Maxwell Street: The End of Victory Culture: overview
http://maxwellstreet.blogspot.com/2010/08/end-of-victory-culture-overview.html
Monday, August 02, 2010. The End of Victory Culture. Tom Engelhardt’s The End of Victory Culture. Is interesting enough, and provocative enough to merit a few days worth of responses. I’m not particularly interested in reviewing the book (or any book)—reviews are boring, and plentiful enough in any scholarly journal. I did find quite a bit to respond to, however, and hopefully in the process of response I can provide a sense of Engelhardt’s book for the reader(s) that I have. As frustrating as it can be ...

Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Mad World, page 4. C) M E. Wells, 2010. Keep up the good work! These are really quite cool - hope to see more! Well, familiar faces will start to appear. should I post more? Tam comes into it in the next panel or two, I think. Its not a very good likeness though :(.

Maxwell Street: The Open Empire: first impressions
http://maxwellstreet.blogspot.com/2010/08/open-empire-first-impressions.html
Thursday, August 12, 2010. What Hansen really attempts to do—which may be different from most traditional textbooks—is include unusual sources to give a better glimpse into the lives of women, minorities, travelers, and other folks who don’t make it into the written histories of Sima Qian and his successors. I will be interested to see what elements of the textbook students attend to most, and what they think of the general tone. Sounds like something I would love to read! View my complete profile.

Maxwell Street: Bookshelves
http://maxwellstreet.blogspot.com/2010/07/bookshelves.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. I took these images of my bookshelves, meaning to post them- and I'm finally getting to it now. Why? I don't know, I felt like sharing what was in my collection. They appear in descending order of importance, and I'll explain why. Click on the photos if you can't read the titles- the images are large enough. There are more China books and some L&M readings not pictured below. And - not wanting to disturb his treasure hunt, but needing to have some idea of where useful books are -...

Maxwell Street: The Manchus: first installment
http://maxwellstreet.blogspot.com/2010/08/manchus-first-installment.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. I’ll be taking this book in several chunks, because it is assigned to me, and I have the time to read in leisure and contemplation before the beginning of school. So, The Manchus,. By Pamela Crossley. This is the first installment of a Blackwell series called The Peoples of Asia. This is the best interpretation I can offer, and yet, this is the occupational hazard of the historian in general. Of the time. Likewise, the Republican period and the revolution seem very much ti...

Maxwell Street: Music and meaning
http://maxwellstreet.blogspot.com/2010/09/music-and-meaning.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. I read this article on NPR’s website. This morning, and was initially curious, then disappointed, and then compelled to write. A father seeks to give his daughter the albums that “get you through adolescence.” Upon skimming the list, and even upon finding many musicians I loved, I wondered—where are the women? Like Susan Douglas writes in ’95, in Where the Girls Are:. I have in my hand an album of hers: The Cardinal. Film by Otto Preminger, score by Jerome Moross). From ...
