In the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations, however, the same institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen. The history of the continent is thus a single story binding living Africans to their earliest human ancestors. John Iliffe was Professor of African History at the University of Cambridge and is a Fellow of St. John’s College. He is the author of several books on Africa, including Amodern history of Tanganyika and The African poor: A history,which was awarded the Herskovits Prize of the African Studies Association of the United States.

  • Mythology Teachers' Guide
    Teachers’ Guide Mythology: The Gods, Heroes, and Monsters of Ancient Greece by Lady Hestia Evans • edited by Dugald A. Steer • illustrated by Nick Harris, Nicki Palin, and David Wyatt • decorative friezes by Helen Ward Age 8 and up • Grade 3 and up ISBN: 978-0-7636-3403-2 $19.99 ($25.00 CAN) ABOUT THE BOOK Mythology purports to be an early nineteenth-century primer on Greek myths written by Lady Hestia Evans. This particular edition is inscribed to Lady Hestia’s friend John Oro, who was embarking on a tour of the sites of ancient Greece. Along his journey, Oro has added his own notes, comments, and drawings in the margins — including mention of his growing obsession with the story of King Midas and a visit to Olympus to make a daring request of Zeus himself. This guide to Mythology is designed to support a creative curriculum and provide opportunities to make links across subjects. The suggested activities help students make connections with and build on their existing knowledge, which may draw from film, computer games, and other popular media as well as books and more traditional sources. We hope that the menu of possibilities presented here will serve as a creative springboard and inspiration for you in your classroom. For your ease of use, the guide is structured to follow the book in a chapter-by-chapter order. However, many of the activities allow teachers to draw on material from several chapters. For instance, the storytelling performance activity outlined in the section “An Introduction to Mythology” could also be used with stories from other chapters.

  • Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture's Showman
    Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture’s Showman His giant new structure aims to be an Eiffel Tower for New York. Is it genius or folly? February 26, 2018 | By IAN PARKER Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling him- self, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?” Ross was in a meeting room at the Time Warner Center, which his company, Related, built and partly owns, and where he lives and works. We had a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The room was filled with models of Hudson Yards, which is a mile and a half southwest, between Thirtieth and Thirty-third Streets, and between Tenth Avenue and the West Side Highway. There, Related and its partner, Oxford Properties Group, are partway through erecting the complex, which includes residential space, office space, and a mall—with such stores as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Urban Decay, and a Thomas Keller restaurant designed to evoke “Mad Men”—most of it on a platform built over active rail lines.

  • Life Stories in Art
    Life Stories in Art “forever seeing new beauties:” the art of mary rogers williams Kari Russell-Pool: Self-Portraits in Glass MODERN FIGURES: MARY KNOLLENBERG SCULPTURES Introduction As a museum named after a woman who devoted herself to the arts, the Florence Griswold Museum has long championed the role that women artists have played in Connecticut, with past exhibitions devoted to both historical and contemporary figures. Life Stories in Art brings together three individual exhibitions celebrating the art and life of three American artists — Tonalist painter Mary Rogers Williams (1857–1907), modern sculptor Mary Knollenberg (1904–1992), and contemporary glass artist Kari Russell-Pool — who are particularly deserving of appreciation. At first glance, the juxtaposition of a painter, a sculptor, and a glass artist, each from a different century, would seem to offer more differences than commonalities. Indeed, their diverse artistic practices are highly individual and each exhibition has been conceived to stand on its own. But the three artists share something important in common — a willingness to chart one’s own course against the grain of society.
