Prehistoric life is the archive of evolution preserved in the fossil record.  This book focuses on the meaning and significance of that archive and is... designed for introductory college science students, including non-science majors, enrolled in survey courses emphasizing paleontology, geology and biology.From the origins of animals to the evolution of rap music, from ancient mass extinctions to the current biodiversity crisis, and from the Snowball Earth to present day climate change this book covers it, with an eye towards showing how past life on Earth puts the modern world into its proper context. The history of life and the patterns and processes of evolution are especially emphasized, as are the interconnections between our planet, its climate system, and its varied life forms. The book does not just describe the history of life, but uses actual examples from life’s history to illustrate important concepts and theories.

This fascinating and elegant book tells the story of five painters at the center of events in Revolutionary France: Jacques-Louis David and his first... cohort of precocious pupils, including the meteoric Jean-Germain Drouais and the astonishingly gifted but deeply troubled Anne-Louis Girodet. Written by a major art historian, it interprets in a new and original way the relationships between these men and the paintings they created. This new edition includes a revised introduction and incorporates the fruit of recent new research.“Crow combines excellent formal and stylistic analysis of particular paintings with close attention to the psychological complexities and political and social contexts of the artists’ lives. He delves deeply into David’s and his students’ thematic choices, compositional strategies and personal relations in order to make his overarching political and aesthetic arguments.”—Lynn Hunt, New Republic“A magisterial contribution to the history of art.”—Richard Cobb, The Spectator

The most recent high-profile advocate for Americans with disabilities, actor Christopher Reeve, has highlighted for the public the economic and social... costs of disability and the importance of rehabilitation. "Enabling America" is a major analysis of the field of rehabilitation science and engineering. The book explains how to achieve recognition for this evolving field of study, how to set priorities, and how to improve the organization and administration of the numerous federal research programs in this area. The committee introduces the 'enabling-disability process' model, which enhances the concepts of disability and rehabilitation, and reviews what is known and what research priorities are emerging in the areas of: pathology and impairment, including differences between children and adults.Functional limitations - in a person's ability to eat or walk, for example. Disability as the interaction between a person's pathologies, impairments, and functional limitations and the surrounding physical and social environments. This landmark volume will be of special interest to anyone involved in rehabilitation science and engineering: federal policymakers, rehabilitation practitioners and administrators, researchers, and advocates for persons with disabilities.

In the summer of 2008, nearly fifty thousand people traveled to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to participate in the countercultural arts event Burning... Man. Founded on a commitment to expression and community, the annual weeklong festival presents unique challenges to its organizers. Over four years Katherine K. Chen regularly participated in organizing efforts to safely and successfully create a temporary community in the middle of the desert under the hot August sun. Enabling Creative Chaos tracks how a small, underfunded group of organizers transformed into an unconventional corporation with a ten-million-dollar budget and two thousand volunteers. Over the years, Burning Man’s organizers have experimented with different management models; learned how to recruit, motivate, and retain volunteers; and developed strategies to handle regulatory agencies and respond to media coverage. This remarkable evolution, Chen reveals, offers important lessons for managers in any organization, particularly in uncertain times.

Enacting History is a collection of new essays exploring the world of historical performances. The volume focuses on performances outside the... traditional sphere of theatre, among them living history museums, battle reenactments, pageants, renaissance festivals, and adventure-tourism destinations. This volume argues that the recent surge in such performances have raised significant questions about the need for, interest in, and value of such nontraditional theater. Many of these performances claim a greater or lesser degree of historical "accuracy" or "authenticity," and the authors tease out the representational and historiographic issues related to these arguments. How, for instance, are issues of race, ethnicity, and gender dealt with at museums that purport to be accurate windows into the past? How are politics and labor issues handled in local- or state-funded institutions that rely on volunteer performers? How do tourists' expectations shape the choices made by would-be purveyors of the past? Where do matters of taste or censorship enter in when reconciling the archival evidence with a family-friendly mission? Essays in the collection address, among other subjects, reenactments of period cookery and cuisine at a Maryland renaissance festival; the roles of women as represented at Minnesota's premiere living history museum, Historic Fort Snelling; and the Lewis and Clark bicentennial play as cultural commemoration. The editors argue that historical performances like these-regardless of their truth-telling claims-are an important means to communicate, document, and even shape history, and allow for a level of participation and accessibility that is unique to performance. Enacting History is an entertaining and informative account of the public's fascination with acting out and watching history and of the diverse methods of fulfilling this need.

