Описание: From the 1910s to the 1970s, J.R.R. Tolkien worked at creating plausibly realistic languages to be used by the creatures and characters in his novels. Like his other languages, Sindarin was a new invention. In A Gateway to Sindarin, David Salo has created a volume that is a serious look at an entertaining topic.

On March 31, 1929, seventy-seven men began an epic 3,554-mile footrace across America that pushed their bodies to the breaking point. Nicknamed the "Bunion Derby" by the press, this was the second and last of two trans-America footraces held in the late 1920s. The men averaged forty-six gut-busting miles a day during seventy-eight days of nonstop racing that took them from New York City to Los Angeles. Among this group, two brilliant runners, Johnny Salo of Passaic, New Jersey, and Pete Gavuzzi of England, emerged to battle for the $25,000 first prize along the mostly unpaved roads of 1929 America, with each man pushing the other to go faster as the lead switched back and forth between them. To pay the prize money, race director Charley Pyle cobbled together a traveling vaudeville company, complete with dancing debutantes, an all-girl band wearing pilot outfits, and blackface comedians, all housed under the massive show tent that Pyle hoped would pack in audiences. Kastner's engrossing account, often told from the perspective of the participants, evokes the remarkable physical challenge the runners experienced and clearly bolsters the argument that the last Bunion Derby was the greatest long-distance footrace of all time.

Описание:
Today e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter are sometimes used to spread hateful messages and slurs masking as humor. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries postcards served this purpose. The images collected in this volume make it painfully clear that anti-Semitic propaganda did not simply begin with the Nazis. Nor was it the sole province of politicians, journalists, and rabble-rousers. One of the most virulent forms of anti-Semitism during this time was spread by quite ordinary people through postcards. Of the millions of postcards exchanged during their heyday of 1890 through 1920, a considerable percentage carried the anti-Semitic images that publishers churned out to meet public demand, reflecting deep-seated attitudes of society.
Over 250 examples of such postcards, largely from the pre-Holocaust era, are reproduced here for the first time—selected, translated, and historically contextualized by one of the world’s foremost postcard collectors. Although representing but a small sample of the many thousands that were in print, these examples nonetheless offer a disturbing glimpse—one shocking to the modern sensibility—into the many permutations of anti-Semitism eagerly circulated by millions of people. In so doing, they help us to better understand a phenomenon still pervasive today.

Several chapters focus on parent-infant families who have experienced considerable anxiety and depression.
Описание: Abstract: Three experiments were conducted to investigate how patterns of general and sexual development might be correlated with the formation of social and mating systems among four species of voles ( Microtus ) . Species included pine voles ( Microtus pinetorum ), prairie voles ( M. ochroqaster ), meadow voles ( M. pennsylvanicus ), and montane voles ( M. montanus ) . In Experiment 1, general and sexual development were monitored as voles were exposed to pheromones contained in the soiled bedding from family groups, adult males, or adult females. Few significant effects were found to be due to the treatment. Male pine voles exposed to family or male bedding were significantly heavier than those exposed to clean or female bedding. The uteri of female montane voles exposed to clean or male bedding were heavier than the uteri of those exposed to family or female bedding. In Experiment 2, the olfactory preferences of voles were measured when they were exposed to male and female bedding on weeks 4, 7, and 10 after birth. Few preferences were shown for either bedding type by any of the species. Female prairie voles and meadow voles revealed a significant preference for male versus female bedding. Both sexes of all species differed little in the total duration they remained near the female stimulus. Male meadow voles remained near the female stimulus significantly less than the males of the other species on week 10. Female montane voles remained near the male stimulus significantly longer on weeks 4 and 7 than did females of the other species. In Experiment 3, the influence of the fathers' presence and absence was studied during the rearing of the breeding pairs' first two litters. Pine voles produced their second litter considerably earlier if the male had been present during the rearing of the first litter rather than being absent. Pine voles weaned heavier offspring in the second litter than in the first, when the male had been present for the rearing of the first litter. Montane voles produced litters that were male-biased in sex ratio across both litters, if the male had been present during the rearing of the first litter. Results are discussed and interpreted from known differences in their contrasting social and mating systems.
