Book Description
Jeff Gusky, a doctor of emergency medicine, decided at the age of 42 that he wanted to better confront the reality of modern Jewish history. A self-taught photographer who subsequently learned to make museum quality prints, he bought what he calls "a good, journalist-type camera and some lenses" and traveled to Poland-once the home of the largest concentration of Diaspora Jews. He read the instruction manuals on the plane en route.
Over four trips, accompanied each time by a top Polish guide, Gusky traveled through the country, beyond the city ghettos and the sites of concentration camps, into remote villages where Jews had lived and worked for almost 1,000 years before the Holocaust-capturing on film the austere landscapes and the remains of a once thriving Jewish culture.
The silence is deafening: here are Jewish cemeteries full of broken gravestones, ruined synagogues filled with trash and disfigured with graffiti, a Jewish home now used as a public toilet-"where people lived, walked, worshipped, and were, ultimately, exterminated," says Gusky. The doleful, understated clarity of what he saw and photographed captures a poignant sense of loss-making at the same time an indelible connection to the past.

Deafening Silence.......2006-06-18
Silent Places, by Jeff Gusky, takes us on a poignant, and incredible photographic journey to Eastern Europe, where he documented (in B&W photographs) the architecture and landscape of the Holocaust era...Synagogues, houses, landscapes, windows, doors, parks, all images from the past, but actually taken recently. The B&W aspect gives a ghost-like and haunting composition to the photographs...the aura of life within the frame illuminating our senses.
Time erodes the landscape, and even the architecture, but the sense of humanity and life still exist within the confines. We feel the aura of the past, brought into the present, the sounds of silence and former life, and activity resounding, for all of us to view. The ghosts of the past, sing their song, through broken windows, deteriorating doors, ruined homes, leaving an indelible mark in the time continuum, compelling us to wonder WHY?
Gusky's book is a a work of brilliance, one that we soon not forget, a book both compelling and haunting. It is a historical journey into the depths of loss, destruction and places that once hummed with Jewish life.
It matters not what our beliefs are, because we are all one underneath the sun, the umbrella of life on the planet. The history defined within the illuminations of this book define us all on some scale. We all have history, all have ancestral pasts, villages and cities of life, that run through our genetics. Time erodes much of our past, our life's history...and in that aspect...this book gives us to ponder and realize, that each person's history is a part of the universal whole.
Silent Places to Contemplate Loss of Life and Community.......2003-11-28
The somber and quiet images in this book appear to be from the past, but were photographed within the last few years. This unique book offers views of Jewish communities depopulated by the Holocaust and left today much as they were after WWII. Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe left many of these areas undeveloped and frozen in time.
The images in this book are artistically composed and printed with great attention to detail. Viewing the large printed images give one of the feeling of standing in the place itself. I strongly recommend this book as one of permanent importance. With the rapid changes now underway in the area, it may also be the look we have at the communities that made up such an important part of the cultural fabric of Eastern European life prior to WWII.

