In Dreams. Scenes from the Archive adds to our understanding of Dennis Hopper’s personal vision as an artist by tracing the threads of Hopper’s life through photography, and connecting his roles as an actor, husband, father, and photographer. In Dreams eschews Hopper’s iconic stand-alone images and instead looks to distill the archive into a connected set of photographs that offer new impressions and stories. Themes emerge, visual rhymes are made, and characters come and go while the reader is invited along for the journey. Hopper’s photographic output was especially concentrated in the ‘60s, a period in which his film career had cooled off. During these years Hopper’s primary creative outlet was his photography. The Nikon camera his wife Brooke Hayward gifted him hung so prominently around his neck that friends jokingly called him ‘the tourist.’ While In Dreams, which references Roy Orbison’s song by the same name made famous in Blue Velvet, includes appearances by famous faces, they are intimately intertwined with Hopper’s peripatetic life and his everyday use of the camera. Hopper was very much an insider — at ease with celebrities and artists of his day — but this new conversation with his archive shows that, like many photographers, Hopper was also distinctly an outsider. Famous himself, but also an observer: it’s this unique duality that allowed Hopper to view the world in his unique way.

This book provides an introduction to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions. It covers in full detail both the theoretical foundations and the experimental tests of the theory. Although the experimental chapters focus on recent measurements, the subject is placed into historical perspective by also summarizing the steps which lead to the formulation of QCD. Measurements are discussed as they were performed by the LEP experiments at CERN, orat hadron-hadron and lepton-hadron colliders such as the TEVATRON at Fermilab and HERA at DESY. Emphasis is placed on high energy tests of QCD, such as measurements of the strong coupling constant, investigations of the non-abelian structure of the underlying gauge group, determinations of nucleonstructure functions, and studies of the non-perturbative hadronization process. This excellent text gives a detailed overview of how QCD developed in the 20th century and where we stand with respect to a quantitative understanding after the turn of the millenium. The text is intended for graduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers, and includes numerous problems and solutions.

Half a century ago, young idealists dropped out of society and went “back to the land,” one of the largest urban-to-rural migrations in American history. Northern California became the movement’s epicenter, where utopian communes gave rise to radical, handbuilt, sometimes otherworldly homes. Handmade Utopia: Back-to-the-Land Architecture in Northern California traces those still committed to this way of life, capturing their buildings and the stories behind them at the tail end of a generation’s social experiment. Handmade Utopia travels through Northern California, along hidden dirt roads and into redwood forests, uncovering handmade homes concealed for decades. Schmelling’s photography documents these structures today, while Kramer’s oral histories with 38 back-to-the-landers recount how they came to be, complemented by archival materials, historical texts, and locally produced publications from the movement’s heyday. These pioneers taught themselves to farm, embraced alternative lifestyles, and developed architectural approaches that influenced broader building practices— through imaginative design, ecological materials, and energy efficiency. In pursuit of a different way of living, they rethought what a home could be. Only a few remained after the Summer of Love. Now in their seventies and eighties, they raise the question of what will remain. These homes were never constructed for their resale promise, anti-capitalistic to their foundations, and they are rapidly disappearing. Handmade Utopia presents them as artworks in their own right—captured before they are lost.
