    FARRAR, STRAUS AND GIROUX TEACHER’S GUIDE Accelerated The Iliad Reader by Homer translated by Robert Fitzgerald Introduction by Andrew Ford “This is a masterpiece and will surely rank as one of the best translations of a classic in the English language . TRANSLATED BY Fitzgerald’s swift rhythms, bright images, and superb English make Homer live as never before . This is for 640 pages • 978-0-374-52905-5 every reader in our time and possibly for all time.” —Library Journal TO THE TEACHER This teacher’s guide is keyed to the Robert Fitzgerald translation of The Iliad. Striking a balance between traditional poetic artistry and immediacy of language, WINNER Fitzgerald gives students the full measure of the original epic’s astonishing power. of THE HAROLD MORTON LANDON Little is certain when it comes to the origins of The Iliad or its partner epic and TRANSLATION AWARD sequel, The Odyssey. Both epics circulated from the dawn of Greek literature under the name of Homer, but who this fabled poet was, and when and where he lived, remain riddles. Already some ancient critics doubted a single poet wrote both epics, and most modern scholars prefer to ascribe the creation and initial shaping of both stories to oral tradition. As legends about heroes and their exploits were handed down from generation to generation over many centuries, bards developed highly formalized language to chant the stories in public performances. These singers had a large repertoire of tales from which they chose when aiming to satisfy a particular audience’s demand, or more likely the request of the local lord.

  • Cape Cod Baseball League Teams up with Pierce-Cote/Regan Communications Group
    Cape Cod Baseball League Teams Up with Pierce‐Cote/Regan Communications Group Contact: Sean Gonsalves, Regan Communications (508) 420‐5566 ext. 118 (w) 617‐308‐8393 (c) [email protected] Cape Cod, MA – Pierce‐Cote/Regan Communications Group (PC/RCG) has a new teammate. The Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) – the nation’s premier summer collegiate baseball league – has retained the services of the premier integrated marketing communications firm in the region to assist the CCBL in elevating the league’s baseball brand. “This is a match made on a field of dreams. We’ve long been recognized as the league where fans can see the stars of tomorrow play today,” said CCBL President Chuck Sturtevant. “Bringing a power‐house like Pierce‐Cote/Regan Communications on board will help us extend the reach of our unique brand of baseball and all that it offers players and fans alike.” With one out of every six current Major League Baseball players among CCBL alumni, the league is as strong as it has ever been. However, with the emergence of other summer leagues, the advent of social media, and a rapidly changing media landscape, CCBL does not intend to rest on its laurels. “Since our founding in 1885, the Cape League has relied on the commitment of a mostly volunteer staff to handle all of the administrative and communications work. We remain confident in the product we offer, but in this day and age we have to work harder than ever to keep the Cape League at the forefront of amateur baseball for generations to come,” Sturtevant said.

  • Selected Highlights of Women's History
    Selected Highlights of Women’s History United States & Connecticut 1773 to 2015 The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women omen have made many contributions, large and Wsmall, to the history of our state and our nation. Although their accomplishments are too often left un- recorded, women deserve to take their rightful place in the annals of achievement in politics, science and inven- Our tion, medicine, the armed forces, the arts, athletics, and h philanthropy. 40t While this is by no means a complete history, this book attempts to remedy the obscurity to which too many Year women have been relegated. It presents highlights of Connecticut women’s achievements since 1773, and in- cludes entries from notable moments in women’s history nationally. With this edition, as the PCSW celebrates the 40th anniversary of its founding in 1973, we invite you to explore the many ways women have shaped, and continue to shape, our state. Edited and designed by Christine Palm, Communications Director This project was originally created under the direction of Barbara Potopowitz with assistance from Christa Allard. It was updated on the following dates by PCSW’s interns: January, 2003 by Melissa Griswold, Salem College February, 2004 by Nicole Graf, University of Connecticut February, 2005 by Sarah Hoyle, Trinity College November, 2005 by Elizabeth Silverio, St. Joseph’s College July, 2006 by Allison Bloom, Vassar College August, 2007 by Michelle Hodge, Smith College January, 2013 by Andrea Sanders, University of Connecticut Information contained in this book was culled from many sources, including (but not limited to): The Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame, the U.S.

