Intelligence
Mark M. Lowenthal’s trusted guide is the go-to resource for understanding how the intelligence community’s history, structure, procedures, and functions affect policy decisions. In this Seventh Edition, Lowenthal examines cyber space and the issues it presents to the intelligence community such as defining cyber as a new collection discipline; the implications of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s staff report on enhanced interrogation techniques; the rise of the Islamic State; and the issues surrounding the nuclear agreement with Iran.

AFIO's Guide to the Study of Intelligence
The goal of the Guide to the Study of Intelligence is to help instructors teach about the field of intelligence. This includes... undergraduate and graduate professors of History, Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies, and related topics, especially those with no or limited professional experience in the field. The assumption is that none of the... instructors is an expert in the topic of intelligence. Even those who are former practitioners are likely to have only a limited knowledge of the very broad field of intelligence, as most spend their careers in one or two agencies at most and may have focused only on collection or analysis of intelligence or support to those activities."In each of the articles the intent is to identify the important learning points for students and the materials that an instructor can use to teach. This includes books, articles, and websites..."

With a focus on counterterrorism and cyber-security, author James E. Steiner provides a thorough and in-depth picture of why intelligence is so crucial to homeland security missions, who provides intelligence support to which homeland security customer, and how intelligence products differ depending on the customer’s specific needs and duties.

Florian et Michael Quistrebert
Mêlant couleurs, lumière, masse et illusions, Florian et Michael Quistrebert rejouent dans leurs œuvres de grands motifs de l’art moderne, en les pervertissant, à partir d’une approche singulière de la matière. Au Palais de Tokyo, ils déploient un vaste théâtre optique au sein duquel l’expérience de leurs peintures et vidéos est troublée par les brillances et les mouvements internes des objets. Paradoxales, les œuvres des frères Quistrebert évoquent l’impossibilité de la saisie du tableau. Leurs peintures ne sont jamais ce qu’elles montrent, ou plutôt ne se stabilisent jamais à l’endroit de leur sujet. Les artistes explorent la perception en la saisissant sous différents aspects, intellectuels, optiques, symboliques ou encore occultes. Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle de Florian & Michael Quistrebert au Palais de Tokyo, « The Light of the Light », 19.02 – 16.05 2016
Potential Images
In Potential Images Dario Gamboni explores ambiguity in modern art, considering images that rely to a great degree on a projected or imaginative response from viewers to achieve their effect. Ambiguity became increasingly important in late 19th- and early 20th-century aesthetics, as is evidenced in works by such artists as Redon, Cezanne, Gauguin, Ensor and the Nabis. Similarly, the Cubists subverted traditional representational conventions, requiring their viewers to decipher images to extract their full meanings. The same device was taken up in the various experiments leading to abstraction. For example, it was Kandinsky's intention that his work could be interpreted in both figurative and non-figurative ways, and Duchamp's Readymades suggested the radical conclusion that 'it is the beholder who makes the picture'. These invitations to viewers to participate in the process of artistic communication had social and political implications, as they accorded artist and beholder symmetrical, almost interchangeable, roles.
