ANDREW MCLEAN

"Andrew McClellan's well-conceived, thoughtfully argued book provides a much-needed history of the art museum as well as an astute assessment of critical issues facing museums today. There has been a pressing need for a synthetic, even-handed overview like this one. It will find a large readership among those concerned with museums, art history, and cultural policy, and I predict it will be widely used in courses in museum and curatorial studies."--Martha Ward, author of "Pissarro, Neo-impressionism and the Spaces of the Avant-Garde" ""The Art Museum from Boullee to Bilbao" is extremely important to the growing field of museum studies.

The result is a tour de force that reinvigorates our sense of why art museums matter. This is a book that will leave its mark on debates about the social role of museums for some time to come."--Tony Bennett, Director, ESRC Centre for Research on Socio-cultural Change "With its long historical view of ongoing controversies and deba

Un nuevo y radical enfoque sobre el entrenamiento, con un análisis acerca de las funciones cerebrales del caballo. En este contexto se puede aprender cómo el entrenamiento se incorpora a la conducta del caballo y por qué se dan los fracasos. Los métodos de entrenamiento se han desarrollado a través de la rara combinación de la investigación científica y el entrenamiento práctico y profesional de caballos. Para poder comprender al caballo de una manera no antropomórfica, se debe aceptar que las prácticas de entrenamiento basadas en castigos y recompensas ineficaces no son apropiadas. Los métodos de entrenamiento descritos en esta obra no son más que un cambio en el paradigma sobre la forma de entrenar y comprender a los caballos. Ésta es una obra para cualquier persona que desee comprender mejor a su caballo o se pregunte por qué éste se comporta de la forma en que lo hace. Por ello, resultará enormemente beneficioso para todo aquel involucrado en el rendimiento o la cría caballar, incluidos los jinetes de competición, los entrenadores, los criadores y los veterinarios de caballos.
