In his new series, Mitch Epstein investigates the meaning of time by photographing rocks that last millions of years and clouds that evaporate before our eyes. These large-format black-and-white pictures examine society?s complex relationship to nature, a theme Epstein has explored in previous work, including his acclaimed tree pictures (New York Arbor, 2013).0The way the sky and ground can mirror one another intrigued ancient Chinese painters, as well as modern earthwork artists and the Surrealists, all of whom inspired this project. Epstein draws attention to the sculptural quality of New York City?s clouds, bedrock, and architecture?which, at its most elemental, is made from rock. Cloud wedges engulf a cargo ship, buildings recall constructivist paintings, and erratics are imposing elders in the middle of a park or sidewalk. "Rocks and clouds" suggests society?s inability to control time and tame nature. While it seems impossible to make a fresh picture of New York, Epstein gives us a surprising portrait of it.00Exhibition: Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York, USA (11.2016-1.2017), Galerie Thomas Zander, Köln, Germany (1.-3.2017).

This book addresses the history of hydrogeological events in the Dolomite mountains and, more broadly, how our cultural memories of such incidents are shaped. The publication explores how human habitation persists in locations that have established patterns of landslides, floods, and other such possible catastrophes. The work comprises a blend of research and archival images, texts, and recent photographs woven together to address the themes of Destruction, Protection, Experience, and Resilience in areas with centuries-long cycles of human vulnerability in the face of natural disasters. ?Are They Rocks or Clouds? balances information, history and visual pleasure as the reader is asked to confront the risks we take, as humans, in our effort to live comfortably while also pushing the limits of how we interact with the natural world.

Our thoughts are shaped as much by what things make of us as by what we make of them. Lyric poetry is especially concerned with things and their relationship to thought, sense, and understanding. In Romantic Things, Mary Jacobus explores the world of objects and phenomena in nature as expressed in Romantic poetry alongside the theme of sentience and sensory deprivation in literature and art. Jacobus discusses objects and attributes that test our perceptions and preoccupy both Romantic poetry and modern philosophy. John Clare, John Constable, Rainer Maria Rilke, W. G. Sebald, and Gerhard Richter make appearances around the central figure of William Wordsworth as Jacobus explores trees, rocks, clouds, breath, sleep, deafness, and blindness in their work. While she thinks through these things, she is assisted by the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Nancy. Helping us think more deeply about things that are at once visible and invisible, seen and unseen, felt and unfeeling, Romantic Things opens our eyes to what has been previously overlooked in lyric and Romantic poetry.

Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered about the story behind the clouds? Have you marvelled at their formations, their shapes, and their ever-changing nature? Clouds, often seen as transient and ephemeral, hold within them a geological tale that spans millions of years. In this book, we delve into the fascinating world where geology meets meteorology, exploring the intricate relationship between rocks and clouds. From the towering cumulonimbus to the wispy cirrus, each cloud formation is a result of complex processes that begin deep within the Earth's crust. One of the key players in this geological drama is feldspar, a mineral that plays a crucial role in cloud formation. Through the ages, feldspar and other rocks have been weathered and eroded, releasing particles into the atmosphere that serve as nuclei for cloud droplets. These mineral particles, along with other natural and human-made aerosols, influence cloud properties such as size, shape, and lifespan, ultimately impacting weather patterns and climate. As we explore the geology of clouds, we also uncover the broader implications of these processes. Understanding how clouds form and evolve not only enriches our appreciation of the natural world but also deepens our awareness of the intricate interplay between Earth's systems. Top of Form Waves are the rhythmic heartbeat of the oceans and seas, a language spoken by the waters that has captivated human imagination for centuries. From the gentle lapping of wind waves against the shore to the awe-inspiring power of storm surges, each wave tells a story of nature's raw beauty and immense power. In this book, we delve into the world of ocean and sea waves, exploring the different types of waves that grace our planet's vast bodies of water. From the familiar wind waves that dance playfully on the surface to the mysterious rogue waves that lurk beneath, we uncover the secrets of these fascinating phenomena. Through detailed explanations and vivid descriptions, we unravel the science behind waves, examining the forces that shape them and the factors that influence their behaviour. We explore how waves are formed, how they travel across vast distances, and how they interact with the environment around them. But waves are more than just a scientific curiosity; they are a force of nature that has a profound impact on our world. We discuss the role of waves in shaping coastlines, influencing weather patterns, and even driving ocean currents. We also explore the ways in which waves are harnessed for human use, from surfing and sailing to renewable energy generation. As we journey through the world of ocean and sea waves, we invite you to join us in marvelling at the beauty and complexity of these natural wonders. Whether you are a scientist, a sailor, or simply someone with a love for the sea, we hope that this book will deepen your appreciation for the fascinating world of waves. This book is a journey through the skies, guided by the lens of geology. It is an invitation to look beyond the surface of clouds and discover the geological forces that shape our atmosphere. So, join us as we disclose the mysteries of clouds and uncover the hidden stories written in the sky. So come, dive in, and let the waves carry you away on a journey of discovery and wonder.

Rocks, more than anything else, underpin our lives. They make up the solid structure of the Earth and of other rocky planets, and are present at the cores of gas giant planets. We live on the rocky surface of the planet, grow our food on weathered debris derived from rocks, and we obtain nearly all of the raw materials with which we found our civilization from rocks. From the Earth's crust to building bricks, rocks contain our sense of planetary history, and are a guide to our future. In this Very Short Introduction Jan Zalsiewicz looks at the nature and variety of rocks, and the processes by which they are formed. Starting from the origin of rocks and their key role in the formation of the Earth, he considers what we know about the deep rocks of the mantle and core, and what rocks can tell us about the evolution of the Earth, and looks at those found in outer space and on other planets. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
