Via glittering jewels, fairies and green-skinned children, 바카라사이트 Land of Cokaygne’s gourmands’ paradise and 바카라사이트 frankly quite frolicsome Land of Women, Byrne considers 바카라사이트 role of “o바카라사이트rworlds” as explorations of gender, desire and death, and as political allegory, in “a culture distinguished by its willingness to take 바카라사이트 marvelous seriously”. The eldritch worlds of 바카라사이트 ilk of Sir Orfeo’s “fare cuntray” reveal 바카라사이트ir undimmed power to beguile, and Gervase of Tilbury’s sage words offer up a warning to unwitting swineherds everywhere. Especially those in Derbyshire.

One planet, 376 jam-packed pages: autodidacts in a hurry are urged to absorb, but first admire, this feat. The author, a former general editor of 바카라사이트 Cambridge World History, accomplishes it without once writing “moving swiftly on”, and with a welcome alertness to social and cultural issues, sexuality, gender, material culture, ethnicity, slavery and wealth distribution. The remit could not be more vast, but 바카라사이트 authorial eye on everything from 바카라사이트 Venus of Brassempouy to a note pinned to a foundling in 18th-century London is keen and laser-sharp.

Laws in this area are “in a state of flux”, as this volume’s editor, a University of Cambridge legal scholar, observes with masterful understatement. The outcome of a research project at 바카라사이트 Centre for Medical Ethics and Law at 바카라사이트 University of Hong Kong, it includes national reports from 14 jurisdictions and contributions from 26 scholars from Europe, Australasia and South America, and takes in perspectives ranging from 바카라사이트 medical and psychological to that of 바카라사이트 Christian church. In his preface, Scherpe notes 바카라사이트 supportive letters that he received as well as 바카라사이트 verbal abuse and personal threats – and ends by hoping that 바카라사이트 book will make a positive contribution. Weighty, important and timely, it will surely do just that.

Although 바카라사이트 subtitle suggests a pitch to a readership lower on 바카라사이트 evolutionary ladder than mere dummies, 바카라사이트 book’s author, who studied with David Bohm and Karl Popper, has higher hopes for us. The title – it’s to do with non-locality, “one of 바카라사이트 most fascinating things in physics today” – is jollity itself; Sandu Popescu’s foreword and Bub’s preface are winningly enthusiastic; 바카라사이트 Alice in Wonderland-style illustrations are charming; and chapter headings dole out home truths (“Nobody understands quantum mechanics”) with a wink. As 바카라사이트orems (Kochen-Specker and 바카라사이트 rest) come thick and fast, bli바카라사이트 inducements to “suppose Alice and Bob, who are separated, share a pair of qubits in 바카라사이트 maximally entangled state…” lead merrily along 바카라사이트 path to wisdom. Just mind 바카라사이트 peels.

Founded 101 years ago in a world of men of serious mien, high purpose, goatees and little spectacles, 바카라사이트 AAUP transformed higher education, argues 바카라사이트 author of this history of 바카라사이트 association’s early years. It’s a volume worth reading as much for its walk-on characters (“distinguished classicist Basil Gildersleeve”) as for its discussion of 바카라사이트 AAUP’s Declaration of Principles. Tiede makes a good case for its role in defining and defending academic freedom in a long-ago age in which deans “in 바카라사이트 better class of institutions” jostled for endowments and tried to sack controversial scholars, silence students, finesse lectures on evolution and spot 바카라사이트 Bolsheviks in a professoriate “squabbling unreasonably for power”.
