A bedraggled young woman barges into a seemingly deserted Alaska cabin in the midst of a raging snowstorm, a frenzied look on her face, a torn, filthy wedding dress.

Longmen, a UNESCO World Heritage site located near the old capital of Luoyang in modern Henan Province, consists of thousands of ancient cave chapels and shrines containing Buddhist icons of all sizes that were carved into the towering limestone cliffs from the fifth to the eighth centuries. Beyond its superb sculpture, Longmen also preserves thousands of engraved dedicatory inscriptions by its donors, who included emperors and empresses, aristocrats, court eunuchs, artisans, monks, nuns, lay societies, female palace officials, male civil and military officials, and ordinary lay believers. Based on wide reading of both Asian and Western-language scholarship and careful analysis of the architecture, epigraphy, and iconography of the site, Amy McNair provides a rich and detailed examination of the dynamics of faith, politics, and money at Longmen, beginning with the inception of the site at Guyang Grotto in 493 and concluding with the last major dated project, the forty-eight Amitabhas added to the Great Vairocana Image Shrine in 730. Through her sensitive and well-informed exploration of Longmen's huge repository of remarkable early sculpture, McNair gives voice to a wide array of medieval believers, many of them traditionally excluded from history. Hers will be the definitive work on Longmen for years to come.

Imaginative studies of this sort are still rare in classical art history.' Dyson, author of Community and Society in Roman Italy 'A densely packed, meticulously documented work by a distinguished historian whose expertise ranges from Roman imagery to Andy Warhol, Portraiture discusses portraiture not primarily as an art form but rather as a significant reflection of individual and group personality features.' --American Library Association.

Photo Source: Kevin Thomas Garcia A bride appears in the middle of the night at a remote Alaskan cabin during a whiteout, rambling to the unresponsive man who lives there before she sinks gracefully to the floor. The moment has all of the hallmarks of a scene from a fairy tale, but there will be no happy ending to Cindy Lou Johnson's 'Brilliant Traces.' Nor will there be much in the way of dramatic conflict by the time this two-hander limps to its conclusion.
A revival of Johnson's 1989 play, this production accentuates the common flaws inherent in writing two-character plays. Runaway bride Rosannah (Erica Linderman) and hermit Henry Harry (William W. Warren) don't really have conversations; they trade monologues. Hp Officejet 6600 Driver Mac Os 10.4.
