A comprehensive look at how slavery and resistance to it have shaped Yale University\n  \n Award-winning historian David W. Blight, with the Yale and Slavery Research Project, answers the call to investigate Yale University’s historical involvement with slavery, the slave trade, and abolition. This narrative history demonstrates the importance of slavery in the making of this renowned American institution of higher learning.\n  \n Drawing on wide-ranging archival materials, Yale and Slavery extends from the century before the college’s founding in 1701 to the dedication of its Civil War memorial in 1915, while engaging with the legacies and remembrance of this complex story. The book brings into focus the enslaved and free Black people who have been part of Yale’s history from the beginning—but too often ignored in official accounts. These individuals and their descendants worked at Yale; petitioned and fought for freedom and dignity; built churches, schools, and antislavery organizations; and were among the first Black students to transform the university from the inside.\n  \n Always alive to the surprises and ironies of the past, Yale and Slavery presents a richer and more complete history of Yale, the third-oldest college in the country, showing how pillars of American higher education, even in New England, emerged over time intertwined with the national and international history of racial slavery.

Per la prima volta in traduzione italiana – e con testo a fronte – le lezioni inedite sulla filosofia antica di Ernst Cassirer. La traduzione è stata condotta sui manoscritti conservati presso la Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library della Yale University. Il volume comprende i testi delle lezioni tenute da Cassirer a Oxford (1935) e a Yale (1942), con le quali il filosofo delle forme simboliche guida i suoi studenti a riflettere sulle grandi questioni dell’uomo. In un viaggio che dagli Ionici giunge sino al Neoplatonismo Cassirer mostra la necessità di guardare sempre ai Greci, perché è in essi che “sentiamo” la giovinezza stessa dell’umanità.

In his fourteen years as Yale's chief investment officer, David Swensen has revolutionised management of the university's investment portfolio. By relying on nonconventional assets, including private equity and venture capital, Swensen has achieved a remarkable annualised return of 16.2 percent, which has added more than $2 billion to Yale's endowment. With his exceptional performance record prompting many other institutional portfolio managers to emulate his approach, Dr. Swensen has long been besieged by professionals in the field to write a book articulating his philosophy and strategies of portfolio management. \n\nPioneering Portfolio Managementprovides a road map for creating a successful investment programme. Informed by Swensen's deep knowledge of financial markets, and ranging from the broad issues of goals and investment philosophy to the strategic and tactical aspects of portfolio management - such as handling risk, selecting investment advisers, and negotiating the opportunities and pitfall in individual asset classes - the book provides a vital source of information for anyone involved in institutional investments.

Un'indagine fondamentale coordinata da Francesco Casetti (professore alla Yale University e alla Cattolica di Milano) per capire con criteri scientifici in quali condizioni opera l'artista in Italia. Termina la ricerca una preziosa intervista con David Joselit: \"Quelle che un tempo venivano definite come belle arti vengono sempre più distribuite e consumate come un qualsiasi altro prodotto dei mass media.\"

A practical and transformative 5-step strategy to ensure the emotional wellbeing of yourself and your child\n\nThe mental wellbeing of children and adults is shockingly poor. Marc Brackett, author of Permission to Feel, knows why and what we can do. Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University's Child Study Center and in his 25 years as an emotion scientist, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults - a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being. The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognise the suffering, bullying, and abuse he'd endured. \n\nIn the decades since, Marc has led large research teams and raised tens of millions of dollars to investigate the roots of emotional wellbeing. His prescription for healthy children (and their parents, teachers, and schools) is a system called RULER, a high-impact and effective approach to understanding and mastering emotions that has already transformed the thousands of schools that have adopted it. RULER has been proven to reduce stress and burnout, improve school climate, and enhance academic achievement. This book is his way to share the strategies and skills with readers around the world. It is tested, and it works.

