        by Douglas Field

B. Yeats. This is followed by articles on the artistic avant-garde and underground of the 1960s and on Blake's significance for science fiction authors of the 1970s. The issue closes with an article on the contemporary Belgian art collective maelstrÖm reEvolution.

        The Aldine Edition of the Ancient Greek Epistolographers: Roots and Legacy

        by Julene Abad Del Vecchio

        This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to the Aldine edition of the Ancient Greek epistolographers. Published in Venice in 1499 by Aldus Manutius, the Aldine edition was the first printed edition of most of the thirty-six Greek letter collections that it contains. As such, it embodies the intersection between the medieval epistolary anthologies that predated it and the printed editions of Greek epistolographic collections that followed, which were primarily based on its text. In recent decades, the Aldien edition has been the subject of important works, which have sought to analyse its contents and sources. This issue explores the Aldine edition from three perspectives: its relationship to the epistolary collections found in medieval manuscripts, its relationship to the printed editions that followed it and its legacy and value for the modern scholar studying Ancient Greek epistolography.

        Child's War

        by Richard Ballard

        In the 1940 London blitz, George Ryland, a skilled engineer, and his wife Edna lose the style of life it took them years of struggle to obtain when they are bombed out of the house they own in a pleasant suburb. The nostalgic story of their small son Alex is set in the apparent calm of Oxford. Alex reacts with a mixture of hope and anxiety coloured by a selfpreserving humour to the unresolved conflict in his family and the distant violence of international turmoil which affects everyone. His childhood is a documentary both of external events as the Second World War develops and of the internal tensions of his parents and relations. The war and his parents' complicated response to their misfortune often burst in upon him, and he finds his father preserving his own optimism as an inspired teacher for him while his mother sinks under her frustrated materialism.

        Resource Sharing in Biomedical Research

        by Kenneth I. Berns, Enriqueta C. Bond, and Frederick J. Manning, Editors; Committee on Resource Sharing in Biomedical Research, Institute of Medicine

        The United States is entering an era when, more than ever, the sharing of resources and information might be critical to scientific progress. Every dollar saved by avoiding duplication of efforts and by producing economies of scale will become increasingly important as federal funding enters an era of fiscal restraint. This book focuses on six diverse case studies that share materials or equipment with the scientific community at large: the American Type Culture Collection, the multinational coordinated Arabidopsis thaliana Genome Research Project, the Jackson Laboratory, the Washington Regional Primate Research Center, the Macromolecular Crystallography Resource at the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source, and the Human Genome Center at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The book also identifies common strengths and problems faced in the six cases, and presents a series of recommendations aimed at facilitating resource sharing in biomedical research.

        The Sparrow and the Hawk

        by Lynda Miller

        Jillie Harte (code name—the Sparrow) a documentary film maker is an agent for the NAS (Normal, Abnormal, Strange) Agency. Her assignment—find The Carmaletta Choker before it falls into the wrong hands and destroys the world. Franklin Doherty and associates are suspected of having the choker, and they are definitely the wrong hands! To get close to Franklin, Jillie is producing a film on “Decoration, Fashion, and Accessories Throughout History," featuring his antique collection. Her assignment is complicated by Griff Ryland, her new, hot cameraman, who is also looking for the necklace. Griff is an enigma. Is he friend or foe? And why is she so distracted by his "pure sex on a stick" appeal? Like the Sparrow, Griff, aka the Hawk, needs to retrieve the choker. It disappeared from his dimension years before, and his job is to bring it back. Since he can shapeshift into a hawk or a mountain lion at a moment's notice, Griff feels certain of success. But he doesn't bargain for a sassy, sexy redhead—and for his overwhelming urge to settle their differences in bed. Now Griff and Jillie must not only overcome the deadly dark forces who want the choker, but they must also face their developing relationship. And they thought saving the world from evil and chaos was hard.

        The Sparrow and the Vixens Three

        by Lynda Miller

        Jillie Hart (code name—the Sparrow) teams up with mysterious agent and shapeshifter Griff Ryland, (aka The Hawk) for the NAS agency (Normal, Abnormal and Strange) in the case of the deadly Carmaletta Choker. Now the choker’s curse is more powerful than ever, and the universe hovers on the brink of collapse. While most of the world remains unaware, in Hollywood, a new production company is casting a film about a necklace with mystical powers—a tale eerily reminiscent of the Carmaletta Choker. Jillie and Griff are determined to stay close to the action, so they pair up again under the guise of shooting a documentary—this one on the making of the new film. They are unaware that Declan, the sinister shape shifter who had previously possessed the necklace, and Gailan, an ancient earth mother who dwells in The Garden of the Gods, have teamed up with three Japanese werefoxes who are masquerading as stunningly beautiful women. Theirplan? To seduce Griff into joining the side of evil and helping them recover the necklace. Conflicted by her mixed feelings of love, desire and anger toward Griff’s betrayal, Jillie has no choice . . . . To save the world, The Sparrow must first save The Hawk. And to do that, she’s going to have to prove to the seductive werefoxes—and herself—that what Griff needs is real woman!

        Essay on Philippine Food and Culture

        by Doreen G. Fernandez

        Doreen Gamboa Fernandez represents “the compleat writer” – her incisive yet soulful writing, coupled with her keen understanding of the Filipino’s culture and psyche, has brought her (and us fortunate readers) into the very essence of Filipino cooking. According to her, “Writing about food should not be left to newspaper food columnists, or to restaurant reporters. It should be taken from us by historians of the culture, by dramatists and essayists, by novelists, and especially by poets. For it is an act of understanding, an extension of experience. If one can savor the word, then one can swallow the world.”

        In this book, Xochitlajtoli, which Martín Tonalmeyotl has prepared from the series that is published periodically in the magazine circulodepoesia.com, thirty-two poets from sixteen languages are brought together with Spanish translations by their own authors. Mexico is a verbal continent of sixty-eight national languages and three hundred and sixty-four linguistic variants. It is also home to Spanish, the second most spoken language in the world, which in its Mexican dialect is used by the greatest number of Spanish speakers. This book shows us what interests the native peoples today in the voice of their poets. Let's dialogue with these literatures and learn to recognize other ways of being Mexican.
