In Collapse, Phillip Wearne Tells The Stories Behind The Worst Structural Engineering Disasters Of The Last Fifty Years, And The Forensic Engineers Who Investigated Their Causes. PP Using Expert Testimonies From Scientific Investigators, Wearne Studies Eleven High-Profile Cases Of Catastrophic Structural Collapse, From The Hyatt Regency Hotel In Kansas City To The Hartford Civic Center In Connecticut To The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building In Oklahoma City. Sometimes These Disasters Have An Unpredictable Mechanical Cause, Such As The Miniscule Defect In The Metal Of One Eyebar Of The Point Pleasant Bridge On The Ohio River That Caused The Deaths Of Forty-Six People. Usually, Though, And More Alarmingly, The Causes Are Human. Mistakes, Oversights, Misunderstandings, Incompetence, Greed, And Corruption: Every Facet Of Human Failing Is Represented In The Stories Behind These Structural Collapses. PP The Investigation Of Such Failures By The Staff Of Agencies Such As The Failure Analysis Associates (Who Have Close To Two Thousand Investigations Ongoing At Any One Time) Is A Dirty And Dangerous Business. Wearne Follows These Men And Women As They Try To Discover The Causes Of Structural Disasters, Sifting Through The Layers Of Debris And Studying The Structure’s Original Designs, Plans, Drawings, And Computer Models. They Stage Reconstructions Of Virtual Buildings And Their Collapses And Await The Results As Vital Pieces Of Metal And Concrete Undergo Rigorous Scientific Tests. Their Conclusions Provide Essential Lessons For The Success Of Future Architectural And Engineering Projects. Wearne’s Study Not Only Takes Us Deep Inside The Increasingly Vital Industry Of Forensic Engineering, But Also Throws A Spotlight On A Group Of Professionals Who Share A Ruthless Determination To Root Out The Cause Of Any Structural Failure. PP Collapse Is Both A Compelling Story Of Survival And An Essential Tool For Deepening Our Understanding Of—And Readiness For—Catastrophe.”, Keywords: Structures, Structural Failures, Buildings, Building Failures, Structural Collapses, Building Collapses, Architecture, Engineering, CLN00089

R. A. Adeleye Power and Diplomacy in Northern Nigeria, 1804-1906: The Sokoto Caliphate and Its Enemies

This study, the most comprehensive yet attempted, uses French, Hausa, Arabic and English sources to unfold and analyse the internal and external influences behind the establishment of the Caliphate in the early nineteenth century, its uneasy relations with its neighbours and its ultimate conflict with and conquest by the British colonialists. PP The book falls easily into three sections. The first describes the founding of the Caliphate after the militant jihad of ‘Uthman dan Fodiye; the second deals with the gradual development of European hostility after the earlier friendly relations and trading and treaty agreements. The last section examines the insoluble conflict that arose from British insistence on domination on the one hand and implacable resistance to ‘infidel’ rule on the other, culminating in the epic pursuit and last stand of the Caliph Attahiru. The author seeks to show how the spirit of the Caliphate imposed an indelible stamp on the nature and extent of the changes wrought by imperialism and hints at how this influence survives, subtly yet significantly, in Nigeria today., Contents: Glossary, PART I THE CALIPHATE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY: I Introduction: The ' Uthman dan Fodiye jihad--The search for political entities--The growth of Islam--The scattered Jama' as--The place of the Fulani in the jihad, 2 The Establishment of the Sokoto Caliphate: The jihad in Gobir--Katsina, Kano and Daura—The jihad in Zaria--Bornu and the emirates on its western frontiers--The jihad in Gombe, Bauchi and Adamawa--The Gwandu emirates--The structure of the Caliphate: reformist ideas of state; the position and duties of the Caliph; the Caliph and the emirates, 3 Expansion and consolidation to c.1880: Rivalries within emirates--The role of the Caliph in settling emirate succession disputes--Undigested conquests--The outer frontiers--Pocket states within the Caliphate, 4 The Caliphate: elements of stability and instability, 1880-1900: Gwandu-Sokoto relations--Appointment of Emirs---Visits and tribute from the Emirs--Sokoto arbitration in inter- and intra-emirate disputes--Revolts against the Caliph's authority: the Bukhari revolt; the revolt of Yusuf--The Mahdist movement and revolts—The military preoccupation of the emirates, PART II RELATIONS WITH EUROPEANS DURING THE SCRAMBLE ERA: 5 Era of trade and treaties 1879-1894: The genesis of European rivalry on the Niger-Benue Waterways, 1879-84--European treaty relations with the riverain emirates, Gwandu and Sokoto, 1885-94---N.A.C. treaties with Sokoto and Gwandu, 1885—Nupe-N.A.C. relations, 1885-94--The R.N.C. and Lagos Government's relations with Ilorin, 1885-94—Trade and conflict on the Benue, 1884-94--Muri, 1884-93---Adamawa--Sokoto-R.N.C. relations, 1890-94—Conlusion, 6 Encirclement, diplomacy and hostility, 1894-1899: Unsettling news, 1894-95--1897, the year of dilemma for the Caliphate: the conquest of Nupe; the fall of Ilorin; Aftermath of the Nupe-Ilorin conquest--The lull before the storm, 1897-99--The expedition of Captain Marius Gabriel Cazemajou, 1898--A British Resident for Sokoto, 1898--R.N.C. relations with the riverain emirates up to 1899: Nupe and Ilorin; Muri and Adamawa; Bauchi and Gombe--The emirates on the northern frontiers and the French, 1899, PART III OVERTHROW OF THE CALIPHATE: 7 The fall of the southern emirates, Bauchi and Gombe, 1900-1902: Changing relations between the Caliphate and the British--Ilorin, Kontagora and Nupe—Adamawa--The invasion of Bauchi and the submission of Gombe--The occupation of Zaria, 8 The fall of Sokoto: Diplomatic relations between Sokoto and Lugard, 1900-02--Prelude to the Kano-Sokoto expedition: Magajin Keffi and the murder of Captain Moloney--The taking of Kano--The British occupation of Sokoto--The submission of Sokoto, 9 The final destruction of the Caliphate: The hijra of the Caliph Attahiru--The pursuit of the Caliph by British patrols--The first battle of Burmi--The pursuit of Attahiru resumed--The second battle of Burmi, 10 Aftermath, 1903-1906: The Hadejia revolt, 1906--Mahdist resurgence—The Satiru rebellion, Appendices: I Bornu-British treaty, II Sokoto-British treaty, III Letter from Caliph 'Abd al-Rahman to R.N.C. c.1899, IV Translation of Arabic version of Lugard's Proclamation of 1 January 1900, V Letter written by Lugard to the Caliph, 'Abd al- Rahman, March 1901, VI Letter from Lugard to the Caliph 'Abd al-Rahman, despatched 17 March 1902, VII Letter from the Caliph 'Abd al-Rahman to Lugard received about early May 1902, VIII Letter from the Caliph 'Abd al-Rahman to Lugard, received 28 May 1902, Notes on Sources, Bibliography, Index, Keywords: Nigeria, Northern Nigeria, Sokoto Caliphate, West Africa, British Colonialism, Imperialism, History, CLN00495

