Post-Critical Museology considers what the role of the public and the experience of audiences means to the everyday work of the art museum. It does this from the perspectives of the art museum itself as well as from the visitors it seeks. Through the analysis of material gathered from a major collaborative research project carried out at Tate Britain in London the book develops a conceptual reconfiguration of the relationship between art; culture and society in which questions about the art museumrsquo;s relationship to global migration and the new media ecologies are examined. It suggests that whilst European museums have previously been studied as institutions of collection; heritage and tradition; however lsquo;modernrsquo; their focus; it is now better to consider them as distributive networks in which value travels along transmedial and transcultural lines.Post-Critical Museology is intended as a contribution to progressive museological thinking and practice and calls for a new alignment of academics and professionals in what it announces as post-critical museology. An alignment that is committed to rethinking what an art museum in the twenty-first century could be; as well as what knowledge and understanding its future practitioners might draw upon in a rapidly changing social and cultural context. The book aims to be essential reading in the growing field of museum studies. It will also be of professional interest to all those working in the cultural sphere; including museum professionals; policy makers and art managers.

More of a troubleshooting book for the more advanced trainer; but a decent overview.By Too Many BooksThe book provides a good overview of Schutzhund as a dog sport; but I would not recommend this book as a handlers introduction to training.

Brilliant - highly recommendedBy Tamarinda SchreuderThe authors are well known experts in their field. The book is clearly written and easy to understand. Their methods and techniques are well thought out and make sense. I have been using some of their methods for fixing problems in my schutzhund dog and am seeing steady improvement. I wish I had taught some of the exercises using their techniques right from the start.I unreservedly recommend this book to anybody who is into dog training; the principles can be applied to most types of dog training.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
