“No Competing Claims”: The Seizure, Abandonment, and Acquisition of the PATCO records

This article discusses the unorthodox manner in which the Southern Labor Archives, Georgia State University Library, received the records of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization.

THE LIFE AND WORK OF BARBARA NISSMAN

This research paper focuses on the life and work of American concert pianist Barbara Nissman (b. 1944). Her extensive work as a performer, writer, lecturer and guest clinician makes Nissman one of the most accomplished artists of our time. This paper is the first comprehensive look at Nissman’s career and her diverse contributions to piano study and performance as a leading expert on the piano music of Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983), Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953), Béla Bartók (1881-1945), and Franz Liszt (1811-1886). As an overview of Nissman’s life and career, this paper provides both a thorough presentation of Nissman’s contributions and serves as a resource for presenting her work to a wider audience. The paper includes a biography of Nissman, supported by her own personal and professional accounts; separate chapters on the piano music of Alberto Ginastera, Béla Bartók, Franz Liszt and Sergei Prokofiev with Nissman’s remarks on each composer’s compositional language along with study and performance suggestions; a revealing interview with Nissman discussing her professional career, experience working with prominent musicians, and advice for the next generation of pianists; and a detailed list of Nissman’s recordings and publications

Quasiconformal mappings, from Ptolemy's geography to the work of Teichmüller

The origin of quasiconformal mappings, like that of conformal mappings, can be traced back to old cartography where the basic problem was the search for mappings from the sphere onto the plane with minimal deviation from conformality, subject to certain conditions which were made precise. In this paper, we survey the development of cartography, highlighting the main ideas that are related to quasiconformality. Some of these ideas were completely ignored in the previous historical surveys on quasiconformal mappings. We then survey early quasiconformal theory in the works of Grötzsch, Lavrentieff, Ahlfors and Teichmüller, which are the 20th-century founders of the theory
