pachyderm resolves to keep his microscopic pals safe. However, as
Horton is the only one who hears the inhabitants of 'Whoville', his

This is a true story of exodus, the inevitable journey of the last
of the First People, as they leave the Great Sand Face and head for
the modern world and cultural oblivion. Paul John Myburgh spent
seven years with the 'People of the Great Sand Face', a group of
/Gwikwe Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert. They were years of physical
and spiritual immersion into a way of life of which only an echo
remains in living memory. But all does not end there. In The
Bushman Winter Has Come, the author imagines a continuing journey
towards a place where we may, once again, know who we are in the
context of our life on this earth ... towards a time when we may
answer the /Gwikwe's morning greeting, Tsamkwa/tge? (Are your eyes
nicely open?) with a confident Yes.

The Celtic Jersey is a comprehensive and evocative history of one
of the most famous and iconic football shirts of them all. Through
a breathtaking collection of historic match-worn jerseys, this
stunning coffee table book tells the story of the green-and-white
hoops, and the great players who have pulled it on. In doing so The
Celtic Jersey also provides a unique insight into the history of
the club itself. So much more than a football shirt, 'the Hoops'
are steeped in cultural and political significance which makes them
sacred to followers of Celtic Football Club and instantly
recognised the world over. Compiled with the help of the key
collectors of match worn Celtic shirts, this unique publication
showcases both home and away jerseys worn by club legends from
Jimmy Johnstone and Henrik Larsson, to current icon Scott Brown.
With many of the jerseys originating from the personal collection
of legendary kit man Neilly Mochan, the book includes several
opposition jerseys swapped during Celtic's glorious 1960s and 1970s
European Cup campaigns, and a jersey from the infamous
Intercontinental Cup tie against Racing Club of Argentina in 1967.
In the words of the late Tommy Burns, "When you pull on that
jersey, you're not just playing for a football team. You're playing
for a people and a cause."
This is the second of two volumes published by Cambridge University
Press in honor of Richard Lewontin. The first volume, Evolutionary
Genetics from Molecules to Morphology, honors Lewontin's more
technical contributions to genetics and evolutionary biology. This
second volume of essays honors the philosophical, historical, and
political dimensions of his work. Given the range of Lewontin's own
contributions, it is fitting that the volume covers such a wide
range of perspectives on modern biology. He was a very successful
practitioner of evolutionary genetics, a rigorous critic of the
practices of genetics and evolutionary biology, as well as an
articulate analyst of the social, political, and economic contexts
and consequences of genetic and evolutionary research. The volume
contains an essay by Lewontin on Natural History and Formalism in
Evolutionary Genetics, and an extended interview with Lewontin,
covering the history of evolutionary genetics as seen from his
perspective and exemplified by his career. The remaining chapters,
contributed by former students, post-docs, colleagues, and
collaborators, cover issues ranging from the history and conceptual
foundations of evolutionary biology and genetics, to the
implications of human genetic diversity, to the political economy
of agriculture and public health.
In this volume distinguished scholars from different social science disciplines assess the emerging international order. The volume's three sections examine theories and strategies of order; the prospects of the major likely contenders for world leadership (the United States, Russia, China, the European Union, Japan and India); and the challenges to world order, including globalization, nationalism, ethnic and religious conflict, environmental degradation, and the spread of weapons of mass destruction. This book thus offers a comprehensive account of the prospects for a peaceful and just international order in the next century.
This book provides a clear and readable introduction to the central
concepts of clinical neuroscience. The first part of the book deals
with fundamental areas of neuroscience required for a sound
understanding of brain disease. This is followed by an account of
the neurobiology of the most common and important brain diseases of
the western world (stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease,
Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis). The book is in the
same general style as the successful Crossman: Neuronatomy with
extensive colour illustrations. Short, affordable and readable
introductory level text in the same style as Crossman: Neuroanatomy
Assumes little previous neuroscience knowledge Explains fundamental
concepts without overwhelming detail Focuses on clinically relevant
material Includes the most common and important neurological
disorders.
Let them speak to me no more of Rome, and let Greece be silent lest
she stand accused of knowing nothing but what she has derived from
Egypt. Frederik Ludvig Norden (17081742), a Danish naval officer,
wrote these words during a 1737 expedition to describe his
amazement at the technical ingenuity of ancient Egyptian and Nubian
art and architecture. Posthumously published in 1755, Nordens
Travels in Egypt and Nubia proved to be of great importance for
eighteenth-century discussions of the role of Egypt and Greece in
the creation of European identity. This volume, supplemented by
more than fifty of Nordens own drawings, is an analysis of the
publication and its lasting cultural and intellectual influence.
Autobiography is naturally regarded as an art of retrospect, but
making autobiography is equally part of the fabric of our ongoing
experience. We tell the stories of our lives piecemeal, and these
stories are not merely about our selves but also an integral part
of them. In this way we "live autobiographically"; we have
narrative identities. In this book, noted life-writing scholar Paul
John Eakin explores the intimate, dynamic connection between our
selves and our stories, between narrative and identity in everyday
life.
Eakin draws on a wide range of autobiographical writings, from
work by Jonathan Franzen, Mary Karr, and Andre Aciman to the New
York Times series "Portraits of Grief" memorializing the victims of
9/11, as well as the latest insights into identity formation from
the fields of developmental psychology, cultural anthropology, and
neurobiology. In his account, the self-fashioning in which we
routinely, even automatically, engage is largely conditioned by
social norms and biological necessities. We are taught by others
how to say who we are, while at the same time our sense of self is
shaped decisively by our lives in and as bodies. For Eakin,
autobiography is always an act of self-determination, no matter
what the circumstances, and he stresses its adaptive value as an
art that helps to anchor our shifting selves in time."
