Paleonutrition: The Diet and Health of Prehistoric Americans
Kristin D. Sobolik
Scholars working in all aspects of dietary and health reconstruction present their research and its applications to the study of paleonutrition, the limitations of each dietary assemblage in determining paleonutrition, and how those limitations can be alleviated. The 24 scholars present data on the advances that have been made in understanding the nutrition of prehistoric Americans and how those studies have helped define the integrative basis of such research.

Memories of Rahija
Abe Bassett
Sometime in 1987, sadly, I realized that my father, who would have been 102 had he lived, passed the milestone of his 100th birthday without note or commemoration. I vowed this would not happen with my mother, Rahija Saad Bassett. In early May, 1991, I wrote to all of her children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces, cousins, and others, asking them to pause for a moment of reflection at the noon hour on her date of birth. And I also asked for a written remembrance: a story, an incident, an impression to be shared. This book is a collection of those individual memories which have come together to form a vivid image of a loving, nurturing woman, who seldom complained of ill fortune, who loved God, and nature, and life, and her children, and all those about her. Her stories are a part of our family folklore and her history is a vital part of our heritage. This collection gives us a unique way to remember her, and an opportunity to pass on to our children and their children and their children's children the heritage which helped to shape us and them. Thank you all for your memories, and I thank my sisters for their special help.

Physical and Hydrologic-Flow Properties of Fractures: Las Vegas, Nevada - Zion Canyon, Utah - Grand Canyon, Arizona - Yucca Mountain, Nevada, July 20-24, 1989 (Field Trip Guidebook T385)
Christopher C. Barton and Paul A. Hsieh
Fractures are one of the most abundant structures in geology and are found in almost all rocks and soils at or near the Earth's surface. They are found over a wide range of length scales, from micro-fractures within mineral grams (micro-meters) to oceanic-intraplate fractures as much as 5000 km in length. The important role of fractures in fluid transport in the crust has long been recognized by geologists who have studied dikes (fracture conduits for flow of igneous rocks) and mineral veins fracture conduits for precipitation from aqueous Fluids). In studying these paleo-flow systems, little attention has been given to quantification of the flow properties of the system. Until two decades ago, hydrologists (Long, 1983) and petroleum-reservoir engineers (Nelson, 1985) studying fluid flow in rock had recognized the role of fractures only qualitatively. Quantitatively, the mathematics of fracture flow had been considered intractable while the mathematics of porous-media flow through the rock matrix had been developed and refined for almost one hundred ears. Direct observation of the flow properties of rock at field scales demonstrated the inadequacy of the porous media models beyond the scale of laboratory samples. The hydraulic conductivity of fractured bulk rock has been measured to be as much as 8 orders of magnitude greater than matrix hydraulic conductivity measured in laboratory samples of the same intact rock. Clearly, fractures are primary conduits for fluid flow in rock at time scales of economic and practical interest. Quantitative understanding of the physics of flow in individual fractures and fracture networks has become an important research topic with direct applications to contemporary and paleo flow systems.

Thermodynamics of Chemical Systems
Scott E. Wood
The concepts and relations pertinent to the solution of many thermodynamic problems encountered in multi-phase, multi-component systems are developed in this volume. Emphasis is placed on a comprehension and development of general expressions for solving such problems, rather than ready-made equations for particular applications. The first half of the book is devoted to defining the thermodynamic functions and to generating the fundamental relations relevant to chemical systems at equilibrium. The second half concentrates on the application of these relations to real systems and the methods which can be used to obtain additional connections. Throughout, the methods of Gibbs are used with emphasis on the chemical potential.

Electrical Characterization of GaAs Materials and Devices
David C. Look
Summarizes electrical measurement data in GaAs materials and devices, and describes in detail the techniques used to obtain these data and the ideas behind them. Special emphasis is given to subjects sometimes ignored in other works such as impurity and defect Fermi functions, degeneracy factors and multiband conduction, and also to relatively new subjects such as the application of magnetoresistance to determine carrier mobility in device structures. Some of the information is quite practical, e.g., how to make ohmic contacts or where to buy a commercial, automated Hall-effect apparatus. Includes many detailed derivations.

The Philosophical Biographer: Doubt and Dialectic in Johnson's Lives of the Poets
Martin Maner
The Philosophical Biographer shows how a shift in philosophical outlook in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries-from an understanding of human knowledge rooted in deductive certainties to one resting on inductive probability-influenced the development of biographical narrative in general and in particular the way Johnson dealt with biographical evidence in his Lives of the Poets.
Examining the psychological and philosophical doubt that lay at the heart of Johnson's character and intellect, Martin Maner reveals in the biographical studies of Savage, Swift, Milton, and Pope an ingrained pattern of dialectical argument and a skeptical attitude toward evidence--a method that involves the reader in judgments about the poets as it conveys Johnson's own understanding of truth. In the Life of Savage, Johnson moves from thesis to antithesis, generating out of opposing emotional responses--irony and sympathy, ridicule and pathos-an understanding of the man. Dialectically undercutting the conclusions of previous biographers of Swift and Milton, Johnson fashions a new, somewhat acidic estimation of Swift and a portrait of Milton that engages contemporary questions of the probable and the marvelous. The Life of Pope, Johnson's greatest dialectical achievement, alternates between blame and praise, public and private realms, weaving tone, context, and analogy into great, contrasting patterns of inquiry and judgment.
Establishing the centrality of a dialectical method in the Lives of the Poets, Martin Maner links the rise of biography as well as Johnson's interest in the form to the shift in epistemology brought about by empiricism. In the new patterns of thought of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, biography--the estimation of a life through sifting of historical events and evidence--was the most philosophical of endeavors, and Johnson its greatest practitioner.
