The dynamic processes of knowledge production in archaeology and
elsewhere in the humanities and social sciences are increasingly
viewed as the collaborative effort of groups, clusters and
communities of researchers rather than the isolated work of
so-called 'instrumental' actors. Shifting focus from the individual
scholar to the wider social contexts of her work and the dynamic
creative processes she participates in, this volume critically
examines the importance of informal networks and conversation in
the creation of knowledge about the past. Engaging with theoretical
approaches such as the sociology and geographies of knowledge and
Actor-Network Theory (ANT), and using examples taken from different
archaeologies in Europe and North America from the seventeenth to
the mid-twentieth century, the book caters to a wide readership,
ranging from students of archaeology, anthropology, classics and
science studies to the general reader. -- .

In Mixed Company explores taverns as colonial public space and how
men and women of diverse backgrounds - Native and newcomer,
privileged and labouring, white and non-white - negotiated a place
for themselves within them. The stories that emerge unsettle
comfortable certainties about who belonged where in colonial
society. Colonial taverns were places where labourers enjoyed
libations with wealthy Aboriginal traders like Captain Thomas, who
also treated a Scotsman to a small bowl of punch; where white
soldiers rubbed shoulders with black colonists out to celebrate
Emancipation Day; where English ladies and their small children
sought refuge for a night. The records of the past tell stories of
time spent in mixed company but also of the myriad, unequal ways
that colonists found room in taverns and a place in Upper Canadian
culture and society. Reconstructed from tavern-keepers' accounts,
court records, diaries, travelogues, and letters, In Mixed Company
is essential reading for tavern aficionados and anyone interested
in the history of gender, race, and culture in Canadian or colonial
society.

The Cytoskeleton of the Algae provides a comprehensive examination
of the structural features of the cytoskeleton in phylogenetic
branches of algae. The book also analyzes the possible functions of
cytoskeletal components using structural, physiological, genetic,
and molecular approaches. Many taxa are described in detail,
mirroring the dramatic progress that has been made in recent years
in this new research field. Many unique structural elements and
motility phenomena are described for the first time, and other
features common to all plant cells, such as cell polarity,
cytoplasmic streaming, mitosis, cell wall deposition, and
contractile events are analyzed using algae as experimental model
systems. The Cytoskeleton of the Algae reflects the enormous impact
that research on the algal cytoskeleton has on both phycology and
plant cell biology, and it will serve as an excellent reference
volume for researchers in this area.
