This book comprises a collection of chapters on Latin literature by a number of distinguished classicists, produced in memory of Don Fowler, who died in 1999 at the age of forty-six. The authors of the chapters were all inspired by the desire to commemorate a beloved colleague and friend. The chapters, including that by Don Fowler himself, are much concerned with the reception of the classical world, extending into the realms of modern philosophy, art history, and cultural studies. There are fundamental studies of Horace’s style and Ovid’s exile. The book is unusual in the informality of the style of a number of pieces, and the openness with which the contributors have reminisced about Fowler and reflected on his early death.Less

Previously, Richard Neuse, Douglas Brooks, and Alastair Fowler stated that age is a variable factor that should be taken into account when considering the main actors in the Knight's Tale, may they be divine or human. This chapter discusses this poem by Chaucer and presents an analysis of the characters using this proposed factor. The characters are then analysed based on the three ages of man: youth, maturity, and old age.Less

Based on the Darwin-Fowler approximation various models for the many-body level density Ω are introduced, critically examined, and confronted with empirical parameterizations. This concerns both the macroscopic limit as well as the case where shell effects are included. Interpretations in the spirit of thermostatics are given. Implications for the use of the temperature concept and of the canonical ensemble are discussed in greater detail. Dependences of Ω on particle number and angular momentum are described. Theoretical approaches are sketched by which Ω can be treated on a microscopic basis, by applying functional integrals or the shell model Monte Carlo method (SMMC), for instance. Less

This chapter presents the basic elements of statistical mechanics, and derives differential laws of thermostatics of deformed nuclei. Adiabatic and isothermal susceptibilities are introduced. Density operators for generalized ensembles are defined, from which various extremal properties are deduced, together with the second law and the meaning of quasi-static processes. Level densities and energy distributions are discussed, for which the Darwin-Fowler procedure and Gaussian approximations are introduced, respectively. Such methods allow for simple but realistic estimates of fluctuations of energy and temperature, and thus help to understand the applicability of the canonical ensemble to nuclei as isolated and self-bound systems. This property reflects itself in inherent uncertainties in the value of temperature, as expressed most clearly by a thermal uncertainty relation. Likewise, there is the obvious lack of extensivity, which is believed to lead to negative specific heats. A critical review upon these issues is given. Finally, general formulas for thermostatic potentials of independent particles are derived.Less

The intimate and revealing nature of Sidney's Astrophil and Stella made the sequence a highly desirable literary property. Although Sidney himself allowed some limited copying of the sequence while it was in manuscript, the evidence appears to be that he kept it fairly close to himself, his family, and his friends. Even so, it had some circulation in handwritten copy form which had an influence on the development of poets such as Harington, Drummond, and Daniel. The web woven around the work's transference from manuscript to print may be difficult to untangle, but it is clear that the circumstances surrounding its printing caused some excitement. Hard on the heels of the ISQO edition of the New Arcadia, the printing of Astrophil and Stella decisively changed the public nature of Sidney's image: he was now not only a heroic Protestant courtier, but a heroic Protestant courtier in print.Less

The chapter discusses how baseball started in the United States during the war as the game spread in army camps and military prisons. When the National Association of Base Ball Players was faced with the question of how it was to deal with colored players, it chose the side of repression and banned black players from joining. Being Negro was already a political issue during that time but the reason for this decision was discrimination. As a result, Negroes just played among themselves. However, this move was frowned upon by local publications. The chapter also tells about Moses Fleetwood Walker who became the first Negro major league baseball player. Others followed in his footsteps including Bud Fowler, George W. Stovey, and Frank Grant.Less

Ice Ih is the normal form of ice obtained by freezing water. This chapter describes its basic physical properties (melting point, density, and vapour pressure), together with ways of preparing single crystals and the effects of different isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen. There is then a detailed account of the hexagonal crystal structure, a particular feature being the disorder of the hydrogen bonds. This disorder is subject to the ice rules, sometimes called the Bernal–Fowler rules, and accounts well for the experimentally observed zero-point entropy according to the Pauling model. The lattice energy is determined by calorimetric measurements, and neutron diffraction provides detailed evidence about the actual structure.Less

