Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Architecture in Black argues that architecture, as an aesthetic
practice, and blackness, as a lingusitic practice, operate within
the same semiotic paradigm. The book presents the first systematic
analysis of the theoretical relationship between architecture and
blackness. Employing a technique whereby texts are realted through
the repetition and revision of their semiotic structures,
Architecture in Black reconstructs the genealogy of a black racial
subject reprsented by the simultaneous reading of a range of
canonical apparatus invented by this reading is then used to
critique a discrete set of architectural texts, demonstrating the
presence of the 'black venacular' in contemporary architectural
theory.>
Sue Savage-Rumbaugh's work on the language capabilities of the
bonobo Kanzi has intrigued the world because of its far-reaching
implications for understanding the evolution of the human language.
This book takes the reader behind the scenes of the filmed language
tests. It argues that while the tests prove that Kanzi has
language, the even more remarkable manner in which he originally
acquired it - spontaneously, in a culture shared with humans -
calls for a re-thinking of language, emphasizing its primal
cultural dimensions.
Engineering Aspects of Membrane Separation and Application in Food
Processing presents an overview and introduction to a wide range of
membrane processes, their unique characteristics and challenges. In
the food industry, as in many industries, membranes have an
environmental advantage over conventional processes that they
displace, because they are less energy intensive. The processing at
near-ambient conditions also retains flavors and nutritional value.
These advantages, together with significant reductions in the cost
of membrane modules, augers well for their future not only in the
dairy industry but in other parts of the food industry, such as
alcohol processing, animal product processing, and fruit and
vegetable processing. Chapters address a wide range of membranes
separations in the food and beverage industries, and applications
are provided that will be of value not only to food engineers but
also to process engineers working in other areas. The processing of
food is now a highly interdisciplinary science, and anyone
concerned with food processing will benefit from reading this book
and understanding what membrane processes of the twenty-first
century have to offer.
This volume of French eyewitness accounts of Waterloo, published
for the first time in full in English, completes Andrew Field's
pioneering work on the French experience in this decisive battle.
These vivid recollections add a new dimension to our understanding
of what happened on 18 June 1815. Readers will now be in a position
to come to their own conclusions and they can compare the French
accounts with those of soldiers from the allied armies, in
particular the British, which have largely determined our
assumptions about the battle for the last 200 years. They will also
gain a heightened insight into the trauma that the French
eyewitnesses went through on the battlefield and afterwards as they
tried to explain and come to terms their loss. This second volume
features graphic descriptions of the battle as it was remembered by
men of the 2nd and 6th corps, cavalry, artillery and Imperial Guard
and medical services of Napoleon's army. Their words give us not
only a telling inside view their actions during that extraordinary
day, but they also record in graphic detail what they saw and show
us how they reacted to Napoleon's historic defeat.
These seven lectures are intended to serve as an introduction for
beginning graduate students to the spectra of small molecules. The
author succeeds in illustrating the concepts by using language and
metaphors that capture and elegantly convey simple insights into
dynamics that lie beyond archival molecular constants. The lectures
can simultaneously be viewed as a collection of interlocking
special topics that have fascinated the author and his students
over the years. Though neither a textbook nor a scholarly
monograph, the book provides an illuminating perspective that will
benefit students and researchers alike.

For Native peoples of California, the abalone found along the
state's coast have remarkably complex significance as food, spirit,
narrative symbol, tradable commodity, and material with which to
make adornment and sacred regalia. The large mollusks also
represent contemporary struggles surrounding cultural identity and
political sovereignty. "Abalone Tales," a collaborative
ethnography, presents different perspectives on the multifaceted
material and symbolic relationships between abalone and the Ohlone,
Pomo, Karuk, Hupa, and Wiyot peoples of California. The research
agenda, analyses, and writing strategies were determined through
collaborative relationships between the anthropologist Les W. Field
and Native individuals and communities. Several of these
individuals contributed written texts or oral stories for inclusion
in the book.
Tales about abalone and their historical and contemporary
meanings are related by Field and his coauthors, who include the
chair and other members of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe; a Point Arena
Pomo elder; the chair of the Wiyot tribe and her sister; several
Hupa Indians; and a Karuk scholar, artist, and performer.
Reflecting the divergent perspectives of various Native groups and
people, the stories and analyses belie any presumption of a single,
unified indigenous understanding of abalone. At the same time, they
shed light on abalone's role in cultural revitalization, struggles
over territory, tribal appeals for federal recognition, and
connections among California's Native groups. While California's
abalone are in danger of extinction, their symbolic power appears
to surpass even the environmental crises affecting the state's
vulnerable coastline.
The story of the Battle of Waterloo - of the ultimate defeat of
Napoleon and the French, the triumph of Wellington, Bl cher and
their allied armies - is most often told from the viewpoint of the
victors, not the vanquished. Even after 200 years of intensive
research and the publication of hundreds of books and articles on
the battle, the French perspective and many of the primary French
sources are under-represented in the written record. So it is high
time this weakness in the literature - and in our understanding of
the battle - was addressed, and that is the purpose of Andrew
Field's thought-provoking new study. He has tracked down over
ninety first-hand French accounts, many of which have never been
previously published in English, and he has combined them with
accounts from the other participants in order to create a graphic
new narrative of one of the world's decisive battles. Virtually all
of the hitherto unpublished testimony provides fascinating new
detail on the battle and many of the accounts are vivid, revealing
and exciting. .
