A Pacific Island Collection In Rhode Island, Terence Hays, Mary Conaway, Susan Yeaw
A Pacific Island Collection In Rhode Island, Terence Hays, Mary Conaway, Susan Yeaw
Terence Hays
Collections of artifacts and specimens from Pacific Island cultures are found throughout Rhode Island. The largest and most systematically collected is in the Museum of Natural History in Roger Williams Park, Providence. The items were acquired by Rhode Island citizens over about a 150 year period from the early 1800's to the 1950's. They are from the 3 culture areas of the Pacific: Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia. All form of matter including wood, shell, fiber, bone and skin, ivory, pottery, stone, and human hair are part of the artifact assemblage. The specimens (not studied for this project) include birds, lava, …
The University Of Massachusetts Medical School, A History: Integrating Primary Care And Biomedical Research, Ellen S. More
The University Of Massachusetts Medical School, A History: Integrating Primary Care And Biomedical Research, Ellen S. More
Ellen S. More
The University of Massachusetts Medical School was chartered in 1962 and opened in 1970, one of the cohort of medical schools founded in response to fears of a physician shortage. In Massachusetts, this translated into a call for more opportunities for the state’s students to attend an affordable school where, it was hoped, they would deliver primary care to the people of their home state. Yet, the original dean and faculty, most of whom were recruited from Boston medical schools, were equally devoted to basic research and tertiary care medicine. This book tells the story of the school’s successful efforts …
From Courtly Curiosity To Revolutionary Refreshment: Turkish Coffee And English Politics In The Seventeenth Century, Alexander Mirkovic
From Courtly Curiosity To Revolutionary Refreshment: Turkish Coffee And English Politics In The Seventeenth Century, Alexander Mirkovic
Alexander Mirkovic
Why was coffee so fashionable yet so divisive a political symbol during the latter half of the seventeenth century? Historians have offered several answers, including the suggestion that the nascent Orientalism generated its popularity. Undeniably seventeenth century England imported exotic commodities, including coffee and tea, and began to appropriate them for the English culture. Did that also imply maintaining the cultural superiority over the natives? I argue that coffee was symbolically transformed during the political and revolutionary turmoil of the seventeenth century. Coffee was first introduced in the early part of the century to the Stuart court where it was …

Comparison Of Computerised Dietary Assessments With Diet History And Food Record Data At Baseline In An Australian Food-Based Clinical Trial, Yasmine Probst, Virva Sarmas, Linda C. Tapsell
Comparison Of Computerised Dietary Assessments With Diet History And Food Record Data At Baseline In An Australian Food-Based Clinical Trial, Yasmine Probst, Virva Sarmas, Linda C. Tapsell
L. C. Tapsell
Background: Food-based clinical trials are vital to advance the scientific evidence for the impact of food on health. These trials reqUire stringent dietary assessment to substantiate effects. We are evaluating the use of a self-administered computerised dietary assessment (DietAdvice) in a current food based weight loss trial. Objective: This cross sectional study aims to compare data from DietAdvice with diet history (DH) and food record (FR) dietary assessments measured at baseline. Materials and Methods: Baseline data for n=71 overweight (23-60 years, BMI 25-37 kg/m2) participants was utilised. Macronutrient data for matched dietary assessments from n=32 participants was obtained for the …

