Western Siskiyou County spreads its picturesque bounty across the
mountains of California between the Sacramento Valley and the
Oregon border. Encompassing such magnificent wonders as the Klamath
National Forest and the Marble Mountain Wilderness-Primitive Area,
Western Siskiyou County enjoys a rich history. The Shasta and Karuk
tribes have inhabited the area for thousands of years, and they
thrived in this rugged landscape before Russian fur trappers
arrived in the 1830s. The dauntless Native Americans and subsequent
settlers have employed gold, timber, ranching/farming, and
recreation to support their community since 1850. A new history,
Western Siskiyou County: Gold and Dreams pays homage to the
citizens who made this land home. These captivating stories are
revealed through both word and image, echoing the voices of the
past that speak of struggle, sacrifice, and the courage and
perseverance needed to triumph over the wilderness. Stunning
photographs and heartfelt narrative commemorate the people, places,
and events that set this diverse community apart. Readers will be
enchanted by tales of the largest gold nugget discovered during the
gold rush in Scott Bar, the destructive great flood of 1861-1862,
and the baseball craze that seized the county in 1911 when the Etna
team won 13 games in a row. Western Siskiyou County: Gold and
Dreams introduces new generations of Californians to an abundant
paradise boasting green 500-foot canyons and snowcapped 8,000-foot
peaks.

This delightful little book of poems expresses the author's love of
life with a touch of humor, times and seasons, and an appreciation
of God's handiwork.
What can be more benign than a small lake hidden in a forested
area behind a modern subdivision in South Carolina? Susan was a
young real estate agent who needed a marketing strategy, but what
she found while exploring the lake was a mystery and an unexpected
turn in her life.
Susan thought she had a clear plan for happiness and success. As
many of us do, she had certain expectations of God in her world.
When she had experienced pain and disappointment, she had discarded
God. How could she have known God would use Floating Bone Lake and
its Ghost Fish to work for a future and a hope in her life and the
lives of those around her?
Susan found that when God is in on the planning, you get a fish,
not a snake.

While glosses on Heaney's verse forms figure more or less in
critical accounts of his poetry, this is the first book to take the
craft of his art as its focus. Setting out a historically informed
approach to poetic form, the book places Heaney's developing
versification in the context of mid-century Anglo-American theories
of metre and rhythm.
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Project is a global project to
design and c- struct a revolutionary new radio telescope with of
order 1 million square meters of collecting area in the wavelength
range from3mto1cm.It will have two - ders of magnitude greater
sensitivity than current telescopes and an unprecedented large
instantaneous ?eld-of-view. These capabilities will ensure the SKA
will play a leading role in solving the major astrophysical and
cosmological questions of the day (see the science case at
www.skatelescope.org/pages/page astronom.htm). The SKA will
complement major ground- and space-based astronomical facilities
under construction or planned in other parts of the electromagnetic
spectrum (e.g. ALMA, JWST, ELT, XEUS,...). The current schedule for
the SKA foresees a decision on the SKA site in 2006, a
decisiononthedesignconceptin2009,constructionofthe?rstphase(international
path?nder)from2010to2013,andconstructionofthefullarrayfrom2014to2020.
The cost is estimated to be about 1000 M .
TheSKAProjectcurrentlyinvolves45institutesin17countries,manyofwhich
are involved in nationally- or regionally-funded state-of-the-art
technical devel- ments being pursued ahead of the 2009 selection of
design concept. This Special Issue of Experimental Astronomy
provides a snapshot of SKA engineering act- ity around the world,
and is based on presentations made at the SKA meeting in
Penticton,BC,CanadainJuly2004.Topicscoveredincludeantennaconcepts,so-

mitigation, and reports on related technologies in other radio
telescopes now under construction. Further information on the

I Am Not Your Victim vividly details the evolution of domestic
violence during the 16-year marriage of author Beth Sipe.
Encouraged to publish her story by her therapist and co-author,
Evelyn J. Hall, Beth relates the background and events leading up
to and immediately following the tragic act of desperation that
ended the life of her sadistic perpetrator. Beth's subsequent
mishandling by the police, the military, a mental health
professional, and the welfare system illustrates how women like
Beth face further revictimization and neglect by the very systems
that should provide support and assistance. Insightful commentaries
written by experts in the field follow Beth's story and deepen
readers' understanding of the causes and process of spousal abuse,
why battered women stay, and the dynamic consequences of domestic
violence. This updated edition includes new commentaries and an
epilogue that tracks what happened to Beth in the years following
the book's publication.

Seamus Heaney: Poet, Critic, Translator collects twelve new essays
and aims to comprehensively represent the abundance and variety of
both Heaney's writing and scholarship on Heaney's writing.
Attention is given not only to Heaney's poetry - something previous
collections have tended to privilege - but also to his translations
and his prose. The essays foreground Heaney's internationalism and
the complementary international interest in his writing.
Contributors include critics and poets from America, Britain,
Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.
Decadent Poetics has gathered together some of the most important
scholars working in Victorian studies, with the ten essays here
exploring the complex and vexed topic of decadent literature's
formal characteristics. Invigorated by shifts in Victorian studies
over the past ten years, this collection interrogates previously
held assumptions around the nature of decadent form. The term
'poetics' conveys here not just the prosodic, but the
multiplicitous forms of cultural production across the fin de
siecle. From perfume to the post-human, theatre to attenuated
textualities, these essays explore the ways in which the literary
intersects with its others in the period. The range of writers
studied here moves from those who now constitute a decadent canon -
Oscar Wilde, 'Michael Field', Charles Baudelaire, Algernon Charles
Swinburne and Ernest Dowson - to those whose work still inhabits
the scholarly margins: A.E. Housman, Arthur Machen, Hubert
Crackanthorpe and Graham R. Tomson.
This book deals with the results of theoretical and ex perimental
studies of the emotions which my colleagues and I carried out over
the last two decades. An interest in the psychology of emotions
prompted us to undertake an analysis of the creative legacy of K.
S. Stanislavsky. A result of this analysis was the book, The Method
of K. s. StanisZavsky and the PhysioZogy of Emotions, written in
1955-1956 and published by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in
1962. I am grateful to the first reader and critic of the
manuscript, Leon Abgarovich Orbeli. In 1960, having transferred to
the Institute of Higher Nervous Activ ity and Neurophysiology of
the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, I had the opportunity to
conduct experiments on prob lems that had interested me for a long
time. In close scien tific association with Peter Mikhailovich
Ershov, director and teacher of theater, I began a systematic study
of the in voluntary and electrophysiological shifts in actors
during voluntary production of various emotional states. Here
comparatively quickly we became convinced that the fruitfulness of
such studies rests on an absence of any kind of developed,
systematic, and sound generaZ theory of the emotions of man and the
higher mammals. We will illustrate our difficulties if only with
one example. We had frequently read of the so-called "emotional
memory."