Quando la sua relazione con il famoso stilista americano Richard Fisher naufraga, il ricercatore irlandese Eoin O'Ralley, detto Jack, decide di lasciare New Heaven e l'università di Yale per accettare un contratto da docente presso I'University College of London. Affinché il trasferimento nella capitale inglese sia meno traumatico, Richard chiede al suo socio ed ex fidanzato Dominic di ospitare Eoin. Tra i due scoppia immediatamente una scintilla fatta di complicità e battute sarcastiche che sembra sfociare anche in un'attrazione fisica. Nonostante l'evidente affinità tra i due, come in una commedia degli equivoci, non mancheranno incomprensioni, difficili coming out, famiglie sopra le righe e allontanamenti. Riusciranno due persone così diverse, uno apparentemente sempre calmo e sorridente e l'altro noto per il carattere collerico e poco incline al compromesso a trovare una strada insieme?

\"An unusually engaging book on the forces that fuel originality across fields.\" -Adam Grant\n\n Looking at the 14 key traits of genius, from curiosity to creative maladjustment to obsession, Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University's popular \"Genius Course,\" explores what we can learn from brilliant minds that have changed the world.\n\n \n Einstein. Beethoven. Picasso. Jobs. The word genius evokes these iconic figures, whose cultural contributions have irreversibly shaped society.\n\n Yet Beethoven could not multiply. Picasso couldn't pass a 4th grade math test. And Jobs left high school with a 2.65 GPA. What does this say about our metrics for measuring success and achievement today? Why do we teach children to behave and play by the rules, when the transformative geniuses of Western culture have done just the opposite? And what is genius, really?\n\n Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University's popular \"Genius Course,\" has devoted more than two decades to exploring these questions and probing the nature of this term, which is deeply embedded in our culture. In The Hidden Habits of Genius, he reveals what we can learn from the lives of those we have dubbed \"geniuses,\" past and present.\n\n Examining the lives of transformative individuals ranging from Charles Darwin and Marie Curie to Leonardo Da Vinci and Andy Warhol to Toni Morrison and Elon Musk, Wright identifies more than a dozen drivers of genius-characteristics and patterns of behavior common to great minds throughout history. He argues that genius is about more than intellect and work ethic-it is far more complex-and that the famed \"eureka\" moment is a Hollywood fiction. Brilliant insights that change the world are never sudden, but rather, they are the result of unique modes of thinking and lengthy gestation. Most importantly, the habits of mind that produce great thinking and discovery can be actively learned and cultivated, and Wright shows us how.\n\n This book won't make you a genius. But embracing the hidden habits of these transformative individuals will make you more strategic, creative, and successful, and, ultimately, happier.

A top expert reveals his insights into Meibomian gland dysfunction, a ubiquitous, misunderstood disease that leads to Dry Eye syndrome\n\n In Reversing Dry Eye Syndrome (Yale University Press 2007), ophthalmologist Steven Maskin introduced readers to Dry Eye syndrome, explaining what the syndrome is, why it occurs, and how it can best be managed and treated. In Your Dry Eye Mystery Solved, he reveals his recent discoveries and treatments for Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), an underlying disease that leads to Dry Eye syndrome and involves blockage of the oil-producing tear glands within the eyelids. Not only are these glands key to clear vision and comfortable eyes, but when disrupted they can cause severe pain and a host of related symptoms.

Drawing lessons from writers of all ages and writing across genres, a distinguished teacher and writer reveals the enduring importance of writing for our time\n\n In this new contribution to Yale University Press's Why X Matters series, a distinguished writer and scholar tackles central questions of the discipline of writing. Drawing on his own experience with such mentors as John Updike, John Gardner, and James Baldwin, and in turn having taught such rising stars as Jesmyn Ward, Delbanco looks in particular at questions of influence and the contradictory, simultaneous impulses toward imitation and originality. Part memoir, part literary history, and part analysis, this unique text will resonate with students, writers, writing teachers, and bibliophiles.

