Duke University Museum of Art,U.S. The Past is Present
Book SynopsisIn 2006, the collection of 224 antiquities assembled by Walter Kempner, M.D. was donated to the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University by Barbara Newborg, M.D. Ranging from the 3rd millennium to the 3rd century B.C.E., the collection includes Mediterranean antiquities such as Cycladic marble artifacts; Greek ceramics attributed to significant Athenian painters, including the Kleophrades Painter, the Athenian Painter, and the Matsch Painter; and carved amber likely from an Etruscan workshop. In The Past Is Present, scholars and Duke University students present the collection, including many objects that have never been published before, and discuss its significance for art history, classics, museum studies, and archaeology. The introductory essay by Kimerly Rorschach, Director of the Nasher Museum, discusses the gift in the context of current issues surrounding the acquisition of antiquities and the aims of university museums.

Prickly Paradigm Press, LLC Manwith Variations Interviews with Franz Boas
Book SynopsisThe most interesting human beings, so far as talk is concerned, are anthropologists, farmers, prostitutes, psychiatrists, and the occasional bartender. So wrote Joseph Mitchell, the legendary New Yorker journalist and chronicler of the full spectrum of humanity in New York City from the 1930s to the '60s, when his last columns were published. The critic Malcolm Cowley called Mitchell the best reporter in the country, while Stanley Edgar Hyman would later write that he was a reporter only in the sense that Defoe is a reporter, a humorist only in the sense that Faulkner is a humorist. But, before he found fame, Mitchell worked as a beat reporter with an unusually keen sense of style and uncommonly graceful prose at the now-defunct World-Telegram. There, he wrote a series of articles on the anthropologist Franz Boas, who influenced his trenchant observations of humanity.Man with Variations republishes Mitchell's writings on Boas, which weave together interviews with the great anthropologi

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Culture and Dignity
Book SynopsisIn Culture and Dignity - Dialogues between the Middle East and the West, renowned cultural anthropologist Laura Nader examines the historical and ethnographic roots of the complex relationship between the East and the West, revealing how cultural differences can lead to violence or a more peaceful co-existence. Outlines an anthropology for the 21st century that focuses on the myriad connections between peoplesespecially the critical intercultural dialogues between the cultures of the East and the West Takes an historical and ethnographic approach to studying the intermingling of Arab peoples and the West. Demonstrates how cultural exchange between the East and West is a two-way process Presents an anthropological perspective on issues such as religious fundamentalism, the lives of women and children, notions of violence and order Trade Review“This kind of work needs more deliberation in the academic world and it is a delight for practitioners who are interested in radicalising the discipline and practice of anthropology. Since the book eschews technical language of the specialist, it is equally accessible to the nonspecialist reader.” (Journal of Intercultural Studies, 1 January 2015) “The book is written in an engaging and highly accessible manner. Although it would have benefited from a deeper differentiated discussion of ‘cultural dignity’ and what it means in this world that Nader paints, Culture and dignity is a thought-provoking exercise in the kind of connections we need to make for an anthropology committed to a more honest and robust knowledge of the Middle East and the world.” (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 1 January 2014) “Drawing from an eclectic sample of literature dealing with the global connections between the Middle East and the West, the author achieves a much needed – and very timely – intellectual ‘check-up’ and warns us against cultural framings that serve to side-line serious explorations of the roots and nature of human suffering. It is crucial for all those of us who are genuinely concerned with peace to liberate our imaginations from the myths and stereotypes that work to divide us.” (Studies in Ethnicity And Nationalism, 15 October 2013) “The collection reflects the many lasting contributions Nader has made to understanding and improving the human condition.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Late Ordovician Brachiopods from WestCentral