"The meaning of life for me is just to enjoy myself." "It's all relative to your point of view." The rootless sentiments of today's college students are the springboard for Douglas V. Porpora's impassioned defense of the importance of moral foundations. Landscapes of the Soul is a cri de coeur from a self-identified left-wing "campus radical" who finds common cause with cultural conservatives like Allan Bloom because they share a belief that moral truths are real and independent of our varied perspectives. But Porpora thinks that the central problem is not skepticism, but rather a basic lack of interest in "cosmic meaning." The problem isn't that we don't believe in God; it's that we just don't care.
Porpora goes into the fabric of American culture, interviewing Catholics and Protestants, Jews and Buddhists, urbanites and rural folks, atheists and New Agers, and drawing from a variety of ages, races, and levels of education. He argues that no matter what your "point of view," the modern landscape of American morality is bleak, impoverished by the thin soil of a relativism that is as vacuous as it is pervasive. Porpora's remedy is a reorientation that is infused with spiritual meaning. He wants us to return to a way of being that asks incessantly: "Is there a human destiny we were meant to fulfill?" --Eric de Place
Book Description
Do you believe in God? Nine out of ten Americans unhesitatingly answer yes. But for Douglas Porpora, the real questions begin where pollsters leave off. What, he asks, does religious belief actually mean in our lives? Does it shape our identities and our actions? Or, despite our professions of faith, are we morally adrift? Landscapes of the Soul paints a disturbing picture of American spiritual life. In his search for answers to his questions, Porpora interviewed clerks and executives, Jews, evangelical Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, and even followers of Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh. He asked them about God, and about what they saw as their own place in the universe. What he found was a widespread inability to articulate any grand meaning of life. We lack heroes to inspire us. We lack a sense of calling, of transcendent purpose in our existence. Many of us seem incapable of caring deeply about the suffering of others. Our society is permeated with moral indifference. Yes, we are a believing people, but God is often a distant abstraction and rarely an emotional presence in our lives. Only such an emotional connection, Porpora argues, can be the basis of a genuine moral vision. Our emotional estrangement from God and the sacred keeps us from caring about social justice, keeps us from wanting to change the world, keeps us enclosed in our own private worlds. Landscapes of the Soul is a passionate call to broaden our spiritual and moral horizons, to raise our eyes to the greater reality that unites us all.

Dazzling analysis of American malaise.......2002-07-10
Doug Porpora aims to explain a paradox: how can the American public's beliefs about God have so little influence on their lives? It is an interesting issue, one which has ramifications far beyond contemporary America: Barbara Tuchman's study of fourteen century France, for instance, raises similar issues of contradictions between the beliefs people espouse and their conduct. Tuchman notes that "empathy is . . . the final obstacle" to understanding the Middle Ages. She sees religious belief as the key difficulty here.
Empathy is one of Porpora's greatest strengths and some of the most remarkable parts of this book occur when he enters into dialogue with people who hold beliefs which many would dismiss as bizarre. Porpora is able to illuminate the beliefs of others, to make them intelligible. He elucidates the importance of tarot cards for one person, or another's belief that he has heard the voice of God. What Porpora brings out is the importance (or lack of importance) of these beliefs in people's lives, how they function to modify behaviour or why they have no effect on behaviour.
The book is aimed at the general reader and is extremely engaging at this level; Porpora takes advantage of endnotes to point academic readers on to other sources. Porpora sketches in an argument that the postmodern experience of the self is true phenomenologically but not ontologically, an argument which he pursues in detail in some of his academic articles.
One of the many aspects which Porpora explores is how a sense of larger purpose (in some cases provided by passionate religious belief, in others by a quest for social justice) influences people's experience of themselves. This book is more than a sociological analysis, it is a call to action.
Some book reviewers have assumed that Porpora's call is essentially Christian, but it is far broader and deeper than that. It is essentially a call to heal a broken world. Porpora's promise to his readers is that commitment to larger purposes, to the creation of a world in which social injustice no longer dominates, will enrich their lives. Selfishness, Porpora believes, is doubly impoverishing: dealing out injustice to the poor and a sense of purposeless to the comfortable.

Book Description
Increasing concern surrounding the loss of natural forests and the decline in biodiversity has lead to a rise in research and policy initiatives in recent years. However, interest has focused primarily on lowland tropical rainforests. Tropical montane and temperate rainforests, which face
similar pressures from human activities and play major roles in the livelihood of rural communities, are often ignored.
Biodiversity Loss and Conservation in Fragmented Forest Landscapes is the product of over ten years of intensive field research into the changing montane and temperate rainforests of Mexico and South America. By concentrating on these largely overlooked environments, the studies reported allow for
comparative analysis across areas and help identify how human disturbance has impacted the biodiversity of all forest types. Chapters incorporate features of landscape ecology, floristic biodiversity, conservation and policy and vary from in-depth investigations of a single study area to integrated
examinations across regions.

