<h3>News</h3>
<h4>Stephen Schneider, 1945--2010</h4>
<p class="mainText">The board and staff at Leonardo/ISAST were deeply saddened to learn of the unexpected death of <strong>Dr. Stephen Schneider</strong>, Stanford professor and noted climate change scientist, while en route to the U.K. from a scientific conference. Throughout his 40-year career, Schneider was outspoken about the need for an aggressive response to climate change and his belief that scientists’ involvement in advocacy was necessary and important to engage the public and improve their understanding of science and the environment. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/announcements/Stephen-Schneider-obit_August 2010.html">Find out more</a></p>
<h3>Global Warning Symposium 2010<br>Artists, Scientists and Environmental Activism</h3>
<h4>Art, Science and the Environment<br>From the Leonardo and LMJ Archives</h4>
<p class="mainText"><em>Leading up to the <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/2010symposium.html">Global Warning Symposium</a>, we will be publishing abstracts from papers that have been published in</em> Leonardo <em>and</em> LMJ <em>over the years on art, science and the environment. Many of these papers are available for free to current </em> Leonardo <em>and</em> LMJ <em> subscribers. Papers published before 2005 are available through the JSTOR digital archive.</em></p>
<p class="mainText"><strong>"Vanishing Landscapes: The Atlantic Salt Marsh" by Joseph Emmanuel Ingoldsby</strong><br>
ABSTRACT: The author, trained in art and landscape architecture, utilizes observation of nature and culture as a central focus in his art. The work involves research, scientific collaboration and examination, documentation, analysis and synthesis using art, science and technology for environmental advocacy. The focus for these works has been on the coastal landscape of New England, the imprint of humans on land and sea, and the impact of climate change on the marine landscape and fisheries of New England. [This paper was originally published in <em>Leonardo</em> Vol. 42, No. 2, 2009, and is currently available to <em>Leonardo</em> and <em>LMJ</em> subscribers through the MIT Press web site.] </p>
<p class="mainText"><strong>"The Ecological Imperative: Elements of Nature in Late Twentieth Century Art" by Aleksandra Manczak</strong><br>
ABSTRACT: The author draws attention to visual artworks of the 1980s and 1990s in which the artists, drawing upon diverse trends, disciplines and artistic generations, applied materials directly from the surrounding environment in pieces called eco-installations. The text attempts to explain certain creative postures and artistic decisions in the context of our advanced civilization---its achievements and threats alike. The eco-installations---subtle, subdued, gentle, fragile, fleeting, whose finite existence (like that of living organisms doomed to pass away) reflects the artists' own decisions---are in urgent need of identification, analysis and documentation. Among artists recognized in international circles, the author situates two Polish artists perhaps less well known than their colleagues. [This paper was originally published in <em>Leonardo</em> Vol. 35, Number 2, 2002, and is currently available to <em>Leonardo</em> and <em>LMJ</em> subscribers through the MIT Press web site.] </p>

<h3>Community</h3>
<h4>The Hybrid City as Interface<br>A YASMIN discussion July/September 2010</h4>
<p class="mainText">In the beginning of the 21st century, urban environments, within which

dynamics of this hybrid urban context for everyday life. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/announcements/YASMIN_HybridCity_July2010.html">Find out more</a></p>
<h3>Publications</h3>
<h4>LMJ 21 Call for Papers<br>
Beyond Notation: Communicating Music</h4>
<p class="mainText">Peer-to-peer file exchange, the iTunes store, MySpace, Pandora – by 2010
it's obvious that the Internet has radically transformed the economy and
culture of selling, distributing, owning and hearing recorded music.
Less discussed is the Web's impact on that part of music that used to be
called "the score" – instructions, suggestions and materials for
performing, rather than consuming, music. For Volume 21 of <strong>Leonardo Music Journal</strong> we solicit papers that address the impact of technological change on how we distribute instructions and materials for
musical performance. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/lmj/lmj21call.html">Find out more</a></p><p></p>
