Julia Warhola Was an Artist in Her Own Right The calligrapher, illustrator, and mother to Andy Warhol lived with her son in New York City for decades, supporting and even collaborating with him on artistic projects.

"The first scholar with a deep knowledge of Carpatho-Rusyn culture to write about Warhol, Rusinko’s engaging book will no doubt prove to be the definitive study of Julia’s profound influence on her son."

Terrific review of Andy Warhol's Mother @hyperallergic.com!

"Today, @aupresses.bsky.social joins in repudiating the recent presidential Executive Order that grossly mischaracterizes current primary and secondary history education across the US as 'radical indoctrination.'"👇

The cover image from the book The Globalization of Wheat by Marci R. Baranski. There is a stylized graphic of a hand holding a globe and wheat stalk.

I heard we're talking about the politicization of science today? It just happens to be my book's 2nd birthday! 🎂🎂

The Globalization of Wheat is about how a controversial scientific concept, "wide adaptation," became the basis of today's international agricultural development.
