The influence of polygraphs on evaluators' decisions regarding sexually violent persons
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the degree to which polygraph results affected evaluators' decisions regarding patients committed as sexually violent persons (SVPs) in Wisconsin. Specifically, we examined evaluators' opinions on patients' significant progress in treatment (SPT), suitability for supervised release, and suitability for discharge. HYPOTHESES: We hypothesized that having failed a polygraph during the prior year would predict evaluator…
The Implied Imperative
The Tirukkuṟaḷ is a text of Tamil proverbs that circulates widely in South India today. While the first two sections of the text contain practical pieces of ethical advice, the third section contains an extended love poem. This variation in content has resulted in a dichotomous view of the text in which ethics and poetry are viewed as fundamentally distinct. This paper blurs the distinction between ethics and poetry by showing how the poetic form…
To Master the Boundless Sea
As the United States grew into an empire in the late nineteenth century, notions like “sea power” derived not only from fleets, bases, and decisive battles but also from a scientific effort to understand and master the ocean environment. Beginning in the early nineteenth century and concluding in the first years of the twentieth, Jason W. Smith tells the story of the rise of the U.S. Navy and the emergence of American ocean empire through its str…
From Mahan to Pearl Harbor
Thou Uncracked Keel
Mystic Seaport Museum's Charles W. Morgan is an artifact of public history and a symbol of public memory recast to negotiate contemporary concerns from war and social crises to environmentalism. The historic whaleship is a potent vessel of memory whose changing meanings speak to the presence of the maritime past
Matthew Fontaine Maury
Historians have long recognized Matthew Fontaine Maury as an important if controversial figure in the histories of science and of maritime and naval affairs. These assessments, however, rest on scholarship that is by now more than a half-century old. It is therefore appropriate to look at Maury’s significance from fresh perspectives, incorporating recent historiographical trends in the history of science and cartography, environmental history, cu…
The Bound[less] Sea
The United States Exploring Expedition, which circumnavigated the world and surveyed the South Sea from 1838 to 1842, marked an important moment in Americans' changing perceptions of the Pacific Ocean from wilderness toward an ordered, knowable commercial space safe for the nation's maritime commerce. Nautical charts and the cartographic process were central to this transformation. Steeped in progressive notions of science and the supposed precis…

The Northeast Asian - Northwest American Microblade Tradition (Nanamt)
The Northeast Asian - Northwest American Microblade Tradition (Nanamt)
In 1935, N. C. Nelson raised the possibility of a prehistoric trans-Beringian migration. His hypothesis was unique in that it was based upon specific artifactual evidence. New data from northern British Columbia and comparative technotypological analysis of microblade core production provide additional support for Nelson's hypothesis. It is possible to recognize a Northeast Asian-Northwest American Microblade Tradition (NANAMT) and to define seve…
