Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A richly illustrated reflection on a century of Black queer art and culture featuring seven essays from leading scholars. The word ecstasy derives from the Greek ekstasis, meaning to put out of place. It passed into English through the Old French extasie, which roughly translates as rapturous. Ecstasy, today, can be understood as a form of transcendence, often through an indiscriminate combination of extremes. Arts truest depictions of ecstasy exist in the muddled territory between exaltation and despair. Transcendence highlights visual representations of Black queer ecstasy in a variety of media from the last one hundred years that challenge its absence from the historical record. Centering Blackness and queerness creates the conditions to investigate the potential of queer perspectives around the paradoxes of pleasure and pain, excess and lack, and autonomy and dependence. This catalogue features seven essays by preeminent scholars of Black LGBTQ art and culture, each based on one of the volumes subthemes: Portraiture; Beyond Figuration; Dance and Movement; Spirituality; Sex and Sensuality; Black Queer Futures; and Altered States. Together these themes represent the foundations of queer experiences and offer readers a space to engage with artwork and ephemera that highlight an ecstatically abundant past and advocate for a more inclusive and equitable future.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This Open Access volume aims to methodologically improve our understanding of biodiversity by linking disciplines that incorporate remote sensing, and uniting data and perspectives in the fields of biology, landscape ecology, and geography. The book provides a framework for how biodiversity can be detected and evaluated-focusing particularly on plants-using proximal and remotely sensed hyperspectral data and other tools such as LiDAR. The volume, whose chapters bring together a large cross-section of the biodiversity community engaged in these methods, attempts to establish a common language across disciplines for understanding and implementing remote sensing of biodiversity across scales.The first part of the book offers a potential basis for remote detection of biodiversity. An overview of the nature of biodiversity is described, along with ways for determining traits of plant biodiversity through spectral analyses across spatial scales and linking spectral data to the tree of life. The second part details what can be detected spectrally and remotely. Specific instrumentation and technologies are described, as well as the technical challenges of detection and data synthesis, collection and processing. The third part discusses spatial resolution and integration across scales and ends with a vision for developing a global biodiversity monitoring system. Topics include spectral and functional variation across habitats and biomes, biodiversity variables for global scale assessment, and the prospects and pitfalls in remote sensing of biodiversity at the global scale. 608 pp. Englisch.…
