Distinguished literary scholar Geoffrey H. Hartman, himself forced to leave Germany at age nine, collects his essays, both scholarly and personal, that focus on the Holocaust. Hartman contends that although progress has been made, we are only beginning to understand the horrendous events of 1933 to 1945. The continuing struggle for meaning, consolation, closure, and the establishment of a collective memory against the natural tendency toward forgetfulness is a recurring theme. The many forms of response to the devastation - from historical research and survivors' testimony to the novels, films, and monuments that have appeared over the last fifty years - reflect and inform efforts to come to grips with the past, despite events (like those at Bitburg) that attempt to foreclose it. The stricture that poetry after Auschwitz is ""barbaric"" is countered by the increased sense of responsibility incumbent on the creators of these works.

Silverwhite is a captivating exploration of the eastern Baltic nations’ earliest history and interactions with peoples of the Mediterranean and the Near East. This journey meticulously outlines an answer to the true whereabouts of Thule, the unearthly northernmost land of ancient legend. Although Silverwhite is grounded in classical literature and extensive historical, astronomical and geographical fact, Lennart Meri—foremost a writer and filmmaker—weaves his travelogue with poeticism. Whereas a professional historian must show caution when using fantasy to patch gaps between facts, a poet is untethered. This epic work can also be read as a thriller: millennia ago, an enormous cosmic rock crashed into the Estonian island of Saaremaa. Through this extraordinary historical event, Meri brings together a curious cast including ancient Greeks, Arabs and Estonians. All genuinely existed and met, even if their names have been lost to oblivion. When Meri wrote Silverwhite, Estonia was occupied; forced into the restrictions of Soviet Russian colonialism. His work was a balm against that closed-minded and unnatural state, offering the unmistakable message that the world has never been divided into isolated islands of civilisation. Nations, eternally interconnected, have always shared knowledge and impacted one another in complex ways. Openness is inherent.

The later Johann Adam Schall von Bell (1591–1666) was so impressed with the preserved astronomical instruments of Guo that he called him "the Tycho Brahe of China."

In **Shades Decoded: Unraveling the Mysteries of Shadows**, we embark on a captivating journey into the realm of shadows, exploring their hidden depths and profound impact on our lives. From their scientific nature to their symbolic and cultural significance, shadows reveal a world that is both familiar and strange, both beautiful and unsettling. Delving into the science of shadows, we uncover the mysteries of light and darkness, unraveling the intricate interplay between these two fundamental forces. We explore how shadows can deceive our eyes, creating optical illusions that challenge our perception of reality. We also investigate the practical applications of shadows, from their use in architecture and design to their significance in fields like medicine and technology. Moving beyond the scientific realm, we delve into the rich symbolism and mythology surrounding shadows. From ancient cave paintings to modern works of art, shadows have been used to express emotions, tell stories, and evoke a sense of wonder and awe. We explore the role of shadows in literature and film, examining how they can transform a narrative and create a sense of atmosphere. We also investigate the cultural and religious beliefs associated with shadows, uncovering their hidden meanings and connections to the human psyche. But shadows are not just a source of mystery and intrigue; they can also be a source of beauty and inspiration. In the hands of skilled artists and designers, shadows can be transformed into stunning works of art, captivating audiences with their ethereal beauty and evocative power. From shadow puppetry to shadowgraphy, we explore the diverse ways in which shadows can be harnessed for creative expression. Throughout our journey, we come to appreciate the shadows as an integral part of our existence, a force that shapes our perception of reality and connects us to the deeper mysteries of the universe. **Shades Decoded** is an invitation to embrace the shadows, to explore their hidden depths, and to discover the profound beauty and wisdom they hold.

China’s most sophisticated system of computational astronomy was created for a Mongol emperor who could neither read nor write Chinese, to celebrate victory over China after forty years of devastating war. This book explains how and why, and reconstructs the observatory and the science that made it possible. For two thousand years, a fundamental ritual of government was the emperor’s “granting the seasons” to his people at the New Year by issuing an almanac containing an accurate lunisolar calendar. The high point of this tradition was the “Season-granting system” (Shou-shih li, 1280). Its treatise records detailed instructions for computing eclipses of the sun and moon and motions of the planets, based on a rich archive of observations, some ancient and some new. Sivin, the West’s leading scholar of the Chinese sciences, not only recreates the project’s cultural, political, bureaucratic, and personal dimensions, but translates the extensive treatise and explains every procedure in minimally technical language. The book contains many tables, illustrations, and aids to reference. It is clearly written for anyone who wants to understand the fundamental role of science in Chinese history. There is no comparable study of state science in any other early civilization.

Transmitted Wounds explores the ways media shape the social life of trauma both clinically and culturally. Through a series of case studies--from the radiocasts of the Eichmann trial to virtual reality therapy for PTSD--Pinchevski offers a bold thesis about the deep association of media and trauma: media bear witness to the human failure to bear witness, making the traumatic technologically transmissible and reproducible.
