“The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a feminist classic, a haunting critique of the isolation treatment for female hysteria wrapped up in a superb psychological horror story. Over a century later women are still battling gender bias in the treatment of mental illness. Here are 15 stories of very different women who have in common the fact that they are fighting for control of their worlds and of their minds. Traci Orsi's "Waiting for Jordan" finds Julia hallucinating at home when her husband is shipped off to Iraq. Leah Chaffin's "Last Caress" delves into the sad and savage story of a rare female serial killer while in "An Obedient Girl" Amy Bridges relates her experience as an average girl who has a singular experience with a lobotomized woman. Age, religion, motherhood, sex and work life are all explored in these gripping stories of women who remain Behind the Yellow Wallpaper, battling valiantly and sometimes viciously to break free by any means necessary. Each story is paired with original photographic art by Loreal Prystaj. Prystaj’s dark, gripping art evoke the same despair, fear, anger, hopelessness, heartache, and fight for survival that make up these extraordinary New Tales of Madness.

This report begins with an introduction on the ecological significance of an area located at the tip of the Greenwich Peninsula, Prince Edward Island National Park, along with its cultural history and a review of previous field studies of the area's plants. It then reviews materials & methods used in an inventory of vascular plants conducted in that area in summer 1998. The 293 species identified are inventoried for the following habitats found in the study area: sand dunes, forest, old agricultural fields, wetlands, and shorelines. For each habitat, information is provided on habitat characteristics, species diversity and abundance, floral status and origin, and plants not previously recorded in the province. The subsequent sections provide further detail on flora found for the first time in the province or in the study area; note species not found in the 1998 survey that were found in earlier surveys; discuss overall floral status, origin, and diversity; and suggest indicator species for monitoring ecological integrity of the study area. The concluding section makes recommendations for park zoning, protection of rare plants, park interpretation facilities, and further research. Appendices include species lists.

Presents findings of an inventory of vascular plants found in two areas of Prince Edward Island National Park. The investigators identified 272 species in sand dune, forest, wetland, and old field habitats. The inventory's survey methods are described and species observed are discussed with regard to habitat, abundance, and provincial conservation status designation. New flora not previously recorded, species absent in this survey but present in earlier surveys, and the overall floral status, origin, and diversity are then discussed. Finally, recommendations are made regarding park zoning, opportunities for preservation & conservation, monitoring ecological integrity, and further research.

English summary: This introductory work discusses paradigmatic forms of cooperation involving the fields of art history, art technology and conservation-restoration, thereby making this collaborative research accessible to both German- and English-speaking audiences for the first time. German description: In Museen, Universitaten, Forschungsinstituten, auf dem Kunstmarkt und in der Denkmalpflege arbeiten Kunsthistoriker: innen, Kunsttechnolog: innen und Restaurator: innen Hand in Hand. Sie teilen dabei das Interesse an Materialien und Materialitaten sowie die kultur- und naturwissenschaftliche Perspektive auf Objekte wie Gemalde, Skulpturen, Textilien u.v.m. Erstmals wird hier die Zusammenarbeit der Disziplinen veranschaulicht und fur den deutsch- und englischsprachigen Raum zuganglich gemacht. Die Beitrage von internationalen Fachleuten reichen von Objektanalysen mit einem Schwerpunkt in der Malerei bis hin zu Fragen nach dem praktischen Umgang mit kulturellem Erbe. Zum Teil dialogisch verfasste Beitrage aus renommierten Forschungsprojekten werden durch ein Begriffsglossar (z.B. zu Kunsttechnik, Material, Rezept, Stil) erganzt. So bietet der Band eine unverzichtbare Einfuhrung in Fallbeispiele und Grundbegriffe der kunstgeschichtlichen, kunsttechnologischen und restauratorischen Zusammenarbeit.
