Imagining What Eve Would Have Said After Cain’S Murder Of Abel: Rhetorical Practice And Biblical Interpretation In An Early Byzantine Homily, Kevin Kalish Dec 2012

Imagining What Eve Would Have Said After Cain’S Murder Of Abel: Rhetorical Practice And Biblical Interpretation In An Early Byzantine Homily, Kevin Kalish

Bridgewater Review

Why does the story of Cain and Abel leave out what we would consider essential details? Is there a reason for this silence? Works of fiction that imagine a historical event from an untold perspective are as popular as ever, and recent years have seen an influx of fiction that gives voice to silent characters in older works of fiction. By imagining what other characters might have said, we also come to a deeper understanding of the text.


Why Snails? How Gastropods Improve Our Understanding Of Ecological Disturbance, Christopher P. Bloch Dec 2012

Why Snails? How Gastropods Improve Our Understanding Of Ecological Disturbance, Christopher P. Bloch

Bridgewater Review

The concept of equilibrium - the idea that a perturbed system will tend to return to its original state - is the basis for many foundational theories in ecology. Yet, the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecosystems are strongly influenced by disturbance. If a particular disturbance greatly alters local climatic conditions, gastropods should be among the first organisms to show a measurable response. The effects of human alteration of habitats (for example, conversion of forest to agriculture) have much longer-lasting effects than those of natural disturbances.

At the beginning and at the end of the study, four groups of plots were identified: mixed indicated by Borrichia frutescens, Distichlis spicata, and Fimbristylis castanea; Juncus indicated by Juncus roemerianus; Salicornia indicated by Salicornia virginica; and Spartina indicated by Spartina …
