Until recently, the phenomenon of surrealism in China had been overlooked in modern scholarship, while Chinese artists’ engagement with other movements in western art and literature received considerably more attention.

Through viewing 'place' as both a social and a geographical entity (following Cresswell, 1996), this article argues that although the importance of social relationships in methodol…
Matching in Multiple Schedules Using Long Component Durations
The performance of 3 rats in multiple variable-interval variable-interval schedules, employing 10-min. component durations, conformed to Herrnstein's Matching Law
