In the early 2000s, Chicago-based artist Julie Weber worked as a photo technician for a popular retail chain. The first wave of digital printers was making its way to one-hour photo-counters across the country. Dye-sublimination printers, which use heat to transfer dyes to high gloss photo paper, became common as stores endeavored to keep up with the changing consumer tide from film to digital. The printer ribbon consists of a spool of thin polyester coated in repeating blocks of cyan, magenta, and yellow dyes. The dyes transfer to the paper, layering to form a whole, color photograph. Each image sent to the printer leaves behind three impressions on the ribbon, one for each color, analogous to film negatives. When a ribbon reaches its printing capacity, it is full of image remnants. Weber created the imagery for Remnants by layering, folding, rolling, and creasing this cellophane-like material into new configurations. On one side, twelve individual images are presented. On the other side, the twelve pieces can be arranged to form a single, composite image.
Set in pre-war Russia, contemporary Australia and Renaissance Italy, this novel's central story explores exile, memory and loss. At its centre is an ageing Russian emigre, a woman who claims to have nursed the poet Osip Mandelstam in his final days.
Remnants by Rosemarie Freeney Harding,Rachel Elizabeth Harding Pdf
An activist influential in the civil rights movement, Rosemarie Freeney Harding’s spirituality blended many traditions, including southern African American mysticism, Anabaptist Christianity, Tibetan Buddhism, and Afro-Brazilian Candomblé. Remnants, a multigenre memoir, demonstrates how Freeney Harding's spiritual life and social justice activism were integral to the instincts of mothering, healing, and community-building. Following Freeney Harding’s death in 2004, her daughter Rachel finished this decade-long collaboration, using recorded interviews, memories of her mother, and her mother's journal entries, fiction, and previously published essays.
Treating poverty not simply as a theme in literature but as a force that in fact shapes the texts themselves, Rimstead adopts the notion of a common culture to include ordinary voices in national culture, in this case the national culture of Canada.
After tackling her first mission and coming to terms with her power of empathy, Andriana discovers her first battles were only a taste of what is to come. She and her knight, Ronan, have admitted their feelings for each other, but their bonds are tested when Dri is captured by their mortal and spiritual enemy—Sethos—and his master, Keallach, emperor of Pacifica. Andriana is certain Keallach can be convinced to follow the Maker's plan and join the other Remnants … but in time, she must decide whether she really can pull him back to the Way, or if Sethos's web of darkness has slowly and thoroughly trapped them both … forever.
"War... is merely an idea, an institution, like dueling or slavery, that has been grafted onto human existence. It is not a trick of fate, a thunderbolt from hell, a natural calamity, or a desperate plot contrivance dreamed up by some sadistic puppeteer on high. And it seems to me that the institution is in pronounced decline, abandoned as attitudes toward it have changed, roughly following the pattern by which the ancient and formidable institution of slavery became discredited and then mostly obsolete."—from the Introduction War is one of the great themes of human history and now, John Mueller believes, it is clearly declining. Developed nations have generally abandoned it as a way for conducting their relations with other countries, and most current warfare (though not all) is opportunistic predation waged by packs—often remarkably small ones—of criminals and bullies. Thus, argues Mueller, war has been substantially reduced to its remnants—or dregs—and thugs are the residual combatants. Mueller is sensitive to the policy implications of this view. When developed states commit disciplined troops to peacekeeping, the result is usually a rapid cessation of murderous disorder. The Remnants of War thus reinvigorates our sense of the moral responsibility bound up in peacekeeping. In Mueller's view, capable domestic policing and military forces can also be effective in reestablishing civic order, and the building of competent governments is key to eliminating most of what remains of warfare.

The Remnant: the Legend of the Seer by M.J. Chrisman Pdf
Rain drenched his clothing as a mob of people circled around him, blocking him in their barrier of tightly formed bodies. The faces of the great host blurred before him; he couldn't make out a single expression. He gazed at his chest and saw blood trickling down and falling into pools of water beneath his feet. At the same time, he held a sword firmly in his grasp. He inched his gaze upward and realized that he had seen this all before.... A soft glow suddenly began to emanate from his body. Starting small, it grew more and more brightly until he was totally consumed with light, power surging through his being. William Ore then let out a terrible war cry that tore into the hillsides as he charged into the multitude.
Steve doesn't care who he was.He knows more than enough to realize it doesn't matter at all.Now living in what had once been the Creeplands and maintaining a thriving farm there, they are under constant siege from the Creep itself.It's still better than life in Lamals.And that's just how it is. After taking over the Citadel, removing Lynn from her place of power, stopping the Creep's advance, and starting to take over part of the Creeplands, he was certainly making a difference for himself, humans, and men everywhere.But with the problems that were close to home eliminated, he now needs to start working on external threats to his personal world. His Citadel and his two farms. Before he had only concerned himself with what was near and dear to him, but he'd overlooked that others saw him as a resource to be utilized.Or eliminated.On top of all of that, it's becoming clear that he's rapidly reaching the end of his task. A task he doesn't truly know or understand, but one that he apparently agreed to when he still had all his memories. A task assigned to him by a merciless voice that clearly thinks little of him.Family troubles are starting to look like a sweet memory and dream compared to what's on the horizon for him.His path could very well lead to the complete collapse of Lamals. At least, if he has anything to say about it.This time around, however, even his axe may not be up to the job and he'll have to resort to more drastic measures. After all, any problem can be solved with the right application of force.Even a road to hell paved with good intentions.Right?Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show.

Tropical Forest Remnants by William F. Laurance,Richard O. Bierregaard Pdf
We live in an increasingly fragmented world, with islands of natural habitat cast adrift in a sea of cleared, burned, logged, polluted, and otherwise altered lands. Nowhere are fragmentation and its devastating effects more evident than in the tropical forests. By the year 2000, more than half of these forests will have been cut, causing increased soil erosion, watershed destabilization, climate degradation, and extinction of as many as 600,000 species. Tropical Forest Remnants provides the best information available to help us understand, manage, and conserve the remaining fragments. Covering geographic areas from Southeast Asia and Australia to Madagascar and the New World, this volume summarizes what is known about the ecology, management, restoration, socioeconomics, and conservation of fragmented forests. Thirty-three papers present results of recent research as well as updates from decades-long projects in progress. Two final chapters synthesize the state of research on tropical forest fragmentation and identify key priorities for future work.