Book Description
In Landscapes of Loss, Naomi Greene makes new sense of the rich variety of postwar French films by exploring the obsession with the national past that has characterized French cinema since the late 1960s. Observing that the sense of grandeur and destiny that once shaped French identity has eroded under the weight of recent history, Greene examines the ways in which French cinema has represented traumatic and defining moments of the nation's past: the political battles of the 1930s, the Vichy era, decolonization, the collapse of ideologies. Drawing upon a broad spectrum of films and directors, she shows how postwar films have reflected contemporary concerns even as they have created images and myths that have helped determine the contours of French memory.
This study of the intricate links between French history, memory, and cinema begins by examining the long shadow cast by the Vichy past: the repressed memories and smothered unease that characterize the cinema of Alain Resnais are seen as a kind of prelude to a fierce battle for national memory that marked so-called rétro films of the 1970s and 1980s. The shifting political and historical perspectives toward the nation's more distant past, which also emerged in these years, are explored in the light of the films of one of France's leading directors, Bertrand Tavernier. Finally, the mood of nostalgia and melancholy that appears to haunt contemporary France is analyzed in the context of films about the nation's imperial past as well as those that hark back to a "golden age," a remembered paradis perdu, of French cinema itself.

A text of absorbing reading!.......2006-12-31
The way in which every European country after the WW2 reacted facing the inner and outer demons the bloody traces sealed in upon the collective unconscious, evidently varied from nation in nation. While Italy decided to make a profound revision of its own nature (The Italian Neo-realism) or Germany (supported by a marvelous literary movement and the extraordinary raising of memorable directors such as Fassbinder, Herzog, Wenders, Kluge, Schlondorff or Aldon), France due in great part to their multiple artistic tendencies, didn't' t react as it were, unanimously on the same way. United Kingdom bet for profound dramas (The 49th Parallel, The rocking horse winner, A brief encounter, The fallen idol, The third man, Great expectations, Nicolas Nickelby) and then during the fifties, bet for the comedy, obtaining marvelous results (The lavender hill mob, Kind hearts and cornets, The man in the white suit, The lady-killers or The Hobson's choice) with the raising trajectory of the most important British director David lean.
Marcel Carne, after his extraordinary cinematography before and during the WW2 with unforgettable films such as The night visitors, Port of shadows, Le jour se leve or his masterpiece The children of paradise) knew to maintain the poetic gaze with marked realist accent such Le ports de la nuit or Theresa Raquin (based on Emile Zola's novel).
On the other hand Jean Renoir turned his acidic works into major horizons (The river, Elena and the men, The French Can Can or the Elusive corporal).
But meanwhile a literary movement of a new generation of young promises -led by the legendary Andre Bazin- (Erik Rohmer, Claude Chabrol, Francois Truffaut, Jean Luc Goddard or Robert Bresson) brandished their ideas in a newness magazine named Cahiers de Cinema, that generated the most original movement based on simple themes of the reality, best known as The French New Wave, that produced among them different creative perspectives and nourished at the same time new arguments Robert Bresson was the most independent filmmaker among all of them and demonstrated the astonishing profundity of thinking like nobody else. Something similar it would happen with Rohmer who walked over with incisive and brilliant works and Chabrol that developed to transit by a sort of anguishing cinematography (The butcher or Que la bete meure). Max Ophlus is an apart case, but inside his spirit nestled his major work that would dazzle the world in 1972 The sorrow and the pity. And other four important protagonists are worthy to mention: Rene Clement with a very personal aesthetics (Forbidden games, Purple noon, Is Paris burning?), Jean Pierre Melville an emblematic and versatile master of the direction, who transited through many different ways of expression, Alan Resnais, the most eclectic French filmmaker ever born with an existential proposal (Night and frog, Hiroshima mon amour or The last year in Mariembad) and finally the talented and more attached to the narrative traditionalism Jean Delanoy ( The Pastoral Symphony, Marie Antoinette or the Hunchback of Notre dame).
The marvelous insights behind stages, the French ethos and the unknown details that determined this important movement of filmmakers are expressed with sobriety, passion and eloquence, engaging the most exigent reader thanks its lucid prose.
A text that it must be part of any serious artistic library.

