Hidden from the wind and enjoying the water (藏风得水)
When organising their villages, the Dong interpret the natural environment from a culture-based perspective within their traditional cosmology. This paper explores the metaphorical meanings of the winds, the water of life and the awareness of life breath qi as they are integrated into the practice of fengshui. These principles are applied by the Dong people when organising their villages, monuments and vernacular architecture. This paper particul…
"Southern Violence" Reconsidered
North African Historiography and the Westerner
For the people of the Third World, nationhood in the twentieth century frequently demands the solution of a dual complexity: on the one hand, a search for an identity long suppressed by colonialism; and on the other hand, an effort to come to terms with the problems engendered by often violent entry into modernity. The challenge presented by this quest for self-identity and self-determination is at once paradoxical and parallel. Under foreign dom…
Protein Differences in the Lens Nucleus from the Desert Woodrat ( Neotoma Lepida )
Extracts of eye lens nuclei from 24 desert woodrats ( Neotoma lepida) were subjected to electrophoresis. This process produced protein patterns simple and distinctive which fell into two groups, one with one band and the other with two. Intraspecific differences in proteins from the lens nuclei of mammals have not been reported before. Electrophoretic separation of nuclear lens proteins may be applied to study the biochemical-genetic basis of beh…

In the distance the hills mount in long and sloping curves. As the vessel steams through the narrow entrance, Boca Chica, it is frowned upon by a series of forts which once held the harbor impregnable. Across the clear and azure water the city appears, white and inviting. Indeed Cartagena dese…
