Now available for pre-order: "Interpreting Christmas at Museums and Historic Sites," edited by Max van Balgooy and Ken Turnio, and published by Rowman & Littlefield for AASLH. I wrote a chapter for the book, "Not Everyone Celebrates Christmas: Expanding Your Holiday Horizons," which discusses not only Hanukkah, but other faith traditions as well as Christian faith traditions that do not celebrate Christmas as it has come to be observed in the U.S. and Canada. From the back of the book: "Interpreting Christmas at Museums and Historic Sites offers a wide range of perspectives on Christmas and practical guidance for planning, research, interpretation, and programming by board members, staff, and volunteers involved in the management, research, and interpretation at house museums, historic sites, history museums, and historical societies across the United States. Packed with fresh ideas and approaches by nearly two dozen scholars and leaders in this specialized topic, as well as Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, they can easily be adapted for the unique needs of organizations of various budgets and capacities. An extensive bibliography of books and articles published in the last twenty years provides additional resources for research and exploration." https://lnkd.in/e7wHsDQY

3️⃣0️⃣ November #Museum30 celebrates museums & heritage, a theme a day - 9th being Abstraction. Dunblane’s historic Leighton Library has a 1722 3-volume edition of “The works of John Locke” which includes “An Essay Concerning Human Understanding” in which English philosopher and physician (widely regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers) John Locke defined abstraction: “…the mind makes particular ideas received from particular things become general; which it does by considering them as they are in the mind—mental appearances—separate from all other existences, and from the circumstances of real existence, such as time, place, and so on. This procedure is called abstraction.” 🚶Visit Dunblane's historic Leighton Library 📅 Open only on Saturdays until Christmas 🕚 11am-4pm 🆓 Free admission (donations invited) https://lnkd.in/eZ4cprRi #Scotland #ScotlandIsCalling #VisitScotland #ExploreScotland #ScotlandIsNow
