Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
From sculptors to worshippers, patrons to vandals, an era-spanning, globe-trotting exploration of our complex relationship with statues.
Iconoclasm is in the air. Bitter debates rage on social media, in the press and on the streets over the proper fate of statues commemorating controversial figures, whether slave traders, imperialists or Confederate generals. It is an important question—but it cannot truly be answered if we look exclusively at this final, shameful chapter in a monument’s life.
Paul Brummell argues that statues can only be understood by exploring their changing roles throughout an entire, often complex, lifetime. Why do sponsors and sculptors choose to create figurative representations of human subjects? Does the way individuals interact with icons change their significance? What is the impact of the passing of time, as durable images outlive the worldviews of their originators, becoming relics of past regimes? Why do some people believe that rubbing intimate bronze body parts can bring luck? Can statues move, talk—or even kill? And what should we really do with those statues we no longer want?
From a colossal golden Buddha in China to a centrally heated Swedish actress, Brummell tells the vibrant story of the world’s most intriguing public monuments, from ancient times to the present.

Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
