Telling Our Selves

Hunting for a Solution

The editors of this volume have compiled an important book that is a useful vehicle for important computational research - in the development of theoretical methodologies and their practical applications. Themes include new methodologies, state-of-the-art computational algorithms and hardware as well as new applications. This volume, Practical Aspects of Computational Chemistry IV, is part of a continuous effort by the editors to document recent progress made by eminent researchers. Most of these chapters have been collected from invited speakers from the annual international meeting: Current Trends in Computational Chemistry organized by Jerzy Leszczynski, one of the editors of the current volume. This conference series has become an exciting platform for eminent Theoretical/Computational Chemists to discuss their recent findings and is regularly honored by the presence of Nobel laureates. Certainly, it is not possible to cover all topics related to the Computational Chemistry in a single volume but we hope that the recent contributions in the latest volume of this collection adequately highlight this important scientific area

This is well known as the textbook of anatomy that deals especially with the living working human body. It is also characterized by the way in which cognate sciences, such as embryology and comparative anatomy, are made to add to insight into human anatomy. The book consists of three volumes. Braus published the first two (Bewagungs-Apparat and Eingeweide) but died in 1924 before the third volume (Central Nervensystem) was fully prepared. Professor Kurt Elze of Rostok has succeeded Braus as editor. A second edition of volume I was published in 1929, the first part of the third volume appeared in 1932, and now the second edition of the second volume (Eingeweide) appears. It is welcomed by all students of anatomy. Professor Elze has included in this edition the results of recent research and has rewritten some parts because of new points of view. He has replaced about thirty of the

William Gowers' classic single-authored two-volume A manual of diseases of the nervous system appeared in a first edition in 1886 and 1888, and in a second edition in 1892 and 1893, with a third edition of Volume 1 in 1899. No third edition of Volume 2 ever appeared. However, in 1949 Critchley stated that he had seen part of a revision of this volume. Subsequent writers could not find this material, but it recently came to light at Gowers' old hospital at Queen Square, London. The present paper describes the rediscovered material, containing Gowers' handwritten alterations for a further edition of Volume 2, and substantial new material, at least in relation to nystagmus and myasthenia. Gowers' declining health, or a conflict between his planned new text and his contributions to the neurology segments (1899) of Allbutt's System of medicine, may explain why a third edition of Volume 2 of the Manual of diseases of the nervous system never appeared.

The development of the seriesInternational Tables for Crystallographysince the 2011 Congress in Madrid will be discussed. The series includes eight published volumes with a ninth expected before the end of 2014 and definite plans for a tenth. A new edition of Volume A (Space-group symmetry, Editor Mois Aroyo) is nearly ready. A great deal of work has been done on the associated onlineSymmetry Database. Volume A1 (Symmetry relations between space groups, 2011, editors Hans Wondratschek and Ulrich Müller) is the companion volume. Work on a revision of theBrief Teaching Editionwill begin once the new Volume A is finished. Volume B (Reciprocal space, 2010; Editor Gervais Chapuis, who succeeded Uri Shmueli in 2011) and Volume C (Mathematical, physical and chemical tables, 2006, Editor Richard Welberry) are undergoing revisions, which will be major. The volumes will be reorganized with those topics connected to reciprocal space in B and those connected to direct space in C. A new edition of Volume D (Physical properties of crystals, Editor André Authier) was completed in 2013. A new edition of Volume F (Crystallography of biological macromolecules, Editors Eddy Arnold, Daniel Himmel, and Michael Rossmann) appeared in 2012. A new Volume H onPowder diffraction(Editors Chris Gilmore, Jim Kaduk, and Henk Schenk) is nearing completion. A new Volume I onXAFS(Editors Chris Chantler, Federico Boscherini, and Bruce Bunker) is in the planning stage. The Commission on Magnetic Structures is developing plans for a volume. In the meantime Danny Litvin's compilation of 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional magnetic subperiodic groups and space groups was published as an e-book by the IUCr in 2013. Ideas for future developments will be welcome.