Because he weighed only a little more than a hundred pounds (on five-foot-eight-inch frame) at that time, he was rejected by The Little Fork Rangers, the Madison County troop, the Goochland County Dragoons, and the Prince William County troop. Stringfellow decided he would try the Powhatan Troop (Company E of the Fourth Virginia Cavalry). To make his point, he went to the area where the company was in bivouac, captured three pickets at gunpoint, and marched them to the tent of the Company Commander. Telling the Commander that he could do the same to the Yankees, he finally convinced the authorities that he had something to offer and was sworn into Confederate service on May 28, 1861. This began a remarkable career for Frank Stringfellow., Keywords: Stringfellow, Fourth, Confederate, Spy, Civil War, CLN00462

Ralph Steadman Still Life with Bottle: Whisky According to Ralph Steadman

PP Asked to create a book on malt whisky and its ways, Ralph Steadman embraced the subject with characteristic passion and zeal. What resulted from this initial foray was a fascination for an industry rich in folklore, steeped in mysterious tales as dark as peat, and, even more so, for the magical liquid that it produces. And so he embarked on the whisky trail. PP Traveling the length and breadth of Scotland and its islands, Ralph Steadman visited distillers whose nose for the nuances of every inhalation brings them as close as a human being will ever get to emulating the homing instinct of a salmon. He looks at the art of blending and the craft of cooperage, at the skill required to choose just the right amount of peat to fire a kiln, and at the cunning needed to smuggle an illicit dram in a pair of wellington boots past a watchman. The truly great whiskies are here, but also the more unexpected finds which Steadman makes along the way. PP What really distinguishes this book, however, is its author's inimitable eye and unique approach to the subject. He also charts the wild days of smuggling and the indelible mark they left on the character of whisky distilling; he considers the element of alchemy involved when the dents in a pot still are so important that they are replicated in each new one that is made; and he explores the origins of distilling in an intriguing jaunt through prehistory. PP Informed and irreverent at the same time, Still Life with Bottle approaches its subject with the knowledge and passion of its creator for the magnificent human achievement that is malt whisky., Contents: Introduction: The Making of Whisky, PREWHISKERY: Ever since man learned to fashion a vessel that would not leak, he has sought to learn the secret of the vapours that would turn to intoxicating nectar...: Peru/Nazca; Cave Paintings; Aborigines; Sumerians; Ceylon, Indonesia, India; Maya; Egypt; Greeks and Romans; Dark Ages; Persians; Alchemy; Wales; Phoenecians, Druids; Celts, WHISKERY: By coracle from Ireland they came ...: The Regions; Culloden; Glenturret; Royal Brackla; Peat; Glenrothes; Copper, Stills and Mash; Glen Ord; Cooperage; Bowmore; Malting; Jura; The Keepers of the Quaich; Blending ; Highland Park; Ardbeg; Laphroaig; Smugglers of Terse and Ruthless Pedigree; Smuggling; The Edradour; Tamdhu; Aberfeldy; Glen Garioch; Fettercairn; Glenlivet; Tasting, Index, Keywords: Whisky, Whiskey, Beverages, Adult Beverages, Booze, Liquor, Alcohol, Drinking, Imbibing, CLN00547, Shipping: Media Mail OK, Will Fit In Flat-Rate Envelope But Without Protective Bubble Wrap, Please Email Re Priority Or International Shipping

The Pedagogy of Moral Education, 7. Moral Education for the United States, 8. Moral Education for Natalene Turner, 9. Moral Education for The Force, 10. Implications, Selected Bibliography, Index, From Introduction: This book tries to help solve a profound problem that has emerged in the United States since the middle of this century: the widening and deepening decline of the control of our behavior toward one another. The piece of the solution presented here is a conception of moral education. This conception, developed through a method that means to be dialogical in spirit even if not in form, is discussed at the practical as well as the theoretical level. PP Since World War II, the regulation of conduct in the United States has become problematic. This condition, which has been recognized for some time by ordinary citizens as well as social commentators, is suggested by familiar facts: soaring crime rates; the enormous growth in illegitimate births; a decline of concern for the public good along with a huge increase in regard for special and individual interests; a growing preference for fame, fortune, and power along with an absence of a sense of shame; gross immoral acts by public figures; and the fascination of people and the media with spectacles of evil. The troubled control of social behavior in the nation is suggested also by the fact that our society has no commonly accepted set of standards by which to comport ourselves. The nation today is a bazaar of competing normative principles, running from those of extreme individualism to those of cultural pluralism, communal unity, and divine will. To be sure, the United States has suffered serious normative lapses during much of its history. Widespread drunkenness, child labor, slavery, the unequal treatment of women, the destruction of native societies, entrepreneurial greed and fraud, lynchings, political corruption, and gangsterism are only some of the most notable episodes. Moreover, some of these episodes occurred in clusters, thereby threatening the normative fabric of the nation. Perhaps America will survive its present values crisis; it certainly got through the ones in the past. We might even survive the current situation just by muddling along and hoping for improvement. It would make more sense, however, if we tried doing something to help strengthen the nation's normative structure. PP One thing we will do well to try is to formulate a character education for Americans. Standards that regulate only under the threat of force are not very effective. What are needed are standards that will become internal to Americans, that will become a part of ourselves. People will follow given norms as a matter of course only if they are habituated to follow them and if they appreciate them. Habits of following the standards constitute a basis for regularity, and appreciation for the norms reinforces the regularity and guards it from challenges. While norm-shaped habits and appreciations for standards of conduct are rather different from one another, they are major elements of character and have to be learned. PP But what action guides should American character education involve? Interpersonal conduct is subject to various kinds of norms: cultural, social, civic, and moral. While we ultimately would have to identify all four types of principles and rules as the basis of a complete character education for Americans, we will presently assume the more manageable project of locating norms of only one sort. Those we will seek are moral standards, that is, the values, rights, duties, and virtues that pertain to people as moral beings. They are superior to cultural, social, and civic principles in that they may serve as criteria for ultimately overriding the latter, and in that none of the latter may serve as criteria for ultimately overriding the former. By restricting our inquiry to moral standards, we will in effect be looking for a basis of moral character. Hence, the character education we intend to recommend for Americans will be a moral education. PP We do not mean to conceive just any set of moral norms; we hope to formulate one that is defensible on rational grounds. In other words, the principles to be sought and the method to be used will be consistent with the canons of reason at the level of practice as well as that of theory., Keywords: Education, Moral Education, Moral Conditions, Moral Agency, Morality, Norms, Behavior, Conduct, America, United States, CLT00296

