For their subjects, the student authors of this issue looked within and found a variety of personal expe­ riences to record and related topics such as job stress, the impulse to suicide, stuttering, and the experience of writing. They turned outside to the natural world and studied wolf populations, the value of natural environments, and the environ­ mental thought of Henry David Thoreau and John Muir. They considered the process of science: how scientific specialization sometimes blinds scientists to the full shape of what they study. They turned to society and looked at gay parenting, child abuse, and alcoholism. They looked to other countries and cultures: French-Canadian Quebec, Korea, and China. And they looked at human experience by analyzing poetry and fiction. In format, the writers' presentations range from traditional academic writing, such as sketches and profiles, essays, reports, argument, and in-class writing, to the non-traditional: an illustrated port­ folio of personal writing, poetry both serious and humorous, a rap-song book review, even a prayer. The departments represented in the pages that follow are more varied than in any other issue of the Anthology: Adult Education, Art, Early Childhood Development, English, English as a Second Language, Humanities, Interior Design, Journalism, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology, Reading, and Secretarial Science. As always, the Anthology Selection Committee has tried to choose writing that expresses learning-but also writing that, through observation, exploration, or reflec­ tion, actually stimulates learning. Writing to stimu­ late thinking is as important and worthy of inclu­ sion here as writing to demonstrate learning or commumcate. We believe you'll find much to admire in the writing that follows. If you're a student, you'll find models for your own writing. Join with us in con­ gratulating these writers. And look forward to the eighth issue of the anthology in 1996. Foreword Preceding each section is the instructor's descrip­ tion of the assignment. Following is the instructor's evaluation. At the end of the anthology, the judges for this issue describe their standards for good writ­ ing, selected students reflect on their writing, and an instructor, Professor Roy Mottla, shares his thoughts on writing. Thanks to the faculty members of the Anthology Selection Committee for all their efforts in produc­ ing this issue: Julie Fleenor, Barbara Hickey, Peter Sherer and Joseph Sternberg. Special thanks to Michael Knudsen from the Harper Graphics Department, to the editorial and typesetting staff from Harper Publications, and to Peter Gart and the entire Print Shop for all their production assis­ tance.

  • Galilei-1632 Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems
    Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaulti de Galilei ([ɡaliˈlɛːo ɡaliˈlɛi]; 15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath, from Pisa. Galileo has been called the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of the scientific method", and the "father of modern science". Galileo studied speed and velocity, gravity and free fall, the principle of relativity, inertia, projectile motion and also worked in applied science and technology, describing the properties of pendulums and "hydrostatic balances", inventing the thermoscope and various military compasses, and using the telescope for scientific observations of celestial objects. His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the observation of the four largest satellites of Jupiter, the observation of Saturn's rings, and the analysis of sunspots. Galileo's championing of heliocentrism and Copernicanism was controversial during his lifetime, when most subscribed to geocentric models such as the Tychonic system. He met with opposition from astronomers, who doubted heliocentrism because of the absence of an observed stellar parallax. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was "foolish and absurd in philosophy, and formally heretical since it explicitly contradicts in many places the sense of Holy Scripture". Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632), which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated him and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point. He was tried by the Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy", and forced to recant.

  • A New Vision of the Senses in the Work of Galileo Galilei
    Perception, 2008, volume 37, pages 1312 ^ 1340 doi:10.1068/p6011 Galileo's eye: A new vision of the senses in the work of Galileo Galilei Marco Piccolino Dipartimento di Biologia, Universita© di Ferrara, I 44100 Ferrara, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] Nicholas J Wade University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 4HN, Scotland, UK Received 4 December 2007 Abstract. Reflections on the senses, and particularly on vision, permeate the writings of Galileo Galilei, one of the main protagonists of the scientific revolution. This aspect of his work has received scant attention by historians, in spite of its importance for his achievements in astron- omy, and also for the significance in the innovative scientific methodology he fostered. Galileo's vision pursued a different path from the main stream of the then contemporary studies in the field; these were concerned with the dioptrics and anatomy of the eye, as elaborated mainly by Johannes Kepler and Christoph Scheiner. Galileo was more concerned with the phenomenology rather than with the mechanisms of the visual process. His general interest in the senses was psychological and philosophical; it reflected the fallacies and limits of the senses and the ways in which scientific knowledge of the world could be gathered from potentially deceptive appearances. Galileo's innovative conception of the relation between the senses and external reality contrasted with the classical tradition dominated by Aristotle; it paved the way for the modern understanding of sensory processing, culminating two centuries later in Johannes Mu« ller's elaboration of the doctrine of specific nerve energies and in Helmholtz's general theory of perception.

