During the past decade, high-performance computer graphics have
found application in an exciting and expanding range of new
domains. Among the most dramatic developments has been the
incorporation of real-time interactive manipulation and display for
human figures. Though actively pursued by several research groups,
the problem of providing a synthetic or surrogate human for
engineers and designers already familiar with computer-aided design
techniques was most comprehensively solved by Norman Badler's
Computer Graphics Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania. The
breadth of that effort as well as the details of its methodology
and software environment are presented in this volume. The book is
intended for human factors engineers interested in understanding
how a computer-graphics surrogate human can augment their analyses
of designed environments. It will also inform design engineers of
the state of the art in human figure modeling, and hence of the
human-centered design central to the emergent concept of concurrent
engineering. In fulfilling these goals, the book additionally
documents for the entire computer graphics community a major
research effort in the interactive control of articulated human
figures.
This exciting new investigation explores the rich variety of indigenous arts in the US and Canada from the early pre-contact period to the present day. It shows the importance of the visual arts in maintaining the integrity of spiritual, social, political, and economic systems within Native North American societies and examines such issues as gender, representation, the colonial encounter, and contemporary arts. Basketry, wood and rock carvings, dance masks, and beadwork, are discussed alongside the paintings and installations of modern artists such as Robert Davidson, Emmi Whitehorse, and Alex Janvier.
If the marine fishing industry is to survive into the future,
innovative approaches are necessary. Recognising that market
incentives have the potential to improve fisheries management, the
Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has been established to harness
these incentives. The work of the MSC translates through from
sustainable fishery management certification, to labelling of fish
and sea food products, allowing consumers to use their choice and
buying power to select eco-labelled products from MSC certified
fisheries.
This exciting new book covers all aspects of the new
eco-labelling initiative developed under the sponsorship of the
MSC. Contents include details of the MSC and its certification
framework and implementation, dispute resolution, chain-of-custody
assessment and community fisheries certification. Also included are
important case studies of the MSC certified fisheries of
Australia's western rock lobster, Alaska salmon, Thames herring and
New Zealand hoki.
"Eco-Labelling in Fisheries" is an essential purchase for all
those involved in marine fisheries management throughout the world.
Professionals and students in fisheries science, marine biology,
ecology, conservation and environmental biology will find this book
to be extremely valuable. Libraries in all universities and
research establishments where these subjects are studied and taught
should have multiple copies of this book on their shelves.
Mapping Modernisms brings together scholars working around the
world to address the modern arts produced by indigenous and
colonized artists. Expanding the contours of modernity and its
visual products, the contributors illustrate how these artists
engaged with ideas of Primitivism through visual forms and
philosophical ideas. Although often overlooked in the literature on
global modernisms, artists, artworks, and art patrons moved within
and across national and imperial borders, carrying, appropriating,
or translating objects, images, and ideas. These itineraries made
up the dense networks of modern life, contributing to the crafting
of modern subjectivities and of local, transnationally inflected
modernisms. Addressing the silence on indigeneity in established
narratives of modernism, the contributors decenter art history's
traditional Western orientation and prompt a re-evaluation of
canonical understandings of twentieth-century art history. Mapping
Modernisms is the first book in Modernist Exchanges, a multivolume
project dedicated to rewriting the history of modernism and
modernist art to include artists, theorists, art forms, and
movements from around the world. Contributors. Bill Anthes, Peter

The basis of this discipline must consist in accustoming your
negroes to an absolute submission to orders; for if you suffer them
to disobey in one instance, they will do so in another; and thus an
independence of spirit will be acquired, that will demand repeated
punishment to suppress it, and to re-establish your relaxed
authority. You should, therefore, lay it down as a rule, never to
suffer your commands to be disputed; and, at the same time, you
should take care to give none but what are reasonable and proper;
for negroes are penetrating enough into the foibles of their
masters. If you have any, you should conceal them with a good
opinion of your temper and judgment. -from I: "Plantation
Management" American historian ULRICH BONNELL PHILLIPS (1877-1934)
made a career of studying slavery and the economics of the American
South through the 19th century, and he was often criticized by his
successors for his emphasis on painting slave masters and
plantation owners in a positive light. But even Phillips'
detractors acknowledge the valuable work he did in bringing to
light the priceless original source material from which we can
better understand the period. In this two-volume work, first
published in 1909, Phillips creates a portrait of the economic life
of the South drawn from the details and minutiae found in legal
contracts, personal letters and diaries, newspaper articles and
editorials, advertisements, plantation records, court records,
warrants and affidavits, public notices, city ordinances, and other
hard-to-find documents. From the everyday realities of the usage of
slave labor to the working conditions of poor whites to the daily
routines and management of plantations, what emerges is a unique,
on-the-ground perspective of the slaveholding era. Excepts from the
table of contents of Volume I: "Records of a rice plantation"
"Management of scattered plantations; Georgia 1844-1849" "Diary of
work on a sea-island cotton plantation" "Upland cotton methods"
"Uncertainty of returns in tobacco" "Loses by disease and accidents
among the slaves" "Bad seasons and slave runaways" "An overseer's
testimonial" "The routine problems and policies of an efficient
overseer" "Classes and conditions of white servants" "Indented

Sexuality in modern western culture is central to identity but the
tendency to define by sexuality does not apply to the premodern
past. Before the 'invention' of sexuality, erotic acts and desires
were comprehended as species of sin, expressions of idealised love,
courtship, and marriage, or components of intimacies between men or
women, not as outworkings of an innermost self. With a focus on c.
1100 c. 1800, this book explores the shifting meanings, languages,
and practices of western sex. It is the first study to combine the
medieval and early modern to rethink this time of sex before
sexuality, where same-sex and opposite-sex desire and eroticism
bore but faint traces of what moderns came to call heterosexuality,
homosexuality, lesbianism, and pornography. This volume aims to
contribute to contemporary historical theory through paying
attention to the particularity of premodern sexual cultures.
Phillips and Reay argue that students of premodern sex will be
blocked in their understanding if they use terms and concepts
applicable to sexuality since the late nineteenth century, and
modern commentators will never know their subject without a deeper
comprehension of sex's history.