Robert Richter Linus Pauling, Crusading Scientist
No Insert, Very Good/Very Good 1977 Original Release Richter Productions DVD, 883629665511, DVD Few Light Surface Imperfections, Case Usual Light Rubbing/Scuffing/Back 1 Each Very Small Indent/Nick, Per Amazon (Info Not On Back Cover): DVD Release Date: January 15, 2009, NTSC, All Regions, Run Time: 57 Minutes, From Back Cover: Pauling is the only person to have ever received two unshared Nobel Prizes, universally considered as the greatest honor any person or group can receive. PP The film traces his unique achievements as both scientist and peace crusader. Pauling enthusiastically describes events leading to his Nobel Chemistry award as innovative footage depicts his research into the structure of matter and his race against Watson and Crick for the profoundly important discovery of the Double Helix. His disputed Vitamin C crusade is also frankly depicted. PP Pauling was one of America’s most controversial figures when he led the 1960s Ban the Bomb campaign. It led to the Nobel Prize for Peace, announced on the day President John Kennedy signed the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. PP The film is both a warm, personal biography and a scientific adventure through some of the most compelling moments of the last century. It is about a genuine American original, an inspiration to students, activists and anyone interested in learning about an extraordinary human being., Keywords: Linus Pauling, Peace, Nobel Chemistry Award, Matter, Double Helix, Vitamin C, Ban The Bomb Campaign, Nobel Peace Prize, Science, DVD, NCAZDVD00102

The books in the series are all major contributions to the rewriting of the intellectual and material histories of socio-cultural life from the sixteenth century to the present day. They articulate or facilitate the exploration of those new 'post-theoretical' positions, developed both inside and outside the anglophone world - inside and outside 'western' theory - which are pertinent to a contemporary world order. PP Postmodern Wetlands explores the representation of wetlands (swamps, marshes, etc.) in western culture. For many, wetlands are a place of disease and horror often associated with the melancholy and the monstrous; in short, they are 'black waters'. Yet, ecologically, wetlands are vitally important for human and other life on earth: they are 'living' waters. The aim of this book is to produce a cultural critique of wetlands as both living and black waters. PP Drawing on a wide range of disciplines and methodologies, the book analyses wetlands in relation to aesthetics and philosophy, cities and human psychology, mythology and narrative and medical, military, social and conservation history. It discusses these issues using examples across a variety of genres and making reference to British, American and Australian wetlands. Original and incisive, this book is not only the first to apply extensively post-structuralist, post-colonial and French feminist theory to an environmental issue, it reconsiders the 'project of modernity' in the light of a new conservation ethic for the preservation and rehabilitation of living black waters., Contents: List of Illustrations, Part I Aesthetics and the Wetlandscape: Chapter1 Introduction: Where Land and Water Meet; The Black Waters of Wetlands; The Picturesque Swamps?; Modern Mudfog to Postmodern White Noise; Modern Wasteland to Postmodern Wetland; The Dead-straight Line; Flowing or Stagnant Water?, Chapter 2 Philosophy in the Wetlands: The S(ub}lime and the Uncanny: In the Slime with Dante and on the Sublime with Longinus; On the Sublime and Beautiful with Kant and Burke; On the Uncanny and Sublimation with Freud; In the Slime with Sartre; In the Swamp with Eagleton, Part II Cities and Swamps: Chapter3 A Modern City and its Swamp Sett(l}ing: Decolonising Perth's Wetlands: Founding a Settlement in a Swamp; Mapping the City and the Swamps; Decolonising Wetlands, Chapter 4 The World/Womb as Wetland, the Modern City as Cultural Symptom and the Postmodern City as Swamp: City Symptoms; The Swamp Strikes Back; The Return of the Colonial and Uterine Repressed, Part III Bogs and Bodies: Chapter 5 Swamp Sickness: Marsh Miasma and Bodily Effluvia: Malaria, Miasma and the Swamp of the Bora; Bad Airs, Black Waters, Unhealthy Places; Rotten Airs, Putrid Waters, Unhealthy Fens; The Great Dismal, the Black and other American Swamps; Stagnant Pools and the Sanitary Movement, Chapter 6 The Nether Regions: Sexuality, the Gendered Body and the Swamps of the Great Mother/Earth: The Swamp of the Shadow of Death; The Bowels of the Earth, the Kidneys of the Environment or the Placenta of the Great Mother/Earth?; The Swamp as Hell; The Great Mother, Part IV Minds and Marshes: Chapter 7 The Melancholic Marshes and the Slough of Despond: The Psycho(eco)logy of Swamps: The Elements and the Humours; The Great Dismal Swamp; The Slough of Despond and the Grim Domains of Giant Despair; The Melancholic Tarn, Chapter 8 Marsh Monsters and Swamp Serpents: Horror of Horrors: Grim and Greedy Creatures of Swamps and Marshes; The Swamp as Monster; The Dredger as Monster; The (Swamp) Thing; The Snake Goddess; The 'Rainbow Serpent' and Living Black Waters, Part V Politics and Wetlands: Chapter 9 Rebels and Runaways: The Wetland as Refuge and Site of Resistance: The Fens and Other English Marshes; The Great Dismal, the Black and Other American Swamps; The Mekong Delta, the Plain of Reeds and the Vietnam War, Chapter10 Conclusion: Writing a Word for Wetlands: Henry David Thoreau: Patron Saint of Swamps; Sidney Lanier and the Alchemy of Wetlands; John (Muir) of the Swamps; Aldo Leopold and a Wetlands Almanac; Seamus Heaney and Irish Bogs, Bibliography, Index, Keywords: Wetlands, Postmodern Wetlands, Black Waters, Swamps, Bogs, Bodies, Marshes, Fens, Ecology, CLT00315

Rosemary Ashton The German Idea: Four English Writers and the Reception of German Thought, 1800-1860

Four important British authors - Coleridge, Carlyle, G. H. Lewes and George Eliot – emerge as central to the reception, understanding and diffusion of German ideas during the period. PP Dr Ashton begins with Coleridge, who, though discouraged by publishers, reviewers and friends, did much to combat the conventional notion of German literature (established in the 1790s in parodies of German literature) as dangerously immoral and willfully abstruse. Nevertheless his translation of Schiller's Wallenstein was not well received and he was dissuaded from translating Goethe's Faust because he feared attacks from the critics on the grounds of immorality. It was Carlyle who took up the cudgels and who, in a series of translations and authoritative, proselytizing essays, succeeded in attracting serious attention to German subjects, particularly Goethe. Lewes and George Eliot were two of the most important thinkers of a Victorian generation which inherited a positive Anglo-German culture created largely through the efforts of Coleridge and Carlyle. In their translations and reviews they continued the work of enlightening readers about the imaginative depth and range of German literature, philosophy and higher criticism of the Bible. PP Dr Ashton discusses how these four authors contributed to the spread of significant and influential German thought against a background of uninformed opinion and prejudice prevalent amongst readers, reviewers, publishers and editors of the time. In so doing, she has thrown a good deal of light on an important aspect of the history of nineteenth-century thought and increased our knowledge of the intellectual activities of four major British authors of the period., CONTENTS: Introduction, I Coleridge: Coleridge and Germany (1794-1800), Coleridge and Kant (1801-25), Coleridge and German 'aesthetics' (1802-18), Coleridge and Faust (1814-20), 2 Carlyle: Carlyle, the Germanist of the Edinburgh Review (1827), Carlyle and Goethe (1822-32), Carlyle and German philosophy (1824-34), Sartor Resartus, a beginning and an end (1830-4), 3 G.H.