Laurence Sterne published his masterpiece The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman in nine slender volumes in the final decade of his life, between 1759 and 1767. The first two volumes appeared in York, Dublin and London in January 1760. On 25 March the advertisement for the second (London) edition proudly announced a frontispiece designed by William Hogarth. Volumes 3 and 4 (again with a frontispiece by Hogarth) appeared a year later, in January 1761, and in December of that same year volumes 5 and 6 came out, with the unusual announcement that “Every book is signed by the author”. And indeed, to protect his book from being pirated, Sterne signed all copies of the first and second (revised) editions of volume 5, and of the first editions of volumes 7 and 9 on the first text-page: 12,750 signatures in a neat (and still perfectly legible) hand. Volumes 7 and 8 appeared in January 1765, the last volume in 1767, shortly before Sternels death (he died of consumption). Contrary to Samuel Johnsonis famous dictum that “Tristram Shandy did not last,iI the novel was a success: some thirty different editions appeared in his lifetime, and many, many more have appeared since then.”

Almost four decades ago, the first edition of Volume I of Immanuel Wallerstein’s The Modern World-System was published (Wallerstein: 1974a). In 2011, new editions of volumes I, II, and III were published, along with the long-anticipated fourth volume, The Modern 1789–1914. A fifth and sixth volume are scheduled, if the author can “last it out” to cover the “long twentieth century,” which will include treatment of the underlying premise of Wallerstein’s extensive corpus of work—the structural crisis of the capitalist world-economy (Wallerstein: 2011b, xvii). World-systems analysis (WSA) has from the outset developed a macro- level account of social reality, offering an explanatory framework centered on the historical establishment and development of the capitalist world-economy, and its current and future trajectories. On the question of grand narratives, Wallerstein (2011a, xxiii) remains steadfast in presenting WSA as an “alternative master narrative…[to]…the orthodox Marxist and modernization master narratives,” asserting, “We refused to throw out the baby with the bathwater.”1

COMPOSERS IN PARIS New Perspectives on Marc-Antoine Charpentier. Edited by Shirley Thompson. Farnham, UK: Ashgate, 2010. [xxvii, 385 p. ISBN 9780754665793. $124.95.] Music examples, illustrations, figures, tables, bibliography, index. The collection of essays in New Perspec - tives on Marc-Antoine is both a final echo of the Charpentier year 2004 (the tercentenary of the composer's death), and a new example of the lively interest in the composer and music. It comes as the third such collection, after Marc-Antoine Un musicien retrouve, ed. Catherine Cessac (Sprimont, Belgium: Mardaga, 2005) and Les manuscrits autographes de Marc-Antoine Charpentier, ed. Catherine Cessac (Wavre, Belgium: Mardaga, 2007). The book is the product of a conference, Charpentier and His World, organized at the Birmingham Conservatoire in England by the volume's editor and specialist, Shirley Thompson. Its contributors reflect the geographical breadth of interest in Charpentier, represented by scholars from France, continental Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia. The variety of contributions to the volume also underlines the special problems Charpen tier's music presents, and it is a sign of the current state of studies that work on the composer's autograph manuscripts, the Melanges, continues to yield new discoveries and insights into Charpentier's music and his world. How - ever, the volume also reflects a number of other avenues of research: establishing links between Charpentier's works and their contexts, coming to terms with unique style and its relationship to the broader French musical language, and understanding the composer's influence on that language. Besides thirteen essays, the book also includes a transcription with commentary of the des ouvrages de musique latine et francoise de defunt M.r Charpentier: the listing of the contents of the composer's manuscripts drawn up for their sale to the Bibliotheque royale in 1726. As a whole, the book makes a significant contribution to research. Two of the book's essays focus on the organization of the Melanges. The first, by Catherine Cessac ( 'Une source peut en cacher une autre': Added Preludes and Instrumental Cues in the Melanges) takes up a problem revealed in handwriting studies: the question of which pieces, or portions of pieces, represent reworkings of older music. The new versions thus hide older ones, as the essay's title indicates. Cessac notes that a large number of such reworkings involve the addition of instrumental pieces or indications of instrumental performance. Her survey of these additions concludes that some were added directly to works when there was room in the Melanges to notate them; others were included in later volumes with directions indicating the pieces to which they belonged. More problematic are pieces that refer to accompanying instruments but include no music for them, presumably references to sets of parts, now lost. The second of these essays, by the volume's editor, Shirley Thompson (Charpentier's Motets melez de symphonie: A Nephew's Tribute), is an exhaustive study of the sources for the motets published by Charpentier's nephew, the inheritor of manuscripts. This essay makes a major contribution in tracing the fate of the manuscripts used as sources for the print. Through careful comparisons of the current contents of the Melanges with the Memoire created shortly after the composer's manuscripts were sold, Thompson concludes that some autographs taken from the Melanges were replaced in their original positions after the Memoire was written. Some were placed in the Gros cahier, which is described in the Memoire but is no longer extant; these pieces were either lost or bound into new positions in the Melanges. This reordering took place at the time of the manuscripts' binding in 1752, meaning that they underwent fairly extensive reorganization at that point. …

