Alwar Balasubramaniam's sculpture plays with time, shape, shadow, perspective: four tricky sensations that can reveal -- or conceal -- what's really out there. At TEDIndia, the artist shows slides of his extraordinary installations.
Many features of civilization originated in the lands we call the ancient Near East, a vast and varied area from Turkey to the Indus Valley of present-day Pakistan and from the Caucasus to the Arabian Peninsula. This essential guide for K–12 educators introduces the variety and diversity of art produced by the rich and complex cultures that flourished in this region during an equally vast time period, from the eighth millennium B.C. to the middle of the seventh century A.D. Learn about the cultural, archaeological, and historical contexts for a selection of thirty works of art in the form of sculpture, silver and gold ritual vessels and objects, monumental reliefs, cuneiform tablets, and stamp and cylinder seals. Curriculum connections, discussion questions, lesson plans, and activities for a range of grade levels provide useful strategies for teaching in the classroom. The resource also includes a bibliography and glossary.

Dr. Nigel Spivey uses the 2004 election campaign of George Bush to explore the manner in which art and architecture have been used to propagandize powerful figures since time immemorial. Spivey’s four case studies hit four keys areas in the early part of the art history survey—Stonehenge (Prehistory), Darius the Great and Persepolis (Ancient Near East), Alexander the Great (Ancient Greece), and Augustus (Ancient Rome)—in just under 56 minutes. Students begin the course prepared to see ancient art as connected to the contemporary world around them, and to discuss how images can be used politically, economically, and socially—not just as objects of display in a museum or PowerPoint. The mess of electioneering today has great precedent in ancient cultures—they produced propaganda too.

"The only shoes you can walk in are your own," she says. "With compassion, courage and understanding, we can walk together, side by side."

This textbook is designed for beginning learners who want to learn basic Japanese for the purpose of living and working in Japan. Unlike textbooks written primarily for students, whose content largely centers on student life, this book focuses more on social and professional life beyond school.
As a beginning level textbook, this book includes many elementary grammar patterns (Japanese Language Proficiency Test Levels 5 and 4), but the vocabulary and situations are selected specifically for working adults. Explanations are kept concise so as to only cover key points. The main focus is on oral communication and the accompanying audio is to be used extensively. This textbook can be used for self-study, as part of an online course, or as a traditional college course.
In this module, teachers will learn ways of engaging their JSS students in meaningful communicative tasks that will train them to perform various language functions in real-life contexts outside the classroom, such as asking for clarifications, responding to a request, an invitation or a greeting and so on.

" This course does not seek to provide answers to ethical questions. Instead, the course hopes to teach students two things. First, how do you recognize ethical or moral problems in science and medicine? When something does not feel right (whether cloning, or failing to clone) ŰÓ what exactly is the nature of the discomfort? What kind of tensions and conflicts exist within biomedicine? Second, how can you think productively about ethical and moral problems? What processes create them? Why do people disagree about them? How can an understanding of philosophy or history help resolve them? By the end of the course students will hopefully have sophisticated and nuanced ideas about problems in bioethics, even if they do not have comfortable answers."
