Cataloged archives with finding aids are listed at http://www.amherst.edu/~acrc/archives.html. Percent of Collection represented in the online catalog: A majority of the published books and periodicals owned by the Center are repre- sented in the online catalog. The large Whitney Gift Collection (http:// www.amherst.edu/~acrc/friends.html) is still in the process of being in- ventoried and cataloged. Size of Slavic Collection: Small (less than 150,000) Percent of Collection in vernacular languages: 50-80% (estimate) General Slavic Collection Description The aim of this collection is to have the fullest representation of all areas and schools of Russian creative activity, with a focus on modern Russian culture of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. So- viet-period fiction and non-fiction, poetry, and prose are featured here, as is the rich literature of the Russian emigration in all of its schools. These collections can be found in the Four Colleges Catalog. The Periodicals Collection contains complete runs of pre-Soviet and Soviet publications, including the main Russian émigré newspapers and journals. There are many rare and some unique periodicals published by Russians in emigration, in Europe and in Asia. The Book Collection contains nearly 10,000 volumes dealing with Russian fiction, art, and architecture, books about books, history, poli- tics, linguistics, philosophy, economics, geography, music, theater, cin- ema and dance, cooking, law, history of religion, military history, and reference. The library constitutes a good standard collection of Russian writing, on a large scale. Special Collection Description The Rare Book Collection–A large and absolutely unique collection of first editions and of Russian Futurist and kindred trends of avant-garde writers and artists, many of whose creations are by design both art and lit- erature. Some books are products of artist-writer collaboration; others have been completely handmade, the text handwritten and the artwork lithographed and pulled by the creator. Original linocuts are featured in many of these works of art and literature. The graphics are in black- and-white and in brilliant colors. The editions are quite often infinitesimal. Slavic Collection Descriptions 7 Included here is an extremely rare collection of pamphlets and bro- chures by Russia’s first Dadaist Sergei Charchoune (1888-1975). See http://www.amherst.edu/~acrc/rare/rare_book_collection.html. The Dmitri Tarasenkov Collection–A collection of nearly 1,500 books devoted to émigré literature, especially poetry, assembled by Dmitri Tarasenkov, son of the prominent Russian literary scholar and critic. The collection contains both first editions and some of the very latest works by the avant-garde writers of the recent “Third Wave,” who publish in very small editions. The George (Yuri Pavlovich) Ivask Collection–A collection of sev- eral hundred first editions, many of them inscribed to Professor Ivask (1907-1986). In addition to the above, there are numerous archive collections. For further descriptions of these materials, see http://www.amherst.edu/~ acrc/collections.html#arc.

FORMAT A NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI)1 is a high-level teaching activity where a carefully defined science subject is treated in depth by lecturers and researchers of international standing, and which includes new advances in the subject not yet in university courses. The main purpose of a NATO ASI is to contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and the formation of international scientific con- tacts through formal presentations and extensive subsequent discussions. The NATO ASI format is that of a summer school and includes a number of previously invited main lectures. The subsequently selected ASI participants include actual graduate students, postdocs, and senior researchers. In addition to the main lectures, there will be shorter lectures, review talks, and contributed talks as well as poster sessions in which the senior scientists, postdocs, and graduate students describe their own research. SCOPE The goal of the meeting is to present high level tutorial courses as well as more specialized lectures and talks on the most recent advances in polarimetric detection, characterization, and remote sensing, including military and environmental monitoring as well as terrestrial, atmospheric, and astrophysical characterization. We will present, discuss, and teach techniques developed in various disciplines to acquire information from the polarization signal of scattered electromagnetic waves.

