Vagabond Stars: A World History of Yiddish Theater (Judaic Traditions in Literature, Music, & Art)by Nahma Sandrow
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book is the unusual blend of impeccable scholarship and hilarious backstage anecdote. The vividness of the book is enhanced by a collection of 125 rare illustrations- pictures of actors, scenes from plays and films, posters, newspaper cartoons, and other memorabilia. Book News Annotation:Proceedings of a May 1994 symposium held to present cutting edge
multidisciplinary work on the characterization of ancient materials;
the technologies of selection, production, and usage by which
materials are transformed into the objects and artifacts we find
today; the science underlying their deterioration, preservation, and
conservation; and sociocultural interpretation derived from an
empirical methodology of observation, measurement, and
experimentation. Over 70 contributions discuss topics that include
the visual appearance and the imitation of one material by another;
stable protective coatings and materials stability; resource
surveying, source characterization, and cultural implications; and
process reconstruction as essential to understanding of condition and
conservation.
