  • The first 500 days of life

    Open AccessJohn B Mason, Roger Shrimpton et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

Those addressing nutritional status are discussed here. OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: This paper aims to…

Despite a history of tornadoes in the area, only 47% of Tuscaloosa residents had shelter plans in place prior to 27 April, but 62% intend to chang…

    John Mason, John B MasonARTICLEAmerican Literature1980

They have conceived of the poetry as a rather than as a literary performance.1) Poetry, of course, cannot be literally a verbal exchange, but Whitman succeeds remarkably in creating the impression that what is in print is …

  • Walt Whitman's Catalogues

    John Mason, John B MasonARTICLEAmerican Literature1973

    VV YALT WHITMAN'S DEVOTED CRITICS in the nineteenth century, such as Edward Dowden, defended the poet's use of catalogues on the grounds that the catalogues were outgrowths of the poet's democratic spirit. Dowden wrote, No single person is the subject of Whitman's song, or can be; the individual suggests a group, and the group a multitude, each unit of which is as interesting as every other unit, and possesses equal claims to recognition. Hence t…