The artists Adrian Piper, Eleanor Antin, Anna Deavere Smith, and Nikki S. Lee have all crossed racial, ethnic, gender, and class boundaries in works... that they have conceived and performed. Cherise Smith analyzes their complex engagements with issues of identity through close readings of a significant performance, or series of performances, by each artist. She examines Piper’s public embodiment of the Mythic Being, a working-class black man, during the early 1970s; Antin’s full-time existence as the fictitious black ballerina Eleanora Antinova for several weeks in 1981; and Smith’s shifting among more than twenty characters of different ages and racial, ethnic, gender, and class backgrounds in Twilight: Los Angeles. She also considers Lee’s performances of membership in cultural groups—including swing dancers, hip-hop devotees, skateboarders, drag queens, and yuppies—in her Projects series (1997–2001). The author historicizes the politics of identity by exploring each performance in relation to the discourses prevalent in the United States at the time of its development. She is attentive to how the artists manipulated clothing, mannerisms, voice, and other signs to negotiate their assumed identities. Cherise Smith argues that by drawing on conventions such as passing, blackface, minstrelsy, cross-dressing, and drag, they highlighted the constructedness and fluidity of identity and identifications. Enacting Others provides a provocative account of how race informs contemporary art and feminist performance practices.

Vous me demandez mes idées sur En attendant Godot, dont vous me faites l''honneur de donner des extraits au Club d''essai, et en même temps mes idées... sur le théâtre.Je n''ai pas d''idées sur le théâtre. Je n''y connais rien. Je n''y vais pas. C''est admissible.Ce qui l''est sans doute moins, c''est d''abord, dans ces conditions, d''écrire une pièce, et ensuite, l''ayant fait, de ne pas avoir d''idées sur elle non plus.C''est malheureusement mon cas.Il n''est pas donné à tous de pouvoir passer du monde qui s''ouvre sous la page à celui des profits et pertes, et retour, imperturbable, comme entre le turbin et le Café du Commerce.Je ne sais pas plus sur cette pièce que celui qui arrive à la lire avec attention.Je ne sais pas dans quel esprit je l''ai écrite.Je ne sais pas plus sur les personnages que ce qu''ils disent, ce qu''ils font et ce qui leur arrive. De leur aspect j''ai dû indiquer le peu que j''ai pu entrevoir. Les chapeaux melon par exemple.Je ne sais pas qui est Godot. Je ne sais même pas, surtout pas, s''il existe. Et je ne sais pas s''ils y croient ou non, les deux qui l''attendent.Les deux autres qui passent vers la fin de chacun des deux actes, ça doit être pour rompre la monotonie.Tout ce que j''ai pu savoir, je l''ai montré. Ce n''est pas beaucoup. Mais ça me suffit, et largement. Je dirai même que je me serais contenté de moins.Quant à vouloir trouver à tout cela un sens plus large et plus élevé, à emporter après le spectacle, avec le programme et les esquimaux, je suis incapable d''en voir l''intérêt. Mais ce doit être possible.Je n''y suis plus et je n''y serai plus jamais. Estragon, Vladimir, Pozzo, Lucky, leur temps et leur espace, je n''ai pu les connaître un peu que très loin du besoin de comprendre. Ils vous doivent des comptes peut-être. Qu''ils se débrouillent. Sans moi. Eux et moi nous sommes quittes.Samuel Beckett, Lettre à Michel Polac, janvier 1952

Divin troupeau, qui sur les rives molles Du fleuve Eurote, ou sur le mont natal, Ou sur le bord du chevalin crystal, Assis, tenez vos plus sainctes... escolles : Si quelque foys aux saultz de vos carolles M'avez receu par ung astre fatal, Plus dur qu'en fer, qu'en cuyvre ou qu'en metal, Dans vostre temple engravez ces paroles : Ronsard, affin que le siecle a venir, De pere en filz se puisse souvenir, D'une beauté qui sagement affolé, De la main dextre append a nostre autel, L'humble discours de son livre immortel, Son cuoeur de l'autre, aux piedz de ceste idole.
