The need was not only to understand the history and the roots of many of the people in the State, but also the current cultures, issues, trends, and values of modern Asian and Pacific countries. The subsequent endeavors of the faculty, many of them chronicled in these volumes, have been a success and added a tremendous amount of excitement and energy to the college. The Beacon project has allowed us to work with our associate colleges to com- pare experiences, goals, and dreams of international and multicultural education. This sharing has resulted in these four volumes of papers, and the task has only begun. There is much to learn and much to share about how to help students and the community know a little more about the people and places across and within the Pacific. The ultimate educational goal is to replace conflicts stemming from cul- tural misunderstandings, for example, the recent rhetoric of blame and faultfind- ing between East and West, with mutually beneficial endeavors based on understanding and cooperation. We invite you to join us in continuing the dialogues and discussions

Abstract 10 The latest Cretaceous (K; Maastrichtian) through earliest Paleogene (Pg; Danian) interval is a time marked by one of five major mass extinctions in the Earth’s history. The synthesis of published data permits the temporal correlation of the K-Pg boundary crisis with two major geological events: 1) the Chicxulub impact discovered in the Yucatán peninsula (Mexico) and 2) the Deccan Traps located on the west-central India plateau.

" A knowledge of the commonplace, at least, of Oriental literature, philo- sophy, and religion is as necessary to the general reader of the present day as an acquaintance with the Latin and Greek classics was a generation or so ago. Immense strides have been made within tlie present century in these branches of learning ; Sanskrit has been brought within the range of accurate philology, and its invaluable ancient literature thoroughly investigated ; the langu.age and sacred books of the Zoroastrians have been laid bare ; Egyptian, Assyrian, and other records of the reniote past have been deciphered, and a group of scholars speak of still more recondite Accadiau and Hittite monu- ments ; but the results of all the scholarship that has been devoted to these subjects have been almost inaccessible to the public because they were con- tained for the most part in learned or exjjensive works, or scattered through- out the numbers of scientific periodicals. Messrs. Trubner & Co., in a spirit of enterprise which does them infinite credit, have determined to supply the constantly-increasing want, and to give in a popular, or, at least, a compre- hensive form, all this mass of knowledge to the world."

  • Akira KUROSAWA Something Like an Autobiography
    Akira KUROSAWA Something Like an Autobiography Translated by Audie E. Bock Translator's Preface I AWAITED my first meeting with Kurosawa Akira with a great deal of curiosity and a fair amount of dread. I had heard stories about his "imperial" manner, his severe demands and difficult temper. I had heard about drinking problems, a suicide attempt, rumors of emotional disturbance in the late sixties, isolation from all but a few trusted associates and a contempt for the ways of the world. I was afraid a face-to-face encounter could do nothing but spoil the marvelous impression I had gained of him through his films. Nevertheless I had a job to do: I was writing a book on those I considered to be Japan's best film directors, past and present. I had promised my publisher interviews with all the living artists; I could hardly omit the best-known Japanese director in the world. I requested an interview through his then producer, Matsue Yoichi. I waited. Six months went by, and my Fulbright year in Tokyo was drawing to a close. I was packing my bags and distributing my household goods among my friends in preparation for departure the next morning when the telephone rang. Matsue was calling to say Kurosawa and he would have coffee with me that very afternoon. In the interim I had of course interviewed all the other subjects for the book, and all had spoken very highly of Kurosawa. In fact, the whole chapter on Kurosawa was already roughed out with the help of previous publications and these directors' contributions, so it seemed possible that my meeting with the man himself would be nothing more than a formality.

  • Handbook of Universal Literature
    HANDBOOK OF UNIVERSAL LITERATURE ANNE C. LYNCH BOTTA∗ PREFATORY NOTE TO THE REVISED EDITION. Since the first publication of this work in 1860, many new names have appeared in modern literature. Japan, hitherto almost unknown to Europeans, has taken her place among the nations with a literature of her own, and the researches and discoveries of scholars in various parts of the world have thrown much light on the literatures of antiquity. To keep pace with this advance, a new edition of the work has been called for. Prefixed is a very brief summary of an important and exhaustive History of the Alphabet recently published. PREFACE. This work was begun many years ago, as a literary exercise, to meet the personal requirements of the writer, which were such as most persons experience on leaving school and ”completing their education,” as the phrase is. The world of literature lies before them, but where to begin, what course of study to pursue, in order best to comprehend it, are the problems which present themselves to the bewildered questioner, who finds himself in a position not unlike that of a traveler suddenly set down in an unknown country, without guide-book or map. The most natural course under such circumstances would be to begin at the beginning, and take a rapid survey of the entire field of literature, arriving at its details through this general view. But as this could be accomplished only by subjecting each individual to a severe and protracted course of systematic study, the idea was conceived of obviating this necessity to some extent by embodying the results of such a course in the form of the following work, which, after being long laid aside, is now at length completed.

  • Did Mars Possess a Dense Atmosphere During the First ~400 Million Years?
    Did Mars possess a dense atmosphere during the first ~400 million years? M. Scherf1, H. Lammer1 1Austrian Academy of Sciences, Space Research Institute, Graz, Austria ([email protected], [email protected]); This is a preprint of an article published in Space Science Reviews. The final authenticated version can be found online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11214- 020-00779-3 Abstract It is not yet entirely clear whether Mars began as a warm and wet planet that evolved towards the present-day cold and dry body or if it always was cold and dry with just some sporadic episodes of liquid water on its surface. An important clue into this question can be gained by studying the earliest evolution of the Mar- tian atmosphere and whether it was dense and stable to maintain a warm and wet climate or tenuous and susceptible to strong atmospheric escape. In this review we therefore discuss relevant aspects for the evolution and stability of a potential early Martian atmosphere. This contains the EUV flux evolution of the young Sun, the formation timescale and volatile inventory of the planet including volcanic degas- sing, impact delivery and removal, the loss of the catastrophically outgassed steam atmosphere, atmosphere-surface interactions, as well as thermal and non-thermal escape processes affecting a potential secondary atmosphere at early Mars. While early non-thermal escape at Mars before 4 billion years ago is poorly understood, in particular in view of its ancient intrinsic magnetic field, research on thermal es- cape processes and the stability of a CO2-dominated atmosphere around Mars against high EUV fluxes indicate that volatile delivery and volcanic degassing can- not counterbalance the strong thermal escape.
