Agricultural systems regulate plant and insect diversity and induce ecosystem novelty
Land-use change plays an important role in shaping plant and insect diversity over long time timescales. Great Britain provides an ideal case study to investigate patterns of long-term vegetation and insect diversity change owing to the existence of spatially and temporally extensive environmental archives (lake sediments, peatlands, and archaeological sites) and a long history of landscape transformation through agrarian change. The trends ident…

Improving Payment for Collaborative Mental Health Care in Primary Care
BACKGROUND: There is strong evidence supporting implementation of the Collaborative Care Model within primary care. Fee-for-service payment codes, published by Current Procedural Terminology in 2018, have made collaborative care separately reimbursable for the first time. These codes (ie, 99492-99494) reimburse for time spent per month by any member of the care team engaged in Collaborative Care, including behavioral care managers, primary care p…
Opening the Woods
Environmental reconstructions from pollen records collected within archaeological landscapes have traditionally taken a broadly narrative approach, with few attempts made at hypothesis testing or formal assessment of uncertainty. This disjuncture between the traditional interpretive approach to palynological data and the requirement for detailed, locally specific reconstructions of the landscapes in which people lived has arguably hindered closer…
Music, Art and Diplomacy
This is one of several volumes arising from a conference on ‘East–West Cultural Exchange and the Cold War’ held in 2012. The focus of the volume is the 1940s–1960s, and all of the chapters deal in some way with the Soviet Union as agent or target of cultural diplomacy. Four of the eight case studies deal directly with music, and the focus throughout is on high as opposed to popular culture. In her foreword, Susan E. Reid notes that the ‘Iron Curt…
The Routledge Atlas of Classical History
Covering an enormous range of topics in 97 clear and detailed maps,this Routledge Historical Atlas includes: Politics: from ancient Egypt and the growth of the Greek city-states, to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire Religion: from the spread of Judaism and Christianity to the persecution of the Christians Military History: from Salamis and Alexander the Great to the Second Punic War and the barbarian invasions of the fifth century AD Economic…
The Antonines
The Antonines - Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus and Commodus - played a crucial part in the development of the Roman empire, controlling its huge machine for half a century of its most testing period. Edward Gibbon observed that the epoch of the Antonines, the 2nd century A.D., was the happiest period the world had ever known.In this lucid, authoritative survey, Michael Grant re-examines Gibbon's statement, and gives his own magiste…
A palaeoenvironmental context for Terminal Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic activity in the Colne Valley
Multi-proxy analyses from floodplain deposits in the Colne Valley, southern England, have provided a palaeoenvironmental context for the immediately adjacent Terminal Upper Palaeolithic and Early Mesolithic site of Three Ways Wharf. These deposits show the transition from an open cool environment to fully developed heterogeneous floodplain vegetation during the Early Mesolithic. Several distinct phases of burning are shown to have occurred that a…

Art in the Roman Empire
Michael Grant has specially selected some of the most significant examples of painting, portraits, architecture, mosaic, jewellery and silverware, to give a unique insight into the functions and manifestations of art in the Roman Empire. Art in the Roman Empire shows how many of the most impressive masterpieces were produced outside Rome, on the frontiers of its enormous empire
Collapse and Recovery of the Roman Empire
Collapse and Recovery of the Roman Empire presents a study of third century Rome, which is lavishly illustrated and a lucid read, typical of Michael Grant's inimitable style.In Collapse and Recovery of the Roman Empire, Michael Grant asserts that the fact that the Roman empire of the third century AD did not collapse is one of the miracles of history. He argues that at that time the empire seemed ripe for disintegration and expresses amazement th…

Series and Place
The phrase ‘site-specific music’ is commonly used to describe developments in music since the latter part of the twentieth century in which the exact environment chosen is integral to the conception of the piece or the installation. In this essay, I shall argue that the alternative term ‘place-specific music’ may help describe one of the most important characteristics of many pieces and projects by Wandelweiser composers: a relationship to the pl…
Music and Conflict
This article offers a brief review of literature which demonstrates how interdisciplinary collaboration could help understand the role music plays in conflict situations. Research into the anthropology of armed conflict and into propaganda are two areas where the focus has only rarely covered music and musical activity. A number of concrete examples demonstrate how the use of music in conflict situations has implications for the justice system an…
The Invention of 'Folk Music' and 'Art Music
In his book Understanding Scotland: The Sociology of a Stateless Nation (London, 1992; 2nd edn. 2001) David McCrone analyses what Scots and others perceive to be the essence of Scottish character and society—for example, the idea that Scottish society is inherently more egalitarian than English society, and that Scottish society is more socially mobile. He could also have added the one about the Scots inventing anything of any significance—televi…
Conserving idealized landscapes
Klang und Linie von Pierrot Lunaire zu Ionisation
The premiss of this book is that the unusual instrumental resources found in so many ensemble compositions between roughly 1910 and 1930 may have had a structural function, as expression of a new form of polyphony, over and above the simple, modernist interest in the new and the unusual. Thirteen works by a total of nine composers, and a general chapter on Varèse, provide a broader analytic footing than is generally given in studies of this kind,…
From Prairie Farmer to Entrepreneur
In their study of corn belt agriculture during the twentieth century, Dennis S. Nordin and Roy V. Scott challenge the historical interpretation that the transition from small-scale to large-scale farming has robbed rural America of what makes it special. The book begins around 1900 by exploring the rural Midwest, which was large enough to hold a diversity of love of land, neighborly support, economic hardship, and drudgery. In their survey of the…
Calix[4]arene methylenebisphosphonic acids as calf intestine alkaline phosphatase inhibitors
Calix[4]arenes bearing one or two methylenebisphosphonic acid fragments were prepared via addition of diethylphosphite to the parent calix[4]arene aldehydes. The resulting compounds displayed stronger inhibition of calf intestine alkaline phosphatase than simple methylenebisphosphonic or 4-hydroxyphenyl methylenebisphosphonic acids. The action of these phosphorylated calix[4]arenes is concordant with partial mixed-type inhibition. The inhibition …

Greek and Roman Historians
It is today widely accepted that we do not get the whole truth from any historian. Greek and Roman Historians considers the work of ancient historians such as Herotudus, Tacitus and Thucydides in the the light of this attitude. In an enlightening new study, Michael Grant argues that misinformation, even deliberate disinformation, is abundant in their writings.Grant, one of the world's greatest writers of ancient history, suggests new ways of read…

The Collapse and Recovery of the Roman Empire
The Ancient Historians
If Greece and Rome are held to be the cradles of Western civilization, this is in part due to the fact that they are the cradles of written history. Between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D. men such as Herodotus, Thucydides and Tacitus virtually invented the discipline of history as we know it. To these men history was a dual art; the art of recording the truth as accurately as possible and the art of writing as lucidly as the great men of letters. This tex…
