The Minoan Epiphany - A Bronze Age Visionary Culture
The art and iconography of the Minoan civilisation of Bronze Age Crete is rightly described as having a refreshing vitality with a fortunate combination of stylisation and spontaneity in which the artist is able to transform conventional imagery into a personal expression. The dynamism, torsion and naturalism evident in Minoan art stands in stark contrast to the hieratic rigidity of other ancient civilisations, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the iconography of the Minoan Epiphany, a set of mainly glyptic (rings, seals, and seal impression) images which appear to depict religious celebrants experiencing direct and seemingly ecstatic encounters with deities.

Hangman Starman
CW: Suicidal ideation, self-harm, sex/death psychodynamics, but the journey moves from such darkness into radiant, transformative light! “and the glints on waves / are not glints on waves, but... / stars...” In summer 2010, artist and poet Bruce Rimell fell into a self-destructive spiral of suicidal ideation, confused hyperactivity, and dark dreams so unsettling and so persistent that they threatened to tear his life apart.

Brooks Peninsula
Brooks Peninsula, extending into the Pacific from the north-west coast of Vancouver Island, exhibits physical and biological characteristics of a region which may have escaped the last glaciation. This volume is a compilation of papers resulting from a multi-disciplinary research project to collect specimens and data on the human and natural history of this remote, uninhabited, and little-explored area. The objectives of the project were to determine the age of the land surface and describe its environmental history, determine the degree to which the plant and animal populations differ from adjacent glaciated areas, and to document past use of the landscape by people. Topics covered include bedrock and Quaternary geology, soils, plants, vascular plant cytology, paleoecology, terrestrial arthropods, fishes, vertebrates, ethnographic history, archaeology, and the peninsula as an ice age refugium. The final chapter reviews the multi-disciplinary research expedition strategy used to study the Brooks Peninsula.