America And Political Islam, Richard Lobban
America And Political Islam, Richard Lobban
Richard A Lobban
I received this book before 11 September 2001 and am reviewing it in the aftermath of that day. One could not imagine a more intense crucible in which to view a work on political Islam. Under the glare of the fiery collapse at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and with bombs falling on Taliban and al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, the work of an author and a reviewer requires even greater scrutiny.
Heresy In The University, Richard Lobban
Heresy In The University, Richard Lobban
Richard A Lobban
It would be very difficult to find a book that has generated more heat and some light in the closing decades of the twentieth century than the 1987/1991 publication of the two-volume Black Athena by Martin Bernal. The same press has been used by Jacques Berlinerblau to add still more fuel to this fire. Appropriate to the massive documentation and notes for Bernal, the book under review also has some 45 pages of notes, 30 pages of bibliography, and a helpful 13-page index. So this "clash of the academic titans" continues. Is there something new to add to this debate?
Kordofan Invaded, Richard Lobban
Kordofan Invaded, Richard Lobban
Richard A Lobban
The history of Sudan still reflects the country's struggle to find its identity between Middle Eastern and African studies. Even within Sudan, there are spheres of interest ranging from the expanding ancient studies of Nubia to the protracted conflict between so-called Afro-Arab northerners and Nilotic southerners. Lost in these expanding domains are the histories of eastern Sudan and Kordofan to the west. Even the historiography of Sennar and Darfur is far better established than that of Kordofan. Thus, the very title of the book being reviewed suggests that Kordofan is an "invaded" and "peripheral" area on the edge of the …
Seed Of Redemption, Richard Lobban
Seed Of Redemption, Richard Lobban
Richard A Lobban
It is hard to imagine that a single author could so consistently produce published works of the highest quality, with great creativity, on diverse subjects for a variety of audiences. Dr. Deng has made pioneering contributions to law and anthropology as well as to the analysis and practice of foreign relations and diplomacy, so perhaps it is not surprising that in writing his first novel, he should do very well again.
The Eritrean War, Richard Lobban
The Eritrean War, Richard Lobban
Richard A Lobban
With kidnappings, major hostilities and violence the world is beginning to learn of a smoldering conflict in the Horn of Africa. Yet for those who have followed the fourteen-year guerrilla war the outbreak of heavy fighting in early 1975 comes as little surprise. The Eritrean Liberation Front has only brought greater attention to this movement for the restoration of national sovereignty. For those who have probed the history of the region, it should be clear that Eritrea has probably never been fully integrated into Ethiopia proper. In this article attention is focused initially on some geographic and historical basics.
Guinea-Bissau, Richard Lobban
Guinea-Bissau, Richard Lobban
Richard A Lobban
On 24 September 1973 history was made in Africa. The first sub-Saharan African nation unilaterally declared its sovereignty from European colonialism following a protracted armed struggle. Most African nations gained their independence from colonial powers by negotiation and peaceful transfer of authority. True enough, this transfer was sometimes linked with prolonged periods of demonstrations, strikes, and nationalist propagandizing, but with the exception of Algeria (and perhaps Ethiopia) there were no wars of national liberation which led to a declaration of independence until Guinea-Bissau. The implications of this move are immense.
War Clouds On The Horn Of Africa, Richard Lobban
War Clouds On The Horn Of Africa, Richard Lobban
Richard A Lobban
To review a book published five years ago describing a region in great turbulence is a great challenge. As one of those who has also written on aspects of the Horn of Africa it is tragically clear that the region's hostilities have brought misery and death for thousands. Resting with their remains are countless prophecies and predictions which had sought to analyze the latest events. These remarks may sound like defensive apologies of the author of this book, but I will defend him by assessing the difficulty of interpreting a dynamic and volatile region in the paroxysms of radical change.
Black Athena Writes Back, Richard Lobban
Black Athena Writes Back, Richard Lobban
Richard A Lobban
Martin Beral has been defending Black Athena since 1987. By now, most scholars have drawn their own conclusions in various forums. In short, Bernal seeks to overthrow the dominant paradigm about the connections of Greco-Roman civilization to Egypt and the Near East. He attacked its logic and methodology and criticized possible contamination with anti-Semitism and reluctance to see Egyptian civilization, located in Africa, as an influence upon Greek civilization. I looked forward to the logic and evidence of his defense and especially to learn of any new ideas that Beral might present.
Cry Of The Owl / Book Review, Richard Lobban
Cry Of The Owl / Book Review, Richard Lobban
Richard A Lobban
Some may mistake this book for Francis Deng's sequel to his Seed of Redemption. True, this book builds on earlier themes and the setting has its similarities. This book is also destined to take a place of significance in Sudanese literature. Even with the thematic convergences, the issues at hand are so vital to the understanding of Sudanese culture and politics that they require deeper analysis.
Philosophy, Science, And Belles-Lettres In Syriac And Christian Arabic Literature: A Gentle Introduction And Survey, Adam C. Mccollum
Philosophy, Science, And Belles-Lettres In Syriac And Christian Arabic Literature: A Gentle Introduction And Survey, Adam C. Mccollum
Adam C McCollum
It might be assumed that the genres of Syriac and Christian Arabic literature are made up exclusively (or almost so) of sacred topics (Bible, commentary, liturgy, asceticism, hagiography, theology, etc.), the writers, scribes, and readers in these communities often being monks, presbyters, deacons, and bishops. A broad look at the surviving evidence of this literature, however, shows an immense interest in subjects not directly connected to the church, monastery, or Christian life at all, among them philosophy, science, and belles-lettres. This paper offers a basic overview of these subjects as Syriac and Christian Arabic authors dealt with them, especially from …
An Observation On The Supreme Court Decision Of Prayer In Public Schools, Engel Vs. Vitale, David C. Taylor Jr
An Observation On The Supreme Court Decision Of Prayer In Public Schools, Engel Vs. Vitale, David C. Taylor Jr
David C Taylor Jr
This paper explores areas of the 1962 Supreme Court decision of Engel vs. Vitale on the subject of Prayer in public schools. There will be a discussion of the historical background, the arguments given, and the support given for the basis of the Court’s decision. There will also be a discussion on the dissenting view of the Court, and a discussion of whether or not this was a liberal or conservative approach to interpreting the Constitution of the United States.

Poland Since 1944: A Portrait Of Years / Book Review, Joanne Schneider
Joanne Schneider
This book examines Poland since 1944. The author maintains that post-war Polish history can only be understood by remembering the omnipresence of Soviet control. Each portrait in this study discusses Poland's foreign relations and domestic history with this theme in mind.
Schooling And Society : The Politics Of Education In Prussia / Book Review, Joanne Schneider
Schooling And Society : The Politics Of Education In Prussia / Book Review, Joanne Schneider
Joanne Schneider
Reviewed work(s): Schooling and Society: The Politics of Education in Prussia and Bavaria, 1750-1900 by Karl A. Schleunes
Schooling And Society, Joanne Schneider
Schooling And Society, Joanne Schneider
Joanne Schneider
A much repeated truism credits nineteenth century Germany, especially Prussia, with the most advanced public education system in Europe. Karl Schleunes's Schooling and Society examines this notion by exploring the politics of education not only in Prussia, but also Bavaria. What emerges is an informative discussion of how the fortunes of public school reform were tied to various government leaders' goals for education, in association with the wider political and social scene.

Leslie Schuster
"Links on the Chain: Labor at Century's End" encompassed a variety of events with broad appeal in the academic and labor communities. The series coordinated several diverse programs including an exhibition of labor photography; films on the life of the worker; and panel discussions on the future of enterprise compacts, European and Latin American labor movements, community organizing, and occupational safety and health. Moreover, the program featured two regional conferences. The University and College Labor Education Association (UCLEA) held its Eastern Regional conference during the month as did the New England Historical Association (NEHA). This well attended series brought labor …
