Fox Wars University of Oklahoma Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This is the saga of the Fox (or Mesquakie) Indians' struggle to maintain their identity in the face of colonial New France during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The Foxes occupied central Wisconsin, where for a long time they had warred with the Sioux and, more recently, had opposed the extension of the French firearm-and-fur trade with their western enemies. Caught between the Sioux anvil and the French hammer, the Foxes enlisted other tribes' support and maintained their independence until the late 1720s. Then the French treacherously offered them peace before launching a campaign of annihilation against them. The Foxes resisted valiantly, but finally were overwhelmed and took sanctuary among the Sac Indians, with whom they are closely associated to this day. R. David Edmunds, Professor of History at Indiana University, is an award-winning author of Native American histories. Joseph L. Peyser, Professor of French at Indiana University South Bend and well known as an editor and translator of documents relating to New France, received the 1991 Hesseltine Award of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin for his research on the French-Fox conflict. "It treats an important topic and touches on such vital themes as intertribal warfare, the impact of the fur trade on Indians, and the democratic mature of Indian societies and how that militated against strong tribal government."-William T. Hagan, author of The Sac and Fox Indians. "By incorporating Fox oral traditions and uncovering new manuscript sources, R. David Edmunds and Joseph L. Peyser have given us new insights into the history of the Foxes. Anyone interested in American Indians should find this book useful. It treats an important topic and touches on such vital themes as intertribal warfare, the impact of the fur trade on Indians, and the democratic nature of Indian societies and how that militated against strong tribal government." -William T. Hagan, author of The Sac and Fox Indians.

High Pressure Experimental Methods Oxford University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The properties of materials are altered, sometimes radically, when very high pressures are applied. This book surveys the apparatus available for high pressure studies with a particular emphasis on diamond anvil cells and related equipment. It also examines pressure measurement techniques at extreme values. A large part of the book considers the experimental needs and arrangement for studies involving the interaction of high pressures with high and low temperatures, magnetic fields, and shock waves. Optical properties, Brillouin and Raman scattering, infrared spectroscopy, eletron spin and nuclear magnetic resonance at high pressures are also covered.

They Came to See Poetry Anvil Press Poetry

Powieści i opowiadania

Tadeusz Rozewicz (b. 1921) is one of the outstanding figures in the generation of writers whose work was indelibly marked by Poland's traumatic and tragic wartime experience. Rejecting traditional aesthetic values which struck him as offensive and gratuitous in the face of what he had witnessed, Rozewicz created a stark, direct poetry devoid of embellishment and rooted in common speech.

Music's Bride Anvil Press Poetry

Powieści i opowiadania

Kociejowski, an antiquarian bookseller living in England, offers us a short and motley collection of poems centering on the theme of music. Like Borges trolling for inspiration among the special collections of libraries, Kociejowski looks for his subjects in obscure texts and forgotten legends. 'Salvatore Guiliano' concerns the adventures of a Sicilian bandit, 'The Charterhouse at Valldemosa' recounts the winter spent by George Sand and Frédéric Chopin on Majorca, and 'Communiqué for William Hoffer' reflects on a Canadian literary lion who was also 'one of the best poets never to have written a verse.' But whereas Borges's bibliolatry was only a springboard into the ether of metaphysics and religion, Kociejowski seems to enjoy the recherché for its own sake. Most of his poems are thus accompanied by long explanatory endnotes, in which the jocose vies with the pedantic. The wildly disparate subjects of these works are nominally gathered under the cloudy trope of 'music.' Chopin figures in two of the long poems, another concerns the songs of a Persian Sufi singer, and 'A Pavane for Sydney Housego' describes an old violinist playing for money in a park. The long poem about Chopin and George Sand in Majorca is essentially a prosy piece of biography culled from letters written by Sand with no organizing themes or extended conceits. Yet in the final section Kociejowski will have the final word on Chopin, pulling this limp rabbit from his inch-deep hat: 'What music is, his life is: / a prelude that supposes what it is prelude to exists already, / if soundlessly so.' The sentence, likethepoetry, requires long puzzling and offers brief rewards.
