"This volume charts the intersections between art history and art conservation in the treatment of Italian Renaissance paintings in nineteenth-century Europe. Initial chapters discuss the restoration of works by Giotto and Titian, framed by the contemporary scholarship of art historians such as Jacob Burckhardt, G. B. Cavalcaselle, and Joseph Crowe; later chapters recount how paintings conservation was integrated into institutional settings at the National Gallery in London under Charles Eastlake and at the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum in Berlin under Wilhelm Bode. Using period texts, unpublished archival materials, and historical photographs, the book proposes a new approach to conservation history, object-focused yet enriched by consideration of a wider cultural context"--

Beginning in the 1950s, alleged UFO sightings sparked tension between the Canadian government and its citizens. The public demanded investigation and disclosure while the state appeared unconcerned. In Search for the Unknown Matthew Hayes presents the first comprehensive history of UFO investigations in Canada.

The hydrogen Lyman-alpha line is of utmost importance to many fields of astrophysics. This UV line being conveniently redshifted with distance to the visible and even near infrared wavelength ranges, it is observable from the ground, and provides the main observational window on the formation and evolution of high redshift galaxies. Absorbing systems that would otherwise go unnoticed are revealed through the Lyman-alpha forest, Lyman-limit, and damped Lyman-alpha systems, tracing the distribution of baryonic matter on large scales, and its chemical enrichment. We are living an exciting epoch with the advent of new instruments and facilities, on board of satellites and on the ground. Wide field and very sensitive integral field spectrographs are becoming available on the ground, such as MUSE at the ESO VLT. The giant E-ELT and TMT telescopes will foster a quantum leap in sensitivity and both spatial and spectroscopic resolution, to the point of being able, perhaps, to measure directly the acceleration of the Hubble flow. In space, the JWST will open new possibilities to study the Lyman-alpha emission of primordial galaxies in the near infrared. As long as the Hubble Space Telescope will remain available, the UV-restframe properties of nearby galaxies will be accessible to our knowledge. Therefore, this Saas-Fee course appears very timely and should meet the interest of many young researchers.