    RELIGIOUS POWER, THE STATE, WOMEN’S RIGHTS, AND FAMILY LAW* Mala Htun and S. Laurel Weldon* University of New Mexico and Purdue University [email protected] and [email protected] Forthcoming in Politics & Gender November 2014 version *Weldon and Htun are equal contributors to all parts of this project. Research was supported by National Science Foundation SES Grant #0550284. We are grateful for research assistance from Amanda Burke, Annamarie Calasanti, José Kaire, Kimberly Proctor, Crystal Shelton, and our team from the New School and Purdue and for comments from Aline Coudouel, Jorge Domínguez, Tazeen Hasan, Jennifer Hochschild, Aaron Hoffman, Juan Pablo Micozzi, Tamir Moustafa, David Samuels, Denise Walsh, and participants in seminars and panels at the American Political Science Association, Social Science Historical Association, Law and Society Organization, Indiana University, the University of Minnesota, UNRISD, the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois, Purdue University, and the University of New Mexico. RELIGIOUS POWER, THE STATE, WOMEN’S RIGHTS, AND FAMILY LAW Abstract Sex discrimination in property rights, marriage and divorce, inheritance, and parenting thwarts women’s quest for equal rights, violates international conventions, and contradicts many national constitutions. While many countries have reformed family and personal status laws to promote equality, dozens continue to enforce discriminatory provisions. What explains variation in the degree of sex equality in family law? Analyzing an original dataset on the characteristics of family law in 70 countries between 1975 and 2005, we show that the political institutionalization of religious authority is powerfully associated with the degree to which family law discriminates against women. State involvement in religion offers a better account of variation in sex equality in family law than a wide variety of religious and non-religious factors such political parties, women in parliament, democratization, and economic development.

Brams Department of Politics New York University New York, NY 10012 [email protected] Richard F. Potthoff Department of Political Science and Social Science Research Institute Duke University Durham, NC 27708 [email protected] March 2015 2 Abstract We distinguish between (i) voting systems in which voters can rank candidates and (ii) those in which they can grade candidates, such as approval voting, in which voters can give two grades—approve (1) or not approve (0)—to candidates. While two grades rule out a discrepancy between the average-grade winners, who receive the highest average grade, and the superior-grade winners, who receive more superior grades in pairwise comparisons (akin to Condorcet winners), more than two grades allow it. We call this discrepancy between the two kinds of winners the paradox of grading systems, which we illustrate with several examples and whose probability we estimate for sincere and strategic voters through a Monte Carlo simulation. We discuss the tradeoff between (i) allowing more than two grades, but risking the paradox, and (ii) precluding the paradox, but restricting voters to two grades. 3 The Paradox of Grading Systems 1. Introduction For more than 60 years, the standard framework for analyzing voting and social choice, due to Arrow (1951; rev ed., 1963), has been one in which the voters are assumed to rank candidates, possibly with ties, from best to worst.

    COMMUNICATIONS AND POLITICAL BEHAVIOR IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM: EXPLORATIONS INTO THEORY, METHOD, AND SUBSTANCE by Barrie Glenholme McMaster B.A., University of British Columbia, 1965 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Political Science We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard^. THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA ABSTRACT This study deals with possible relationships between the political information levels of nation states and their behavior in the international political system. The purpose of the study is purely exploratory. Drawing upon the liter• ature of domestic political participation studies and the systems framework of David Easton, the author investigates the relevance and implications of the hypothesis, the availability and reliability of data sources, and the sub• stantive relationship between information and behavior. The author suggests that a basic modification of the Easton model—the addition of a membership environment— makes the framework applicable to the analysis of inter• national politics, and shows political information to be a salient variable, previously overlooked in systemic analyses of international relations. Attention is devoted to the utility of news index and news summary sources for behavioral data. Using corre• lational techniques, the investigator finds that the advan• tages of availability and economy of these sources are somewhat offset by the existence of biases; no conclusions can be drawn, the author suggests, until a more systematic assessment of these sources is undertaken. Using a randomization test for matched pairs of twenty nation states, the study indicates a probable relationship between the extent of information channels and the systemic orientation of states' international behavior.