“Flesh and Bones” examines the work of Sarah Mapps Douglass, an African American teacher and lecturer, as an example of ongoing resistance to the racialization of female sexuality. A leader of interracial moral reform efforts, Douglass joined the campaign for universal physiological education to eliminate the solitary vice. By the 1850s, growing concern about masturbatory insanity drew popular support for the first wave of sex education in public schools. The chapter reconstructs the content of Douglass’ distinctive sexual counterdiscourse at the Institute for Colored Youth. After the coalition ended between black abolitionists and white moral reformers, Douglass retained some white contacts. Along with Sarah Grimké, she participated in a community of discourse that fused physiology with Orson Squire Fowler’s theory of the feminine love principle in contemplating heterosexual pleasure. Douglass observed continuing debates over purity and virtue but no longer tried to convince whites of African American women’s moral equality. Instead, she selectively reworked physiological theories of sex to challenge craniology, affirm her students’ needs for love and pleasure, and offer contraceptive and prophylactic resources. The rhetoric of solitary vice masked, authorized, and infused this explicit sex education. Similar arguments reached generations of African American students.Less

In this essay, Sidgwick analyses Fowler's attempt to develop a scientific conception of morality that addresses practical applications rather than theoretical difficulties. After distinguishing the moral sanction (that internal feeling of approbation or disapprobation for one's acts) from the legal sanction and the social sanction, Fowler turns to the central issue of how we are to justify the application of the moral sanction as the supreme and final sanction in cases of conflict. In his response to this question, Sidgwick suggests that Fowler oscillates between Hume's view, that moral sentiment or strong feeling puts the final stamp of approbation or disapprobation on actions or character, and the incompatible view, that moral judgments or opinions (not sentiments) determine the rightness of action.Less

This chapter challenges the aesthetic paradigm of “synaesthesia,” the banner under which sound so often appears in visual arts contexts today. It argues that, in contemporary art, the discourse of synaesthesia is predominantly conservative and recuperative, ultimately supporting the dominance of the visual and resisting the incursion of sound into visual arts spaces. Exploring the tensions between the assimilation and the segregation of sound and image in the history of modern visual art and film, the chapter shows how contemporary filmmakers and video artists such as Mathias Poledna, Manon DeBoer, Julian Rosefeldt, Luke Fowler, and the Sensory Ethnography Lab propose counter-strategies that reject the fantasy of sensorial fusion and instead affirm productive differences and tensions between sound and image, seeing and hearing.Less

Examining Donna Haraway’s critique of primatological practices and narratives, and Karen Joy Fowler’s fictional account of primate relations, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves,alongside humanist figures of Man, this chapter explores the relationship between accounts of nonhuman primates and perceptions of human identity. Comparing Fowler’s ambivalence towards anthropomorphism to the recent resurgence of scientific interest in anthropomorphism, it develops a parallel between anthropomorphism and empathy. Contending that empathy, like anthropomorphism, is an inescapable component of cross-species relations, it argues that both should be cultivated only insofar as they stimulate new ethical and political responses to nonhuman life. The chapter concludes by outlining how different modes of primatological reading and writing might generate alternatives to the figure of Man which are better able to acknowledge and respond to our responsibilities to nonhuman life.Less

Cahokia is a major archaeological site of the prehistoric Mississippian period in the American Bottom region of the central Mississippi Valley. It is also impressively large, but it is only the largest of several other large and contemporaneous multiple-mound groupings nearby. The American Bottom is a large east-bank floodplain of the Mississippi River opposite the confluence of the Missouri River. The chronology of the American Bottom is described. The chapter also addresses the precursors of Cahokia. The first modern archaeological account of the presented Mississippian period archaeological record is Melvin Fowler's four-tiered settlement model. While each of the interpretations characterizes the Middle Mississippian social system of the American Bottom slightly differently, the differences are largely quantitative and not qualitative. The hierarchical monistic modular polity account and the heterarchical polyistic locale-centric account are then discussed. These two accounts constitute complementary opposites of the same archaeological record of the American Bottom.Less

