The book review by Hans Zellweger, M.D. in the December 1971 issue of Pediatrics of the New York Academy of Sciences' monograph on Down's Syndrome presents some very controversial issues in reference to the institutionalization of retarded children. Dr. Zellweger advocates that "parents have to be convinced that the separation is for the benefit of the affected child and not only for the rest of the family." I am afraid that I also would have to be convinced of the appropriateness of this course of action.

The previous paper was first published in 1982, when ethnoastronomy was still in its infancy. It appeared in Ethnoastronomy and Archaeoastronomy in the American Tropics, Tony Aveni and Gary Urton’s edited proceedings of an international conference held at the American Museum of Natural History’s Hayden Planetarium in New York under the auspices of the New York Academy of Sciences. Aveni and Urton were true pioneers who opened up a new interdisciplinary field of research that brought together astronomers, anthropologists, archaeologists, historians and others, all interested in astronomical knowledge amongst contemporary indigenous societies, in how buildings, settlements and archaeological monuments were aligned with recurrent events in the sky, and in how such alignments matched up with astronomical information contained in ancient codices and other historical documents and in contemporary ethnographic accounts.
