the impact of photography. The development of art history using artifacts such as the altarpiece, the portrait, or pornography to explore social and cultural issues such as consumption, taste, religion, and politics is discussed. And the book also explains how the traditional emphasis on periods and styles originated in western art production and can obscure other approaches.

An Introduction to Modern Mathematical Computing: With Maple(TM)
An Introduction to Modern Mathematical Computing: With Maple(TM)

Thirty years ago mathematical, as opposed to applied numerical, computation was difficult to perform and so relatively little used. Three threads changed that: the emergence of the personal computer; the discovery of fiber-optics and the consequent development of the modern internet; and the building of the Three “M’s”...

Agent Intelligence Through Data Mining (Multiagent Systems, Artificial Societies, and Simulated Organizations)

Knowledge, hidden in voluminous data repositories routinely created and maintained by today’s applications, can be extracted by data mining. The next step is to transform this discovered knowledge into the inference mechanisms or simply the behavior of agents and multi-agent systems. Agent Intelligence Through Data Mining addresses this...

Energy Harvesting with Functional Materials and Microsystems (Devices, Circuits, and Systems)

For decades, people have searched for ways to harvest energy from natural sources. Lately, a desire to address the issue of global warming and climate change has popularized solar or photovoltaic technology, while piezoelectric technology is being developed to power handheld devices without batteries, and thermoelectric technology is being...


Scalable Optimization via Probabilistic Modeling: From Algorithms to Applications (Studies in Computational Intelligence)
Scalable Optimization via Probabilistic Modeling: From Algorithms to Applications (Studies in Computational Intelligence)
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) address broad classes of optimization problems by learning explicit probabilistic models of promising solutions found so far and sampling the built models to generate new candidate solutions. By incorporating advanced machine learning techniques into genetic and evolutionary algorithms, EDAs can scalably...