Book Description
This book examines what it means to lose a place forever and why we return, and keep on returning, to these places so large in our memories. It considers many lost towns, suburbs and homes: Darwin after Cyclone Tracy, the flooding of the town of Adaminaby in NSW, the inundation of Lake Pedder in Tasmania, bushfire at Macedon in Victoria, migration from other countries, the clearing of neighborhoods for freeways and the everyday circumstances that force people from their land. It establishes how important the places we live in are, and how much we grieve when we lose them.

Description:
The landscape context is crucial for forest conservation in regions where the natural forest is fragmented. The focus of practical conservation is currently shifting from local stands to a landscape perspective, but few studies have tested the relative effect of different spatial and temporal scales for occurrence and persistence of species of conservation concern. We studied Red Data Book and Indicator species (the latter proposed to indicate presence of Red Data Book species) of vascular plants, lichens, bryophytes and wood-inhabiting fungi in 22 old temperate broadleaved forests in southern Sweden. We analysed at which scales these species respond to habitat proportion in surrounding landscape. The proportion of suitable habitat was measured at two temporal scales (present-day and historic) and at two spatial scales (about 0-1km and 1-5km of study sites). Local density of Red Data Book species increased with increasing proportion of suitable habitat in the current landscape (within 1-5km of study sites) while Indicator species were unaffected. The response to landscape differed between organism groups. Vascular plants (near significantly) and wood-inhabiting fungi showed a time delay of 120 years in their response, indicating a possible regional extinction debt. An appropriate minimum landscape scale for conservation of Red Data Book species in temperate broadleaved forests in Sweden seems to be about 5km (radius), but smaller landscapes may be important for vascular plants and wood-inhabiting fungi of conservation concern. In addition, restoration is urgent to counteract the effect of time delays in species responses to recent habitat loss.

From the author: Soil loss from farmed fields is most often estimated using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) or the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), but few methods exist to test the accuracy of these estimates. Our objectives were to use the Cesium-137 isotopic tracer technique to assess the spatial patterns of net soil movement across a farmed watershed and to compare the results with estimates from RUSLE. The Cesium tracer technique was applied for the first time to a 46 ha (114 ac) closed watershed (outlet blocked) in the Palouse region of northern Idaho. A basic sample grid of 50 x 75 m (164 x 246ft) that also bad clusters of additional points 25 m (82ft) apart supported both transect-based and geostatistical analysis. Net soil loss from the watershed was zero because of the blocked outlet, allowing a mass balance to be calculated between erosion and deposition. Over the 26-year period following Cesium fallout (1963-1989), erosion averaged -11.6 t [ha.sup.-1] [yr.sup.-1] (-5.2 t [ac.sup.-1] [yr.sup.-1]) from erosional areas of the watershed, and deposition a 18.6 t [ha.sup.-1] [yr.sup.-1] (8.3 t [ac.sup.-1], [yr.sup.-1]) onto depositional areas of the water of average erosion and deposition were -58 t [ha.sup.-1] [yr.sup.-1] (-25.9 t [ac.sup.1] [yr.sup.-1] [ha.sup.1] [yr.sup.-1] (123.5 t [ac.sup.-1] [yr.sup.-1]), respectively. Contour maps of net soil mov using geostatistical techniques show that convex ridge tops and mid-slope knobs have undergone the most severe erosion; concave areas in valley bottoms and on slopes received deposition; and mid slopes generally bad small amounts of either erosion or deposition, suggesting that they are zones of soil transport. The average erosion rate estimated by RUSLE for the entire watershed was -31.4 t [ha.sup.1] [yr.sup.-1] (-14 t ac [yr.sup.-1]), compared to a rate estimated by Cs-137 of -11.6 t [ha.sup.1] [yr.sup.-1] (-5 [yr.sup.-1])for erosional areas (about 60 percent of the watershed), suggesting that RUSLE may have overestimated water erosion on this farmed watershed.
From the supplier: The accuracy of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to estimate soil loss from farmed fields cannot be tested easily. The Cesium-137 (CS-137) isotopic tracer technique was applied for the first time to a 46 ha (114 ac) closed watershed in the Palouse region of northern Idaho to assess the spatial patterns of net soil movement. It showed, on comparison with RUSLE, that the average erosion rate estimated by RUSLE was -31.4 t ha-1 yr1 (-14 t ac yr1), and that of CS-137 was -11.6 ha1 yr1 (-5.2 t ac yr1) for erosional areas constituting about 60% of the watershed. RUSLE may have overestimated water erosion on the farmed watershed.