Roslyn Weiss Socrates Dissatisfied: An Analysis of Plato's Crito

Very Good(-)/No DJ Ex Library 1998 Oxford University Press 1st Printing Hardback, ISBN 0195116844, 187 + xii pgs, Withdrawn Ex Library/Usual Stamps/Marks/Etc., Little Cocked, Corners Lightly Bumped/Worn, Overall Nice Dark Blue Boards/Spine/Silver Gilt/Front Small Marked Out Barcode Sticker/1 Very Small Light Discoloration/1 Light Scuff/Spine Top/Bottom Little Bumped/Pressed In, Page Tops Library Name/City Stamp/Tops/Outsides Red Withdrawn Stamp Else Page Edges Nice, Back Fly Small Pencil 658 Else Inside Tight + Very Nicely Clean Like Little Used/Read, Amazon Product Description: In this book, Roslyn Weiss contends that, contrary to prevailing notions, Plato's Crito does not show an allegiance between Socrates and the state that condemned him. Denying that the speech of the Laws represents the views of Socrates, Weiss deftly brings to light numerous indications that Socrates provides to the attentive reader that he and the Laws are not partners but antagonists in the argument and that he is singularly unimpressed by the case against escaping prison presented by the Laws. Weiss's greatest innovation is her contention that the Laws are very much like the judges who preside at Socrates' trail--interested not in justice and truth but in being shown deference and submission. If Weiss's argument is correct, then the standard conception of the history of political thought is in error--political philosophy begins not with the primacy of the state over the citizen but with the affirmation of the individual's duty to act in accordance with his own careful determination of what justice demands., Contents: 1 Introduction: A Dissatisfied Socrates, 2 Remaining at the Station: Justice and Philosophy, Authority and Law, Gods and The God, Athens, Proper Conduct in Court, The Penalties, Hades, 3 Running the Risk for Friendship: Crito as Socrates' Friend; The Unphilosophical Crito; Crito's Conception of the Just, the Brave, and the Shameful; Crito's Questionable Morality; Crito's Manner of Addressing Socrates, 4 The Philosophical Argument against Escape: Socrates' Procedure for Solving Moral Questions, Socrates' Moral Principles, Socrates' Argument against Escape, Socrates as Crito's Friend, 5 Especially an Orator: Protecting Crito, The Laws as Rhetoricians, The Citizen's Agreement, 6 Whatever We Bid: The City as Parent and Master, The Argument from Agreement, Escape Will Benefit No One, 7 The Corybantic Cure: The Corybantic Metaphor, Why Crito Would Speak in Vain, The Way the God Is Leading, 8 A Fool Satisfied: Engaging Crito, Benefiting Crito, Protecting the Reader, 9 • Restoring the Radical Socrates, Bibliography, Index, Keywords: Plato, Crito, Socrates, Obedience, Law, Philosophy, Justice, Escape, Morality, CLN00381

It tells how the caveman looked with curiosity at the wonders of the world, what is happening now to human eyes, and what may possibly happen to them when we launch into space on the next stage of life’s journey from the sea to the stars….” And “ The sea lay everywhere. PP Somewhere, just below the surface in the warm, filtered green sunshine, a microscopic, single-celled creature swayed with the waters. It floated in a beautiful forest of threadlike algae, from which it was not far removed in structure, but of which it was totally unaware except when heavier patches masked the light. PP This speck of life belonged to the group known as Flagellata, of the phylum Protozoa, which are generally supposed to be the first form of animal life to appear on our world. The flagellata possessed certain parts called organelles, among them being a mouth aperture and a refractive globule, or so-called eyespot. It is likely, however, that not only this eyespot but the entire body was sensitive to light, although all that it “saw” was a patternless glow from above; it had a sensitivity (heliotropism, a turning toward or away from light) like that of the early plants. Such sensitivity to light was not real sight, but might be termed a first step toward it, showing that light falling on a living thing could make it do something.”, Keywords: Eyes, Sight, Vision, Flagellata, Protozoa, CLT00129

Among the most beloved of garden flowers, the tulip is possibly the only flower in history to have inspired mass hysteria: seventeenth-century Holland experienced the infamous tulipomania craze, when speculation in tulip bulbs raged out of control for several years. Although sanity eventually returned to the tulip market, tulip lovers worldwide have remained steadfast in their admiration of this splendid flower. PP Tulips is a magnificent oversize volume that celebrates the tulip in all its splendor. Featuring more than 75 glorious color photographs, Tulips is a visual feast for tulip fanciers. A brief introduction invites readers to contemplate the history of the tulip, from its origins in the Middle East, where it was revered as an emblem of love, through the madness of the Dutch tulipomania to the tulip's present-day worldwide popularity as a harbinger of spring. The photographs that follow, shot by top garden photographers, offer breathtakingly beautiful images of many different varieties of tulips at every stage of bloom. Each image is accompanied by a snippet of verse or prose celebrating the beauty of the spring garden and the tulip's special place in it. PP Within these pages, tulip lovers are sure not only to find old favorites but also to come across new varieties to fall in love with. Admire the brilliant orange and red 'Keizerskroon', which dates back to 1750; discover the delicate blush of 'Apricot Beauty'; and marvel at the dramatic color of 'Black Parrot', its dark petals dappled with dew. The glorious bright yellow 'Monte Carlo', the pure white 'Diana', and green-striped Tulipa viridiflora 'Green River' are just a few of the beautiful blossoms that are pictured in Tulips. PP With its gorgeous photographs and words of praise for the blooms of spring, Tulips cannot fail to delight., Keywords: Tulips, Flowers, Nature, Gardening, CLN00449, Shipping: Too Big To Fit Into Flat Rate Envelope, Please Email For Priority Or International Mail

In Romances of the Republic, Shirley Samuels examines revolutionary rhetoric from the 1790s through the 1850s primarily in novels, but also in poems, pamphlets, political cartoons, and sermons, produced by such figures as Mason Weems, Charles Brockden Brown, Catherine Sedgwick, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Lydia Maria Child, and James Fenimore Cooper. Samuels moves from the intersection of national values and family conflicts in the early American Novel through dramas about the Revolutionary war to the violence on the frontier and in slavery. Debates about slavery and national identity, Samuels argues, insist on the involvement of domesticity and political concerns. As the historical romance dramatically reshaped sexual and familial accounts of national identity, questions of political and national identity became attached to female bodies, and a national subject formed around the coordination of citizenship and family ideology., Contents: Introduction: The Family, the State, and the Novel in the Early Republic, 1 Plague and Politics in 1793: Arthur Mervyn, 2 Wieland: Alien and Infidel, 3 The Family in the Novel: Cooper and the Domestic Revolution, 4 Monuments and Hearths, 5 Generation Through Violence: The Making of Americans, 6 The Identity of Slavery, Notes, Bibliography, Index, Keywords: Romances, American Republic, Early America, Women, Family, Violence, Novels, Historical Fiction, Literature, CLN00505

