This is the last of three volumes to document the administration of
the Dutch-controlled colonies that were under the jurisdiction of
New York's first governor, Sir Edmund Andros. The documents range
from official correspondence, reports and notes, to court minutes.
This collection of essays looks at cultural transfers and
comparisons between English and French intellectuals. The
contributions, which have been written by scholars from a variety
of disciplines, address a broad range of issues, including the
international circulation of economic, political and literary
ideas, the translation and reception of authors in various
contexts, and the contest for 'Englishness' or 'Frenchness' both at
home and abroad. The Anglo-French relationship is used here as an
entry into the conflicting demands that intellectual life should be
trans-national and cosmopolitan, and that intellectuals should be
the representatives of the national mind. The conversations,
disputes and silences between English and French intellectuals were
once believed to be at the centre of the international republic of
letters. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, the rise of
new cultural powers re-shaped Anglo-French intellectual attitudes.
Anglo-French attitudes will be read by scholars working in the
areas of cultural history, intellectual history, gender studies,
the social history of intellectuals, history of science, and
literature. -- .

Volume II/26 supplements the previous compilations II/l, II/9 and
II/17 of the magnetic properties of free radicals which were
published in 1965, 1977-1980 and 1986-90. In the form of books and
CD ROM it covers the literature from about 1985 to 2001. Due to the
still rapid growth of the field and the necessary inclusion of new
subjects the volume is divided into subvolumes which will appear in
fast succession. Together with the earlier publications volume
II/26 offers an up-to-date and comprehensive survey and collection
of structures and data on the important chemical intermediates,
namely radicals, polyradicals and related species such as carbenes,
nitrenes, etc. As before the species have been grouped according to
chemical aspects. The contents of the individual subvolumes are
indicated on the inside of the front covers. For each group of
substances the literature has been compiled and extracted by
experts in the fields. A small overlap between the chapters is
intentional and allows a maximum of coherence and comprehensiveness
of the display. For the reader's convenience an index of substances
follows in the last subvolume. Data retrieval is also facilitated
by helpful links in the CD ROM version. We wish to thank all the
authors for their careful and experienced work and the most
agreeable cooperation, the Landolt- Boernstein office, especially
Mrs. A.
This volume, part of the New York Historical Manuscripts series,
presents the early years of the administration of New York's first
governorship under Sir Edmund Andros, who, as a loyal supporter of
King Charles II, was awarded succeeding governorships of most of
the English North American colonies, beginning with New York.

Can we ever truly run from our past? Fifteen years ago, Detective
Wes Raney was a New York City Narcotics Detective with a growing
drug habit of his own. While working undercover, he made decisions
that ultimately cost him not only his career, but also his family.
Disgraced, Raney fled New York - but his past is finally catching
up with him. For more than a decade, Raney has been living in
exile, the sole murder detective covering a two-hundred mile
stretch of desert in New Mexico. His solitude is his salvation -
but it ends when a brutal drug deal gone wrong results in a triple
murder. Staged in a locked underground bunker, the crime reawakens
Raney's haunted and violent past. THE EXILED follows Raney in a
brilliant dual narrative that takes the reader from the
crime-ridden streets of New York City in the 1980s, when crack was
king, to the vast, open spaces of the American west. In both
places, the only sure thing is that the choices you make will haunt
you somewhere down the line...
