More and More and More : An All-Consuming History of Energy
A radical new history of energy and humanity's insatiable need for resources that will change the way we talk about climate change'A necessary, eye-opening and frequently gobsmacking book...Removing fossil fuels from the energy mix will require something akin to an amputation.The vivid sense of the scale and complexity of the world’s material and energetic flows provided by this book makes clear what a difficult, and possibly bloody, operation that will have to be' - The EconomistIt has become habitual to think of our relationship with energy as one of transition: with wood superseded by coal, coal by oil, oil by nuclear and then at some future point all replaced by green sources.Jean-Baptiste Fressoz’s devastating but unnervingly entertaining book shows what an extraordinary delusion this is.Far from the industrial era passing through a series of transformations, each new phase has in practice remained almost wholly entangled with the previous one.Indeed the very idea of transition turns out to be untrue. The author shares the same acute anxiety about the need for a green transition as the rest of us, but shows how, disastrously, our industrial history has in fact been based on symbiosis, with each major energy source feeding off the others.Using a fascinating array of examples, Fressoz describes how we have gorged on all forms of energy – with whole forests needed to prop up coal mines, coal remaining central to the creation of innumerable new products and oil still central to our lives.The world now burns more wood and coal than ever before. This book reveals an uncomfortable truth: ‘transition’ was originally itself promoted by energy companies, not as a genuine plan, but as a means to put off any meaningful change.More and More and More forces its readers to understand the modern world in all its voracious reality, and the true nature of the challenges heading our way.

Contemporary Art Cinema Culture in China
How do contemporary Chinese audiences access art cinema?What are the alternative channels for the distribution and exhibition of art cinema in China?How is Chinese art cinema changing with the booming of internet media and commodity culture in the 21st century? To answer these questions, Xiang Fan explores the dynamic networks of art cinema in China in the 21st century, highlighting the cultural practices of intermediaries such as independent programmers, internet critics, and fan translators.Offering insights gleaned from original ethnographic research, Fan reveals how these intermediary practitioners think about cinema, negotiate judgement and appreciation, construct a discourse of value and taste, and most importantly, constitute a coordinated and interrelated network for the sharing of art cinema.She argues that although their motivation was derived from a cinephilia seeking to forge an alternative mode of distribution and reception, the ‘new’ cinema culture they have produced simultaneously negotiates a subtly complicit relationship with authoritative and market forces.In doing so, she offers an original interdisciplinary perspective on contemporary art cinema culture in Chinese society.

In your opinion, which topics in history, art, and culture still need more or even the most research?
In my opinion, there are several topics in history, art, and culture that still need more research. One such topic is the history and contributions of marginalized groups, such as women, people of color, and indigenous communities. Their stories and experiences have often been overlooked or marginalized in traditional historical narratives, and there is a need for more research to uncover and amplify their voices. Additionally, the impact of colonialism and imperialism on art and culture around the world is another area that requires further exploration. Understanding how these forces have shaped and influenced artistic and cultural expressions in different regions is crucial for a more comprehensive understanding of global history and heritage. Furthermore, the intersection of technology and art, as well as the evolution of digital and virtual art forms, is a relatively new area that could benefit from more research. As technology continues to advance, it is important to study how it is shaping artistic practices and cultural expressions in the contemporary world.

Thomas More : A Very Brief History
‘If the English people were to be set a test to justify their history and civilization by the example of one man, then it is Sir Thomas More whom they would perhaps choose.’ So commented The Times in 1978 on the 500th anniversary of More’s birth.Twenty-two years later, Pope John Paul II proclaimed Thomas More the patron saint of politicians and people in public life, on the basis of his ‘constant fidelity to legitimate authority and . . . his intention to serve not power but the supreme ideal of justice’. In this fresh assessment of More’s life and legacy, John Guy considers the factors that have given rise to such claims concerning More’s significance.Who was the real Thomas More? Was he the saintly, self-possessed hero of conscience of Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons or was he the fanatical, heretic-hunting torturer of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall?Which of these images of More has the greater historical veracity? And why does this man continue to fascinate, inspire and provoke us today?
