Trains: A Photographer's Journey
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Outerbridge, Graeme, PUBLISHER: ABRAMS, The powerful red electric engines of the Glacier Express easily climb the snow-covered Swiss Alps. Ancient steam engines of the Guayaquil & Quito Railway labor up the slopes of the Andes in Ecuador. Luxurious passenger carriages from another era amble across the great western desert of China at dusk. On the other side of the globe, the engineer of a sleek Amtrak engine waves a casual good-bye out the window of his massive machine as it leaves the station. Trains is a photographic journey to the world of railroads. For five years, photographer Graeme Outerbridge traveled the globe by rail photographing everything that caught his eye -- hulking engines, stations both lonely and bustling, dark tunnels, high-speed expresses, railroad workers, signs, signals, and the landscapes that the trains traversed. His images reveal the universal language of forms and colors that trains have created, and are as evocative as a lonesome whistle in the night.
Society in Space: Colonialism, Nationalism and Post-Colonial
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Perera, Nihal, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, "Society and Space" traces the historical construction of social space in Sri Lanka. Utilizing a world-systems perspective, landscape interpretation, and theories of colonial architecture and urbanism, Nihal Perera looks at colonized, decolonized, and postcolonial Sri Lanka through the lens of successive spatial transformations. The author skillfully reveals the importance of construction, occupation, and the fashioning of territories, urban landscapes, and built forms, pointing out the interconnections and meanings of these spatial aspects as part of changing political, economic, and cultural systems.This book treats space and the built environment of Sri Lanka's place in the world system at different points in history. Yet, it also maintains an awareness of specific issues of local politics and culture. Writing from a position in the "postcolonial periphery," Perera argues that the politics governing the construction of space and spatial structures is of primary importance for those seeking to understand a particular society and culture.
Confronting Scale in Archaeology: Issues of Theory and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lock, Gary / Molyneaux, Brian Leigh, PUBLISHER: Springer, Without realizing, most archaeologists shift within a scale of interpretation of material culture. Material data is interpreted from the scale of an individual in a specific place and time and then shifts to the complex dynamics of cultural groups extending over time and space. This ignoring of scale is the a oeconcessiona archaeologists make to interpretation. The introduction of geographical information systems (GIS) remote sensing, and virtual reality have expanded the scale at which data is interpreted even more, using multiple scales at the same time without recognizing the significance of their actions. This book discusses the cultural, social and spatial aspects of scale and its impact on archaeology in practical and applicable cases. Each author takes one of the fundamental elements of archaeology - from the experience of time and space to the visualization of individuals, sites and landscapes to the intricacies of archaeological discourse - and shows how an awareness of scale can create new and exciting interpretations.

Max Ernst and Alchemy: A Magician in Search of Myth
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Warlick, M. E. / Rosemont, Franklin, PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, Surrealist artist Max Ernst defined collage as the "alchemy of the visual image." Students of his work have often dismissed this comment as simply a metaphor for the transformative power of using found images in a new context. Taking a wholly different perspective on Ernst and alchemy, however, M. E. Warlick persuasively demonstrates that the artist had a profound and abiding interest in alchemical philosophy and often used alchemical symbolism in works created throughout his career. A revival of interest in alchemy swept the artistic, psychoanalytic, historical, and scientific circles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and Warlick sets Ernst's work squarely within this movement. Looking at both his art (many of the works she discusses are reproduced in the book) and his writings, she reveals how thoroughly alchemical philosophy and symbolism pervade his early Dadaist experiments, his foundational work in surrealism, and his many collages and paintings of women and landscapes, whose images exemplify the alchemical fusing of opposites. This pioneering research adds an essential key to understanding the multilayered complexity of Ernst's works, as it affirms his standing as one of Germany's most significant artists of the twentieth century.
Wild Solutions: How Biodiversity Is Money in the Bank
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Beattie, Andrew J. / Ehrlich, Paul R. / Turnbull, Christine, PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, We live on an unexplored planet, ignorant of more than eighty percent of the species that share our world. In this fascinating and abundantly illustrated book, two eminent ecologists discuss the biological diversity of the Earth, showing how the natural systems that surround us play an essential role in protecting our basic life-support systems. Andrew Beattie and Paul Ehrlich tell us about the millions of species providing ecosystem services that maintain the quality of our air and water and the fertility of the soil, dispose of domestic, industrial, and agricultural waste, and protect crops from pests. The authors also describe how biological diversity opens the way for new medicines, pharmaceuticals, construction materials and designs, and manufactured goods. They point to innovative industries that harness species for the biological repair of damaged landscapes, biological mining, biological pest control, and biomonitoring of the environment. The organisms upon which these activities are founded -- although often microscopic, obscure, or bizarre -- provide natural capital that is worth infinitely more than anyone has previously guessed. The authors urge us to protect the biological wealth of our Earth and keep it from being destroyed by human activity.