Reviewed by: Approaches to Teaching Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God and Other Works Cynthia A. Cavanaugh John Lowe , ed. Approaches to Teaching Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God and Other Works. New York: MLA, 2009. 207p. This Modern Language Association volume, Approaches to Teaching Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God and Other Works provides insights for teaching the works of Zora Neale Hurston, an "iconic figure on a par with Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, and F. Scott Fitzgerald" (1) according to the volume's editor, John Lowe. Hurston's works—including novels, nonfiction, plays, and short stories—occupy the attention of Lowe and fifteen other Hurston scholars in this volume [End Page 112] with a central focus on Their Eyes Were Watching God. This volume, within the Approaches to Teaching World Literature Series, is presented in two main parts. "Part One: Materials" follows the volume's preface. Here the volume's editor presents the editions and anthologies where Hurston's published work may be found. "The Instructor's Library" includes a list of books and critical articles that almost any instructor who teaches Hurston would desire to consult as useful information for research and teaching. Appearing after "Part One: Materials" comes "Part Two: Approaches." An introduction at the beginning of the "Approaches" section describes the salient aspects of each article in adequate detail, and those descriptions will not be repeated here. Instead, the value of a few that offer interesting or novel approaches to the literature will be examined. The articles in the volume discuss the following works by Hurston: Their Eyes Were Watching God; Jonah's Gourd Vine; Moses, Man of the Mountain; Seraph on the Suwane; Mules and Men; Tell My Horse; Dust Tracks on a Road; "The Gilded Six-Bits"; The First One; Color Struck; and Mule Bone. Many of the articles do provide detailed teaching approaches, and a notable effort has commenced to encourage the teaching of Hurston's other works particularly in connection to Their Eyes. Scholarly articles about Their Eyes have appeared over the years in journals and other publications, yet not many have focused on its presentation in the undergraduate classroom. The well-structured article, "Teaching Their Eyes Were Watching God and the Process of Canon Formation," by Genevieve West describes an interesting and broad approach to this novel. Her approach to teaching Their Eyes "uses book reviews to trace the ways in which cultural changes have influenced responses to the novel and Hurston's place in the canon" (21). She asks her students to read reviews that concern Their Eyes and some of Hurston's other works from before she wrote this novel in order to introduce students to the politics of popular and scholarly interest (22-24). Her approach is too detailed to describe in a review, but West enables the students to understand and follow the fall of Hurston's reputation with the literary critics as the nation moved toward the social crisis of the Depression and toward an interest in the literature of social protest. As a supplement to the reviews, some lectures and articles regarding the rise of protest literature, the Black Arts movement, the feminist movement, and the rise of black studies programs may help students to appreciate Hurston's literary marginalization and her eventual recovery away from the margins and into the center of the canon. Such an approach would appear to require a great amount of effort to assemble the materials and to coordinate the lectures and discussions. However, West maintains that most of the reviews may be taken from [End Page 113] a single volume: Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and K.A. Appiah's Zora Neale Hurston: Critical Perspectives Past and Present (22). Conducting an analysis of the reviews and recognizing the values held by the critics could give the students an excellent understanding of how literature serves the needs and desires of special interest groups in our society. Their Eyes is reputed to be a masterwork, and most of the articles in this volume focus upon giving instructors insights to this novel. However, the editor, John Lowe, states in his introduction that other works by Hurston "need to be...

In this stimulating, although densely written group of essays by physicians, anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, and historians, a case is made for the proposition medical knowledge is inextricably embedded in the basic values, mores, experiences, and ideologies of the society gives it birth, and as such, medicine cannot claim special detachment or truth as its own. The writers of this volume seek to show the limits of the view separates medicine, as a technical and scientific calling, from other and intellectual forces, therefore setting it apart from factors influence these activities. The viewpoint of the modern scientific revolution, which separates medical facts and theories from values and contexts, is presented here as falsely dichotomizing their linkage and unity. The perspective of social constructivism, which this school of thought calls itself, is, the volume's editors' state, that medicine is a form of practice which observes,
