Why Marx Was Right Terry Eagleton Marx’s Communist Manifesto is considered one of the most influential texts of the past two hundred years. With its rich and uncompromising critique of capitalism, Marx transformed our understanding of human history. In the wake of the current devastating financial crisis, is Marxism simply a relic of a different age? In this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes vigorous issue with the argument that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism—that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on—he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx’s own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been shaken to its roots, Why Marx Was Right is as urgent and timely as it is brave and candid. Written with Eagleton’s customary trenchancy, clarity and wit, it will attract an audience far beyond the confines of academia. Terry Eagleton is currently Bailrigg Professor of English Literature at the University of Lancaster, England, and Professor of Cultural Theory at the National University of Ireland, Galway.

It, too, is a place lost in time. For most people, a visit to Beardmore Camp is a trip back in history, whether to the original camp structure from 19 years ago, now buried under snow, or to the sites of ancient forests and bones, now buried under rock. Ever since Robert Scott collected fos- sils on his way back down the Beardmore Glacier in February 1912, geologists and paleontologists have had an interest in the rocky outcrops lining the broad river of ice.

It is the most important single illuminated manuscript acquired by the Morgan in the last twenty-five years and will go on view in the East Room of the historic McKim building. The tiny, jewel-like book, measuring just 2 ¾ by 2 inches, is richly illustrated with 132 scenes from the lives of Christ, the Virgin Mary, the apostles, and numerous saints. The work was created by an artist known as the Master of Claude de France and can be characterized as the pinnacle of delicacy in Renaissance illumination. The artist, named after this prayer book and a companion manuscript, was active in Tours during the first quarter of the sixteenth century. Barely a dozen of his works survive. The prayer book was given to the Morgan by Mrs. Alexandre P. Rosenberg, a long time generous supporter of the Museum. The gift is in memory of her husband Alexandre Paul Rosenberg, who died in Virgin and Child with St. John the Baptist, with the coat of arms of Queen Claude de France in the lower border, illuminated 1987.

  • Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance
    9-803-127 REV: DECEMBER 2, 2010 NANCY F. KOEHN Leadership in Crisis: Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance For scientific discovery give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel give me Amundsen; but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton. — Sir Raymond Priestley, Antarctic Explorer and Geologist On January 18, 1915, the ship Endurance, carrying a highly celebrated British polar expedition, froze into the icy waters off the coast of Antarctica. The leader of the expedition, Sir Ernest Shackleton, had planned to sail his boat to the coast through the Weddell Sea, which bounded Antarctica to the north, and then march a crew of six men, supported by dogs and sledges, to the Ross Sea on the opposite side of the continent (see Exhibit 1).1 Deep in the southern hemisphere, it was early in the summer, and the Endurance was within sight of land, so Shackleton still had reason to anticipate reaching shore. The ice, however, was unusually thick for the ship’s latitude, and an unexpected southern wind froze it solid around the ship. Within hours the Endurance was completely beset, a wooden island in a sea of ice. More than eight months later, the ice still held the vessel. Instead of melting and allowing the crew to proceed on its mission, the ice, moving with ocean currents, had carried the boat over 670 miles north.2 As it moved, the ice slowly began to soften, and the tremendous force of distant currents alternately broke apart the floes—wide plateaus made of thousands of tons of ice—and pressed them back together, creating rift lines with huge piles of broken ice slabs.

  • Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts
    THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM MASTERWORKS FROM THE MORGAN: MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE MANUSCRIPTS Although Pierpont Morgan acquired medieval and Renaissance manuscripts only during the last dozen years of his life, his collection of some six hundred manuscripts was world renowned. His son, J. P. Morgan, Jr., added two hundred more that matched those of his father in terms of quality and importance. The collection currently numbers nearly fourteen hundred books and leaves. Written by hand and often sumptuously painted or illuminated with gold leaf, these manuscripts reflect the religious, intellectual, and artistic life of their time. Often commissioned by leaders of church and state, they were frequently made of rare and precious materials, requiring the combined skills of parchment makers, scribes, editors, illuminators, and binders. Protected by their bindings, the vivid colors of their miniatures have changed little, making them the best preserved of all medieval and Renaissance paintings. The icons of illumination shown here were selected because each, in some way, is the best of its kind and part of the core of masterworks upon which the Morgan’s international reputation is based. Nativity, in an initial P, leaf from a Gradual (I), in Latin. Italy, Florence, 1392–99, illuminated at Santa Maria degli Angeli by Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci for Paolo Venier, abbot of San Michele à Murano. This large historiated initial and four others in the Morgan come from the same two-volume Gradual, a choir book containing the sung portions of the Mass. The initial P begins the Introit for the Christmas Mass, taken from Isaiah (9:6): Puer natus est nobis (A child is born to us).

    First, unique and unrepeatable editions limited to 987 copies numbered and certifi ed by notary public LIVRE DE CHASSE Binding of the Livre de Chasse, by GASTON PHOEBUS by Gaston Phoebus Bibliothèque nationale de France • Paris First, unique and unrepeatable edition limited to 987 copies numbered and certifi ed by notary public The Livre de Chasse (Book of the Hunt) was written by Gaston Phoebus, count of Foix and expert huntsman. For many years this treatise was famous for both the quality of its hunting lessons and its extraordinary illuminations: a masterpiece of early-fi fteenth- century manuscript production in Paris, and one of the very few educational books to be illustrated as lavishly as a Bible. Besides the lessons it contains, this treatise also presents hunting as a redeeming exercise enabling hunters to go straight to Heaven by endowing them with an upright body and mind. The composition itself of this deeply pondered book links the hunter to the spiritual world. The different artists who worked on this manuscript – skilful mas- ters of medieval canons of illustration such as line dynamics, repeated fi gures, effects of colours, etc – placed their art at the service of Gaston Phoebus’s desire to teach, thereby setting out not merely a lesson of hunting but a lesson of life.

  • A Word from the Director
    Issue 15: December 2010 IceSkedNewsletter of the Antarctic Research Centre Victoria University of Wellington A Word From the Director As we look forward from the International Polar Year, the ARC prepares for a very busy Antarctic field season with six staff and three students participating in a range of projects including: site survey with the next ANDRILL project on the Ross Ice Shelf at Coulman High; glaciology and geology from the central Transantarctic Mountain camp at the Beardmore Glacier and sea-ice sampling in McMurdo Sound. I wish all a safe and productive summer of fieldwork. Tim Naish Glacial Modelling The Glacier Modelling Group within the ARC aims to identify our knowledge of Southern Alps precipitation using weather the climatic drivers of Southern Hemisphere glacier station data, in collaboration with Sam Dean (NIWA) and fluctuations, past present and future. Our group has grown Andrew. Karen McKinnon is modelling the Tasman Glacier and and numbers six staff (Andrew Mackintosh, Brian Anderson, is currently examining how bed topography influences glacier Nick Golledge, Dan Zwartz, Huw Horgan, Ruschle Dadic) and response, with Brian and Andrew. Rebecca O'Donnell has five students (Alice Doughty, Karen McKinnon, Stephen Stuart, been simulating former Tasmanian glaciations in collaboration Lawrence Kees, Jeremy Fyke). In addition, Heather Purdie with Andrew, Nick Golledge and Alun Hubbard (University of (PhD) and Rebecca O'Donnell (MSc) recently submitted their Wales). Alice Doughty has attended the prestigious European theses. We are working on interwoven projects in the modelling summer school at Karthaus, Italy, and has recently Southern Alps and Antarctica. In both places we are co-authored papers in Nature and Nature Geoscience with her developing models but also collecting data to constrain them.