  • Is There Grace in the Soviet Church.Djvu
    Is the Grace of God Present in the Soviet Church? “Notes about the Catacomb Church in the USSR.” Professor I.M. Andreyev Translated from the Russian published originally in Jordanville, New York 1948 Contents Introduction ........................................................................ 7 Professor I.M. Andreyev In Memoriam .................................................................... 19 Is the Grace of God Present in the Soviet Church? 23 Notes on the Catacomb Church ........................................ 59 Notes 82 Introduction In the Orthodox Church many of the most profound theological works written by the great Church Fathers were written not for the mere sake of discoursing on the sublime truths, but to defend the faithful against the appearance of an error - an innovation, a human invention alien to the Divinely inspired Truth preserved by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Church. Often the Fathers of the Church would have preferred to keep silent, continuing in prayer and living the truths of Divine Revelation, which car. at best be imperfectly reflected in human words. Th discourses they have left in defense of the Faith art very often more in the nature of fences surrounding the Truth - declaring what God is not, while God in His essence remains unfathomable to the human mind. Nevertheless, as a result (one might say, a by- product) of their polemical writings, we have received from the Church Fathers a rich heritage of inspired theological writings which help us to better understand what Orthodox Christianity really is. The present work falls into this category. Unfortunately, however, it will not be valued in this way but rather in terms of the reader’s sympathies for, or lack thereof, the present day church organization in Russia known as the Moscow Patriarchate.

  • The Good Occupation by Yoshiro Miwa & J. Mark Ramseyer*
    JEL: K23, L44, L52, N45, P2 University of Tokyo Faculty of Economics Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo [email protected] Harvard Law School Cambridge, MA 02138 [email protected] FAX: 617-496-6118 The Good Occupation By Yoshiro Miwa & J. Mark Ramseyer* Abstract: Many Americans picture the Allied (i.e., U.S.) Occupation of Japan (1945-52) as the quintessentially good occupation: elaborately planned in advance, idealistically administered until derailed by anti-Communist indeologues in its later years, it laid the foundation for Japan’s post-War democracy and prosperity. In fact, the Americans -- especially those Americans celebrated as most "idealist" -- did not plan a Japanese recovery, and for the first several years did not work for one. Instead, they mostly just planned retribution: whom to hang, and which firms to shutter. Economic issues they entrusted to Japanese bureaucrats, and those bureaucrats merely manipulated the controls they had used to disastrous effect during the War. Coming from a New Deal background in Washington, the Americans enthusiastically urged them on. Although the Japanese economy did grow, it did not grow because of the Occupation. It grew in spite of it. In early 1949, Japanese voters overwhelmingly rejected the political parties offering economic controls. In their stead, they elected center-right politicians offering a non-interventionist platform. These politicians then dismantled the controls, and (despite strong opposition from New Deal bureaucrats in the Occupation) imposed a largely non-interventionist framework. As a result of that choice -- and not as result of anything the Occupation did -- the Japanese economy grew.

  • Names in Multi-Lingual, -Cultural and -Ethic Contact
    Oliviu Felecan, Romania 399 Romanian-Ukrainian Connections in the Anthroponymy of the Northwestern Part of Romania Oliviu Felecan Romania Abstract The first contacts between Romance speakers and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. These contacts continued through the centuries till now. This paper approaches the Romanian – Ukrainian connection from the perspective of the contemporary names given in the Northwestern part of Romania. The linguistic contact is very significant in regions like Maramureş and Bukovina. We have chosen to study the Maramureş area, as its ethnic composition is a very appropriate starting point for our research. The unity or the coherence in the field of anthroponymy in any of the pilot localities may be the result of the multiculturalism that is typical for the Central European area, a phenomenon that is fairly reflected at the linguistic and onomastic level. Several languages are used simultaneously, and people sometimes mix words so that speakers of different ethnic origins can send a message and make themselves understood in a better way. At the same time, there are common first names (Adrian, Ana, Daniel, Florin, Gheorghe, Maria, Mihai, Ştefan) and others borrowed from English (Brian Ronald, Johny, Nicolas, Richard, Ray), Romance languages (Alessandro, Daniele, Anne, Marie, Carlos, Miguel, Joao), German (Adolf, Michaela), and other languages. *** The first contacts between the Romance natives and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. As a result, some words from all the fields of onomasiology were borrowed, and the phonological system was changed, once the consonants h, j and z entered the language.
