Art and climate change / by Fowkes, Maja,author.; Fowkes, Reuben,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A timely introduction to the fields of environmental art, art and ecology, art and climate change, art and activism, and art in the Anthropocene. Global awareness of climate change is increasing, and the scientific evidence is incontrovertible: an environmental crisis is upon us. Art and Climate Change presents an overview of ecologically conscious contemporary art that addresses the climate emergency, as artists across the world call for an active, collective engagement with the planet, and illuminate some of the structures that threaten humanity's survival. Across five chapters, curators Maja and Reuben Fowkes examine artworks that respond to the Anthropocene and its detrimental impact on our world, from scenes of nature decimated by ongoing extinction events and landscapes turned to waste by extraction, to art from marginalized communities most affected by the injustice of climate change. What guides the artists gathered here is an ardent concern for the living, breathing subject of the Earth and all fellow terrestrials caught up in this fast-moving climate drama"--Publisher's description.

Tracking lions, myth, and wilderness in Samburu / by Turk, Jonathan,author.(CARDINAL)334372;
While tracking a lion with a Samburu headman, Jon Turk experiences people at their best and worst. Jon reveals how the stories we tell each other, and the stories spinning in our heads, can be moulded into innovation, love and co-operation - or harnessed to launch armies. Set in a high-adventure narrative on the unforgiving savannah, Turk explores the aboriginal wisdoms that endowed our Stone Age ancestors with the power to survive - and how, since then, myth, art, music, dance, and ceremony have often been hijacked and distorted within our urban, scientific, oil-soaked world.

Pearls : a natural history / by Landman, Neil H.(CARDINAL)331450; American Museum of Natural History.(CARDINAL)138269; Field Museum of Natural History.(CARDINAL)143061;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-222).Foreword -- Introduction -- Columbus's pearls -- Natural beginnings : pearl mollusks -- The mechanism of luster : physical, chemical, and optical properties of pearls -- Pearls in human history : the European tradition -- Pearls in human history : the non-European tradition -- Getting pearls : the history of harvesting natural pearls -- Making pearls : the methods of perliculture -- Saving pearls : the ecology of pearl-producing mollusks."Pearls are unique among gemstones. Complete as they are found, they require no faceting or shaping to bring out their beauty and luster. Perhaps because of their origin and radiance, pearls have fascinated people from the time they were first found in artifacts in Mesopotamia (c. 2300 B.C.E.), until the present. Rich with new color photography and archival images, Pearls: A Natural History chronicles this enduring obsession. Based on an exhibition mounted by the American Museum of Natural History in New York and The Field Museum in Chicago, Pearls combines science, history, and beautiful objects both natural and crafted. The authors draw on their varied disciplines to explore all aspects of pearls - biology, gemology, anthropology, mineralogy, ecology, and the decorative arts."--Jacket.
