  • Football, Culture and Power

    Nicholas Ware, David J Leonard et al.BOOKFootball, Culture and Power2016

    What does it mean when a hit that knocks an American football player unconscious is cheered by spectators?

This book brings together scholars and sport commentators to examine the relationship between American football, violence and the larger relations of power within contemporary society.

  • A Flash of the Spirit

    Wade Davis, W Eugene DavisARTICLEAnthropological Quarterly2009

    As a young student of anthropology at Harvard, I was fortunate to fall into the orbit of David Maybury-Lewis, who became my undergraduate tutor.

This hypothesis rests on many iconographic and mythological representations of toads and on a number of speculative ethnographic reports. We reject B. marinus as a candidate for such use because of the toxicity of its venom. A more likely candidate is the Sonoran desert toad, Bufo alvarius , which secretes large amounts of …
