Abstract In 2012, large amounts of white marble Buddhist statues of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties were unearthed from the Buddhist sculpture hoard at Bei Wuzhuang in Ye City Site. This paper makes a comparative study on a bodhisattva statue in meditation seated in half-lotus posture (resting right ankle on the knee of pendent left leg and holding right hand upward) among them and another sculpture of the same type and made in the same period unearthed at the Xiude Monastery site in Dingzhou; from the double-tree, stupa and coiling dragon designs shown by them, this paper explores the commonalities and differences of the Buddhist arts in these two areas. Moreover, this paper reveals that this motif emerged earlier in the Ye City area than in the Dingzhou area, and diffused to the latter after it became popular in the Ye City area. By these conclusions, this paper infers that the white marble meditating statue seated in half-lotus position with the date of the second year of Wuding Era (544 CE) in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA was produced in Ye City area.

Jeffrey Sachs's new book (The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time, Penguin Press: New York, 2005) advocates a “Big Push” featuring large increases in aid to finance a package of complementary investments in order to end world poverty. These recommendations are remarkably similar to those first made in the 1950s and 1960s in development economics. Today, as then, the Big Push recommendation overlooks the unsolvable information and incentive problems facing any large-scale planning exercise. A more promising approach would be to design incentives for aid agents to implement interventions piecemeal whenever they deliver large benefits for the poor relative to costs.

Recent discussions of the history of American communism have generated a good deal of controversy. A youthful generation of “new social historians” has combined with veterans of the Communist party to produce a portrait of the Communist experience in the United States which posits a tension between the Byzantine pursuit of the “correct line” at the top and the impulses and needs of members at the base trying to cope with a complex reality. In the words of one of its most skillful practitioners, “the new Communist history begins with the assumption that … everyone brought to the movement expectations, traditions, patterns of behavior and thought that had little to do with the decisions made in the Kremlin or on the 9th floor of the Communist Party headquarters in New York.” The “new” historians have focused mainly on the lives of individuals, the relationship between communism and ethnic and racial subcultures, and the effort to build the party's influence within particular unions and working-class constituencies. Overall, the portrait has been critical but sympathetic and has served to highlight the party's “human face” and the integrity of its members.

The U.K. delegation was led by Sir Robert Watson-Watt.

This rather modest-looking monograph deals not only with the large experiences of the author in relation to febrile seizures, but also presents an extensive review of the modern relevant literature (266 references in the bibliography). The most useful point made in the book, it seems to me, is that febrile convulsions are just that: i.e., convulsions coinciding with fever, the result of illness not directly involving the brain or its meninges. Such a seizure may be an isolated occurrence in the life of the individual, or it may recur a few times with fever; it may be the first sign of idiopathic chronic epilepsy, or it may be evidence of more or less apparent cerebral injury of a static sort; or, it may be the presenting symptom heralding progressive cerebral disease.

A mediados del siglo XIX Chile avanzaba en el camino de la consolidación de la república. Los intelectuales encontraron en la educación popular uno de los medios fundamentales para el sostenimiento del orden. La fundación de la Escuela Normal en 1842 hizo realidad el proyecto de formar un estamento docente capaz de “civilizar y moralizar”. En este contexto, el artículo se propone como objetivo estudiar la figura de José Bernardo Suárez, uno de los primeros preceptores que pasó por sus aulas, a través de un informe realizado en 1867 para la revista de educación Ambas Américas, editada en Nueva York. Se indaga también en ciertos aspectos de la personalidad y vida de Suárez, vinculados con su rol agente de observador y conocedor de la realidad escolar, en un momento signado por la vigencia de una ley (1860) y de un reglamento general (1863), basales del sistema educativo. Se pretende, además, analizar sus apreciaciones acerca de la formación de profesores, el perfil de educador, los métodos de enseñanza, entre otros aspectos, interpretados desde su perspectiva de visitador de escuelas, encargado de vigilar y supervisar los avances de la política educativa de la élite gobernante de la época.AbstractIn the mid-nineteenth Century, Chile was moving towards the consolidation of the Republic. Intellectuals found in popular education one of the fundamental means for maintaining order. Founding the Normal School in 1842 made the project of forming a teaching body capable of “civilizing and moralizing” a reality. In this context, the article aims to study José Bernardo Suárez, one of the first preceptors who studied in those classrooms, through a report made in 1867 for the education journal Ambas Américas (Both Americas), published in New York. It also analyzes certain aspects in the personality and life of Suárez, linked to his role as an observer and expert of the school reality, at times marked by the validity of a law (1860) and a general regulation (1863), foundations of the education system. It is also intended to analyze their findings about teacher training, the teacher profile and teaching methods, among others, interpreted from the perspective of a school supervisor responsible for monitoring and supervising progresses in the education policy of the elite of that time.Keywords: liberal ideology, Normal Schools, teacher profile, teaching methods.ResumoEm meados do século XIX, o Chile avançava no caminho da consolidação da república.