Book SynopsisA Late Ordovician silicified brachiopod fauna from the White Mountain area, west-central Alaska is described and interpreted in a palaeoecological and biogeographical context. This area is situated within the Nixon Fork Subterrane of the Farewell Terrane, which origin and timing of final docking with Laurentia has been much debated. The current study adds new faunal data to the debate with nearly 100 species described, of these at least nine are new. The fauna is predominantly a deep-water autochthonous fauna that was mixed with an allochthonous fauna as a result of down-slope movement of turbidity currents. Biogeographically this study demonstrates close faunal affinities with Siberia.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Bryozoan Paleobiology TOPA Topics in Paleobiology
Book SynopsisBryozoaare among the most abundant yet least understood of phyla in the fossil record. These exclusively colonial animals can be traced back to the Ordovician as fossils and are common elements of sediments deposited in shallow marine environments. On occasion their calcareous skeletons are sufficiently numerous to produce bryozoan limestones. The potential of bryozoans in facies analysis, and their use in macroevolutionary studies, have both been widely recognised, but to date have been incompletely exploited. Bryozoan Paleobiologybrings togetherthe scattered research on living and fossil bryozoansin broad and profusely illustrated overviewthat will help students and researchers alike in understanding this fascinating group of animals. Beginning with the basics of bryozoanmorphology, ecology and classification, the book progressesfrom the smallest scale of skeletal ultrastructure, to the largest of bryozoan distributions in time and space. On the way,topics such as the origin of zooidal polymorphism and macroevolutionary trends in colony formsarecovered. Case studiesilluminatethese topics, and areas in which further research is particularly requiredarehighlighted.Table of ContentsPreface ix Acknowledgements xi 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Zooids 1 1.2 Colonies 6 1.3 Colony Propagation 8 1.4 Ecology 11 1.5 Taxonomy 14 1.6 Collecting and Studying Fossil Bryozoans 17 2 Biomineralization and Geochemistry 21 2.1 Skeletal Wall Types 22 2.2 Pores and Pseudopores 24 2.3 Skeletal Growth 26 2.4 Skeletal Ultrastructure 26 2.5 Spines 29 2.6 Mineralogy 33 2.7 Geochemistry 37 3 Zooid Morphology and Function 41 3.1 Autozooids 42 3.2 Ontogenetic and Astogenetic Variations 51 3.3 Ancestrulae 56 3.4 Polymorphism 58 3.5 Reproductive Polymorphs 59 3.6 Active Defensive Polymorphs 65 3.7 Structural Polymorphs 72 3.8 Spinozooids 75 3.9 Rhizooids 76 3.10 Cleaning Polymorphs 77 3.11 Locomotory Polymorphs 77 3.12 Microenvironmental Variability 79 3.13 Zooid‐level Skeletal Structures 80 3.14 Extrazooidal Structures 87 3.15 The Cormidial ‘Zooids’ of Advanced Cheilostomes 89 4 Colony Morphology and Function 91 4.1 Colony‐form Classifications 91 4.2 Growth and Colony‐form 95 4.3 Functional Morphology of Colony‐form 102 4.4 Colony Propagation in Lunulitiform Bryozoans 116 4.5 Multizooidal Feeding Morphologies 119 4.6 Life Histories 125 4.7 Colonial Integration 126 4.8 Endolithic and Etching Bryozoans 127 5 Biotic Interactions 131 5.1 Competition 131 5.2 Predation 139 5.3 Symbioses 144 5.4 Bryozoans as Habitat Providers 150 6 Ecology and Palaeoecology 155 6.1 Bryozoan Habitats 155 6.2 Bryozoans in Reefs and Mounds 165 6.3 Colony‐form and Palaeoenvironments 170 6.4 Depth Distributions and Palaeobathymetry 172 6.5 Bryozoans as Sediment Producers 176 6.6 Taphonomy 179 6.7 Palaeoclimatology and Zooid Size 181 7 Biogeography 187 7.1 Cosmopolitan vs. Endemic Distributions 187 7.2 Modes of Dispersal 188 7.3 Biogeography of Bryozoans at the Present Day 191 7.4 Latitudinal Diversity Gradient 191 7.5 Palaeobiogeography 193 8 Phylogeny 199 8.1 Relationships with Other Phyla 199 8.2 Inter‐relationships of Bryozoan Classes 200 8.3 Inter‐relationships of Bryozoan Orders 201 8.4 Morphological Phylogenies 204 8.5 Molecular Phylogenies 205 9 Evolution and Fossil History 211 9.1 Phanerozoic Bryozoan Diversity 211 9.2 Cambrian Bryozoans? 212 9.3 Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event 214 9.4 End‐Ordovician Extinction 215 9.5 Devonian Extinctions 215 9.6 Permian Mass Extinctions 216 9.7 Triassic Diversity and Mass Extinction 217 9.8 Jurassic Cyclostome Radiation 217 9.9 Cretaceous–Palaeogene Radiations 218 9.10 End Cretaceous and Danian Extinctions 220 9.11 Convergence 221 9.12 Palaeostomates and Post‐Palaeozoic Cyclostomes Compared 227 9.13 Frontal Shield Evolution in Ascophoran Cheilostomes 228 9.14 Cyclostomes vs. Cheilostomes 230 9.15 Colony‐forms Through Geological Time 234 9.16 Evolutionary Tempo in Bryozoans 236 10 Prospective Future Research 239 10.1 Biomineralization 240 10.2 Polymorphism 240 10.3 Environmental Distributions of Colony‐forms 240 10.4 Taphonomy 241 10.5 Small Palaeozoic Bryozoans 241 10.6 Phylogeny and Classification 241 References 243 Index 311

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Techniques for Virtual Palaeontology
