Universities have historically been integral to democracy. What can
they do to reclaim this critical role? Universities play an
indispensable role within modern democracies. But this role is
often overlooked or too narrowly conceived, even by universities
themselves. In What Universities Owe Democracy, Ronald J. Daniels,
the president of Johns Hopkins University, argues that-at a moment
when liberal democracy is endangered and more countries are heading
toward autocracy than at any time in generations-it is critical for
today's colleges and universities to reestablish their place in
democracy. Drawing upon fields as varied as political science,
economics, history, and sociology, Daniels identifies four distinct
functions of American higher education that are key to liberal
democracy: social mobility, citizenship education, the stewardship
of facts, and the cultivation of pluralistic, diverse communities.
By examining these roles over time, Daniels explains where colleges
and universities have faltered in their execution of these
functions-and what they can do going forward. Looking back on his
decades of experience leading universities, Daniels offers bold
prescriptions for how universities can act now to strengthen
democracy. For those committed to democracy's future prospects,
this book is a vital resource.

You've got the artistic talent; now learn how to make a career out
of it! Fine artists are taught many things about the history,
theory, and craft of art in art schools and university art
programs, but rarely do they learn much, if anything, about how to
make a career of their talents. The Business of Being an Artist,
now in its sixth edition, contains information on how artists may
develop a presence in the art world that leads to sales. The book
contains information on how artists can learn to sell their work
directly to the public with an understanding of the principles of
marketing and sales as they're applicable to works of art. Artists
will also learn how to find a suitable gallery that will arrange
sales and commissions and how to set up a contractual relationship
with the dealer that is both equitable and profitable. Among the
topics covered in The Business of Being an Artist are: the range of
exhibition opportunities for emerging and mid-career artists; how
to set prices for artwork; when or if artists should pay to advance
their careers; how artists may communicate with the public;
applying for loans, grants, and fellowships; areas of the law that
concern artists; using art materials safely; online sales and
marketing, and much more. In addition to all of this priceless
information, The Business of Being an Artist includes a unique
discussion of some of the emotional issues that face artists
throughout their careers, such as working alone, confronting
stereotypes, handling criticisms and rejection, the glare of
publicity, and the absence of attention. Without a doubt, The
Business of Being an Artist is a must-have book for every artist
ready to turn their talent into a successful business.