It was along the energetic waterways of the Northeast that the Industrial Revolution cut its teeth, there that real manufacturing initially occurred, that goods, produced on native soil, were first distributed in substantial quantities. There, in short, that the modern corporation was conceived. PP This fascinating, generously illustrated and extensively documented study presents the full scope of that phenomenon by concentrating on its single most powerful and successful manifestation: the textile mill. This was America's first integrated industry, so immense in its concentration that in 1832, of 106 manufacturing concerns in the United States with assets of over $100,000, a full 88 were listed as textile companies. PP The problems of the development, the immense and rapid growth, and the slow and ostensibly irreversible decay of these mills provide the focus of Dunwell's story. How did the industry start? And how did it progress from its proud initiation in a Philadelphia July Fourth Parade in 1788 to its depressing finale: the mills abandoned, the region depressed, the industry collapsed? What, finally, were the real costs, both financial and human, which the mills extracted? PP Dunwell's survey is divided into two sections. The first, replete with 250 photographs and sketches from a wide variety of sources, gives an historical overview, a concentrated history of the textile mill in New England from the early developments in native technology to the final abandonment of the region. The second examines the living remnants of the industry; Dunwell spent hours in contemporary mill towns interviewing mill workers and their families and photographing them in their homes. Here he presents the people who are still working in mills--their memories, their hopes, their endurance. His stance is neither critical nor supportive; he provides an accurate, and therefore poignant, document of the few who still survive and still remember. PP This study will fascinate anyone interested in our common heritage. It is more than an examination of a single and regional industry. For in the rise, the success, and the ultimate failure of the New England textile mill, we can read with consistent clarity and in too human terms the story of American capitalism, both of the excitement and opportunity it could provide and of the destruction and human misery it could produce., Contents: PART I: AS IT WAS -- THE STORY: I. Birth of the American Mill (1700-1820), II. Utopia, Inc. (1814-1845), III. Adolescence (1820-1860), IV. Mature Industry (1860-1920), V. Senescence (1900-1975), PART II: AS IT IS -- THE LEGACY: VI.

Some are from everyday experience: Why do immigrants struggle with a new language, only to have their fluent children ridicule their grammatical errors? Why can’t computers converse with us? Why is the hockey team in Toronto called the Maple Leafs, not the Maple Leaves? Some are from popular science: Have scientists really reconstructed the first language spoken on earth? Are there genes for grammar? Can chimpanzees learn sign language? And some are from our deepest ponderings about the human condition: Does out language control our thoughts? How could language have evolved? Is language deteriorating? PP Today laypeople can chitchat about black holes and dinosaur extinctions, but their curiosity about their own speech has been left unsatisfied—until now. In The Language Instinct, Steven Pinker, one of world’s leading scientists of language and the mind, lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about language: how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how the brain computes it, how it evolved….”, Other Contents Available Upon Request, Please Email, Keywords: Language, Languages, CLN00058

Kept in solitary confinement after her parents’ brutal execution during the Terror, she had been unaware of the fate of her family, save the cries she heard of her young brother being tortured in an adjacent cell. PP She emerged to an uncertain future: an orphan, exile, and focus of political plots and marriage schemes of the crowned heads of Europe. Throughout, she remained stubbornly loyal to France and to the Bourbon dynasty of which she was part. However, the horrors she had witnessed and been a victim to would haunt her for the rest of her life. PP Many believe to this day that the traumatized princess was switched with her “half-sister” and spirited away to live as “the Dark Countess,” leaving the impostor to play her role on the political stage of Europe. Now, two hundred years later, using handwriting samples, DNA testing, and a cache of Bourbon family letters, Susan Nagel finally solves this mystery. PP Nagel tells a remarkable story of an astonishing woman, from her birth in front of rowdy crowds at Versailles, to her upbringing by doting parents, through to Revolution, imprisonment, exile, Restoration, and, finally, her reincarnation as saint and matriarch., Keywords: Marie-Therese, Marie-Therese Charlotte, Duchesse D’Angouleme, France, History, French History, Royalty, French Royalty, Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, CLN00147

De donde vienen y que las caracteriza? Cual es la razon para que sus mitos sigan vigentes en el mundo actual? Por que sus representaciones perviren en nuestra imaginacion, nos seducen y al mismo tiempo nos asustan? Este ensayo nos muestra la evolucion de esos poderosos y enigmaticos arquetipos femeninos, desde la antiguedad hasta los albores de la civilizacion moderna, a traves de mitos, leyendas y obras literarias, para desentranar un misterio aun mas profundo: el origen del temor que el hombre siente frente a la mujer. A traves del tiempo, la idea de lo femenino se ha asociado a lo oscuro, peligroso, incomprensible e irracional. Incluso en nuestros dias, esa imagen se mantiene bajo otras formas y penetra la vida cotidiana de hombres y mujeres que se debaten en un pulso constante de emociones, actos y pensamientos opuestos. Las historias fascinantes de este libro sorprenderan a los lectores de ambos sexos e inevitablemente los hara pensar de otra manera sobre su propia esencia., Keywords: Diosas, Brujas, Vampiresas, Hechiceras, Arquetipos Femeninos, Hombres, Mujeres, CLN00431

PP Kama (love/sex) and religion are two sides of the same coin is depicted with great candor in the great Hindu epics. Manifestation of erotic tradition in explicit sculptures is carved on ancient Hindu temples spread all across India. PP This book, Kamasutra, dwells on the third purusharthas,viz. Kama or sexual pleasure that is central to the evolution of the mankind. Here the law states that a sexual intercourse should be more than just an action to procreate – maximum pleasure should be derived from it. Kamasutra was first brought to light and translated into English by Sir Richard Burton in 1889. If it weren’t for his efforts, this incredible work of literature would have been lost to the world., Contents: Life of a Citizen, Love Making, Courtship, Marriage, Other Men’s Wives, Courtesans, Love Potions, Keywords: Kamasutra, Sex, Love, Kama, India, Hindu, Erotica, Purusharthas, Sexual Pleasure, Courtesan, Love Potions, CLN00402