Cadogan Guide Tuscany, Umbria & the Marches
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Facaros, Dana / Pauls, Michael, PUBLISHER: Cadogan Guides, Vacationers have traveled to Tuscany and Umbria for centuries, and visitor figures continue to rise. In this newly revised edition of a Cadogan classic, Italy experts Facaros and Pauls uncover Tuscany's lavish natural beauty and some of the most enchanting landscapes in Europe. The three regions' combination of sheer beauty, wealth, and dastardly doings fired some of the greatest art and literature in the West, by the likes of Dante, Leonardo, Botticelli, and a hundred more. The guide discovers Tuscany, delving into the dense concentration of art that spills out of Florence into Pisa, Lucca, and Arezzo; absorbing the energy of Siena's frenzied Palio; and taking in the sumptuous vineyards of Chianti. It explores the medieval hill towns of green Umbria--historic Perugia over the Tiber Valley, the newly restored monuments and architecture of Assisi, and the famous cathedral of Orvieto. Finally, the unspoiled landscape of the civilized Marches is covered. The region is fast gaining popularity as an alternative to Tuscany and Umbria; unlike other guides, Cadogan explores its bustling, sparkly seaside resort of Rimini. Cadogan not only brings this well-known and popular part of Italy to life, but also puts a new slant on the Leaning Tower and digs up some surprising secret gardens along the way.
The Community Forests of Mexico: Managing for Sustainable
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bray, David Barton / Merino-Perez, Leticia / Barry, Deborah, PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, Mexico leads the world in community management of forests for the commercial production of timber. Yet this success story is not widely known, even in Mexico, despite the fact that communities around the globe are increasingly involved in managing their own forest resources. To assess the achievements and shortcomings of Mexico's community forest management programs and to offer approaches that can be applied in other parts of the world, this book collects fourteen articles that explore community forest management from historical, policy, economic, ecological, sociological, and political perspectives. The contributors to this book are established researchers in the field, as well as many of the important actors in Mexico's nongovernmental organization sector. Some articles are case studies of community forest management programs in the states of Michoacan, Oaxaca, Durango, Quintana Roo, and Guerrero. Others provide broader historical and contemporary overviews of various aspects of community forest management. As a whole, this volume clearly establishes that the community forest sector in Mexico is large, diverse, and has achieved unusual maturity in doing what communities in the rest of the world are only beginning to explore: how to balance community income with forest conservation. In this process, Mexican communities are also managing for sustainable landscapes and livelihoods.
The Evolving Landscape: Homer Aschmann's Geography
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Aschmann, Homer / Pasqualetti, Martin J. / Jackson, J. B., PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, "Aschmann was a keen and impassioned observer of the impacts of modern societies on the natural world." -- Karl Butzer, Dickson Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts, University of Kansas, Austin In The Evolving Landscape Martin J. Pasqualetti brings together for the first time the collected writings of one of twentieth-century America's master geographers, Homer Aschmann. Combining encyclopedic knowledge with unquenchable curiosity, Aschmann radiates an obvious affection for being outdoors as he guides us across landscapes to discern the interplay of climate, history, topography, soils, and vegetation. In settings as diverse as Los Angeles, Baja California, Arizona, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, and the Canary Islands, Aschmann demonstrates the contribution a geographer can make in explaining environmental change. "Aschmann was a master of the geographical art." -- William M. Denevan, Carl O. Sauer Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin, Madison "Serious students of the landscape will be startled by how relevant and contemporary these seminal essays remain." -- Richard Francaviglia, Director, Center for Greater Southwestern Studies and the History of Cartography, University of Texas at Arlington "Aschmann's broad perspectives are a fast disappearing form of Geography which we lose at our science's peril." -- Carl L. Johannessen, Professor of Geography, University of Oregon
Mrs. Dalloway
