Once you’ve said that word, you’ve said it aii; it sums up, in a word, ail of today’s apprehensions and misgivings in the public mind - not just about what is perceived as the insufferable attitude of scientists themselves but, enclosed in the same word, what science and technology are perceived to be doing to make this century, this nearing to its ending, tum out so wrong. - Lewis Thomas “The Hazards of Science” You can’t team a science unless you know what it’s aii about. - Aldous Huxley Brave New World There’s always a prevailing mystique in any civilization.... it builds itself as a barrier against change, and that always leaves future generations unprepared for the universe’s treachery. Aii mystiques are the same in building these barriers - the religious mystique, the hero-ieader mystique, the messiah mystique, the mystique of science/technology, and the mystique of nature itself. - Frank Herbert Children of Dune Up until around two hundred or so years ago, science was an intellectual pursuit of common men - the art of curiosity practiced by a motley collection of gardeners, shipbuilders, inventors, and quite often, clergymen and aristocrats. Our knowledge of the world was limited and this was even more true with respect to scientific knowledge. Most individuals pursued science in their spare time, a hobby for those who wished to use their minds and investigate the world around them. Scientific research as it was known, was not the same study of the “hard sciences” we practice today, but rather of a more general character - studies like 1 stargazing, alchemy, and natural history. Every person saw themselves capable of understanding the basics of science. Anyone was fully capable of looking up at the stars or down at the insects scurrying underfoot. Scientists were simply those who looked a little closer, and in most cases, a little longer. By the tum of the nineteenth century, the dam holding back scientific knowledge broke and a technological revolution swept the globe. Our knowledge of the workings of the world increased exponentially. A person could now scratch a living from the discipline of science and the system incorporated a new branch of beings - ones we called “scientists”. The society of science was born. The vast wealth of knowledge was so overpowering that it became necessary to specialize. In order to contribute something worthwhile to the existing pool of knowledge,

  • The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

  • Tarzan the Censored
    TARZAN THE CENSORED by Jerry L. Schneider Forward In "Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure" by Richard A. Lupoff, the author stated that the Ballantine Books' versions of the Tarzan series were edited (evidently for political correctness), not the "all complete and unabridged" as Ballantine stated on the paperbacks. So, armed with the earliest hardcover editions that I owned in my collection (McClurg, A. L. Burt, Grosset & Dunlap, Burroughs Inc., and Canaveral Press) and post 1969 Ballantine editions, I scanned through them for discrepancies and changes. There were changes from the early hardcovers that I found in some of the paperbacks. Some of the books in the Tarzan series were edited for "political correctness" with regards to ethnicity dialects and derogatory terms. Hard to read dialects (or hard to typeset) were changed to an easier form (i.e. hit's changed to it's, heat to eat, and hour to our), while extremely derogatory terms such as Jew (see Tarzan and the Golden Lion) and nigger were altered or eliminated (not for the betterment of the story as the alteration in the words has lessened the impact the originals imparted to the reader—the level of anger toward the character who spoke the words has been lessened). The term "black" remained in place in some books but removed from others—no rhyme or reason to the changes. Esmeralda's original dialect in "Tarzan of the Apes" remained in place through 1969, then edited downward to an easier and friendlier version. Because of these changes, an in-depth look at the various editions of "Tarzan of the Apes" is shown below, while the other books in the Tarzan series are only compared by using an early hardcover version and the first version that was edited, usually the Ballantine edition.

The city was a landmark in the history of town plan- ning, and was recognised as a world heritage site in 1987. Urban planner Lucio Costa and architect Oscar Niemeyer intended that every element—from the layout of the residential and administrative districts to the symmetry of the buildings themselves—should be in harmony with the city’s overall design. The official buildings, in particular, are innovative and imaginative. Plans were first proposed to move the capital of Brazil to the interior highlands in 1789. The new location pro- motes the development of the interior and unifies the country. The satellite images show the dramatic growth and transformation of Brasilia. The dark green color in the images represents forest, agriculture appears light green, bright white spots represents planned areas for infrastructure and pink shows urban growth. 95 1973 (left) The Pilot Plan of Brasilia consists solely of the bird shaped core area and residential areas between the arms of the Lake Paranoå.