Three R's of Global Education, BIBLIOGRAPHY, SOURCE NOTES, NAME INDEX, SUBJECT INDEX, PREFACE: The subject of global interdependence has become a frequent topic of reports and discussions among journalists, commentators, politicians and scholars in recent years. Indeed, there appears to be an increasing awareness among these opinion leaders--and the people in general--about the phenomena of global interdependence which envelop us in every aspect of our lives, from international trade to development assistance, from armed conflicts to clashes of cultures, and from tastes and life-styles to environmental problems. While such an awareness is encouraging, there appears to be a critical gap in the current debate about global interdependence when it comes to developing a systematic analysis of what global interdependence means for individuals and societies entangled in the network of complex connections and linkages with other individuals and societies. PP This work represents one effort to fill this gap and attempts to develop a systematic analysis of the question of what global interdependence means for the individual and society. Analyzing this question is important for the individual because the task of establishing autonomy and identity for each individual has become quite an undertaking as the space of human development has dramatically expanded, thanks to the development of transportation and communications technologies. The question is also important for society not only because it, too, must concern itself with the issues of autonomy and identity but also because it is confronted with the enormous challenge of maintaining coherence and viability as a system amidst unpredictable forces of change over which it has little control. PP Throughout the book concepts, ideas and theories from a variety of social and systems sciences will be employed to analyze the nature and implications of INTERDEPENDENCE AND CHANGE IN THE GLOBAL SYSTEM. A multi-disciplinary approach is essential in dealing with this subject because the world, as we see it, is an interdependent system among individuals, groups, organizations, communities, nations and nation-states, interacting with one another in a complicated web of actions, reactions, and repercussions. Since the subject we deal with is a complicated one, the book will tread over many terrains--history of science, epistemology, aesthetics, human development, economic development, political philosophy, social ethics, international relations, and global education. The main point of our analysis is that all these things are indeed related to one another in the world of global interdependence. PP The book is thematically divided into six parts. Our journey into the world of global interdependence begins in part one with a review of the history of science. While the rational and reductionistic approach to knowledge acquisition as originated by Descartes has dramatically expanded the body of our knowledge of the world around us, that body of knowledge lacked coherence and unity until the emergence of systems approach in this century. Interpreted in the context of human development, what started out as the rational and reductionistic approach of Western science is now compatible with the intuitive and holistic tradition of the Eastern approach to knowledge acquisition. Part two examines how societies go about reconciling individual autonomy on the one hand and social order on the other. While every society is a cybernetic system in the sense that some degree of steering and control is involved, the influence the government has over the course of societal evolution gets diluted in liberal democratic societies as they are subject to several types of dysfunctions. Maintaining coherence amidst unpredictable forces of change, of which some originate in other societies, is an important challenge faced by every society. Part three examines this problem in the context of society's commitment to economic, technological and political development. Part four analyzes how the forces of social change, in the world of global interdependence, undermine the sovereignty of nation-states, erode the effectiveness of domestic policies and regulations, and necessitate the transformation of human systems. Part five looks into the problem of coordination and harmonization of laws, policies and value systems among societies operating in the world of global interdependence. The need for coordination and harmonization arises because culture, economy and polity cannot escape the fundamental conflict among themselves as subsystems of social systems. The book's journey into the world of global interdependence concludes in part six where the discussion returns to the theme of human development. While laws, policies and value systems can be coordinated and harmonized, the ultimate burden of maintaining coherence and viability of the world as a system falls on the individual who must cultivate consciousness about the necessity of reconciling the two realities of human existence--man as an individual and man as a species., Keywords: Interdependence, Global System, Global Interdependence, International Relations, Harmonization, Individual, Society, Autonomy, Integration, CLN00329

Some Of Them Were Founded In The 1870s And 1880s, And There May Still Be A Few Which Antedate The Civil War. The Modern American In Search Of Local Color Regards These Anachronisms In Present-Day Chain-Store Glitter And Commercial Rivalry As Sources Of Antique Merchandise, Antiquated Human Relics, And Rural Wit And Wisdom. Newspaper Feature Writers Stalk These Veterans For Stories For Nostalgic Readers Of Sunday Supplements. The Square Box Front, Narrow Front Porch, Rusting Signs, And Pungent Smells All Represent What Most People Believe Was A Better Day. PP Fewer Visitors Now Have The Background Knowledge And Experience To Get A View Of The Past From Littered Counters, Shelves Of Disarranged Merchandise, And Cluttered Walls. The Country Store In A Way Was Far More Symbolic Of The Southern Way Of Rural Life Than Were Other Institutions. Even The Church And School Were Often Administered As Much From The Store As From Their Own Buildings. The Storekeeper Was All Things To His Community. He Served As A School Trustee, Deacon Or Steward, Railway Agent, Fertilizer Salesman, Social Adviser, Character Reference, Politician, Lodge Master, And General Community Obliger. His Store Was The Hub Of The Local Universe. It Was Market Place, Banking And Credit Source, Recreational Center, Public Forum, And News Exchange. There Were Few Aspects Of Farm Life In The South After 1870 Which Were Uninfluenced By The Country Store. PP In A Light And Romantic Vein The Southern Country Store Was A Place Where The Countryman Made Contacts With Industrial And Commercial America. It Was His Refuge In Time Of Trouble, The Source Of His Pleasures, A Place To Hear A Favorite Candidate Speak, And A Point Of Departure For All His Travels. Here It Was That He Bought His First Long Pants, Drank His First Liquor, Compared Notes On His Romance With A Local Belle, Bought A Postage Stamp, A Coffin, A Wagon, A Necktie, A Can Of Sardines, Or A Pistol….And So On For 3 ½ More Pages, Keywords: South, Southern Country Store, American History, Americana, Nostalgia, Southern History, CLN00202

