Abstract/short description: Magdalena Śniadecka-Kotarska's article describes the then-freshly developed Zapatista insurgency in Chiapas, Mexico. She summarizes the history of Chiapas and the conditions that led to the rise of the Zapatista movement. She includes recent political and religious background of the conflict. The Zapatista movement is portrayed as a new kind of militancy, less interested in defending interests of one particular group, but able to unite various groups and defend their different interests.

Carboniferous Period.—The Lower Carboniferous rocks, both of the North of England, of Scotland, and of Ireland, afford examples of contemporaneous volcanic action of considerable intensity. The so-called “toad-stones” of Derbyshire, and the great sheets of melaphyre, porphyrite, and ashes of the central valley of Scotland, forming the Kilpatrick, Campsie, and Dairy Hills, appear to have been erupted over the bed of the same sea as that in which were poured out similar materials in County Limerick, forming the well-known Carboniferous volcanic rocks of “the Limerick Basin.” These rocks have been already so fully described by several observers, that I shall confine myself to a very short description, such as is essential to the brief history of volcanic action which I am here endeavouring to draw up.

History Of

The neotypification of Opuntia australis F.A.C.Weber, basionym of Pterocactus australis (F.A.C.Weber) Backeb., is made here thanks to the discovery of Weber's personal notes about it, and of two notebooks containing respectively a drawing and a short description of that plant, both made at the time of its first collection in 1882. Outlined as well is the poorly documented scientific expedition that made this first discovery and the cultivation of an early plant by F.E. Schlumberger on Weber’s behalf. A Weber’s note confirms he knew the mentioned illustration. A herbarium specimen from the same gathering has been found, but it cannot be considered original material since there is no evidence that it was seen by Weber. However, this specimen is here designated as Epitype.

Anderson chooses a job at Washington State College over a boring-sounding job at Westinghouse. Van Vleck intervenes to arrange an interview with William Shockley at Bell Telephone Laboratories. Anderson declines Washington and accepts a job offer from Shockley in 1949. A short history of Bell Labs follows, including the creation of a Solid-State Physics group after the war to, among other things, seek a replacement for vacuum tubes. A short description of solid-state physics follows. The team of Shockley, John Bardeen, and William Brattain invent the transistor and Shockley alienates everyone. Shockley tells Anderson to work on ferroelectric materials. Anderson dislikes the work but is personally impressed by Shockley as a physicist.

The Impact

AbstractWhy did the English Nonjuror Richard Rawlinson promote the 1729–30 English translation of Pietro Giannone's Civil History of Naples? The Nonjurors in England espoused ecclesiastical independency from the state, which they derived from the thought of Restoration High Churchmen and from the French Gallican Louis Ellies Du Pin. Giannone, a Neapolitan lawyer, proposed a similar “two powers” model of strict autonomy for both church and state. Giannone's concept was later rejected by enlightened writers like Viscount Bolingbroke and Edward Gibbon, who associated it with high church prejudices. It was defended by the Dissenter Joseph Priestley, who combined it with his own theory of religious sociability. The impact of Giannone on the Nonjurors and on Priestley illuminates the complex religious background to what is often seen as a fundamentally secular doctrine: the separation of church and state.

Similarities And Differences

This article focuses on the similarities and differences between spoken and signed language Community Interpreting (CI). After a briefoverview of the various terms that are generally used in the relevant literature – albeit in- consistently – to categorize various sorts of interpreting (type, mode, setting), we examine a number of typologies of interpreting events that have been developed in order to allowfor a more complex categorization of such events. A briefoutline of the history of research into spoken and signed language CI is complemented by a short description of the similarities and differences between spoken and signed language CI. We also discuss various examples of research methods that have been applied to spoken and signed language CI.

Western Scholarship

This postscript examines religious authority that is beyond strictly doctrine and practice. It traces the history of Western scholarship on religion and authority. Drawing from their own religious background, Western scholars first emphasized orthodoxy (doctrine) as an important religious authority in Buddhism. This was gradually expanded to include orthopraxy (the practice itself). Throughout this development, scholars acknowledged the importance of culture, but never as an equal authoritative axis to orthodoxy and orthopraxy. The postscript argues that the absence of an alternative religious authority, of equal weight, hinders the analysis of Buddhist roles in politics and violence, as well as the study of Buddhism in general.
