Vanishing paradise" offers a fresh take on the modernist primitivism of the French painter Paul Gauguin, the exoticism of the American John LaFarge, and the elite tourism of the American writer Henry Adams. Childs explores how these artists wrestled with the elusiveness of paradise and portrayed colonial Tahiti in ways both mythic and modern.

Florida possesses more wetlands than any other state except Alaska, yet since 1990 more than 84,000 acres have been lost to development despite presidential pledges to protect them. How and why the state's wetlands are continuing to disappear is the subject of Paving Paradise. Journalists Craig Pittman and Matthew Waite spent nearly four years investigating the political expedience, corruption, and negligence on the part of federal and state agencies that led to a failure to enforce regulations on developers. They traveled throughout the state, interviewed hundreds of people, dug through thousands of documents, and analyzed satellite imagery to identify former wetlands that were now houses, stores, and parking lots. Exposing the unseen environmental consequences of rampant sprawl, Pittman and Waite explain how wetland protection creates the illusion of environmental protection while doing little to stem the tide of destruction.

An unprecedented exploration of Gauguin's works in various media, from works on paper to clay and furniture Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was a creative force above and beyond his legendary work as a painter. Surveying the full scope of his career-spanning experiments in different media and formats--clay, works on paper, wood, and paint, as well as furniture and decorative friezes--this volume delves into his enduring interest in craft and applied arts, reflecting on their significance to his creative process. Gauguin: Artist as Alchemist draws on extensive new research into the artist's working methods, presenting him as a consummate craftsman--one whose transmutations of the ordinary yielded new and remarkable forms. Beautifully designed and illustrated, this book includes essays by an international team of scholars who offer a rich analysis of Gauguin's oeuvre beyond painting. By embracing other art forms, which offered fewer dominant models to guide his work, Gauguin freed himself from the burden of artistic precedent. In turn, these groundbreaking creative forays, especially in ceramics, gave new direction to his paintings. The authors' insightful emphasis on craftsmanship deepens our understanding of Gauguin's considerable achievements as a painter, draftsman, sculptor, ceramist, and printmaker within the history of modern art.

This is book is about my personal experiences living with the exiled Bikinians on the island of Kili and teaching 6th, 7th and 8th grade English and Math in the Republic of the Marshall Islands from 1987 - 1988. It's something I've been thinking about writing for a long time, but my previously wild and wooly work schedule got in the way of doing pretty much everything but working. I read and re-read multiple letters from my wife, listened and re listened to cassette tapes that we sent back and forth that jogged my memory to more accurately depict the good times and well, some of the less than good times. The story takes you from what led me there in the first place, how the Bikinians ended up on Kili (instead of Bikini...) and some of my many, many, many mishaps. According to Wikipedia, between 1946 and 1958, 23 nuclear devices were detonated by the United States at seven test sites located on the reef, inside the atoll, in the air, or underwater. Prior to the testing, the U.S. moved the Bikinian community to a nearby atoll, Rongerik. They were left alone there for a year and when Dr. Leonard Mason, a U.S. anthropologist went to visit them at the request of the Trust Territory High Commissioner, he found they were literally starving. Dr. Mason was able to convince U.S. authorities to move them from Rongerik to Kwajalein Atoll, giving them time to figure out where to move next. After looking at all of their options, the Bikinians moved to Kili in 1948. Kili is a single island and nothing like Bikini. That's the shortest of short stories of how the Bikinians ended up on Kili, and while there is a bit of history woven into the book, this is primarily my story. I hope you enjoy it.
