The 1964 Olympics
This is a memoir about the hectic preparations for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics that proved to be a successful coming out party. For the Japanese, the success of the games was a source of pride. The world discovered a new Japan, one that was no longer a shunned militarist rogue regime but rather a peaceful democracy on its way to becoming a world economic powerhouse. For the citizens of Tokyo, the Olympic success was doubly important because their cit…
Haplotype analysis for Irish ancestry
Forensic haplotype analysis of the male Y chromosome is currently used to establish the number of male donors in sexual assaults, the number of male bleeders in blood pattern analysis, and for ancestry correlation to genetic founder populations in biogeographic studies. In forensic laboratory applications, its primary use is for DNA profile generation with trace amounts of male DNA in the presence of excess female DNA (e.g. spermatozoa identifica…
Local Responses to the English Reformation
This major new study re-examines one of the most controversial issues of early modern history: the impact of the English Reformation upon the English people. It represents an advance from the conventional reign-by-reign narrative to a more incisively thematic approach. Drawing on the author’s own research in church art as well as in written records such as wills and parish accounts, and evaluating the findings of other recent historians, it force…
Critical Spirituality
There is a poetry anthology edited by Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes entitled The Rattle Bag (1982). The poems are arranged alphabetically according to title and are texts of tremendous variety. This means you can dip into it and find, almost randomly, a treasure. Fiona Gardner's new book on spirituality and the human services reminds me a little of The Rattle Bag. It is full of good things and is a wonderful book to dip into for anyone interested …
Spiritual Diversity in Social Work Practice
I was once participating in a workshop on spirituality at a national social work conference that became quite heated at one point. An experienced social work educator present attempted to cool the atmosphere by saying ‘Well, we all create our own spirituality in our own way’. A voice from the back of the room replied ‘Don't you go assuming that I have to have “spirituality”’. That second voice came back to me when reading this book because Canda …
The Reformation of the English Parish Church
In the sixteenth century, the people of England witnessed the physical transformation of their most valued buildings: their parish churches. This is the first ever full-scale investigation of the dramatic changes experienced by the English parish church during the English Reformation. By drawing on a wealth of documentary evidence, including court records, wills and church wardens' accounts, and by examining the material remains themselves - such…
Reformation of the English Parish Church
The Blind Devotion of the People
In The Blind Devotion of the People Robert Whiting argues that the English Reformation of the sixteenth century had religious significance for only a small number of people, and that, for the laity, it constituted, not a shift from Catholicism to Protestantism, but from religious commitment to religious passivity.Implicit in Whiting's thesis is that our understanding of the English Reformation is too much conditioned by the dominant religious and…
Which comes first, the nation or the state? A multiple scale model applied to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the Caucasus
The aim of this article is to propose and apply a conceptual model to evaluate how national identity, state interests and territory, including both state territory and national homeland, may be interwoven in a particular conflict. The frozen conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh in the south Caucasus, the selected case study, appears to defy resolution efforts based on an assessment of self-determination of nations or on territorial integrity of the sta…
Samurai Baseball vs. Baseball in Japan-Revisited
This is in response to Charles Hayford's piece, "Samurai Baseball vs. Baseball in Japan." In his interesting and well-written essay, Hayford calls Bushido the invention of twentieth-century Japanese Nitobe Inazo. He quotes William Kelly, who says that "Samurai Baseball" was "shaped by important elements of the nation in the early 20th century-education, industry, middle class life, the government, and above all the national project." And he also …
The Samurai Way of Baseball and the National Character Debate
In this essay Robert Whiting does what he has done in best-selling books such as You Gotta Have Wa and The Chrysanthemum and the Bat-use baseball as a window on Japanese society. He draws on his experience of living in Japan for some four decades, and on thirty-five years of reporting on Japanese baseball for the Japanese press. In his work he has suggested that there are some distinctive traits and characteristics that Japanese ballplayers exhib…

Excavations at Tell Leilan, Syria
The 1985 season of excavations at Tell Leilan, north-eastern Syria, revised our knowledge of the city's role in Mesopotamian cultural, political, and developmental history of the mid-third and early second millennium B.

The Blind Devotion of the People
The religious revolution known as the 'Reformation' must rank among the most crucial and transforming events in English history. Yet its original reception by the English people remains largely obscure. Did they welcome the innovations - or did they resist? By what internal motivations were their responses determined? And by what external influences were their attitudes shaped? These are the key issues explored by Robert Whiting in this major inv…
Aspects of Epistolary Verbal usage in Ugaritic and Akkadian
In a recent brief survey inBiblische NotizenPardee has defended the concept of an 'epistolary perfect' in Hebrew letters. In that survey he examined each of the usages of a 'perfect' verbal form (i.e. 'suffix conjugation' orqātat) in the extant corpus of Hebrew letters most of them extra-Biblical. Those forms which described completed acts prior to the writing of the letter were separated off from those which described aspects of the epistolary a…

Six Snake Omens in New Babylonian Script
Abominable Idols
Although the Reformation under Henry viii has received relatively extensive examination from recent historians, one of its most crucial elements has continued to evade adequate investigation. Yet its impact upon the average man or woman may have been as revolutionary as the legitimisation of the English bible or the dissolution of the monasteries, and was arguably far more disruptive than governmental propaganda, ecclesiastical reformulations of …
