A spirited guide to the century-old diorama halls at Los Angeles' Natural History Museum, where habitats across the globe mergeThe diorama halls at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) are among the oldest in the world, captivating Angelenos and tourists alike for over a century. Its immersive habitats range from the windswept ice of Greenland's musk ox to the quiet bamboo forests of Kenya's bongo antelope. Fabricating Wilderness, a PST ART project, is the first book to explore the art, science and history of NHM's remarkable habitat groups. Drawing upon new research, this behind-the-scenes tour is illustrated by both contemporary photographs and archival images. It takes readers through the origin of dioramas and the turbulent early history of NHM's halls, while also introducing the gifted artists who painted picturesque background murals and meticulously recreated every natural detail. Even at 100 years old, the story of NHM's dioramas is not over.

Very few artists or managers have ready access to a copyright lawyer in their organization, or even know someone to turn to when questions arise. Intellectual Property for Producing Theatres outlines the core principles of copyright (and other protections that are often mistaken for copyright) to give the reader an understanding of the terminology and basis for each protection. In today's cultural atmosphere, new art increasingly borrows from preexisting work, references today's popular culture, or incorporates fact or rumor. This text aims to offer a strong basis of understanding to help the reader identify situations that require legal assistance, and prepare the reader with vocabulary and background knowledge so they can converse effectively with an expert. It traces the contours of what theatres absolutely can and cannot do, and offer examples and guidelines when operating in the grey area in between.
