A weave of time: The story of a Navajo family
The Navajo (or Dine’, as they call themselves) were decimated by their Long Walk in the 1860s, but the survivors soon returned to their homeland, bounded by sacred mountains in the high deserts of

A general theory of bibliometric and other cumulative advantage processes
A Cumulative Advantage Distribution is proposed which models statistically the situation in which success breeds success. It differs from the Negative Binomial Distribution in that lack of success, being a non‐event, is not punished by increased chance of failure. It is shown that such a stochastic law is governed by the Beta Function, containing only one free parameter, and this is approximated by a skew or hyperbolic distribution of the type th…
