The Reader• a Digest A.saociation, Inc., Pleasantville, w... Yorlc, publishes the Spanish language edition in five versions monthly for Latin .Alllerica. In October, 1952, still another veraion began publica­ tion for distribution in Spain. This particular study is based upon the u.s. edition ot the Reader•• Digest for 1951 and the Caribbean version ot the Spanish edition, Selecciones Del Reader• a Digest, for the same year. In tracing the articles tran the AJD.erican edition, it became apparent that much time elapsed between publication in the u.s. edition and subsequent republication in the Spanish edition. Articles trca the Januaey 1951 u.s. edition, for example, did not appear in the Spanish until the Maroh 1951 edition, and tor this reason, the study or the articles in the Spanish iHues runs only tran March 1951 to December 1951, inolusive • All the articles in the U .s • edition tor the year were studied, however, even though acme of them were not republished in the Spanish l 2 edition in 1951 but were oarried over into 1952. These artiolee are lieted in Tablee VI and VII, Appendix. There aleo appeared in the Spanieh iesues studied, acme articles f're:111. U.s. iesues other than 1951, and theee artiolee are listed separately in Table VIII, Appendix. The articles f'rcm the indicated issues of' Seleociones were traced by title, author, and source to the parent .American ieauee• The article• f'rcm the .A11lerican ieeuee which were republiehed in the Spanieh were then classified into eubject categoriee by uee of the Reader'• Dig;eet' a own June, 1951, and December, 1951, index••• .Article• which were not lieted in one of' the thirteen main categories selected :fran the Digest'• index were classified into one of' those categoriee by the writer, or placed in a "General• category. The article• :frcm the American iasues which were not republiahed in the Spaniah iHuea were then olaeaified into subject oategoriea in a aimilar manner. The article• on both lista were studied and an attempt wae made to detennine the baeie tor the eelection or rejection of' each article. A code wae devi aed to indi ca.te wh7, ae :far ae thi • W'ri tar could judge or detennine, such articles were or were not republiehede Naturally, acme articles appeared in the Spanish edition onl7 · becauae they were of' general interest and similarly there were many article• of' general or epeoifio interest that did not appear due to lack of' apace• The purpose of thi a etudy wae to di eoover whether there wae a definite trend ton.rd the rejection, or the selection, or article• dealing with certain subjects. CHAPTER II HISTORICAL REVIEW De Witt and Lila Acheson Wallace, editors and owners of the Reader's Digest, discussed publication of a Spanish language edition o:r the Digest as early as 1936. In conference with their buainesa manager, .A.· L· Cole, and Barclay .Acheson, the present director o:r the International Editions, they considered the problans involved in auoh a publication without oCllling to a clear cut decision. Few mage.sines in Latin Ameria had been able to reach a circulation of more than 26,000; the illiteracy rate was too high to provide any sizeable market; the magazine would have to be priced too low in order to reach the consumer; the mail system in Latin .America was not always punctual or reliable; and it would be difficult to put oat an edition that would have a wide appeal to the readers of all the Latin .A.m.erioan countriea.1 They authorized a survey of the market in 1937 but learned very little to encourage the publication of a Spanish edition• The idea was t•porarily shelved. In 1940 at a luncheon in the Pleasantville office, the idea again cropped up and the good neighbor value or such an edition was discussed. Cole suggested that the price be cut in halt for the Spanish edition and a limited amount of advertising be accepted. It lworman Cousins, "l,200,000 .Ambassadors," The Saturd~ Review Of Literature, XXVI (April 10, 1943), P• 13. 3 4 was estimated that the potential ciroulation would be around 20,000 and oertainly no higher than 50,ooo. As Don Wharton explained, "When Seleociones was being planned it was viewed partly as a servioe, partly as an experiment, and not as a money maker."2 The wallaoes decided to go ahead with the venture and launched plans for the magazine• a publication.

