Palgrave Macmillan 2005; US$ 105.00This book examines the impact of states and their policies on visual art.

Revitalizing Arts Education Through Community-Wide Coordination
RAND Corporation 2008; US$ 9.95For more than 30 years, arts education has been a low priority in the nation?s public schools.

Re-Enchantment
Taylor and Francis 2011; US$ 37.95The near-absence of religion from contemporary discourse on art is one of the most fundamental issues in postmodernism.

The sublime, "re-enchantment" (as in Weber), and the aura (as in... more...

New science places much emphasis on the role... more...