  • Sources: Galileo's Correspondence
    Sources: Galileo’s Correspondence Notes on the Translations The following collection of letters is the result of a selection made by the author from the correspondence of Galileo published by Antonio Favaro in his Le opere di Galileo Galilei,theEdizione Nazionale (EN), the second edition of which was published in 1968. These letters have been selected for their relevance to the inves- tigation of Galileo’s practical activities.1 The information they contain, moreover, often refers to subjects that are completely absent in Galileo’s publications. All of the letters selected are quoted in the work. The passages of the letters, which are quoted in the work, are set in italics here. Given the particular relevance of these letters, they have been translated into English for the first time by the author. This will provide the international reader with the opportunity to achieve a deeper comprehension of the work on the basis of the sources. The translation in itself, however, does not aim to produce a text that is easily read by a modern reader. The aim is to present an understandable English text that remains as close as possible to the original. The hope is that the evident disadvantage of having, for example, long and involute sentences using obsolete words is compensated by the fact that this sort of translation reduces to a minimum the integration of the interpretation of the translator into the English text. 1Another series of letters selected from Galileo’s correspondence and relevant to Galileo’s practical activities and, in particular, as a bell caster is published appended to Valleriani (2008).

Idees que van canviar el món. Mon. Soc. Hist. Nat. Balears, 22; 53-65. SHNB - UIB. ISBN 978-84-608-9162-8. Disponible on-line a shnb.org/SHN_monografies Resum: El pensament de Galileu suposa el punt de partida de la Revolució Científica amb l’aparició d’una ciència on l’experimentació hi té un paper fonamental en contraposició a la ciència aristotèlica vigent al segle XVI. Amb el seu esforç intel·lectual, Galileu va fer trontollar l’edifici conceptual del seu temps amb el canvi d’actitud mental davant els problemes físics. La física galileana suposà una nova manera de mirar el món, que pretenia descobrir les lleis físiques que regulen els processos naturals. La nova manera d’analitzar els fenòmens de la naturalesa fou un procés que pot descriure’s com el pas de la recerca de causes a la recerca de lleis. La física aristotèlica s’ocupava del canvi (motio) i tenia com a objectiu comprendre els fenòmens de la naturalesa mitjançant l’examen de les causes. El coneixement pràctic (techne) havia estat exclòs per Aristòtil de la Filosofia Natural per considerar-lo inferior al coneixement científic (episteme). La Revolució Científica va consistir en bona mesura en la progressiva dissolució d’aquesta diferenciació i en la reconciliació del coneixement adquirit amb la pràctica amb l’obtingut mitjançant la raó. 54 Idees que van canviar el món Galileu Galilei va néixer el 15 de febrer de 1564 a Pisa i fou el primer de sis germans.

First appointed prime minister in 1966, she garnered widespread public support for agricultural improvements that led to India’s self-sufficiency in food grain production as well as for her success in the Pakistan war, which resulted in the creation of Bangladesh in 1971. After serving three terms, Gandhi was voted out of office for her increasingly authoritarian policies, including a 21-month state of emergency in which Indians’ constitutional rights were restricted. In 1980, however, she was reelected to a fourth term. Following a deadly confrontation at the Sikh’s holiest temple in Punjab four years later, Gandhi was assassinated by two of her bodyguards on October 31, 1984, ushering her son Rajiv into power and igniting extensive anti-Sikh riots. Indira Gandhi: Early Life and Family. Born on November 19, 1917, in Allahabad, India, Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi was the sole child of Kamala and Jawaharlal Nehru. As a member of the Indian National Congress, Nehru had been influenced by party leader Mahatma Gandhi, and dedicated himself to India’s fight for independence. The struggle resulted in years of imprisonment for Jawaharlal and a lonely childhood for Indira, who attended a Swiss boarding school for a few years, and later studied history at Somerville College, Oxford. Her mother passed away in 1936 of tuberculosis. Did you know? One of Indira Gandhi’s most unpopular policies during her time in office was government-enforced sterilization as a form of population control.

  • Echoes of the Avant-Garde in American Minimalist Opera
    ECHOES OF THE AVANT-GARDE IN AMERICAN MINIMALIST OPERA Ryan Scott Ebright A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Mark Katz Tim Carter Brigid Cohen Annegret Fauser Philip Rupprecht © 2014 Ryan Scott Ebright ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ryan Scott Ebright: Echoes of the Avant-garde in American Minimalist Opera (Under the direction of Mark Katz) The closing decades of the twentieth century witnessed a resurgence of American opera, led in large part by the popular and critical success of minimalism. Based on repetitive musical structures, minimalism emerged out of the fervid artistic intermingling of mid twentieth- century American avant-garde communities, where music, film, dance, theater, technology, and the visual arts converged. Within opera, minimalism has been transformational, bringing a new, accessible musical language and an avant-garde aesthetic of experimentation and politicization. Thus, minimalism’s influence invites a reappraisal of how opera has been and continues to be defined and experienced at the turn of the twenty-first century. “Echoes of the Avant-garde in American Minimalist Opera” offers a critical history of this subgenre through case studies of Philip Glass’s Satyagraha (1980), Steve Reich’s The Cave (1993), and John Adams’s Doctor Atomic (2005). This project employs oral history and archival research as well as musical, dramatic, and dramaturgical analyses to investigate three interconnected lines of inquiry. The first traces the roots of these operas to the aesthetics and practices of the American avant-garde communities with which these composers collaborated early in their careers.
