This book presents a series of informal biographies about major
figures in the history of psychology. A unique combination of
expertise and human appeal, the volume places the contributions of
each pioneer in a new and fascinating perspective. For instance,
several of the authors use the novel approach of having the
pioneers return to the present day to reflect back on their work as
it relates to the here and now. Revisions of speeches given in a
popular series of invited addresses at psychological conventions,
the chapters offer appealing glimpses into the lives of individuals
who made a difference in the early years of psychology as a field
of study. Each of the five volumes in this series contains
different profiles thereby bringing more than 100 of the pioneers
in psychology more vividly to life.
This volume presents the results of the Tel Jezreel Post-Excavation
and Publication Project, directed by Charlotte Whiting on behalf of
the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL). The project
analyzed the Tel Jezreel excavation archive stored at the CBRL's
Kenyon Institute in Jerusalem. The book presents the stratigraphic
sequence (by Charlotte Whiting) and the Neolithic to Iron Age
pottery (by Gloria London) excavated during the 1995/1996 seasons.
The Tel Jezreel stratigraphy and ceramics have been deemed relevant
to determining Iron Age chronological and social issues, two topics
that are highly debated in the literature. Despite the fragmentary
nature of the deposits, they are published here in order to address
these questions. In addition, the study of the ceramics revealed an
unanticipated abundance of highly varied pre-Iron Age pottery.
Social and technological aspects of the manufacturing techniques,
including burnish practices, are discussed.

The nineteenth volume in the acclaimed paperback series . . . the
only county series that can legitimately claim to represent the
past and present of a nation. 'Cornish Studies' has consistently -
and successfully - sought to investigate and understand the complex
nature of Cornish identity, as well as to discuss its implications
for society and governance in contemporary Cornwall. The latest
volume in this internationally acclaimed paperback series, Cornish
Studies: Nineteen examines the Duchy of Cornwall in the medieval
period and discusses the Cornish language (including its
significance as an icon of contemporary Cornish identity), as well
as critically evaluating the early Cornish-language revivalists and
analysing the experiences of Cornish women in Cornwall's
nineteenth-century 'Great Emigration'. There is also a review of
recent books on Californian mining towns in the 1930s and the
'Anglican imagination' of John Betjeman.