An inspiring and enlightening introduction to Quakerism, the second title in the Yale University Press “The Spirit of . . .”series\n\n Who are the Quakers, what do they believe, and what do they practice? The Religious Society of Friends—also known as Quakers-—believes that everyone can have a direct experience of God. Quakers express this in a unique form of worship that inspires them to work for change in themselves and in the world. In The Spirit of the Quakers, Geoffrey Durham, himself a Friend, explains Quakerism through quotations from writings that cover 350 years, from the beginnings of the movement to the present day.\n\nPeace and equality are major themes in the book, but readers will also find thought-provoking passages on the importance of action for social change, the primacy of truth, the value of simplicity, the need for a sense of community, and much more. The quoted texts convey a powerful religious impulse, courage in the face of persecution, the warmth of human relationships, and dedicated perseverance in promoting just causes.\n\nThe extended quotations have been carefully selected from well-known Quakers such as George Fox, William Penn, John Greenleaf Whittier, Elizabeth Fry and John Woolman, as well as many contemporary Friends. Together with Geoffrey Durham’s enlightening and sympathetic introductions to the texts, the extracts from these writers form an engaging, often moving guide to this accessible and open-hearted religious faith.

After a solar flare upended the world order, Kwesi Brackett's life disintegrated. His wife took up with a millionaire in the heavily armed Silicon territories and his daughter's university, Yale, relocated to the Caribbean. After being laid off by NASA, Brackett finds himself in Africa, as one of the head engineers for the newly formed Nigerian Space Program. Suddenly, the NSP's goal of getting astronauts into space is more important than ever. With most of Europe, Asia, and North America knocked off-line, thousands of satellites about to plummet to Earth, and the political minefield that is the rescue of an international group of astronauts trapped on the international station, time is of the essence. The deranged and violent militant group Boko Haram is steadily approaching, and the last surviving members of the Fulani tribe, an ancient matriarchal nomadic society, have found refuge in the abandoned caves of the Saon people. Accessible only by sonic vibrations, the sophisticated cave system contains messages from the past in a series of astrolabes, powerful amulets whose destructive force is harnessed by the Fulani tribeswomen.\nThe astrolabes, it turns out, hold the secret to the Saon people's extinction, and clues about a different flare that rocked Earth thousands of years ago. When a mysterious creature breaks into Brackett's quarters, the engineer is not sure whether it was a rival space program or the government as they race to complete the Naijapool--an anti-gravity simulation to train the Naijanuats. In over his head, Bracket is distracted only by his favorite reality show Mrs. N Fires the Help and his affair with scientist and music enthusiast, Seeta. Increasingly, however, Nigeria's past and present are threatening to collide in a battle over its own future, and Bracket and Seeta seem to be the only ones who suspect it is all connected. Enter Wale Olufunmi, the original protagonist of Nigerians in Space. A former lunar geologist who continues to dream of participating directly in a space mission, Wale lands at the Nigerian Space Program facility, on a private jet. When Brackett, Wale, and Seeta discover the Fulani women's hideout, and the power of the astrolabes, they band together to outmaneuver Boko Haram, save Nigeria from a sinister government conspiracy, and finally launch a spacecraft.

One of the most distinguished cultural and intellectual historians of our time, Frank Turner taught a landmark Yale University lecture course on European intellectual history that drew scores of students over many years. His lectures—lucid, accessible, beautifully written, and delivered with a notable lack of jargon—distilled modern European history from the Enlightenment to the dawn of the twentieth century and conveyed the turbulence of a rapidly changing era in European history through its ideas and leading figures. \n \nRichard A. Lofthouse, one of Turner’s former students, has now edited the lectures into a single volume that outlines the thoughts of a great historian on the forging of modern European ideas. Moreover, it offers a fine example of how intellectual history should be taught: rooted firmly in historical and biographical evidence.

