Book Description
Tracing the cultural, material, and discursive history of an early manifestation of media culture in the making. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, huge circular panoramas presented their audiences with resplendent representations that ranged from historic battles to exotic locations. Such panoramas were immersive but static. There were other panoramas that moved—hundreds, and probably thousands of them. Their history has been largely forgotten. In Illusions in Motion, Erkki Huhtamo excavates this neglected early manifestation of media culture in the making. The moving panorama was a long painting that unscrolled behind a “window” by means of a mechanical cranking system, accompanied by a lecture, music, and sometimes sound and light effects. Showmen exhibited such panoramas in venues that ranged from opera houses to church halls, creating a market for mediated realities in both city and country. In the first history of this phenomenon, Huhtamo analyzes the moving panorama in all its complexity, investigating its relationship to other media and its role in the culture of its time. In his telling, the panorama becomes a window for observing media in operation. Huhtamo explores such topics as cultural forms that anticipated the moving panorama; theatrical panoramas; the diorama; the "panoramania" of the 1850s and the career of Albert Smith, the most successful showman of that era; competition with magic lantern shows; the final flowering of the panorama in the late nineteenth century; and the panorama's afterlife as a topos, traced through its evocation in literature, journalism, science, philosophy, and propaganda.

Book Description
Fitzsimmons "examines the science, philosophy, and law of ecosystems management and shows how efforts to make federal protection of ecosystems the centerpiece of national environmental policy are driven by religious veneration of Mother Earth wrapped in a veil of weak science."

Book Description
Trapped behind enemy lines in World War I France, Lieutenant Charles Clee stumbles upon an illegal time-travel experiment and finds himself catapulted 850,000 years into the future. Marooned in a nightmare world where prehistoric behemoths tread side-by-side with genetically-altered monsters from the laboratories of tomorrow, hunted by the eon-spanning Time Police and Earth's alien overlords, Clee races across the globe searching for the fabled last time machine—his only chance to go home. If he returns, he can save the men of his command and turn the tide of the war—but if he remains, he can become the symbol of Earth's resistance to centuries of slavery. In the end he must choose: Honor his oaths and rescue the men he swore to protect in the past, or honor his humanity and accept the leadership of mankind in the struggle to save the future? No matter his decision, a world is doomed.
