HUA-YUAN LI MOWRY
A pioneer study of the seven dramatic works produced in China between the years of 1964 and 1966, this pamphlet focuses on the Chinese communist literary and art theory at that time, when theatrical productions and personnel were treated more or less the same as industrial or agricultural outputs and factory or farm workers, in terms of managerial control. It traces the origin and development of the term "yang-pan" 样板 ("yangban" in pinyin, meaning "template") from agricultural to dramatic productions, and describes the political and ideological background against which the seven "model" dramas (five Beijing operas and two ballet dance-dramas) came into being. Based on the limited Chinese source materials available to the West in the early 1970s, it also provides scene-to-scene synopses of each of the seven dramas. 1973.
NANCY ANDERSON, AND MICHAEL R. DIETRICH, EDITORS
The creation and processing of visual representations in the life sciences is a critical but often overlooked aspect of scientific pedagogy. The Educated Eye follows the nineteenth-century embrace of the visible in new spectatoria, or demonstration halls, through the twentieth-century cinematic explorations of microscopic realms and simulations of surgery in virtual reality, 2012.
HEIDI RAE COOLEY
Finding Augusta breaks new ground, revising how media studies interpret the relationship between our bodies and technology. This is a challenging exploration of how, for both good and ill, the sudden ubiquity of mobile devices, GPS systems, haptic technologies, and other forms of media alter individuals' experience of their bodies and shape the social collective. The author succeeds in problematizing the most salient fact of contemporary mobile media technologies, namely, that they have become, like highways and plumbing, an infrastructure that regulates habit, 2014.
FRAZER WARD
Ward contends that the ethical challenges with which performance art confronts its viewers speak to the reimagining of the audience, in terms that suggest the collapse of notions like "public" and "community", 2012.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson was an Arctic explorer, promoter, and teacher who made expeditions above the Arctic Circle between 1906 and 1918. Documentation from these explorations including diaries, notes, scientific experiments, letters, and photographs [see finding aid for the Stefansson Papers]. The Stefansson collection of photographs consists of over 1,200 black and white images primarily from the Canadian Arctic Expedition (1913-1918). Images dating between 1913 and 1916 were taken by C.A.E. photographer Sir George Hubert Wilkins. A descriptive finding aid is also available for the photographs. Stefansson also lectured internationally on the subject of Arctic exploration and culture, using this collection of over 700 lantern slides to illustrate his lectures. Included are images of flora and fauna, landscapes, ice formations, boats, indigenous housing, clothing, hunting and fishing practices, as well as many individuals. In addition, there are some slides from Stefansson's 1923 trip to Australia and French Polynesia, and images of Stefannson teaching in Dartmouth College's Northern Studies Program.