When author Jeff Hobbs arrived at Yale University, he became fast friends with the man who would be his college roommate for four years, Robert Peace. Robert's life was rough from the beginning in the crime-ridden streets of Newark in the 1980s, with his father in jail and his mother earning less than $15,000 a year. But Robert was a brilliant student, and it was supposed to get easier when he was accepted to Yale, where he studied molecular biochemistry and biophysics. But it didn't get easier. \n\nRobert carried with him the difficult dual nature of his existence, \"fronting\" in Yale, and at home. \n\nThrough an honest rendering of Robert's relationships-with his struggling mother, with his incarcerated father, with his teachers and friends and fellow drug dealers-The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peaceencompasses the most enduring conflicts in America: race, class, drugs, community, imprisonment, education, family, friendship, and love. It's about the collision of two fiercely insular worlds-the ivy-covered campus of Yale University and Newark, New Jersey, and the difficulty of going from one to the other and then back again. It's about trying to live a decent life in America. But most all the story is about the tragic life of one singular brilliant young man. His end, a violent one, is heart-breaking and powerful and unforgettable.

Murray Stein è psicoanalista, membro dell'Associazione Internazionale di Psicologia Analitica, di cui è stato presidente. Ha studiato nella Yale University e nello Yung Institut di Zurigo. In questo volume l'autore analizza essenzialmente la mezza età e ciò che oggi chiamiamo \"la transizione della metà della vita\" o, con espressione più drammatica, \"la crisi della mezza età\".

Nel maggio del 2012, solo cinque giorni dopo essersi laureata alla Yale University con il massimo dei voti, Marina Keegan muore in un incidente automobilistico nei pressi di Cape Code. Studentessa brillante, allieva di Harold Bloom, animatrice di \"Occupy Yale\", in attesa di uno stage al \"New Yorker\", all'età di ventidue anni era considerata dalla critica una delle voci più promettenti della letteratura americana. Quando la sua famiglia pubblica sul web il suo ultimo scritto, \"Il contrario della solitudine\", che dà il titolo a questa raccolta di saggi e racconti brevi, oltre un milione e mezzo di persone in tutto il mondo scopre nel giro di pochissime ore il suo straordinario talento. \"Siamo così giovani. Siamo così giovani. Abbiamo ventidue anni. Abbiamo un sacco di tempo\" scriveva. La giovinezza e il tempo, non il tempo che passa, ma il tempo che deve ancora arrivare, come un premio tanto ambito e tuttavia temuto, costituiscono il tema principale dei racconti di Marina Keegan, la sua cifra stilistica, ciò che ha fatto di lei l'icona di un'intera generazione. L'essere giovani e trovarsi di fronte all'orizzonte cangiante delle attese e delle opportunità: l'opportunità di cambiare vita, lavoro, di prendere decisioni importanti, di compiere un salto verso l'ignoto, di uscire dal guscio confortevole e protettivo della famiglia, del campus universitario, degli amici.

Medara sembra una giovane ragazza come tutte le altre, in procinto di iniziare una nuova avventura alla Yale University. Nessuno sospetta che in realtà sia una creatura ultracentenaria in cerca di risposte su un importante oggetto del suo passato, né potrebbe mai immaginare che faccia parte di uno dei più importanti Clan di Cacciatori del mondo... Perché all'oscuro degli esseri umani, si aggirano creature quasi immortali e dai poteri terribili, creature che sembrano voler distruggere l'equilibrio del nostro mondo.

In 2019 Yale University, with the support of the Getty Foundation, held an international conference, where nearly four hundred attendees from more than twenty countries gathered to discuss a vital topic: how best to conserve paintings on canvas. It was the first major symposium on the subject since 1974, when wax-resin and glue-paste lining reigned as the predominant conservation techniques. Over the past fifty years, such methods, which were often destructive to artworks, have become less widely used in favor of more minimalist approaches to intervention. More recent decades have witnessed the reevaluation of traditional practices as well as focused research supporting significant new methodologies, procedures, and synthetic materials for the care and conservation of paintings on fabric supports. \n\nConserving Canvas compiles the proceedings of the conference, presenting a wide array of papers and posters that provide important global perspectives on the history, current state, and future needs of the field. Featuring an expansive glossary of terms that will be an invaluable resource for conservators, this publication promises to become a standard reference for the international conservation community.

