The Voice of Water

An Exploration of the Ephemeral Life of Wetlands in Miniature Paintings and Poems

By: Sue Lovegrove,Adrienne Eberhard

The Voice of Water is a collection of 30 miniature paintings and poems which celebrate and pay homage to the beauty and ephemeral life of wetlands, by artist, Sue Lovegrove and poet, Adrienne Eberhard. With exquisite attention to detail Lovegrove and Eberhard reveal the fragility and fleeting nature of life at the heart of a lagoon - the embrace of its reaches, the constantly shifting light patterns, its melancholy darkness and the movement of wind imprinting on both water and the feathery expanse of grasses as well as the sound track of place from frog call to the tapping of insect legs and grasses. The intimacy and intensity of the miniature form used throughout the book draws the reader into observing the miniscule things that are often overlooked and unseen while simultaneously evoking a grander scale bringing the vision and experience of water into a micro moment. In our increasingly climate-stressed environment, water is becoming more ephemeral and transient. This book is a timely reminder of the preciousness of wetlands, their richness, fecundity and the life they support, is because of the presence of water.All the miniature paintings are reproduced actual size, either 8 x 12 cm or 8 x 24 cm. The publication is an object of beauty and contemplation that encourages people to slow down and spend time considering the aesthetics of life in water.

Jane, Lady Franklin

By: Adrienne Eberhard

Jane, Lady Franklin' by Adrienne Eberhard 'Will we assume their speed the shark's coming the squid's mobilitiy the flathead's knowledge? This difficulty fostling in our bodies - I could walk on my hands for sure.' When Adrienne Eberhard assumes the persona of Jane, Lady Franklin, wife of the colonial Governor Sir John Franklin, she releases herself as a poet of intimate engagements. In a suite of poems, linked together like a chain of ponds, she follows Jane Franklin's Tasmanian years. Water, rocks, fossils, step daughters, desire or guilt and betrayal, and love of the physical world seethe in her lines. 'Eberhard looks long and deeply at well-loved landscapes and renders them with remarkable intensity and ingenuity of imagery... she has an unapologetic love for what language can do... a willingness to risk total immersion in it, even to the point of excess... she has a high degree of empathy with people and other living creatures. Eberhard is able to think her way deeply into their situations and create complex and lyrical accounts of her investigations... we are seeing the emergence of a truly substantial poetic talent.' Geoff Page, 'Island' magazine

Fermilab

Physics, the Frontier, and Megascience

By: Lillian Hoddeson,Adrienne W. Kolb,Catherine Westfall

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, located in the western suburbs of Chicago, has stood at the frontier of high-energy physics for forty years. Fermilab is the first history of this laboratory and of its powerful accelerators told from the point of view of the people who built and used them for scientific discovery. Focusing on the first two decades of research at Fermilab, during the tenure of the laboratory’s charismatic first two directors, Robert R. Wilson and Leon M. Lederman, the book traces the rise of what they call “megascience,” the collaborative struggle to conduct large-scale international experiments in a climate of limited federal funding. In the midst of this new climate, Fermilab illuminates the growth of the modern research laboratory during the Cold War and captures the drama of human exploration at the cutting edge of science.

The Very Rich Hours of Adrienne Monnier

By: Adrienne Monnier

In 1920s Paris, Adrienne Monnier provided a focal point for the writers and artists drawn to the Left Bank. Her bookstore in the Rue de l’Odeon was aptly called La Maison des Amis des Livres. Monnier took a simple though sophisticated delight in language, books, art, music, nature, friendship, and food. Her 1940 journal, written as Paris fell to the Germans and originally published in 1976, is a rich tapestry of essays, reviews, and personal recollections. She goes to lunch with Colette, visits T. S. Eliot, befriends Joyce, argues with Breton, takes walks with Gide, publishes her elegant reviews, and reflects on the ballet, opera, Steinberg drawings, Marlon Brando and Alec Guinness movies, and the country of her birth.