These concepts are presented so that computer scientists and biomedical scientists can obtain the necessary background for developing better algorithms and applying parallel computational methods. This book will enable both groups to develop the depth of knowledge needed to work in this interdisciplinary field. PP This work focuses on high performance computational approaches that are used to perform computationally intensive biological sequence analysis tasks: pairwise sequence comparison, multiple sequence alignment, and sequence similarity searching in large databases. These computational methods are becoming increasingly important to the molecular biology community allowing researchers to explore the increasingly large amounts of sequence data generated by the Human Genome Project and other related biological projects. The approaches presented by the authors are state-of-the-art and show how to reduce analysis times significantly, sometimes from days to minutes…., CONTENTS: 1 INTRODUCTION: 1.1 The Human Genome Project: 1.1.1 Origin, 1.1.2 Goals, 1.1.3 Benefits, 1.2 Informatics: 1.2.1 Data management, 1.2.2 Data analysis, 1.3 Summary, 2 BIOLOGICAL BACKGROUND: 2.1 Introduction, 2.2 Types of biological sequences, 2.3 DNA extraction and amplification: 2.3.1 Preparation, 2.3.2 Amplification, 2.4 Sequencing technology: 2.4.1 Chemical degradation, 2.4.2 Dideoxy chain termination, 2.4.3 Large fragment sequencing strategies, 2.4.4 Large scale sequencing automation, 2.5 Sequence databases, 2.6 Summary, 3 SEQUENCE ANALYSIS ALGORITHMS: 3.1 Introduction, 3.2 Substitution score matrices: 3.2.1 Amino acid substitution matrix, 3.2.2 Nucleic acid substitution matrix, 3.3 Pairwise sequence alignment: 3.3.1 Calculating alignment score, 3.3.2 Constructing alignment, 3.4 Multiple sequence alignment: 3.4.1 Simultaneous alignment, 3.4.2 Clustering strategies, 3.4.3 Randomized strategies, 3.5 Sequence similarity searching: 3.5.1 FASTA, 3.5.2 BLAST, 3.5.3 FLASH, 3.6 Summary, 4 HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING ARCHITECTURES AND TECHNIQUES: 4.1 Introduction, 4.2 Parallelism: what and why?, 4.3 Types of computation, 4.4 Classification schemes, 4.5 Metrics, 4.6 Performance related factors, 4.7 Summary, 5 MULTIPROCESSOR SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT: 5.1 Introduction, 5.2 Pairwise sequence alignment: 5.2.1 Calculating the alignment score, 5.2.2 Constructing the sequence alignment, 5.3 Multiple sequence alignment: 5.3.1 Clustering strategies, 5.3.2 Randomized strategies, 5.4 Summary, 6 MULTIPROCESSOR SEQUENCE SIMILARITY SEARCHING: 6.1 Introduction, 6.2 Fine-grain approach, 6.3 Coarse-grain approach, 6.4 Summary, 7 BIOLOGICAL SEQUENCE RESOURCES ON THE INTERNET: 7.1 Introduction, 7.2 Accessing tools: 7.2.1 Email, 7.2.2 Usenet, 7.2.3 ListServers, 7.2.4 FTP, 7.2.5 Telnet, 7.2.6 Gopher, 7.2.7 World Wide Web, 7.3 Search engines: 7.3.1 Netfind and ph, 7.3.2 Archie, 7.3.3 Veronica, 7.3.4 WWW search engines, 7.4 Summary, 8 LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, REFERENCES, INDEX, Keywords: Biology, Sequence Analysis, Biological Sequence Analysis, Biological Sequences, Biomedical, Human Genome Project, DNA, Algorithms, Sequence Similarity Searching, CLN00345

Just as the forties was the decade hailed nostalgically ever since as Hollywood's golden age, it also saw the emergence of a dark new undercurrent in pop culture -- the sinister world of gumshoes, gangsters, double-crossing dames, and blind alleys that comprised film noir. PP Long before the era of the television trailer and satellite media junket, studios lured audiences to theaters with graphically bold poster art, gorgeously illustrated by classically trained artists adept at capturing the nuances of Veronica Lake's seductive glance, Humphrey Bogart's world-weary eyes, Bette Davis's icy stare, and hundreds of other stars at their best and most glamorous. All of the era's legendary stars are included in this volume: Lauren Bacall, Robert Mitchum, Barbara Stanwyck, Rita Hayworth, Cary Grant, Henry Fonda, Marlene Dietrich, and more. Film Posters of the 40s brings to life in lavish full-color an era in film history that will never be forgotten., Keywords: Movies, Film, 40s, Posters, Film Posters, Hollywood, CLN00562, Shipping: Too Big To Fit Into Flat Rate Envelope, Please Email For Priority Or International Mail

Various Artists The Roots of the Narcocorrido
Spanish, Correct Title: The Roots of the Narcocorrido, Very Good/Very Good 2004 Arhoolie Productions Inc. CD, 096297705322, CD Few Light Surface Imperfections, Very Good Insert/Case Usual Light Rubbing/Scuffing/Back (Very) Small Internal Crack (Smooth To Touch On Outside), From Back Cover: This collection of rare, historic recordings of corridos about various aspects of smuggling (not only of drugs), attempts to place the phenomenon of the currently widely popular narcocorrido in its historical and cultural contexts. By presenting these ballads from the past 150 years, it is our hope that we can promote a more informed understanding of how an activity so harmful has come to play such a compelling role in the popular imagination.

Various Artists Kerestina: Guitar Songs of Southern Mozambique (1955-1957)
African Acoustic, Foreign Language, Very Good/Very Good 1995 Original Music/International Library Of African Music CD, 719511003027, OMCD 030, CD Few Light Surface Imperfections But Plays Well, Very Good Insert/Case Usual Light Rubbing/Scuffing, From Back Cover: Forty years on, there’s a tendency to describe the rural-based acoustic guitar music as “traditional.” Which is about as wrong as you can get. True, the musicians here mostly came from the countryside of Mozambique, one of Africa’s more “underdeveloped” countries. But the 1950s were a time of upheaval, social, economic and (in embryo) political. As far from sitting under some tree being timeless and folksy, these musicians were right there in the thick of change, commenting on it, complaining about it, poking fun at it, and above all building new sounds out of it. International new sounds at that, since some of these men played in South Africa as well as Mozambique…, More Description As Well As Contents Available, Please Email, Keywords: Kerestina, African Acoustic, Guitar Songs, Southern Mozambique, Music, CD, NCAZCD00073

They had just won the American Legion Baseball Championship. By the time they reached Kansas City on the trip home to New Mexico, they were ready to tackle anyone – including the Kansas City Athletics. Bronc was especially eager to try his pitching against the big league hitters, but the Sonora coach, Cap’n Al Carter, had other ideas. PP When Cap’n Al announced that his championship team would play a series with a small-town New Mexico rival, the hot-tempered Bronc blew up in front of newspapermen. In one moment of anger and cocky overconfidence he made a rash statement which the reporters were smart enough to pick up – that one–sentence quote had a mighty big whiplash, and Bronc was the first to feel it. PP Bronc knew it would take more than a home run to win back the lost respect of his teammates – and himself. His struggle to disprove the rumors that branded him a snob and swell-head makes a thrilling, action-packed story set against an authentic baseball background., Keywords: Bronc Burnett, Baseball, Baseball Story, Sports, CLT00153

