...developed from her dissertation at Yale. The book examines how the work of land artist Smithson “absorbed, transformed, and sometimes refused the historical traditions that it connected to,” Roberts said.

...appears as though China will have little difficulty surpassing its 15 percent renewable energy target by 2020, and will end up closer to 18 percent—between three and six percent more than the U.S. To give just one example, the so-called "Three Gorges of Wind" project??named after the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest—aims to produce 20 gigawatts of electricity by 2020, and is merely one of six similarly-sized projects currently in development.
