Born in Hokkaido, Higashide emigrated to Peru in 1931. By the late 1930s he was a shopkeeper and community leader in the provincial town of Ica, but following the outbreak of World War II, he -- along with other Latin American Japanese -- was seized by police an...

Schon fast sprichwörtlich ist die Annahme, Sexualität und Hormone bildeten eine unzertrennliche Einheit. So sehr diese Behauptung in diversen Zeitschriften regelmäßig proklamiert wird, so wenig ist hierüber bislang wirklich geforscht worden. Mit einer nähergehenden wissenschaftlichen Betrachtung der winzigen Botenmoleküle im Rahmen des menschlichen Sexualgeschehens mochte man sich in der Vergangenheit offensichtlich nur ungern anfreunden. Till...

Since their discovery in 1986, high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) are considered interesting physical systems as well as attractive candidates for a variety of technical applications. In both cases one of the key aspects to be understood is the mechanism of power dissipation, which depends primarily on vortex dynamics: the movement of magnetic flux lines in the superconductor when a transport current is applied. The present work studies v...

John Koethe's The Constructor is a scrupulous, elegant account of the meditative intellect as an instrument continually registering the passage of time. Exquisitely modulated and brutally honest, these poems would be harrowing were they not so seductively beautiful. No one writing in this country today sees as deeply as Koethe into the tears that lie at the heart of things, and no contemporary investigation of the life of the mind may be calle...

For early American Methodists, quarterly meetings were great festivals at the heart of Methodism's liturgical life. The meetings lasted several days and could attract thousands. In this volume, Lester Ruth offers a revisionist description of worship at the quarterly meetings in early American Methodism (ca. 1772-1825). The author describes the quarterly meeting as the setting in which early Methodism most "dramatized" itself for public view as...
