Jeffrey Taylor is US Fulbright Scholar at the European Humanities University (EHU) in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Dr Taylor’s volume brilliantly fills the gap by introducing a broad range of relevant topics from a practical, theoretical, and historical perspective." Christian Huemer, Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Austria
