This book aims to evaluate and summarize the empirical literature
in the effects of divorce upon offspring. It provides a
comprehensive, accessible, balanced, and readable resource for
upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as parents
and practicing professionals.
In Qur experience, there is bias and inconsistency in much of what
is written about the effects of divorce on offspring. When
interested students have asked for appropriate resources, we have
been hard-pressed to respond without providing a long list of
contradictory sources. Much of what is currently available reflects
the cultural bias that parental divorce is one of the worst things
that can happen to offspring. This book has grown out of our desire
to provide a comprehensive, accessible, balanced, and readable
resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students who
are interested in the effects of divorce upon offspring. We also
hope that it will be useful to parents and practicing professionals
who are not familiar with the empirical literature addressing this
situation. Our primary goal is to evaluate and summarize the
empirical literature in this field. However, we illustrate
important points with examples drawn from autobiographies completed
as part of a class assignment or from client histories based on one
of the author's (KNB) counseling with families who are experiencing
separation and divorce. We have selected life stories that describe
problems in order to show possible results and that even difficult
situations can have a positive resolution. Although the individuals
involved may recognize themselves, there is insufficient
information for anyone else to make an identification.
Woolly monkeys are large, attractive and widespread primates found
throughout many parts of the Amazon basin. It is only in the last
twenty-five years or so that long-term studies of woollies in their
forest habitat have been successful; they have not generally been
successfully kept in captivity. But now, especially because of
their size, these creatures are pressed on all sides by bush meat
hunters and forest fragmentation. Their future is becoming
critically precarious and the editors feel that it is time to
showcase these animals with a full book. The editors draw together
a number of recent woolly monkey studies from three Amazonian
countries, including five taxa of woolly monkeys, four of which
have recently been reclassified without using new biological
criteria as species rather than subspecies (Groves, 2001, 2005;
Rylands & Mittermeier, 2009). This volume provides a diversity
of studies by well-known researchers and advanced students on a
wide range of subjects using newly generated data, including a
criticism of the recent taxonomic changes. The varied information
contained within The Woolly Monkey: Behavior, Ecology, Systematics
and Captive Research will help readers understand these handsome
animals and will, we hope, energize them to contribute to their
conservation.

BERMUDO alone of the many Spanish theorists and composers of the
16th century seems to have written anything specifically for New
World use. All the more fitting is it, then, to have completed this
monograph in a part of the Spanish Indies that was stirring every
Andalusian's imagination during the days when he was first sending
his books across the Atlantic. In every way his was a remarkable
personality. He was the first to compose and publish any organ
music in Spain. As if the publication of such music in
staff-notation were not enough he also published the first Spanish
keyboard piece in tablature. He was the first in Spain to print any
music in score. He is cited by Pincherle as the first to publish a
harp method anywhere. He pioneered with the first treatise
specifically designed for female use. He also "enjoys" the
distinction of having become in Tapia's Verge! de Musica (1570) the
most ruthlessly plagiarized writer in Spanish musical history. If
bulk determines preeminence he stands above even Tomas de Santa
Maria - who published only one volume, and that containing
considerably less text. If range of interests determines rank no
one else writing in Spanish during his century even approaches him.
Nor does anyone else in Spanish have so many authorities at his
fingertips.
