H-Environment Roundtable Reviews, Vol. 10, No. 5 (2020) 2 Introduction by Kara Murphy Schlichting, Queens College CUNY n North America, winter is on the horizon. In my home of New York City, winter can be blustery and cold. This city is a fair weather metropolis, seasonally I embracing outdoor life in warm weather only. The coming winter of 2020-21, with the ongoing need for social distancing and outdoor congregations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will likely force a reconsideration of the typical retreat indoors at the arrival of cold. From this vantage point of changing seasons and the need to rethink winter practices, Thomas Wickman’s Snowshoe Country: An Environmental and Cultural History of Winter in the Early American Northeast is an reminder that the interiority of a New York winter is a construct of this community and era.

  • L Egends of F Light
    L E G E N D S O F F LIGHT LOCKHEED’S SUPER CONSTELLATION Inspired by the Constellation’s Legacy, the Elegance of Air Travel Returns with Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The Lockheed Super Constellation, rated by some as the sexiest propeller driven plane, stars in the first-ever 15/70 3D IMAX® film, Legends of Flight. In its heyday, the Super Constellation was as streamlined as the fins on a Cadillac and many times faster. It had all the elegance of a Park Avenue model and the attitude of a B-movie starlet. Above all, the Super Connie epitomized all things American. Even when parked at a ramp it spoke volumes about modern intercontinental flight and the new thrill of flying. This plane brought people to airports just to look and dream. And, how its engines roared! A total of 856 Connies and Super Constellations were built at Lockheed’s Burbank assembly plant, a stone’s throw from the movie studios and perhaps part of the reason this plane looked so good. Four types were built during the production range and each had the distinctive triple-tail design and graceful dolphin fuselage design. What many first-time fliers didn’t know or care about was that the Constellation’s signature wing was effectively the same as that used on the lethal WWII P-38 Lightning. Nor would they know that the triple tail design was actually a move to save money by allowing the plane to fit into existing hangars. It cruised at over 300 MPH while passengers enjoyed sumptuous first-class meals.

    View From Above March 24, 2020 Applause Series Inquiry Guide Presentation Info View From Above Step back, about 220 miles from earth, and experience our planet from a new perspective. Former International Space Station Commander Terry Virts helped to install the outpost’s 360-degree observation module, which not only helped him to take more photos than any astronaut before him, but also gives those who see the images a deeper understanding of our planet’s climate, economics, and place in the universe. Themes: space, exploration, science, climate, photography Biography NASA astronaut Terry Virts has served as pilot of the space shuttle Endeavour, a crew member on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, and most recently as commander of the International Space Station during 200 consecutive days in space—one of the longest continuous space missions of any NASA astronaut. Terry appeared in the 2016 IMAX film A Beautiful Planet, a breathtaking portrait of Earth from space that features stunning footage of our magnificent blue planet and humanity's impact on it. Much of it was shot be Terry while aboard (and outside) the International Space Station. His photography, which provides incredible aerial views of Earth and the vast space that surrounds it is featured in the National Geographic book View From Above, which was released in October 2017. Life On The International Space Station Completing basic tasks like sleeping, eating and taking out the garbage become complicated when you don’t have gravity. Check out the astronaut videos to see how life works on the International Space Station linked in the resources above.

  • 9. IMAX Technology and the Tourist Gaze
    Charles R. Acland IMAX TECHNOLOGY AND THE TOURIST GAZE Abstract IMAX grew out of the large and multiple screen lm experiments pro- duced for Expo ’67 in Montréal. Since then, it has become the most suc- cessful large format cinema technology.IMAX is a multiple articulation of technological system, corporate entity and cinema practice. This article shows how IMAX is reintroducing a technologically mediated form of ‘tourist gaze’, as elaborated by John Urry,into the context of the insti- tutions of museums and theme parks. IMAX is seen as a powerful exem- plar of the changing role of cinema-going in contemporary post-Fordist culture, revealing new congurations of older cultural forms and practices. In particular,the growth of this brand of commercial cinema runs parallel to a blurring of the realms of social and cultural activity,referred to as a process of ‘dedifferentiation’. This article gives special attention to the espistemological dimensions of IMAX’s conditions of spectatorship. Keywords cinema; epistemology; postmodernism; technology; tourism; spectatorship Technologies and institutional locations of IMAX N E O F T H E rst things you notice at the start of an IMAX lm, after the suspenseful atmosphere created by the mufed acoustics of the theatre, andO after you sink into one of the steeply sloped seats and become aware of the immense screen so close to you, is the clarity of the image. As cinema-goers, we are accustomed to celluloid scratches, to dirty or dim projections, and to oddly ubiquitous focus problems. The IMAX image astonishes with its vibrant colours and ne details.

  • At the Mercy of Tiberius a Novel
    AT THE MERCY OF TIBERIUS A NOVEL By AUGUSTA JANE EVANS AT THE MERCY OF TIBERIUS CHAPTER I. "You are obstinate and ungrateful. You would rather see me suffer and die, than bend your stubborn pride in the effort to obtain relief for me. You will not try to save me." The thin, hysterically unsteady voice ended in a sob, and the frail wasted form of the speaker leaned forward, as if the issue of life or death hung upon an answer. The tower clock of a neighboring church began to strike the hour of noon, and not until the echo of the last stroke had died away, was there a reply to the appeal. "Mother, try to be just to me. My pride is for you, not for myself. I shrink from seeing my mother crawl to the feet of a man, who has disowned and spurned her; I cannot consent that she should humbly beg for rights, so unnaturally withheld. Every instinct of my nature revolts from the step you require of me, and I feel as if you held a hot iron in your hand, waiting to brand me." "Your proud sensitiveness runs in a strange groove, and it seems you would prefer to see me a pauper in a Hospital, rather than go to your grandfather and ask for help. Beryl, time presses, and if I die for want of aid, you will be responsible; when it is too late, you will reproach yourself. If I only knew where and how to reach my dear boy, I should not importune you.