This chapter critiques Thomas Emerson's interpretation of the countryside settlement pattern, which he claims supports the view that Cahokia was the dominant centralized power. It also interprets these same data in terms of the heterarchical polyistic locale-centric account. Subsequently, the chapter outlines the mortuary aspect of this archaeological record (primarily drawing on the work by George Milner, Melvin Fowler, Thomas Emerson, and supporting researchers), critiques the funerary paradigm interpretations that they give, and then presents the alternative Mourning/World Renewal Mortuary model. Then, it shows that the very same settlement data can be more coherently interpreted in terms of the World Renewal Cult Heterarchy model. It first introduces the sequential settlement articulation mode. In addition, the bifurcated settlement articulation mode account is explained.Less

This chapter provides a description of the mound and its associated material features and contents, a summary description of its larger context (Woodhenge 72), and a critique of the hierarchical account of this major feature. The chapter first discusses the most relevant components and associations of Mound 72. This is followed by the hierarchical monistic modular polity interpretation, which, of course, takes a strong funerary perspective with regard to the mortuary data and a symbolic referential perspective with regard to the monumental aspect of this mound and its archaeological context—in particular, what Melvin Fowler refers to as Woodhenge 72. Following a critique of the funerary and symbolic referential interpretations of these mortuary data and their immediate material context, the chapter reinterprets the same data in the framework of the Mourning/World Renewal Mortuary model and the symbolic pragmatic perspective. When Woodhenge 72 and its associated feature, Mound 72, are in total shown to be interpreted more coherently in these rather than the former terms, the World Renewal Cult Heterarchy model is strongly supported. The polyistic locale-centric heterarchical account explains both the monumental and mortuary data within an integrated theoretical framework.Less

More
Conventional DNA analysis techniques include cleavage of DNA by restriction enzymes, fragment electrophoresis, Southern transfer, probe labeling, probegenomic fragment hybridization, and print detection (Cawood 1989, Sambrook 1989, Berger 1987). Details of the assay conditions may vary considerably depending on the specific probes hybridized. Endonuclease digestion, electrophoresis, and Southern transfer are not required with simple dot-blot procedures. The quality of the final result can be no greater than the quality of the input DNA specimen and the attention of the analyst to assay details. The format of the analysis blot must be carefully considered to include control specimens and a broad range of size markers. The analyst must also be certain about the sizes of the profile fragments to accurately determine if matches exist between crime evidence and suspect specimen or offspring and putative parent specimens and to calculate the match probabilities. Restriction enzymes cleave DNA at specific recognition base sequences. It is important to choose an enzyme with sites flanking the repeats when fragments consisting of different numbers of tandem repeats are to be characterized for DNA profiling. Cleavage within a repeat sequence will result in the production of small fragments that may be unresolvable. The choice of enzyme, in this respect, is accomplished either by trial and error or by knowledge of the base sequence of the fragment flanking regions. The optimum reaction conditions vary for each enzyme; consequently, suppliers usually provide information sheets for the user. Digestion temperature and buffer salt concentration are the critical features. The reaction mixture can be overlaid with a few drops of paraffin oil to prevent vapor formation and changes in the buffer concentration. This applies mainly to enzymes such as Taq I that require high reaction temperatures (65°C in this example). Unless specifically indicated otherwise, three different strength ionic buffers will accommodate most enzymes.

Conventional DNA analysis techniques include cleavage of DNA by restriction enzymes, fragment electrophoresis, Southern transfer, probe labeling, probegenomic fragment hybridization, and print detection (Cawood 1989, Sambrook 1989, Berger 1987). Details of the assay conditions may vary considerably depending on the specific probes hybridized. Endonuclease digestion, electrophoresis, and Southern transfer are not required with simple dot-blot procedures. The quality of the final result can be no greater than the quality of the input DNA specimen and the attention of the analyst to assay details. The format of the analysis blot must be carefully considered to include control specimens and a broad range of size markers. The analyst must also be certain about the sizes of the profile fragments to accurately determine if matches exist between crime evidence and suspect specimen or offspring and putative parent specimens and to calculate the match probabilities. Restriction enzymes cleave DNA at specific recognition base sequences. It is important to choose an enzyme with sites flanking the repeats when fragments consisting of different numbers of tandem repeats are to be characterized for DNA profiling. Cleavage within a repeat sequence will result in the production of small fragments that may be unresolvable. The choice of enzyme, in this respect, is accomplished either by trial and error or by knowledge of the base sequence of the fragment flanking regions.