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Woolf, Virginia / Howard, Maureen, PUBLISHER: Harvest Books, This brilliant novel explores the hidden springs of thought and action in one day of a woman's life. Direct and vivid in her account of the details of Clarissa Dalloway's preparations for a party she is to give that evening, Woolf ultimately managed to reveal much more. For it is the feeling behind these daily events that gives Mrs. Dalloway its texture and richness and makes it so memorable. Foreword by Maureen Howard. "Mrs. Dalloway was the first novel to split the atom. If the novel before Mrs. Dalloway aspired to immensities of scope and scale, to heroic journeys across vast landscapes, with Mrs. Dalloway Virginia Woolf insisted that it could also locate the enormous within the everyday; that a life of errands and party-giving was every bit as viable a subject as any life lived anywhere; and that should any human act in any novel seem unimportant, it has merely been inadequately observed. The novel as an art form has not been the same since. "Mrs. Dalloway also contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it. It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century." --Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours
Storyville, USA
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Peterson, Dale, PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, What is a Storyville? Whether you're in Toast, North Carolina, Monkeys Eyebrow, Kentucky, or Winner, South Dakota, a Storyville is a real town you can find on a map, with a tale behind its quirky name. Covering miles of U.S. roads, Dale Peterson drove with his kids, Britt and Bayne, from Start, Louisiana, to Deadhorse, Alaska, in search of small-town America in the "garage sale of the open highway." Along the way they explored open spaces, wild places, and country back roads and met people who weren't afraid to talk to one another. Together, they discover the sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and zany stories behind nearly sixty small towns, guided by a AAA Road Atlas, expert local storytellers, and lots of curiosity. They dip into Caddo Lake and the everglades of Uncertain, Texas, go a little crazy in Loco, Oklahoma, and learn about bee colonies in Climax, New York. Conversations with townfolk range from the refrigerator at the center of Noodle, Texas, and the hazards of Accident, Maryland, to issues of civil rights, religion, and environmental preservation. Collected here are the landscapes, landmarks, faces, thoughts, and conversations of a sentimental, idiosyncratic, and often hilarious American odyssey. Storyville, USA is a long winding trip into the back roads of the country and a longer one into the hinterland of our own hearts.
Trespass: Living at the Edge of the Promised Land
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Irvine, Amy, PUBLISHER: North Point Press, Trespass is the story of one woman's struggle to gain footing in inhospitable territory. A wilderness activist and apostate Mormon, Amy Irvine sought respite in the desert outback of southern Utah's red-rock country after her father's suicide, only to find out just how much of an interloper she was among her own people. But more than simply an exploration of personal loss, Trespass is an elegy for a dying world, for the ruin of one of our most beloved and unique desert landscapes and for our vanishing connection to it. Fearing what her father's fate might somehow portend for her, Irvine retreated into the remote recesses of the Colorado Plateau--home not only to the world's most renowned national parks but also to a rugged brand of cowboy Mormonism that stands in defiant contrast to the world at large. Her story is one of ruin and restoration, of learning to live among people who fear the wilderness the way they fear the devil and how that fear fuels an antagonism toward environmental concerns that pervades the region. At the same time, Irvine mourns her own loss of wildness and disconnection from spirituality, while ultimately discovering that the provinces of nature and faith are not as distinct as she once might have believed.

Natural Experiments: Ecosystem-Based Management and the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Layzer, Judith A., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Scholars, scientists, and policymakers have hailed ecosystem-based management (EBM) as a remedy for the perceived shortcomings of the centralized, top-down, expert-driven environmental regulatory framework established in the United States in the late s and early s. EBM entails collaborative, landscape-scale planning and flexible, adaptive implementation. But although scholars have analyzed aspects of EBM for more than a decade, until now there has been no systematic empirical study of the overall approach. In "Natural Experiments, " Judith Layzer provides a detailed assessment of whether EBM delivers in practice the environmental benefits it promises in theory. She does this by examining four nationally known EBM initiatives (the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Program in Austin, Texas, the San Diego Multiple Species Program, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, and the California Bay-Delta Program) and three comparison cases that used more conventional regulatory approaches (Arizona's Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan and efforts to restore Florida's Kissimmee River and California's Mono Basin). Layzer concludes that projects that set goals based on stakeholder collaboration, rather than through conventional politics, are less likely to result in environmental improvement, largely because the pursuit of consensus drives planners to avoid controversy and minimize short-term costs. Layzer's resolutely practical focus cuts through the ideological and theoretical arguments for and against EBM to identify strategies that hold genuine promise for restoring the ecological resilience of our landscapes.
