It admitted its ownership of the land sought to be condemned, and denied that no one else had any interest therein. This reprint contains poems I have loved since childhood. This latest installment is the perfect example of that. I dare you to read it without needing a tissue. En verdad es que no sé cómo Kassfinol logra darle ese frescura a sus novelas y personajes siendo en verdad una bocanada de aire fresco y me parece que es la única (o de las pocas) que tiene esa naturalidad para usar ese sarcasmo e ironía en sus personajes y uno se ría de sus ocurrencias mientras vamos leyendo una novela llena de acción y un toque de romance, todo esto en un ámbito paranormal.

fication and statistics had long dominated Western studies of the bronzes.Revisiting a controversy that was ended by archaeology before the issues at stake were fully understood, Robert Bagley shows its methodological implications to be profound. Starting with a close reading of the work of Karlgren, he uses an analogy with biological taxonomy to clarify questions of method and to distinguish between science and the appearance of science. Then, turning to Loehr, he provides the rationale for an art history that is concerned above all with constructing a meaningful history of creative events, one that sees the intentionality of designers and patrons as the driving force behind stylistic change. In a concluding chapter he analyzes the concept of style, arguing that many classic confusions in art historical theorizing arise from a failure to recognize that style is not a property of objects. Addressed not just to ancient China specialists or historians of Chinese art, this book uses Loehr’s work on bronzes as a case study for exploring central issues of art history. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with the analysis of visual materials.