This chapter focuses on the traumatized war veteran and the repressed memory of World War II. The key text is Gene Fowler Jr.'s I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958), which imagines the monstrous invader as an alien creature masquerading in human form. Underneath the perfect human surface is the grotesquely malformed alien creature—a potent visual metaphor that captures the complexity of the veteran's traumatization, especially when the injury is both psychological and physical in nature. The alien impostors in the other two films discussed in the chapter—William Cameron Menzies's Invadersfrom Mars (1953) and Don Siegel's Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)—address the larger impact of the male veteran's presence in the peaceful postwar community. The chapter tracks the disturbance caused by the veteran as it spreads from romantic couples to families and to entire towns and the nation at large.Less

In Britain, John Edward Lennard-Jones, Douglas Rayner Hartree, and Charles Alfred Coulson played important roles in expanding the domain of applied mathematics to include quantum chemistry. This chapter examines some of the contributions of the British quantum chemists and how their immersion in the new subdiscipline was shaped by the Cambridge tradition of mathematical physics/applied mathematics. It looks at Ralph Howard Fowler’s work on quantum physics, which reflects the receptivity shown by some Cambridge researchers to the possibilities for chemistry offered by the new quantum mechanics. It also considers the 1923 Faraday Society meeting attended by physicists such as Gilbert Newton Lewis, Robert Robertson, Thomas M. Lowry, Arthur Lapworth, and Nevil Vincent Sidgwick, as well as the 1931 British Association for the Advancement of Science meeting, the 1933 Faraday Society meeting, and the 1934 International Conference in Physics.Less

The demise of the Celtic Tiger has shattered a set of assumptions regarding the identity of the ‘New Ireland’, and this chapter explores how the Child Sexual Abuse crisis has had a similar shattering effect effect on the role and perception of the Irish Catholic Church. Geary explores the profound consequences of this crisis for the sense of Irish identity and the place of religion in Irish life. The process of secularization and the demise of folk religion were already under way, but the abuse crisis both hastened the change and demolished beliefs of clergy and many lay people regarding the nature and role of the Church. Making use of Fowler's stages of faith as an analytical lens, the chapter suggests that Ireland, until the end of the twentieth century, was at ‘stage 3’ of faith development, a period that is characterised by conformity. That social conformity has shifted to a different Ireland, with different values. There has been a shift of interest by some people to ‘spirituality’ rather than ‘religious practice’; this is one element in a transition to a smaller, less socially powerful church, as it requires a new religious language and identity and church leaders are not prepared for this.Less

This chapter focuses on Ray Bradbury's romance with Marguerite McClure, which began in 1946 and culminated in marriage in 1947, and his creative enrichment during the period. Bradbury and McClure met for the first time on April 24, 1946, while he was reading in Fowler's Bookstore. Within a week they were dating and celebrated their first month together in June. They soon discovered that they had complementary literary passions. This chapter first describes how Bradbury's relationship with Maggie developed in a year that saw him work on a number of stories centered on the visible metaphor of the powerhouse near his family's Venice Beach home. It then considers how the powerhouse provided the inspiration for Bradbury's idea for a new story, “a woman who never believed in God before, finds God,” which became the award-winning “Powerhouse.”Less

This chapter focuses on the religious training schools founded by women such as Elizabeth Baker, Carrie Judd Montgomery, Mattie Perry, Iva Durham Vennard, Alma White, and Jennie Fowler Willing. These schools catered to men and women with little formal education who wanted to head into full-time Christian work in America and around the world. The curriculum balanced Bible study with practical work in settings where students experienced an internship of sorts in evangelism and religious outreach. One practical type of work site often used by religious training schools was the rescue homes and missions that opened in droves during the Progressive Era to provide those on the margins with food, clothing, and shelter along with a venue for the gospel message.Less
