India, Living in an Ornate World explores as to why India is so
rich in colour and ornamentation and why it has such a diversity of
culture and architecture. There is still a large part of the
population who prefer to continue living their traditional life in
old-world settings. Their buildings reflect their long artistic and
creative history. This can be seen in all levels of society. A
modest dwelling in India can give as much an indication of this as
can a palace. The lives of people in streets tend to be lived in
public. The street is the extension of the house. A large part of
this life is carried out on the streets and is often shared with
many different animals due to the Hindu love of them. The
photographs in this book aimed to catch many of these scenes.

For more than thirty-five years, James Welling has explored the
material and conceptual possibilities of photography.
"Diary/Landscape"--the first mature body of work by this important
contemporary artist--set the framework for his subsequent
investigations of abstraction and his fascination with nineteenth-
and twentieth-century New England.
In July 1977, Welling began photographing a two-volume travel
diary kept by his great-grandmother Elizabeth C. Dixon, as well as
landscapes in southern Connecticut. In one closely cropped image,
lines of tight cursive share the page with a single ivy leaf
preserved in the diary. In another snowy image, a stand of leafless
trees occludes the gleaming Long Island sound. In subject and form,
Welling emulated the great American modernists Alfred Stieglitz,
Paul Strand, and Walker Evans--a bold move for an artist associated
with radical postmodernism. At the same time, Welling's close-ups
of handwriting push to the fore the postmodernist themes of copying
and reproduction.
A beautiful and moving meditation on family, history, memory, and
place, "Diary/Landscape" reintroduced history and private emotion
as subjects in high art, while also helping to usher in the
centrality of photography and theoretical questions about
originality that mark the epochal Pictures Generation. The book is
published to accompany the first-ever complete exhibition of this
series of pivotal photographs, now owned by the Art Institute of
Chicago.

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. With this
graduate-level primer, the principles of the standard model of
particle physics receive a particular skillful, personal and
enduring exposition by one of the great contributors to the field.
In 2013 the late Prof. Altarelli wrote: The discovery of the Higgs
boson and the non-observation of new particles or exotic phenomena
have made a big step towards completing the experimental
confirmation of the standard model of fundamental particle
interactions. It is thus a good moment for me to collect, update
and improve my graduate lecture notes on quantum chromodynamics and
the theory of electroweak interactions, with main focus on collider
physics. I hope that these lectures can provide an introduction to
the subject for the interested reader, assumed to be already
familiar with quantum field theory and some basic facts in
elementary particle physics as taught in undergraduate courses.
"These lecture notes are a beautiful example of Guido's unique
pedagogical abilities and scientific vision". From the Foreword by
Gian Giudice

"What treasures of knowledge we cluster around." That This is a
collection in three pieces. "Disappearance Approach," an essay
about Howe's husband's sudden death—"land of darkness or darkness
itself you shadow mouth"—begins the book with paintings by
Poussin, an autopsy, Sarah Edwards and her sister-in-law Hannah,
phantoms, and elusive remnants. "Frolic Architecture," the second
section—inspired by visits to the vast 18th-century Jonathan
Edwards archives at the Beinecke and accompanied by six photograms
by James Welling—presents hauntingly lovely, oblique
type-collages of Hannah Edwards Wetmore's diary entries that Howe
(with scissors, "invisible" Scotch Tape, and a Canon copier) has
twisted, flattened, and snipped into inscapes of force. The final
section, "That This," delivers beautiful short squares of verse
that might look at home in a hymnal, with their orderly appearance
packing startling power: Â Â Â Â Â That
this book is a history of      a
shadow that is a shadow of      Me
mystically one in another
     another another to subserve.
