The Art of the Sister Chapel
The Sister Chapel (1974-78) was an important collaborative installation that materialized at the height of the women?s art movement. Conceived as a nonhierarchical, secular commemoration of female role models, The Sister Chapel consisted of an eighteen-foot abstract ceiling that hung above a circular arrangement of eleven monumental canvases, each depicting the standing figure of a heroic woman. The choice of subject was left entirely to the creator of each work. As a result, the paintings formed a visually cohesive group without compromising the individuality of the artists. Contemporary and historical women, deities, and conceptual figures were portrayed by distinguished New York painters-...
Oil Panic and the Global Crisis
Is the world running out of oil? This book analyzes predictions of global oil depletion in the context of science, history, and economics. There has been continuing alarm about the imminent exhaustion of earth's non-renewable resources. Yet, the world has never run out of any significant, globally traded, non-renewable resource. Is the world finally facing a non-renewable resource depletion catastrophe, or is the current concern just another one of a succession of panics? In this book, key assumptions and underlying arguments in the global oil-depletion debate are first summarized and then challenged. Facts about oil supply, production, and consumption are made accessible using concise and s...
Shirley Gorelick (1924–2000)
Shirley Gorelick (1924–2000) was an American artist who evolved a distinctive realist technique that allowed her to create penetrating psychological portraiture, often on a large scale. This profusely illustrated book is the first in-depth study of Gorelick’s oeuvre. Her development is traced from the early influences of Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism to her artistic maturity as a painter of compelling realist works. Gorelick’s creative achievements are revisited and illuminated through interviews, artist’s statements, press releases, published reviews, and detailed discussions of her major themes and important works. Shirley Gorelick’s acrylic paintings, silverpoin...
Estimation, Optimization, and Value of Information in Groundwater Remediation
Solving groundwater problems involves a system of methods in characterization and optimization. However, no matter how theoretically sound a method may be, when it is applied in the field, uncertainty is always an important factor that cannot be neglected. Indeed, a good theory or method has to be validated in field applications, and uncertainty propagates from one stage (e.g. characterization) of the application to the next (e.g. remediation optimization). Thus, it is essential for such methods not only to include uncertainty but also to quantify uncertainty in a practical sense. This dissertation covers three important topics in groundwater remediation: site characterization, remediation o...

Chicken Soup for the Soul of America
Most American heroes aren't in our history books, nor do they have monuments erected in their honor. Their names aren't in the headline news or memorialized in song. The true hero is simply someone who makes a difference-large or small-in the lives of others.
