Cover design by Jeff Belizaire About this book This is one part of the first comprehensive study of the development of Greek sculpture and painting with the aim of enriching the usual stylistic-sociological approaches through a serious, disciplined consideration of the basic Greek scientific orientation to the world. This world view, known as the Four Elements Theory, came to specific formulation at the same time as the perfected contrapposto of Polykleitos and a concern with the four root colors in painting (Polygnotos). All these factors are found to be intimately intertwined, for, at this stage of human culture, the spheres of science and art were not so drastically differentiated as in our era. The world of the four elements involved the concepts of polarity and complementarism at every level.

    CONSERVATION MATTERS THE JOURNAL OF CONSERVATION LAW FOUNDATION | www.clf.org NAVIGATING A NEW NORMAL 2020 2021 YEAR IN REVIEW LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT THE LAST YEAR HAS SHOWN US JUST HOW PRECARIOUS OUR NORMS ARE. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted, derailed, and disoriented our lives. But it also unearthed racial injustices and systemic failures that have been hiding in plain sight for far too long. Watching as we all shifted our priorities and re-imagined how we manage our lives both personally and professionally, I have been amazed at the ability of CLF’s talented staff and volunteers to pivot, refocus, and reinvent how we move our work forward. And, we have been buoyed by the continued passion and dedication of our donors in continuing to show up, speak up, and step up to ensure that we had the resources to keep going through such uncertainty. Now, as vaccination rates continue to rise, we appear poised to go back to life as usual. But should we merely pick up where so many of us left off almost Business as 18 months ago? I would argue that no, we should not – especially if “usual” means once again Unusual. burying the reality of the injustices that have plagued our country for centu- ries and still overburden communities of color today. Now is not the time to be complacent. Our responsibility – our obligation – is to create a new normal for and, most importantly, with the people we serve. We can overcome the challenges threatening our communities, from rooting out injustice, to exposing broken systems that leave so many of us vulnerable to harm, to ensur- ing a just transition to an equitable clean energy economy that lifts all New Englanders.

The colors and abundance of life consis- tently delight me and also remind me of how vulnerable these systems are. In this issue of blue, we’ll journey to one of the most remote tropical coral reef systems on the planet. In September, a team of scientists from the Aquarium, the Woods Hole Oceano- graphic Institution and other collaborators visited the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA), one of the largest marine protected areas in the world.