This textbook is a product of William Bennett’s work in developing and teaching a course on the physics of music at Yale University to a diverse audience of musicians and science students in the same class. The book is a culmination of over a decade of teaching the course and weaves together historical descriptions of the physical phenomena with the author’s clear interpretations of the most important aspects of the science of music and musical instruments. Many of the historical examples are not found in any other textbook available on the market. As the co-inventor of the Helium-Neon laser, Prof. Bennett’s knowledge of physics was world-class. As a professor at one of the most prestigious liberal-arts universities in the world, his appreciation for culture and humanities shines through. The book covers the basics of oscillations, waves and the analysis techniques necessary for understanding how musical instruments work. All types of stringed instruments, pipe organs, and the human voice are covered in this volume. A second volume covers the remaining families of musical instruments as well as selected other topics. Readers without a background in acoustics will enjoy learning the physics of the Science of Musical Sound from a preeminent scientist of the 20th century. Those well versed in acoustics will discover wonderful illustrations and photographs depicting familiar concepts in new and enlightening ways.

The private archive of the Spinelli, acquired by Yale University's Beinecke Library in 1988, constitutes the largest fund of information about a Florentine family anywhere outside Italy. The Spinelli of Florence tells the story of these merchants and their ascent to social and economic prominence during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. This book gives an intimate portrait of daily life-the worlds of papal finance, silk and wool manufacturing, and household affairs-as recorded in letters and financial ledgers preserved for two hundred years since the extinction of the male line.\n\nThe fame of this family rests largely on the extraordinary success of one individual, Tommaso Spinelli, who broke into banking through the Alberti and Borromei organizations, later to serve as depository general under Pope Eugenius IV and financial officer to three subsequent popes. Tommaso sought to raise his status in society through ties of marriage and business rather than entering the political arena, which had led to the demise and exile of older, established Florentine families, notably the Peruzzi and Alberti. Like his contemporaries, Cosimo de'Medici, Giovanni Rucellai, and Francesco Sassetti, Tommaso poured his considerable wealth into the patronage of private palaces and villas in Rome and Florence, as well as through donations to the great Franciscan church of Santa Croce. Despite his reputation for magnificence, it was Tommaso's obeisance to the codes of religious decorum and his adherence to older artistic traditions that allowed him to commemorate himself and his family without censure.\n\nThe authors of this collaborative study, an architectural historian and economic historian, add significantly to our knowledge of private and papal banking, wool and silk manufacturing, and patronage of the arts. The Spinelli of Florence is important for scholars of history, economic history, social history, and art history.

A reflective volume of essays on literature and literary study from a storied professor.\n\n In The Pensive Citadel, Victor Brombert looks back on a lifetime of learning within a university world greatly altered since he entered Yale on the GI Bill in the 1940s. Yet for all that has changed, much of Brombert’s long experience as a reader and teacher is richly familiar: the rewards of rereading, the joy of learning from students, and most of all the insight to be found in engaging works of literature. The essays gathered here range from meditations on laughter and jealousy to new appreciations of Brombert’s lifelong companions Shakespeare, Montaigne, Voltaire, and Stendhal. \n\n A veteran of D-day and the Battle of the Bulge who witnessed history’s worst nightmares firsthand, Brombert nevertheless approaches literature with a lightness of spirit, making the case for intellectual mobility and openness to change. The Pensive Citadel is a celebration of a life lived in literary study, and of what can be learned from attending to the works that form one’s cultural heritage.

Scritti da colleghi e amici italiani di Giuseppe Mazzotta (Yale University) per onorare la sua vasta e significativa attività scientifica e didattica, i saggi qui raccolti spaziano da Dante, Guicciardini, Cellini e Vico sino a Carlo Levi, Montale e Pasolini. Figura centrale degli studi italianistici tra Italia e Stati Uniti, Mazzotta ha sempre coerentemente rappresentato a livello internazionale lo studioso enciclopedico capace di far interagire discipline diverse per ricostruire ambienti e autori, indagane i testi e porre l'analisi letteraria al servizio dell'insegnamento. Fine e innovativo studioso di Dante, Petrarca e Boccaccio, del Rinascimento e Vico (senza tralasciare significativi contributi anche su autori più recenti e contemporanei), Mazzotta è un maestro che a generazioni di allievi e di lettori ha insegnato a riflettere su se stessi e sul tempo in cui viviamo non meno che sulla letteratura.