Book SynopsisVirtual palaeontology, the use of interactive three-dimensional digital models as a supplement or alternative to physical specimens for scientific study and communication, is rapidly becoming important to advanced students and researchers. Using non-invasive techniques, the method allows the capture of large quantities of useful data without damaging the fossils being studied Techniques for Virtual Palaeontology guides palaeontologists through the decisions involved in designing a virtual palaeontology workflow and gives a comprehensive overview, providing discussions of underlying theory, applications, historical development, details of practical methodologies, and case studies. Techniques covered include physical-optical tomography (serial sectioning), focused ion beam tomography, all forms of X-ray CT, neutron tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, optical tomography, laser scanning, and photogrammetry. Visualization techniques and data/file formats are also discusTrade Review“The authors have produced a well-organized volume that is easily accessible to both professionals and nonprofessionals and will likely be cited as an introductory source as virtual technologies in paleontology continue to emerge.” (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 October 2015) “Techniques for Virtual Palaeontology thus provides an excellent background for students who are likely to encounter virtual techniques as they embark on a palaeontological career. It also successfully informs more established palaeontologists who either plan to enter the field or, like me, dabble in 3D but would like more background information. It is a valuable addition to the palaeontological bookshelf.” (Geological Journal, 1 May 2015) Table of ContentsAcknowledgements viii 1 Introduction and History 1 1.1 Introduction 1 1.2 Historical Development 4 1.2.1 Physical-Optical Tomography in the 20th Century 4 1.2.2 The CT Revolution 6 1.2.3 Modern Physical-Optical Tomography 7 1.2.4 Other Modern Tomographic Techniques 8 1.2.5 Surface-Based Techniques 9 1.2.6 Historical Summary 10 2 Destructive Tomography 14 2.1 Introduction 14 2.2 Physical-Optical Tomography 16 2.2.1 Approaches to Surface Exposure 16 2.2.2 Approaches to Imaging 19 2.2.3 Other Considerations for Methodology 23 2.2.4 Case Studies of Methodology 27 2.3 Focused Ion Beam Tomography 34 2.3.1 History 34 2.3.2 Principles and Practicalities 34 2.3.3 Examples in Palaeontology 36 2.3.4 Summary 37 3 Non-Destructive Tomography 41 3.1 Introduction 41 3.2 X-Ray Computed Tomography 42 3.2.1 Introduction to CT 42 3.2.2 History 43 3.2.3 X-Rays and Matter 46 3.2.4 X-Ray Microtomography 51 3.2.5 Medical Scanners 61 3.2.6 Lab-Based Nanotomography (Nano-CT) 63 3.2.7 Synchrotron Tomography 66 3.2.8 Tomographic Reconstruction 70 3.2.9 Artefacts 74 3.2.10 Phase-Contrast Tomography 78 3.2.11 Scanning Considerations 82 3.2.12 The Future: Three-Dimensional Elemental Mapping 83 3.2.13 Case Studies of Methodology 85 3.3 Neutron Tomography 89 3.3.1 History 90 3.3.2 Principles and Practicalities 90 3.3.3 Examples in Palaeontology 92 3.3.4 Summary 93 3.4 Magnetic Resonance Imaging 94 3.4.1 History 94 3.4.2 Principles and Practicalities 94 3.4.3 Examples in Palaeontology 96 3.4.4 Summary 97 3.5 Optical Tomography: Serial Focusing 98 3.5.1 History 98 3.5.2 Principles and Practicalities 98 3.5.3 Examples in Palaeontology 101 3.5.4 Other Approaches 102 3.5.5 Summary 103 4 Surface-Based Methods 115 4.1 Introduction 115 4.2 Laser Scanning 116 4.2.1 History 116 4.2.2 Principles and Practicalities 117 4.2.3 Case Studies of Methodology 120 4.3 Photogrammetry 122 4.3.1 History 122 4.3.2 Principles and Practicalities 122 4.3.3 Case Study of Methodology 124 4.4 Mechanical Digitization 125 5 Digital Visualization 130 5.1 Introduction 130 5.2 Reconstructing Tomographic Data 132 5.2.1 Registered Tomographic Datasets 132 5.2.2 Registration 134 5.2.3 Vector Surfacing 135 5.2.4 Volume Reconstructions 137 5.3 Reconstructing Surface Data 142 5.4 Visualization Methodologies 142 5.4.1 Introduction 142 5.4.2 Visualizing Triangle Meshes 143 5.4.3 Direct Volume Rendering 147 5.4.4 Direct Point-Cloud Rendering 148 5.5 Software and Formats 149 5.5.1 Reconstruction and Visualization Software 149 5.5.2 Data Formats and File Formats 152 5.6 Case Studies 155 5.6.1 The Herefordshire Lagerstätte (Isosurfacing; SPIERS; Physical-Optical) 155 5.6.2 Caecilian Amphibians (Isosurfacing; Amira; Synchrotron CT) 159 5.6.3 Neoproterozoic Problematica (Vector Surfacing; Scripting; Physical-Optical) 160 6 Applications beyond Visualization 165 6.1 Introduction 165 6.2 Geometric Morphometrics 166 6.3 Dental Microwear Texture Analysis 167 6.4 Biomechanical Modelling 168 6.4.1 Finite-Element Analysis 168 6.4.2 Multibody Dynamics Analysis 171 6.4.3 Body-Size Estimation 172 6.4.4 Computational Fluid Dynamics 173 References 174 Further Reading/Resources 176 7 Summary 177 7.1 Introduction 177 7.2 Summary of Data-Capture Methodologies 178 7.3 Recommendations for Method Selection 182 7.4 Developments and Trends 184 7.5 Concluding Remarks 187 Index 188