    When the Periphery Became More Central: from Colonial Pact to Liberal Nationalism in Brazil and Mexico, 1800-1914 Steven Topik

    When the Periphery Became More Central: From Colonial Pact to Liberal Nationalism in Brazil and Mexico, 1800-1914 Steven Topik Introduction The Global Economic History Network has concentrated on examining the “Great Divergence” between Europe and Asia, but recognizes that the Americas also played a major role in the development of the world economy. Ken Pomeranz noted, as had Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Karl Marx before him, the role of the Americas in supplying the silver and gold that Europeans used to purchase Asian luxury goods.1 Smith wrote about the great importance of colonies2. Marx and Engels, writing almost a century later, noted: "The discovery of America, the rounding of the Cape, opened up fresh ground for the rising bourgeoisie. The East-Indian and Chinese markets, the colonisation of America [north and south] trade with the colonies, ... gave to commerce, to navigation, to industry, an impulse never before known. "3 Many students of the world economy date the beginning of the world economy from the European “discovery” or “encounter” of the “New World”) 4 1 Ken Pomeranz, The Great Divergence , Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000:264- 285) 2 Adam Smith in An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776, rpt. Regnery Publishing, Washington DC, 1998) noted (p. 643) “The colony of a civilized nation which takes possession, either of a waste country or of one so thinly inhabited, that the natives easily give place to the new settlers, advances more rapidly to wealth and greatness than any other human society.” The Americas by supplying silver and “by opening a new and inexhaustible market to all the commodities of Europe, it gave occasion to new divisions of labour and improvements of art….The productive power of labour was improved.” p.

  • BROAD on the GROWING Blo K Universe

    BROAD on the GROWING Blo K Universe

    Broad on the Growing Ted Sider Block Universe Intro Metaphysics 1. B theory versus moving spotlight The B theory Time is analogous to space in many ways. Past, present, and future objects are all (tenselessly) real. No time is objectively present; to say that something is present is just to say that it is simultaneous with one’s utterance. (Similarly, to say that something is past or future is to say it is after or before one’s utterance.) Change is nothing more than the truth of a pair of statements of this form: “Object x is F at time t1” and “Object x is not F at time t2”. Many (though not all) B theorists accept temporal parts. We are naturally tempted to regard the history of the world as existing eternally in a certain order of events. Along this, and in a xed direction, we imagine the characteristic of presentness as moving, somewhat like the spot of light from a policeman’s bull’s-eye traversing the fronts of the houses in a street. What is illuminated is the present, what has been illuminated is the past, and what has not yet been illuminated is the future… (Broad, p. 141.) The moving spotlight view Past, present, and future objects are real, as the B theory says. But a single moment of time is objectively present. But which moment is present is not “frozen”; the objective present moves. In addition to the kind of “change” that the B theory acknowledges, there is also a further sort of—more genuine—change: the change in events from future to present to past.

THEBarringtoniacecz form an extremely natural group, offering very distinct and uniform characters; they differ from the Myrtacece in their alternate leaves without pellucid dots, in another kind of inflorescence, and in a fruit of very different structure. The iajforewercce is either terminal and thyrsoid, with several approximated flowers, often of extraordinmy dimensions, kecl upon a thick erect terminal stem, or more generally consisting of smaller flowers, spicately arranged upon long terminal pendulous racemes, sometimes subaxillary, or more rarely in branching panicles ; but in all cases the flowers are formed upon one uniform plan. The leading character of this floral structure is, that their very numerous long slender stamens, in many series, are united at their base into a shortish erect monadelphous tube, seated on the outer margin of a horizontal annular epigynous disk, from which they all fall off together, thus differing essentially from the Myrtacece, where the similar stamens are always free, each seated independently upon a perigynous annular disk, from which they fall off separately, leaving upon it many cicatrices, marking the several points of their previous attachment upon it. There is little analogy in this respect with the struc- ture of the i5ecythidacece, where the short small stamens are separately supported upon numerous distinct processes, attached to a large petaloid
