In the Shadow of the Sun : Perspectives on Contemporary Native Art

Following an introduction to the international exhibition that was the occasion for this publication, 20 essays investigate the "fourth world" of overrun indigenous peoples and 19th-century Indian/White relations, and proceed to examine Northwest Coast Native and Inuit art. Northwest Coast art and culture are surveyed from 1880 to the present and are discussed with reference to politics, economy, and society, modernism and postmodernism, and the "renaissance" of the art of the Coast. Inuit culture from 1800 to 1988 is examined in like manner, including discussions of sculpture, textiles, and prints, aesthetics, and interviews with artists. Circa 450 bibl. ref

ILC Reference Design Report Volume 1 - Executive Summary

The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a 200-500 GeV center-of-mass high-luminosity linear electron-positron collider, based on 1.3 GHz superconducting radio-frequency (SCRF) accelerating cavities. The ILC has a total footprint of about 31 km and is designed for a peak luminosity of 2x10^34 cm^-2s^-1. This report is the Executive Summary (Volume I) of the four volume Reference Design Report. It gives an overview of the physics at the ILC, the accelerator design and value estimate, the detector concepts, and the next steps towards project realization.The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a 200-500 GeV center-of-mass high-luminosity linear electron-positron collider, based on 1.3 GHz superconducting radio-frequency (SCRF) accelerating cavities.