Description:
Throughout the world, but particularly in tropical regions habitat loss and disturbance are considered detrimental to biodiversity. We examine the effects of disturbance by harvesting, burning and habitat fragmentation on six bird species associated with papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) swamps. The presence or absence of these species was verified in 93 wetlands in southern Uganda between June and August 2003. Disturbance was estimated directly by observation and indirectly from examining vegetation structure. Habitat fragmentation was quantified by delineating swamps on Landsat ETM images and applying 'Fragstats' to calculate relevant patch metrics. The occurrence of all six species was affected positively by increased swamp size, but birds were more likely to occur in small swamps at high altitude. The shape and proximity of swamps to neighbouring wetlands had little effect on occurrence. As altitude, habitat fragmentation and disturbance were correlated, determining avian responses to disturbance was problematic. However, the occurrence of all species was affected by disturbance, often showing unimodal responses, if disturbance was not considered in conjunction with habitat fragmentation. When the effects of habitat fragmentation and disturbance were analysed together, only the occurrences of papyrus yellow warbler and white-winged warbler were affected (positively) by disturbance. Results suggest that papyrus-dwelling passerines, except papyrus gonolek, are tolerant of low intensities of disturbance, a novel finding in the tropics. We recommend that policy-makers do not prohibit harvesting, thus generating good will and encouraging rural householders to comply with additional conservation policy.

Description:
Abandonment of farming with the resultant increase in forest cover is one of the major threats to semi-natural grasslands in marginal agricultural areas. In Sweden, the loss of semi-natural grassland is a serious nature conservation problem since it is one of the most species-rich habitats. In this study, the consequences of grassland abandonment and afforestation on butterfly diversity and butterfly dispersal costs are estimated and used to compare three different future land-use scenarios for a marginal agricultural landscape in Sweden. Based on previous butterfly surveys on grasslands in the area, a relationship between land-use type and butterfly diversity was established. By comparing land-use maps of different scenarios, the number of suitable habitat patches and total suitable habitat patch area with low, medium and high butterfly diversity could be estimated. To obtain an indication of possible fragmentation effects, a least-cost analysis was used to compare travel costs of the butterflies between suitable habitat patches for the different scenarios. The results show that different land-use scenarios affect butterfly diversity and travel costs differently. In the extreme case scenario of cessation of full-time farming and a reduction in part-time farming, nearly all valuable butterfly habitats will vanish, since the most species-rich habitats lie in the periphery of the settlement and are expected to be abandoned and afforested first. If, on the other hand, grassland management is less reduced the effect of abandonment on butterflies depends very much on which areas continue to be managed. To preserve the most important grasslands for butterflies an active management strategy for the whole study area would be needed. While it seems relatively easy to identify the areas most important to conserve from a butterfly diversity perspective, it will be more difficult to find an optimal spatial solution that also minimises dispersal costs for butterflies.
