"This edited volume considers the many ways in which landscape (seen and unseen) is fundamental to place-making, colonial settlement, and identity formation. Collectively, the authors map a constellation of interlocking photographic histories and survey practices, decentering Europe as the origin of camera-based surveillance. The volume charts a conversation across continents -- connecting Europe, Africa, the Arab World, Asia, and the Americas. It does not segregate places, histories, and traditions, but rather puts them in dialogue with one another, establishing solidarity across national, linguistic, racial, religious, and ethnic borders, which are not fixed but always shifting within current geo-political contexts. Refusing the neat organization of survey photographs into national or imperial narratives, these essays celebrate the messy, cross-cultural reverberations of landscape over the past 170 years. Considering the visual, social, and historical networks in which these images circulate, this anthology connects the many entangled and political histories of photography in order to reframe survey practices and the multidimensionality of landscape as an international phenomenon. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, history of photography, and landscape history"--

"Twenty-six species of the beetle family Lampyridae, commonly known as fireflies, paapaskile'fi in the Shawnee language, have been identified in the water-worn hollows and foothills of Appalachian Ohio; nineteen communicate with bioluminescent courtship displays. These flash codes--which vary in color, pattern, and duration, and by habitat, hour of night, and time of season--appear for a brief moment on warm nights in late spring and summer, at the very end of a firefly's one- to two-year life cycle. Male fireflies broadcast their signals, which females see and respond to from discreet places; if she answers his call, they will mate, and she will lay eggs, before their deaths. I maintained a watch of these displays over four successive summers, from 2019 to 2022." "Recorded with an exposure ranging from several seconds to an hour ..."--Page 76.