Dispositions of the Deviant, Conclusion: A People of Process, Notes, Index, From The Introduction: ….Those members would be not only English Quakers but also people of other religious and ethnic backgrounds. Penn encouraged these disparate groups to immigrate, partly to enhance the value of his holdings and partly as a consequence of his commitment to liberty of conscience. Another cornerstone of this edifice of land, toleration, prosperity, and diversity was Penn's determination to improve the common law and England's unwritten Constitution. Penn helped draft West Jersey's charter and fundamental laws of 1676, The Concessions and Agreements of the Proprietors. In 1681 and 1682, Penn wrote as many as twenty drafts of the Frame of Government and Laws Agreed upon in England for Pennsylvania, seeking the right rules of governance for Quaker colonies. Yet in the final, promulgated draft, Penn's preamble (quoted in the epigraph) emphasized not the good laws he had drafted in accordance with Whig principles but good men. PP The good men he had in mind were Quakers. Retaining Quaker control was essential to maintaining a haven from religious prosecution and for freedom of conscience. According to Penn, Quakers were not to allow themselves to become dissenters in our own Countrey, and the best way to ensure that was to retain Quaker control of government. From the beginning, however, Quakers faced the inherent contradiction of opening the door to diverse immigrants in a spirit of toleration but wanting to restrict non-Quaker power in law and government. Animating Penn's Frame from his first to last draft was the belief that the People of any Country should be Consenting to the laws they are to be governed by. If the Quaker government lost the confidence of non-Quaker immigrants, their consent would be withheld, the government would lose legitimacy, and non-Quakers would take over. PP As early as 1683, Penn confronted this fear. Quakers charged that his constitution contained no guarantees for maintaining Quaker control over Pennsylvania. Penn rejected calls to exclude non-Quakers from voting and government on the grounds that to do so would be hypocritical, yet he acknowledged that in case they should outnumber us upon Vote, we are gone. Instead he proposed that Quakers govern in ways designed to keep the assent, and thus control, of non-Quakers: If freinds here keep to god & in the Justice, mercy equity & fear of the lord their enemys will be their foot stool, if not their heires & my heirs too will loos all. Penn recognized that Quaker good men would have to adhere to high standards of legal performance (Justice, mercy equity) to retain authority even when Quakers constituted a majority. Should Quakers lose their majority, such performance might convince the non-Quaker population not to outnumber us upon Vote but to return Quakers to office. PP Penn's and other Quakers' theories on law and government came to life in both Quaker colonies on the Delaware River, since the boundary between West Jersey and Pennsylvania made little difference to the communication of political thought. On a broad range of other issues, settlers also acted with regional consciousness…., Keywords: Law, Society, Delaware Valley, Delaware River Valley, Quakers, Quakers Legal Status, Quakers Laws, Quaker History, Friends, William Penn, CLN00265

Dilemma tales are clever and popular, and exercise the puzzle talents of people. They are not only intellectual puzzles which sharpen the wits and promote discussion; they also point out that in human affairs there are often no answers, but only difficult choices -- which call into play conflicting moral values. That this was known to folk peoples from time immemorial -- and forgotten by each new generation in cultures which lack such story-telling devices -- is a lesson for modern educators. The fact that the lesson is being taught by African folk (under the auspices of Professor Bascom) well illustrates the idea of the Congress to which this book was presented. PP Like most contemporary sciences, anthropology is a product of the European tradition. Some argue that it is a product of colonialism, with one small and self-interested part of the species dominating the study of the whole. If we are to understand the species, our science needs substantial input from scholars who represent a variety of the world's cultures. It was a deliberate purpose of the IXth International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences to provide impetus in this direction…. PP PP PP PP This presentation of African Dilemma Tales was the longest of over 3,000 papers presented to the Congress, where it was discussed particularly on September 3, 1973. It is the only Congress publication which in one sense consists of a single paper, but in another sense is really an edited volume of material collected from the Africans who originated the dilemma tales., Note: Dilemmas May Or May Not Have Answers, Contents: African Dilemma Tales: Cross River Smoke, etc. Shoot Arrow through Rock, Catch Arrow in Flight, Giants and Leper, Horse in Sky, Father in Sky, Cure Father's Feet, Counting Seeds, Needle in Pond, Dig a Well, Dipper in Air, Arrow in Air, Race up Hill, Horsemanship, Tree as Belt, Thresh Millet with Penis, Harvesting Palm Nuts, Cure Blindness and Lameness, The Smallest, Crafty Man and Woman, Three Fools, Two Fools, Greedies Butcher Cow, Greedies Divide Bean, Greedy is Buried, Overeating and Oversleeping, Sleeping Contest, Greatest Memory: It is Sweet, Eating Own Head, Tug of War, Thieves Steal from Each Other, Thieves Disclaim Stealing, Thieves in Pit, Mirror, etc., Repairing an Egg, Repairing Boat, Rescue from Eagle (Lion, Snake), Rescue from Crocodile (Hippopotamus), Where is Father?, Drinking River Dry, Escape with Sweetheart, Rescue by Liar, etc., Hunter Saved by Animals, Recovering Cattle, Poisoned Food in Sky, Dog Finds Ring, Animal Language, Grateful Animals, Boy and Lion Cub, Leonard Eats Child, Frog's Two Wives, War of Birds and Beasts, Alternate House-building, Chain of Accidents, Fire and Water, Two Seasons, Canoe and Paddle, Canoe and Drum, Mortar and Canoe, Mortar and Climbing Belt, Garden Knife and Axe, Pitfall and Spikes, Net and Legs, Manioc and Banana, Manioc and Plantain, Oil Palm and Raffia Palm, Bofumbo Tree and Parasol Tree, Tree Parts, Two Hands, Hand and Mouth, Foot and Stomach, Body Parts, House Parts, Dividing Bread, Worship Two Gods, What's in a Name?, Shooting Mosquitoes, Mother-in-Law in Well, Break the Old Lady's Jaw, Rescue Mother-in-Law?, Death or Mother-in-Law, The Missing Eye, Knock Out Father's Eye, Knife to Father-in-Law, Left Unconscious, Crazy Client, Smoking Husband's Corpse, Cutting Husband's Throat, Thieves Reveal Secret, Barrel of Money, Snake in Belly, Fishbone in Throat, Pregnant Woman Falls from Tree, Lover Killed, Debt Collector, Look-alike Friends, Abducted Bride, Foot in Water, Lie under Leopard, Caught by Hair, Sons or Daughters, Sacrifice Lizard, Part River with Child, Adulterer, Shoot Banana Leaves, Spear through Chief, Spear through Animal, Pinch Brother's Neck, Senior Son Succeeds, Loyal Son Succeeds, Dispensing Justice, Fall into Latrine, Slave in Latrine, Slave on Farm, Slave on Farm to Widow, Child Born on Farm, Abandoned Farm, Tobacco in Mouth, The First Smoke, Girl from Ashes, Girl from Pool, Carving a Wife, Cloth for Woman, Deaf and Blind, Woman in Trap, Food for Hunter, House or Food, Four Bad Cooks, Naked Prince, Choosing a Wife, Choosing a Husband, Showing her Love, Raising Grain, Arrowhead, Blowgun and Arrows, Dividing a Hare, Who Owns the Pig?, Who Owns the Leopard?, Trapping a Leopard, Sharing the Game, Dog Finds Ivory, Wealth from Termite Hill, Horses from Gourd, Village from Gourd, Village from Egg, Village from Snake, Perverse Brother, Chicken Finds Gold, Reward for Clothing, Wife Doesn't Scold, Food under Bowl, Buying a Sun, Snorer and Singer, Don't Steal or Waken, Charm for Wealth, Cure for Blindness, Cure for Impotence, Knocked with Baobab, Husband's Rough Buttocks, Father Takes Son's Bridges, Deer Escapes, Fouls His Trousers, Sleep with Corpse, Blind Man's Proposition, Four Lovers, Revenge on Chief, References, Biographical Note, Ethnic Index, Keywords: Anthropology, African, African Dilemma Tales, African Moral Training, African Ethical Training, African Societies, African Values, Black, African American, CLT00314