'A compelling addition to the canon of Pan-African creative writing from the 1930s' Stephanie Newell, Professor, Yale University\n\n\n\nEre Roosevelt Came is a short novel by early Pan-Africanist Duse Mohamed Ali. Originally serialized in Ali's Nigerian magazine The Comet in 1934, it grapples with the rise of global fascism and white supremacy, and the growing geopolitical influence of the USA in the interwar period.\n\n\n\nThis is a fantastical, intricately woven and speculative story about how Black American airmen, organizing in secret, fight an international assemblage of white supremacists and Russian foreign agents bent on instigating a new world war. The narrative reveals how Black liberation struggles, Bolshevism, and the rise of so-called 'colored' Japanese empires were bound together in the Pan-African literary imaginary.\n\n\n\nWritten by a Sudanese-Egyptian, serialized in a West African magazine, and set in the USA, Ere Roosevelt Came is a Pan-African novel par excellence, and a fascinating historical document that conveys the complexities of Black internationalism in the interwar years.\n\n\n\nThe novel is presented with two original, contextualizing essays and appendices featuring selected other writings to provide further insight into Ali's vision of a Pan-African future.

The Artist's Handbook has become an indispensable reference work for thousands of practising artists all over the world. This fifth edition has been prepared by Steven Sheehan, Director of the Ralph Mayer Center, Yale University School of Art. It has been systematically revised and expanded to take account of the latest research. Once again, it has been edited for the British market.

An incisive analysis of the pedagogy of influential artist and teacher Josef Albers.\n \n An extraordinary teacher whose influence continues today, Josef Albers helped shape the Bauhaus school in Germany and established the art and design programs at Black Mountain College in North Carolina and Yale University. His books about color theory have informed generations, and his artworks are included in the canon of high-modernist non-representational art. The pedagogy Albers developed was a dynamic approach to teaching that transcended the modernist agendas and cultivated a material way of thinking among his students.\n \n With this book, Jeffrey Saletnik explores the origins of Albers's teaching practices and their significance in conveying attitudes about form, material, and sensory understanding to artists Eva Hesse and Richard Serra. He demonstrates how pedagogy is a framework that establishes the possibility for artistic discourse and how the methods through which artists learn are manifested in their individual practices. Tracing through lines from Albers's training in German educational traditions to his influence on American postwar art, Josef Albers, Late Modernism, and Pedagogic Form positions Albers's pedagogy as central to the life of modernism.

Nel 2002 Kevin Roche ha donato l'archivio dello studio Eero Saarinen and Associates alla Yale University. Consultando i disegni originali, le lettere ed altri materiali rari Matrix International ha scoperto alcuni progetti di Furniture Design fino ad allora inediti e ne ha approfondito lo studio per svilupparne la produzione industriale. Le Lounge Seats per il General Motors Technical Center, i tavoli per il Vassar College e le sedute modulari per la Law School della Chicago University fanno oggi parte della collezione di Matrix International. L'unità organica nel progetto d'arredo rappresenta la sintesi di questa esperienza e offre un'ampia prospettiva sul lavoro di Saarinen nel campo del Furniture Design.

Nella civiltà dell'Occidente, come in ogni cultura storica, le origini dell'arte sono collegate al sacro: ai riti collettivi, alla fede personale, alle pratiche devote e alle esperienze mistiche. Il sacerdote e storico Timothy Verdon, formatosi alla Yale University (USA) e oggi direttore del Museo dell'Opera di S. Maria del Fiore a Firenze e dell'Ufficio d'arte sacra dell'Arcidiocesi fiorentina, analizza questo rapporto, rammentandone le basi teologiche, le tappe evolutive, i maestri e i capolavori. Guardando non solo all'Italia, ma all'Europa intera, il libro narra i modi in cui, secolo dopo secolo, la fede dei cristiani ha plasmato opere di autentica bellezza.
