Arctic Soil Classification and Patterned Ground

Discusses relationships between soils and patterned ground, observed in northern Alaska; and suggests a classification descriptive of both. Such is desirable because of the extent to which frost action and the microrelief of patterned ground influence soil morphology in arctic areas. Specific ground patterns often occur with particular genetic soils. The patterned-ground classification by A.L. Washburn (No. 48863) with minor revisions, could be integrated with that of the soil types

Collision, Collusion and Coincidence: Pop Art’s Fairground Parallel

This article looks at parallel methods, motivations and modes of consumption between formative British pop art and British fairground art. I focus on two strands, the emergent critical work of the Independent Group and the school of artists based at the Royal College of Art under the nominal leadership of Peter Blake. I use iconographical and iconological methods to compare the content of the art, and then examine how pop art tried to create both a critical and playful distancing from established rules and practices of the artistic canon. I focus on non-institutional cultural groupings and diffuse production and consumption models
