Review The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History: 4 Volume Set / Oxford University Press, USA:The Encyclopedia of Women in World History captures the experiences of women throughout world history in a comprehensive, 4-volume work. Although there has been extensive research on women in history by region, no text or reference work has comprehensively covered the role women have played throughout world history. The past thirty years have seen an explosion of research and effort to present the experiences and contributions of women not only in the Western world but across the globe. Historians have investigated womens daily lives in virtually every region and have researched the leadership roles women have filled across time and region. They have found and demonstrated that there is virtually no historical, social, or demographic change in which women have not been involved and by which their lives have not been affected. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History benefits greatly from these efforts and experiences, and illuminates how women worldwide have influenced and been influenced by these historical, social, and demographic changes. The Encyclopedia contains over 1,250 signed articles arranged in an A-Z format for ease of use. The entries cover six main areas: biographies; geography and history; comparative culture and society, including adoption, abortion, performing arts; organizations and movements, such as the Egyptian Uprising, and the Paris Commune; womens and gender studies; and topics in world history that include slave trade, globalization, and disease. With its rich and insightful entries by leading scholars and experts, this reference work is sure to be a valued, go-to resource for scholars, college and high school students, and general readers alike.

Review Bob McPhail (Rangers Legends) / Mainstream Publishing:Bob McPhail played in the great Rangers side of the pre-war years. He was one of the most dynamic forwards produced by Scotland. In 354 league games for Rangers he scored 236 goals - a club record which stood for over 50 years. Winner of seven Scottish Cup medals, nine Championship medals and 17 Scotland caps over 11 seasons, McPhail was a giant in the boom years before the outbreak of the World War II. He watched the changing face of the game from his reserved seat at Ibrox, with mixed feelings, until his health began to fade. Bob died in August 2000. Bob reveals the true facts of the John Thomson tragedy, when the young Celtic keeper was fatally injured in an old firm match. He explains why he never played against England at Wembley. He illustrates the myth of his manager, Bill Struth, and explains the leadership qualities of his skipper Davie Meiklejohn. Bob McPhail's story is a vital part of the game's history at a time when names like Alex James, Patsy Gallacher, as well as "Greetin' Boab" himself dominated the roaring '20s and '30s.

Review James Turrell: The Art of Light and Space / University of California Press:The Art of Light and Space is the first major overview of one of the most independent and accomplished artists of our time. For the benefit of art historians, artists, and the general reader, Craig Adcock examines, with the support of many illustrations, the full range of James Turrell's life and art. He gives special attention to the artist's fashioning of light and space to create works of great contemplative beauty, intellectual depth, and technical sophistication. Adcock explains how Turrell's work has developed to address the very nature of visual perception-its wonders and its limitations. Presented in the context of developments in contemporary art since the 1960s, Turrell's non-object pieces, his light projections and large-scale installations, and his monumental work-in-progress-the Roden Crater project-take on a significance and integrity that have not previously been fully revealed. Turrell's work has been collected and exhibited widely, and he has received a number of important grants including the prestigious MacArthur Foundation Prize.

Review Schonberg and Kandinsky: An Historic Encounter (Contemporary Music Studies) / Routledge:The historic encounter around 1911 between the composer Arnold Schönberg and the painter Wassily Kandinsky occurred at a moment when the first wild revolts against traditional art, Dada and Futurism, had just manifested themselves. Independently of those sometimes spectacular activities, both Schönberg and Kandinsky had already concluded that the material and the compositional methods they had relied on in the past were exhausted and did not satisfy the development of their artistic ideas. Both artists had already submitted their modes of production to a critical analysis which resulted in Schonberg's Theory of Harmony and Kandinsky's Concerning the Spiritual in Art, both of 1911 - indeed the two artists had already been putting their self-criticism into practice for some time. In Schönberg's case this led to breaking with tonality; Kandinsky effected the transition to abstract painting. This book is a collection of the papers presented at theconference on Schönberg and Kandin.
